A complete breakdown of website costs — from DIY to custom builds — so you know what to expect.
The cost of a website ranges from $0 (DIY with a free builder) to $50,000+ (custom enterprise build). For most small to mid-size businesses, a professional website costs between $2,500 and $10,000. The price depends on the complexity, features, design, and who builds it.
Understanding what drives the cost helps you make an informed decision and avoid overpaying or underinvesting.
DIY website builder (Wix, Squarespace): $16-$49/month + your time. Freelancer basic site: $1,000-$3,000. Professional small business website: $2,500-$8,000. Custom design with advanced features: $8,000-$20,000. Ecommerce website: $5,000-$25,000. Enterprise/custom web application: $25,000-$100,000+.
Don't forget ongoing costs: hosting ($5-$30/month), domain ($10-$15/year), SSL (often free with hosting), maintenance ($20-$100/month), and optional SEO/marketing ($300-$1,500/month). Budget for these when calculating your total cost of ownership.
The cheapest website isn't always the best value. A $1,500 website that doesn't generate leads costs more than a $5,000 website that brings in customers every month.
