It's the first question almost every business owner asks, and the honest answer is: it depends. A simple, well-built site for a local business costs far less than a large e-commerce store or a custom web app. The good news is that the price is driven by a handful of clear factors — once you understand them, budgeting gets easy.
What actually drives the price
Most of the cost comes down to scope and complexity, not a mysterious hourly figure:
- Number of pages and how much custom design each needs.
- Features — online ordering, booking, memberships, payments, or a simple brochure site.
- Content — whether copy and photos are ready or need to be created.
- Integrations — CRMs, email tools, booking systems, or payment processors.
- Ongoing needs — maintenance, hosting, and updates after launch.
Cheap isn't the same as inexpensive
A $20 template you build yourself can end up costing you far more in lost customers if it loads slowly, breaks on mobile, or never ranks on Google. The goal isn't the lowest price — it's the best return. A site that brings in a handful of extra customers a month pays for itself quickly.
How we price it
We start every project with a free quote and a clear, fixed price — no hourly surprises. We scope the first version around the features that will actually grow your business, so you're never paying for things you don't need. If you're a local small business, our local web development is built to be affordable and to pay for itself.
