How this estimate is built

Every line in the ledger maps to a real cost driver agencies actually quote on: base build complexity, design customization, number of pages/products, third‑party integrations, and ongoing hosting/maintenance. Nothing here is a flat guess — it's additive, like a real invoice.

Why prices vary by region

A freelancer, a boutique studio, and an enterprise agency price the same scope very differently because of overhead, support depth, and local market rates. Use the region selector to see how that shifts your number.

What this estimate doesn't include

Domain registration, premium stock photography/video licensing, paid ad spend, and any third‑party SaaS subscription fees (e.g. email marketing tools) are billed separately by their providers.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an exact quote?

No — it's a market-rate estimate based on typical project scopes in 2026. Use it to sanity‑check freelancer/agency quotes and to scope your own budget before you start conversations. Final pricing depends on the specific developer, your content readiness, and revisions during the project.

Why is there a range instead of one number?

Every project has unknowns — content delays, scope creep, third‑party API quirks. The range reflects realistic best‑case and worst‑case execution of the exact scope you selected, not a different scope.

Does this include the WordPress software cost?

WordPress itself is free and open-source. The cost here covers the build labor, premium plugins/themes where relevant, hosting, and ongoing maintenance — not WordPress core.

What's the difference between hosting cost and build cost?

Build cost is a one-time payment for designing and developing the site. Hosting is a recurring yearly cost to keep the site live on a server. Maintenance is a recurring monthly retainer for updates, backups, and support after launch.

Can I save or share this estimate?

Yes — use "Export estimate as PDF" to print or save a PDF copy with every line item, or "Email this quote" to open a pre-filled email with the full breakdown to send to yourself, a client, or a developer.
