How much does a
custom website cost?

Three tiers, three price bands

Most custom web projects fit one of three scopes. These are indicative ranges — your signed statement of work lists exact fees.

• Launch — $950–$2,500: one responsive landing page. Design, deploy, analytics, SEO baseline. 3–7 days.
• Site — $3,800–$12,000: 5–12 page marketing site with CMS, forms, performance pass. 2–4 weeks.
• App — $18,000–$55,000: auth, database, admin, APIs, integrations. 4–8 weeks.

What drives cost up or down

• Page count and content readiness — copy and assets supplied vs. written from scratch
• CMS complexity — simple editable fields vs. multi-role publishing workflows
• Integrations — CRM, billing, Stripe, HubSpot, custom APIs add scoped sprints
• Auth and roles — moving from Site to App tier when you need logins and databases
• Design fidelity — custom art direction vs. adapting a proven layout system

Costs people forget

Domain, hosting, email, third-party SaaS (CMS plugins, Supabase, analytics), and ongoing care retainers ($500–$2,000/mo) are separate unless stated in your SOW. We quote these upfront when they're in scope.
