The honest answer is: it depends on what the website has to do. But "it depends" is a useless answer, so here are real numbers.

Informative website β€” β‚Ή15,000 to β‚Ή30,000

Five to twelve pages, a blog, an enquiry form and an admin panel. This suits service businesses, consultants, clinics and small brands. At this budget you should still get mobile responsiveness, on-page SEO and a year of support. If a quote at this level does not include an admin panel, ask why.

eCommerce store β€” β‚Ή25,000 to β‚Ή55,000

Product catalogue, filters, cart, payment gateway, shipping rules and an order dashboard. The variable is catalogue complexity: 30 simple products is a very different build from 3,000 products with variants and warehouse sync.

Custom platform or app β€” β‚Ή50,000 upwards

Marketplaces, booking systems, SaaS dashboards, delivery apps. Price scales with business logic, not page count.

What actually moves the price

Number of unique page designs. Number of user roles. Payment and third-party integrations. Content β€” if we write it, that is time. And revisions, which is why we lock scope in writing before starting.

Where not to save money

Hosting, SSL, and support. A β‚Ή40,000 website on β‚Ή99/month hosting will feel like a β‚Ή8,000 website to your customer.
