What actually drives the cost
A five-page brochure site and a multi-location site with online booking and a customer login are both 'a website,' but they take very different amounts of work. Price tracks scope: the number of unique page designs, the features behind them, and how much custom design and content the project needs.
Anyone who quotes a flat number before understanding your scope is guessing. What we can do is be clear about the levers so you can see where your project sits.
- Site type: brochure/marketing, content/blog, e-commerce, or web app
- Number of unique page templates and total page count
- Custom design depth vs. a lighter, template-based approach
- Features: booking, payments, logins, integrations, multi-language
- Who provides content — copywriting and photography add scope
- Ongoing needs: hosting, maintenance, and future updates
How web projects are usually priced
Most agency web work is quoted as a fixed project price after a scoping conversation, so you know the number before work starts. Ongoing hosting and maintenance are typically a separate, smaller recurring cost.
We don't publish a price on this page because an honest number requires knowing your scope. What we can promise is a clear, itemized quote with no surprise line items — and a straight answer about where you could spend less.
- Fixed project quote for the build, agreed before work begins
- Separate recurring cost for hosting and maintenance, if you want it
- Third-party costs (premium fonts, stock photos, some tools) called out separately
- Optional phases so you can launch lean and add features later
- No mandatory long-term contract just to get a working site
- A free consultation to turn your scope into a real number

Frequently asked questions
Can you just tell me a ballpark?
Not honestly, without knowing what you need — a ballpark given blind is how projects go wrong. But a short consultation is usually enough for us to give you a real, specific quote. Tell us your site type, roughly how many pages, and what it needs to do.
Why do quotes vary so much between providers?
Because 'website' covers everything from a one-page template to a custom application. Differences also come from how much is custom vs. templated, whether content is included, and what happens after launch. Compare scope, not just the headline price.
Is a cheaper DIY builder a better deal?
It can be, if you have the time to build and maintain it and your needs are simple. The tradeoff is your hours, a template look, and limits you'll hit as you grow. We're happy to tell you when a builder is genuinely the right call for your situation.
