How much does a business website cost in 2026?

Every project carries a development cost and a project setup cost. Development is the design and build of the pages themselves. Project setup is the technical groundwork: domain configuration, environments, analytics, deployment, and the launch itself.

Both numbers are shown separately here, so the total to launch is never assembled after the fact.

These are the studio's live figures. They are not estimates written into an article; they read from the same catalog every proposal uses, so they cannot drift.

• Page count and the amount of original writing required.
• Commerce, payments, inventory, and customer accounts.
• Custom systems, integrations, and internal tooling.
• Multilingual delivery, where every page exists twice.
• Additional capabilities selected on top of the base project type.

A website is not a one-time purchase. Managed Hosting can be selected on its own. Monthly Maintenance includes Managed Hosting for the websites covered by the plan, and SEO Growth includes both Monthly Maintenance and Managed Hosting.

The recurring plans form a hierarchy, so included lower tiers are not charged again as separate monthly lines.

• One offer, one audience, one action: a single-purpose site is enough.
• Several services, a team, and ongoing content: a corporate site earns its cost.
• Selling products directly with inventory and payments: commerce, not a brochure.
• Systems, portals, integrations, or internal tooling: a custom build.
• If two levels feel possible, start at the smaller one and add capabilities from there to see the difference in the number.

For a focused single-purpose site, US$290 to launch is the studio starting point. For a custom platform with systems behind it, pricing begins at US$2,400. Both figures are development plus project setup, before any monthly services.

The useful question is not what a website costs. It is what the website has to do, and what the business loses each month while it is not doing it.
