How much does a small business website cost?

A small business website usually falls into one of three bands. A DIY site builder runs roughly $20 to $50 a month in platform fees. A freelancer build is roughly $1,500 to $5,000 one-off. An agency build is roughly $5,000 to $25,000 one-off. Those are market ranges, not quotes. The spread comes down to scope: how many pages, who writes the content, and how much is built from scratch rather than assembled from a template.

At Web Blend, a single landing page is $1,070 and a full multi-page conversion website starts at $1,997, with hosting and care included. Whatever you are quoted, ask for one fixed number before work starts, and confirm what it covers: design, content, hosting, and changes after launch. A cheap quote that excludes those usually costs more in the end.
