How Much Does a Custom Website Cost in 2026?

A transparent breakdown of custom website pricing: what drives cost, typical price ranges by project type, and how to budget for a site that delivers ROI.

Typical price ranges

A small, custom-designed business website commonly ranges from about $1,500 to $5,000. Lead-generation sites with a CMS, integrations and content strategy often land between $3,500 and $10,000. E-commerce stores and web applications vary widely based on features.

What drives the cost

The biggest factors are the number of unique page templates, custom functionality (booking, payments, portals), content creation, integrations with other tools, and the depth of SEO and strategy work.

Hidden costs to watch for

Ask about hosting, domain renewals, maintenance, licensing for premium plugins or fonts, and who owns the code. With MGCAO, you own your site outright.

Think in ROI, not price

If a better website brings in even a handful of extra customers each month, it typically pays for itself quickly. The right question is: how much revenue is your current site leaving on the table?
