Website Development Cost in 2026
Website quotes vary wildly because scope varies wildly. Here are realistic bands, what pushes a project up or down, and the costs quotes often leave out.
Indicative pricing
- Landing page — $150 – $400. 1 page, conversion-focused, forms and analytics
- Business website — $400 – $1,200. 5–12 pages, CMS, SEO basics, contact flows
- Ecommerce store — $900 – $3,000. Catalogue, payments, shipping, order management
- Web app / SaaS — $2,500+. Auth, database, dashboards, custom business logic
What actually moves the price
Page count matters less than people expect. Custom design, integrations and content production are the real cost drivers.
- Custom design vs adapting a proven layout
- Integrations: CRM, payments, booking, ERP
- Content: do you supply copy and images, or do we produce them
- Multilingual versions and region-specific pages
- Ongoing maintenance vs one-time handover
Costs quotes often hide
Before comparing two quotes, confirm domain and hosting, premium plugin or theme licences, stock imagery, post-launch support window, and whether source code is included.
How payment works here
No advance. We build the agreed scope, you review the live preview, and the invoice is raised only after approval — so a quote can never turn into money spent on something you did not want.
Frequently asked questions
Why are website quotes so different from each other?
Different scope, not different greed. Compare deliverables line by line — design source, revisions, SEO, support window and code ownership.
Is there a monthly cost after launch?
Only hosting and domain, unless you choose an optional maintenance plan. There is no mandatory subscription.
Do you charge extra for revisions?
Revisions inside the agreed scope are included before approval, because approval is what triggers payment.
