How much does a website cost?
This may be the most asked question within the web industry, so let’s explore… In this article, we'll shed some light onto our experience.
So, how much does a website cost? Well, that depends on a range of factors. You could think of it as saying, ‘how much does a house cost?’ or ‘how much does a vehicle cost? The defining ingredient in all these items really is the scope, or in other words, what is included and what level of the quality is the final product built to.
So, the logical next question is, what is the scope of a website? Well, that depends on how large the website is and to what level of quality it is created. Homes range from units to mansions, cars range from small hatchbacks to quad-turbo W16 hyper-cars, and websites range from single-page online presences to those with over 100 pages, exhibiting varying levels of detail in their design, content, functionality, interactivity, and development optimisation.
For mainstream productions (where providers typically lean on customising a third-party template), a small website may hover within ~$5,000 while medium to large sites will typically range within ~$10,000 - $50,000+ depending on the scope.
For high-end productions (unique design per website section/page along with high levels of interactivity, animation, functionality and device optimisation), a small website may hover within ~$30,000 and medium to large sites will typically range within ~$60,000 - $250,000+ depending on the scope.
