Real Prices, No Runaround"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>You request three quotes and receive prices of $400, $2,500, and $12,000. Every proposal says \"professional website.\" I will explain what is behind each number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Prices Vary So Much<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because \"website\" describes very different things. It is like asking how much a vehicle costs: it depends on whether you need a bicycle or a cargo truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Real Price Ranges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">$300\u2013$800 \u00b7 Customized Template<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone buys a template and adds your logo and copy. It works if you simply need an online presence so people can find you by name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What it does not include:<\/strong> strategy, sales-focused copy, real SEO, or support after delivery. And it usually looks like a thousand other websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">$1,500\u2013$4,000 \u00b7 Custom Website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Custom design, copy written for your customer, a structure built to generate inquiries, technical SEO, and speed. At this level, the work is not simply \"building the site\"; it is deciding what to say and in what order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the range for most businesses that want their website to bring them customers instead of merely existing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">$4,000\u2013$15,000 \u00b7 Online Store or Platform<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ecommerce with inventory, payments, user accounts, or custom features that do not come out of the box. At this level, you are paying for development, not just design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Costs That Show Up Later<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These items are almost never included in the initial quote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hosting:<\/strong> $60 to $300 per year. Cheap hosting tends to go down right when visitors show up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Domain:<\/strong> $12 to $20 per year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintenance:<\/strong> WordPress and its plugins are updated constantly. Without maintenance, sooner or later something breaks or the site gets hacked.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Changes:<\/strong> How much does it cost to change a price or add a service? Ask <em>before<\/em> you sign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I have seen businesses pay $3,000 for a website and abandon it eight months later because nobody told them it needed maintenance. That website no longer exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One-Time Payment or Subscription<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One-time payment:<\/strong> you pay more up front and the website is yours, but you are responsible for maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Monthly subscription:<\/strong> you start with a smaller payment, and it includes hosting, domain, security, and updates. You pay for as long as you use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neither is inherently better. If you have the capital and someone to maintain the site, a one-time payment costs less in the long run. If you would rather not worry about it and want someone available when something fails, a subscription makes sense. I offer monthly plans <a href=\"\/en\/website-plan\/\">starting at $99<\/a> for that very reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three Questions to Ask Before Hiring Anyone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Who Owns the Domain and Hosting?<\/strong> If they are registered in the provider's name, you are locked in. They should be in your name.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What Happens If I Want to Leave?<\/strong> You should be able to take your website with you. If the answer is unclear, that is a red flag.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Who Writes the Copy?<\/strong> If they expect you to provide it and you did not know that, the project can stall there for months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Right Question<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The question is not \"How much does it cost?\" but \"How much does it need to earn back?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your average customer is worth $800 and the website brings you two a month, it pays for itself in weeks. If each customer is worth $50 and you sell at volume, the math is different. Run that calculation with your own numbers before comparing quotes.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Want to Know Whether This Applies to Your Business?<\/strong> Let's talk for 30 minutes, free of charge.
