How Much Does a Small Business Website Cost?

What actually drives the price of a small business website, the ongoing costs people forget, and questions to ask before you pay anyone.

Page Proper ·

Small business website prices range from free do-it-yourself builders to agency projects that cost thousands. The price usually depends on a few things, not on how many pages you have.

What drives the price

  • Who does the work. Doing it yourself costs time. Hiring someone costs money but saves time and usually gives a cleaner result.
  • Custom features. Online stores, booking, member logins and integrations add cost. A clear brochure site with a contact form is the simplest.
  • Writing and photos. Someone has to write the words and gather images. Ask whether that is included.
  • Revisions. Find out how many rounds of changes are included.

Ongoing costs to plan for

  • Domain name: renewed every year. Make sure it is registered in your name.
  • Hosting: where the site lives. Some providers bundle it with upkeep.
  • Updates: hours, prices, photos and seasonal changes.
  • Tools: booking or ordering tools often have their own subscription.

Questions to ask before you pay

  1. Can I see a preview before I pay?
  2. Who owns the domain and the site?
  3. What is included in the monthly fee, and can I cancel?
  4. How do I request changes, and how fast are they done?
