How much does a business website cost?

Quick Answer

A business website typically starts from $5,500 for design and build, with SEO from $950 per month or maintenance-only from $150 per month. Final investment depends on scope, complexity, and the number of pages required.

Website pricing varies because every business has different needs. A 5-page site for a financial adviser with basic SEO foundations sits at the lower end. A 12-page site for a consultancy with multiple service pages and conversion path engineering sits at the higher end.

The design and build phase is a one-time investment covering strategy, a positioning workshop, custom WordPress design, technical SEO implementation, content integration, and launch support. This typically takes 6-8 weeks, and can be paid as a single payment or split across instalments.

Growing a website further is separate, ongoing work. SEO, priced from $950 per month and sold in 3-month sprints with no lock-in, covers strategic page builds, SEO content deployment, on-page refinement, and rank tracking. If you already have a site and just need it kept secure and running, maintenance-only starts from $150 per month.

The most common mistake businesses make is treating their website as a one-off project. A site built for $3,000 with no SEO foundations or ongoing support becomes outdated within 12 months and costs more to fix than it would have cost to build properly.

Pricing should reflect the value of the asset you’re building, not just the hours spent building it.
