What drives the price of a website
- 01
Custom design or a template
A template is fastest and cheapest; custom design fits your projects and buyers and costs more.
- 02
Who writes and shoots
Copy, photography and film are often the largest hidden costs. Ask whether they are included.
- 03
Number of page types
Ten pages of one type cost far less than ten different page types.
- 04
Integrations
CRM, booking, inventory or quote forms add build and testing time.
- 05
SEO, AI search and accessibility
Structured data, answer-first copy and WCAG 2.2 AA checks are work, and worth it.
