Our simple local business websites start from $499, with most straightforward builds landing somewhere between $499 and $999depending on what's actually needed. Here's what drives that number up or down.
What affects the price
- Number of pages. A single-page site is quicker to build than a full multi-page site with separate services, about and contact pages.
- Design complexity. A clean, simple layout is faster to build than a highly custom design with a lot of unique page layouts.
- Features. Contact forms, Google Maps embeds and business listing details are usually straightforward. More involved functionality adds time.
- How ready your content is.If you've already got your text and photos sorted, the build goes faster than if that all needs to be pulled together from scratch.
How that compares to an agency build
Website costs from larger agencies can vary enormously, but it's common for a custom build to start well into four figures once design, development and project management are all factored in. Our aim is a simple, fast website without that overhead — which is also why we keep the scope simple rather than trying to be everything to everyone.
What's not included in a simple build
To keep things straightforward and the price down, our standard websites don't include things like online stores or booking systems. If your business genuinely needs that kind of functionality, it's worth discussing upfront so it can be scoped and quoted properly rather than assumed.
Costs to budget for either way
Regardless of who builds your site, you'll generally need to budget separately for a domain name and hosting, both of which are ongoing costs charged by your domain registrar or hosting provider rather than a one-off build fee. We can help get these set up as part of the build.
