How much should a business website cost?

Start with scope, then compare prices

Our published website packages start at $1,500 for Basic, $2,500 for Professional, and $5,000 for Enterprise. These are starting prices for our services, not industry averages or a fixed quote for every project. Compare the current website packages and included features, then discuss the work your business actually needs.

Before requesting an estimate, list your essential pages, the action you want visitors to take, and any systems the website must connect to. Separate launch requirements from features you can add later. This gives each provider the same brief and makes proposals easier to compare.

What changes the price?

• Content and design: Identify who supplies copy, photography, branding, and product information. A project with approved content has a different workload from one that needs all of it created.
• Customer workflows: A contact form, an external booking link, and a custom booking system are different deliverables. Specify whether customers need payments, accounts, scheduling, or order tracking.
• Content management: Decide what your team needs to edit and who can publish changes. A custom dashboard adds scope beyond a set of informational pages.
• Integrations and migration: Moving existing content, keeping important URLs working, and connecting a CRM or inventory system require planning and verification.
• Testing and handoff: Ask which devices, forms, payment paths, accessibility checks, and training are included in the quote.

Two real projects, different requirements

For Sushi Snob's restaurant website, the work connects the restaurant experience with existing reservation, takeout, and gift-card providers. When an existing provider already handles a task well, a clear path to that provider can be more appropriate than rebuilding its functionality.

The Mission Vending storefront includes product configuration, freight, financing workflows, and order administration. These requirements introduce more customer paths and operational rules to design and test. The case studies describe delivered scope; their project prices are not published here.

Budget for costs after launch

Ask for one-time implementation costs and recurring costs separately. Your domain, hosting, maintenance, booking tools, email services, payment processing, and third-party subscriptions may be billed separately. Find out which accounts you own and what happens if you change providers.

Review hosting and maintenance options alongside the build proposal. Clarify whether support covers fixes, content edits, new features, or a defined combination. Traffic and service usage can also affect operating costs.

When is a redesign worth discussing?

Start with the specific problem: customers cannot find a service, the mobile contact path is difficult, content is out of date, or your team cannot make routine updates. Sometimes focused changes address the problem; sometimes the underlying structure needs rebuilding.

For an existing site, include its important URLs and available search and lead data in the brief. Plan redirects when URLs change and verify forms and analytics before launch. A new design alone does not establish that traffic or sales will improve.

Bring these five things to a consultation

1. Your current website, if you have one, and the problem you want to solve.
2. Your primary customer and the action they should take.
3. Your must-have pages, tools, and integrations.
4. Your available content, budget range, and desired launch date.
5. Who will approve the work and maintain the website afterward.
