Pick who builds it and what it is, and get the honest range — the same numbers from our website cost guide, matrixed. No email gate, nothing stored, and no pretending a quote can come out of four dropdowns: this gives you the band, so a real quote can't surprise you.
Add-ons
What moves the number more than anything on this form: whether the site is structured around what your customers actually search — a pretty site that answers no real question earns nothing, at any price. That structure question is the difference between a cost and an investment.
Ranges, not quotes — typical of what small businesses actually pay; your market and scope can land outside them. The full reasoning: how much does a website cost? Everything runs in your browser; nothing you enter is sent or stored anywhere.
Typical ranges: DIY platforms $0–$50 a month plus your hours; a freelancer or small studio from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars; agencies from several thousand to $50,000+. What you're buying at each tier is structure — whether the site answers what customers actually search.
Because page count, copywriting, bilingual versions, booking systems, and — above all — whether the site is built to rank move the price more than the label 'freelancer' or 'agency' does. The calculator's add-ons show exactly how each choice moves the band.
No — it's a small script running entirely in your browser. Nothing you select is transmitted or stored. It exists so you walk into any quote conversation already knowing the honest band.
A cheap site that answers real questions beats an expensive one that doesn't. The trap isn't the price — it's paying any amount for a site with no structure for search. Ask every builder how the site will rank for what customers type; the silence is informative.
