The overall cost of a website varies depending on its complexity and size. Our expert talks about the range based on his experience and some additional necessities your website may need for maintenance and future proofing.
How Much Does a Website Cost?
Well, that can go anywhere from $500 if you are just buying a template and you went on Fiverr, or they bought you the template, and it comes out really cheap. But a real website would start at least $2,000, and then it can go all the way up to a million dollars.
Growing vs. Upfront Built Website
It could be a 500-page website; it could be a 10,000-page website. It depends on whether it is something you want upfront, built, and ready, or it is something you put out there and grow it slowly.
Small E-commerce Website
So, let us say if you have a small e-commerce website with 50 products, then it can range anywhere from $4,000 to $5,000 to $20,000, depending on the complexity.
Answer Some Questions
So, do you need specific scheduling? Is it localized, or is it global? Do you need to print the shipping labels? It can get very expensive.
And then if it is just a small website for a local mom-and-pop shop, it can probably be $3,000.
Extra Payments
But again, there are always going to be extra payments that will come with the website, anywhere from backups, hosting, domain, and plugins on the website.
If you are using BigCommerce, for example, they charge a monthly fee. WooCommerce does not, but then the plugins cost you money. So, websites can differ; usually, e-commerce websites are much more expensive.
