How much does a custom website cost?

The price of a custom website depends on what it has to do: a showcase page costs far less than a platform with user accounts, payments and several languages. My custom websites start at $1000, and the final price is agreed before work starts based on what the project needs.

What raises or lowers the price

The factors that weigh most are:

  • Features: user accounts, payments, private areas or admin dashboards.
  • How many pages and how much content has to be prepared.
  • Languages: each language is another version of every text.
  • Design: an adapted template or a design made from scratch.
  • Integrations with other services, like payments, email or Discord.

Simple, medium and complex websites

A simple website is one or a few pages that say who you are and what you do, with a contact form. A medium one adds several sections, a blog or several languages. A complex one is almost an application: accounts, payments, content that changes per user and a dashboard to manage it. Zeanium, with paid plans, games and 37 languages, is an example of a complex website.

The more features, the more work and the higher the price.

Costs that are not development

Besides development, a website has costs of its own: the domain (the address, paid every year), hosting (where the website lives) and, if you take payments on it, the payment processor’s fee. Some simple websites can be hosted for free; those with accounts or databases usually need a paid service.

Four questions before accepting a website quote: fixed price, domain and hosting, rounds of changes and who can edit it.

What my websites cost

My custom websites start at $1000 as a one-time payment, for landing pages, portfolios or more complex sites. Platforms with accounts, payments or several languages are quoted by project. In the quote calculator you can see right away which option fits what you need.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a simple website cost?

It depends on the design and the content. My custom websites start at $1000; a simple one stays close to that starting price.

Does the price include the domain and hosting?

They are separate costs, because they are paid to those services. I help you pick them and leave everything set up.

How long does a website take?

It depends on the scope. The timing is agreed per project, together with the price, before work starts.

Can I see a website you built?

Yes: Zeanium (zeanium.net), a platform to learn chemistry with accounts, paid plans and 37 languages. It is explained on the cases page.
