The ranges come from our published 2026 cost guides: how much a small business website costs, e-commerce website cost, and how to hire a web development agency. We track real freelancer and agency quotes across the US and AU.
Per-page rates are midpoints of what builders actually charge: site builders $100–$250/page, freelancers $200–$450/page, agencies $500–$900/page, and custom builds $1,500–$3,500/page. Features and integrations follow the $500–$3,000 each range from our cost guide.
Your final quote depends on your content, your market and the agency you choose. This tool gives you an honest budget range so nobody can overcharge you.
A professional small-business website costs $1,000–$5,000 from a freelancer, $5,000–$15,000 from a web agency, and $300–$1,000 if you build it yourself on a site builder. Most small businesses that want a site that converts should budget $3,000–$8,000.
Five factors move the price more than anything else: page count and scope, features and integrations, template vs custom design, professional copywriting, and who builds it. Custom booking systems, payments, CRM syncs and third-party APIs each add $500–$3,000.
Budget $100–$600/mo typical for hosting, domain + SSL, maintenance and updates, security and backups, and email/CRM tools. An e-commerce store adds app subscriptions and payment processing on top.
Most small businesses do not. A quality template with your branding applied runs $500–$2,000 and is fine. Custom design ($3,000–$10,000+) pays off when brand and conversion are competitive weapons in your market.
Spend on copy and conversion instead of fancy design, write the content yourself if you can, keep scope tight (start with the pages that convert), and own your domain, hosting and files so you never pay exit fees.
