How Much Does a Website Cost?

Website Pricing for Small Businesses

One of the first questions we hear is, "How much does a website cost?"

The honest answer is: it depends. A simple informational website for a local business is a very different project than a large website with dozens of pages, advanced functionality, or custom integrations.

That said, we believe pricing shouldn't be a mystery. Before you invest your time in a discovery call, you deserve a realistic idea of what to expect.

What Does a Typical Website Cost?

At Cape Cod Web Design, most custom website projects fall between $2,500 and $6,500, with smaller brochure-style websites starting around $2,000. Larger projects with advanced functionality, custom integrations, or extensive content typically exceed $7,000.

Every project is quoted at a fixed price, so you'll know exactly what your investment will be before any work begins.

What's Included?

Every website project includes:

  • A fully custom website

  • Mobile-friendly responsive design

  • Basic on-page SEO best practices

  • Contact forms and lead generation setup

  • A fixed-price proposal with no surprise costs

Additional services such as ongoing SEO, website management, copywriting, branding, photography, or advanced integrations can also be added when needed.

FAQs

Do you charge by the hour?

1

No. New website projects are quoted at a fixed price based on the scope of work. Hourly billing is only used for one-time support or updates to existing websites.

Do I need to pay everything upfront?

2

No. Website projects are split into three payments: one-third to begin, one-third after the first draft is complete, and the final payment before launch.

How long does a website take?

3

Most websites are completed within 2–6 weeks, depending on the size of the project and how quickly content and feedback are provided. In many cases, we're able to deliver a first draft within one week of receiving your down payment and project materials.

Can you redesign my existing website?

4

Absolutely. Many of our projects involve redesigning outdated websites while preserving existing content, improving SEO, and creating a more modern user experience.
