How much does a website cost and what decides what you pay

It depends mostly on how many pages are built, who writes the copy and what is included after launch. With us, a website costs $1,000 for one page, $3,000 for up to five pages and $5,000 for up to ten pages, all excl. tax.

On top of that come hosting and the app from $200 a month. If you build the site yourself with a site builder, you pay less in money but spend more of your own time.

The price covers planning, design, the copy, the build in WordPress, technical SEO and AEO, and 30 days of free support after launch. Small is built on a customized template, while Medium and Large get a design made for your brand.

Medium also includes Google Business Profile setup, analytics and a consent banner. Large also has a blog and several languages. Everything is spelled out in the quote before you sign.

Hosting and maintenance. It costs $200 a month for Small, $300 for Medium and $500 for Large, excl. tax.

That covers hosting, SSL, daily backups, WordPress updates and security monitoring, plus set support hours and email addresses on your domain. The agreement has a 12-month commitment and then 3 months' notice.

No. The one-time price and the monthly price are in the quote, and we do not bill hours for what has been agreed. Anything extra is something you choose yourself.

Examples are more pages than the package includes, booking, an online store or a connection to your accounting software. With a growth package your ad budget comes on top, and you pay it directly to Google and Meta. When you get quotes from others, ask what changes cost after launch.

Usually because less is included. A cheap website is often a ready-made template where you write the copy yourself, with no technical SEO, and where hosting and updates become your own job.

That can be the right call if you only need a simple page with contact details. Still, check what changes cost afterward, and whether you own the site or rent it from a platform. That is where the difference tends to show.

When the website has to win customers and not just show that you exist. If you have many services, several audiences or customers who compare suppliers, each service needs its own page with good copy.

Custom design, several languages and connections to the systems you use also cost more. Our advice is to pay for what brings in leads, and wait with the rest until you see what the site delivers.

Yes. With WordPress you can start with Small or Medium and add pages, booking, an online store or more languages when the need comes, without rebuilding the site.

The same goes for marketing. You can begin with just the website and add a growth package later, when you want ads and follow-up. What matters most is planning the structure so it can grow.

In dollars it is often cheaper. With a site builder you pay a monthly subscription to the platform instead of a one-time price, and you do the work yourself.

What you save, you pay for with time. The slowest part is writing copy that answers what customers wonder about, and setting the site up properly for Google. If you have the time and like writing, it can be a good place to start.

For a new website, yes. With a fixed price you know what you pay before the work starts, and the supplier carries the risk if the job takes longer than planned.

Hourly pricing suits small, well-defined changes where both sides know what needs doing. Before you accept a quote in hours, ask for an estimate with a cap. We give a fixed price for the website and agree the scope in writing before we begin.
