One of the most common questions we hear is: “How much does a website cost?” The honest answer is — it depends. But let us give you a transparent breakdown so you know what to expect.
What affects the price
Three main factors drive the cost of a custom website: complexity, number of pages, and required features. A simple one-page landing site is fundamentally different from a multi-page site with a blog, CMS, and custom integrations.
- •Pages & content volume — more pages means more design and development time
- •Custom functionality — e-commerce, user accounts, API integrations add complexity
- •Design polish — custom animations, illustrations, and brand work take additional effort
Typical price ranges
Here's what you can generally expect for custom-built sites in 2026:
- •Single-page landing site: $300–$500
- •Multi-page business site (3–5 pages): $700–$1,200
- •Full web application with backend: $1,500+
- •E-commerce store: $1,000–$3,000+
Why custom costs more than templates
Template-based builders like Squarespace or Wix charge $15–$50 per month, but you trade ownership, performance, and flexibility. A custom site costs more upfront but gives you full ownership, better performance, and a design that actually fits your brand.
Over three years, a custom site often pays for itself in better conversion rates, faster load times, and the ability to add exactly the features your business needs.
What you get with a custom site
- •Full ownership of the code, domain, and hosting
- •A design built specifically for your brand — not a modified template
- •Performance optimized from the ground up
- •Scalability — your site grows with your business
- •No monthly subscription fees beyond hosting
