Most small business websites cost under $10,000 to build, and a basic agency site runs $6,500 to $15,000. Building it yourself on Wix costs $17 to $159 a month. Then come the monthly costs: care, your Google profile and search work.
Below is who charges what, with a source for every figure, what pushes the price up, what you pay every month after launch, and what to ask before you sign. We build websites for $297 a month€270 + VAT a month, and this page is useful even if you hire someone else.
US prices from Clutch’s pricing guide, a WebFX survey and Wix’s own plan page, read on October 27, 2026. WebFX sells web design itself, so treat its figures as a range. The number after each figure points to its source at the bottom of the page.
Two quotes rarely differ because of the code. The hours go into the items below.
Each kind of job you want more of needs its own page, because Google ranks pages for searches. If you write the copy, the price is lower and the work is yours.
A template gets you live faster. Custom design adds hours, and hours are what an agency bills at $100 to $149 each.
Online booking, a quote form or card payments each add work. Ask for them as line items so you can compare quotes.
Some quotes include pages written for local searches; most bill it as a monthly retainer later.
If there is one, every old address needs to point at its new page, or links from Google and your customers break.
A quote shows the build. The pieces that keep the phone ringing are sold by the month, each on its own. At the low end of each range they come to about $750 a month, before anyone builds you a site.
With us it is $297 a month€270 + VAT a month for the site and all of this, with no setup fee.
What the profile work involves, and how to do it yourself, is in our Google Business Profile guide.
Two quotes compare only when they cover the same things. Any web designer should be able to answer these, us included.

The old home page was a builder template: a stock photo, a cookie banner over the first screen, and no word about paint or interiors. The new one says what the shop does, shows its own airplane and puts the call button on the first screen.
The old site was on Wix, with a row of stats under the headline and a chat button in the corner. The new first screen shows a part from the shop’s own booth, lists the finishes it comes in and puts 4.9 from 80 Google reviews where a customer sees it first.
Before we touch anything, we take your current site apart: the searches it misses and how fast it loads on a phone. The aircraft paint shop’s old site showed up for none of the 35 searches people around Los Angeles make for its work, 7,980 a month. After launch, a report lands on the first of every month.
Most small business sites cost under $10,000 to build, according to Clutch’s pricing guide, and WebFX puts a basic agency site at $6,500 to $15,000. Doing it yourself on Wix costs $17 to $159 a month. After launch, care, hosting and search work are usually monthly.
A care plan runs $89 to $359 a month at WP Buffs. Google Business Profile management is $125 to $400 a month, and local search work most often $500 to $1,000. At the low end of each, that is about $700 a month before the build.
In dollars, yes. You do the writing, the photos, the Google profile and the search settings yourself, and the site lives on the builder’s plan for as long as you pay for it.
The work that brings calls in happens after launch: the profile, the searches, the changes and the report. A monthly price keeps us doing it. After the first 3 months the plan runs month to month, and your domain stays in your name.
With us, you get a review link 7 days after the kickoff call. The clock starts once we have access to your domain and your Google profile, and the site goes live the day you approve it.
