What does a website cost?

What the cost depends on

• Scope: a company site, a store, or a rebuild of an existing one.
• Content: whether you have it or it is created with me.
• The number of unique page layouts — not the page count itself.
• Features: forms, bookings, payments, integrations with your systems.
• Language versions, where needed.
• Migration and redirects, if the site exists and has Google positions.

How we get to a real figure

We start with a short conversation — twenty minutes is usually enough for me to understand what should exist and why. Then you get a written scope: what is included, what is not, in what stages and on what timeline. The figure comes underneath that.

The quote is fixed for the agreed scope. If something outside it comes up, we talk about it rather than quietly adding it to the invoice.

The costs that continue

Beyond the build there is running it: domain, hosting, certificate, backups, updates and small changes. I raise those at quoting time rather than after launch — it is part of the real cost of owning a site, and the usual place where cheap offers stop being cheap.

What you always get

Domain and hosting registered to you or your company, full access, and code you can take with you. I do not build dependency where nothing works without me.
