How much does a website cost in 2026? A clear pricing guide

Guides3 min readPublished 9 October 2026

What you actually pay for when you hire a studio, our starting prices, and the ongoing costs to budget for.

"How much does a website cost?" has no single answer, because a website can be anything from a five-page brochure to a full booking platform. This guide explains our starting prices, what pushes a project up or down, and what to budget for after launch.

What makes a website cost more?

  • Custom design versus a template. A design made around your brand takes more time than adapting an existing layout.
  • Number of pages. Each service, location or product page needs its own structure and content.
  • Functionality. Bookings, online stores, member areas, custom filters, payment gateways and API integrations all add development time.
  • Content. Writing copy, sourcing images and producing case studies is real work if you do not have them ready.
  • Branding. A new logo and identity system is usually a separate project.
  • SEO set-up. Keyword research, page structure and technical set-up take time but pay back in visibility.

What ongoing costs should you budget for?

  • Domain name: a small yearly fee.
  • Website plan or hosting: a monthly or yearly fee to your platform or host; check the current price on the provider's website.
  • Apps and plugins: some features, such as advanced booking or forms, have their own subscription.
  • Maintenance: updates, backups and small changes, so the site keeps working as your business changes.
  • Content and SEO: new articles and page improvements keep the site growing after launch.

Is a cheap website a false economy?

Not always. A simple, well-made template site is the right starting point for many new businesses. It becomes a false economy when it cannot be updated, loads slowly, looks generic next to competitors, or has to be rebuilt within a year. Ask what is included, who owns the site and what happens after launch before comparing prices.

How do you get an accurate quote?

  1. Write down the main goal of the site: enquiries, bookings, sales or credibility.
  2. List the pages you need and any features such as bookings or a store.
  3. Share two or three websites you like, and why.
  4. Decide whether you need copywriting, branding or SEO.
  5. Give your ideal launch date.
