How Much Does Building a Website Cost? 

Wondering how much it would take to hire someone to design a site? The cost of building a website varies widely based on your needs and who you partner with. Let’s dive into the pricing categories, giving you a clearer picture.

Step 1. Planning

First of all, you have to gather your ideas and plan how your products should look like on your website. As clearer your ideas are, as easier the process of your website building will be. Write down all the information you need to present on it, the images that it should include, the sections you would like it to have, etc. That is, create a structure draft.

Exploring the Range of Prices

1. Free – The Enthusiast’s Path Believe it or not, you can actually get a website for free. This route involves two options: a DIY approach using platforms like Wix, where you can create a basic website with some effort and time, or finding a web design enthusiast willing to create a site for free. This latter option is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack, but it's possible – there are talented individuals out there looking to build their portfolios or simply enjoying the creative process. And if a website seems too daunting, consider starting with a social media account – often a great free alternative.

Under $500 – The Budget-Conscious Choice

For those with a small budget, look for beginners in web design seeking experience and references. This could be a freelancer, a student, or someone early in their career. They can offer reasonable rates while building their portfolios. They’ll likely assist you in domain selection and basic site setup. The end result? It’s a bit of a lottery – from “I wish I hadn’t” to “Wow, that’s amazing!” So, tread carefully in this budget zone.

$500 to $10k – The Professional Range

In this price bracket, you can expect a significant jump in quality. Professionals and agencies fall into this category, offering a blend of expertise, reliability, and more sophisticated design options. The cost will depend on various factors like the number of pages, the complexity of design, and custom functionalities. Not sure where to start? Agencies like One Name Studio are known for delivering quality results within this range.

Over $10k – The Luxury of Customization

This is where custom, high-end website design comes into play. Ideal for those requiring a unique, top-notch online presence, this option involves comprehensive planning and execution. You’re paying for a bespoke digital space, tailored to every aspect of your brand, often with consultants who spare no detail (yes, even down to wearing suits!). This is about more than a website; it's about crafting a digital identity that sets you apart. Does it sound like your cup of tea?  Let's schedule a call and discuss your business needs.
