What drives the price of a custom website
It depends less on the design than on what the site has to do. These are the factors that move the price, and how we quote.
What moves the price
- How many pages there are and how much copy is missing. If the copy doesn't exist, someone has to write it.
- Whether it sells online. A store adds a catalog, a cart, payments and an admin panel for orders.
- Whether it's bilingual. Two languages means two versions of every page, not a machine translation.
- What it connects to: WhatsApp, a contact form, a calendar, a CRM or invoicing.
- Who maintains it afterwards: hosting, security, backups and updates.
How we quote
We don't have a flat rate, because every site does different things. In the free assessment we look at what you need, then send you a proposal with a fixed scope, timeline and price, in writing, before we start. A business website takes 1–2 weeks; an online store, 2–4.
Every site includes custom design, a mobile version, SEO basics, WhatsApp and a contact form. The domain and the code are in your name.
What to ask before you hire someone
- Is the price fixed, or billed by the hour?
- Will the domain and the code be in my name?
- What happens if I want to change something after launch?
- Who responds if the site goes down?
- Can I see it on my own phone before I pay the balance?
When cheap gets expensive
A template can be enough to start. The trouble starts when the site doesn't show up on Google, loads slowly on phones, or nobody answers the form. Before comparing prices, compare what you get and who's in charge afterwards.
