How Much Does a New Website Cost?
You are not the only one wondering... "What is the cost to develop a website?" In fact, it happens to be a widely searched question in Google Search (per Google Ad Words). Well as a professional web designer, and owner of a web development company with locations in both Chicago and Las Vegas, I feel I am experienced enough to offer an answer to this question.
The price of building a new website in 2024 certainly varies depending on the desired functionality and objectives of your website design project.
While our company does offer various entry level packages for custom website design and development which range from $1,500.00 to $5,000.00, the average cost for a custom-built website with basic features and around 30 SEO optimized pages is generally around $5,000 to $10,000.00. Of course, this price can increase significantly if you require advanced features such as e-commerce capabilities, search engine optimization or complex design elements. In that regard, some complex e-commerce websites and/or website development projects that include content creation with the intent to conquer organic search engines result pages (SERP's) may range from $10,000 to $50,000.00
