Your website is often the first impression potential customers have of your business. It’s more than just an online brochure; it’s a powerful tool that can drive leads, build brand authority, and ultimately, grow your bottom line. I specialize in creating highly functional websites that not only look great but are also strategically designed to achieve your specific business goals. But you’re probably eager to know how much it’s going to cost…
The rough answer is that every website has different requirements and so every website will cost something different. I created the 2025 Guide to Website Development for a more nuanced answer on pricing. As a general estimate, you can expect to spend anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars for the initial setup and development of a typical business website. There may be ongoing website maintenance costs including annual web hosting & domain name renewals so be sure to include those items in your overall cost-of-ownership calculus.

When ready to commit to a website development project
To make the design and development process as smooth as possible, have the following in mind:
Purpose: What is the main goal or purpose of the website? Is it to sell products, provide information, or something else? This will help guide the design and content of the website.
Audience: Who is the website for? Understanding the target audience for the website can help inform the design, language, and content of the site.
Content: What content will be included on the website? It’s important to plan out the content of the website in advance so that it can be organized and structured effectively.
Design: Templates are purposefully general purpose, quick to develop and modify, and there is one for everybody and everything. But do you have specific requirements for how your website should look? Consider the overall aesthetic and layout of the site, as well as any specific design elements that should be included.
Functionality: What features or functionality should the website have? This could include things like contact forms, e-commerce functionality, or a blog.
Domain name and hosting: Choose a domain name and hosting provider for the website. It’s important to choose a domain name that is easy to remember and relevant to the website’s content.
Website Maintenance: Include website maintenance as part of cost of ownership! Consider how it will be maintained and updated over time. Will you be responsible for maintaining the website yourself, or will you hire someone else to do it?

Once your new website is live
Once a website is up and running, there are a few key things to consider:
- Security: It’s important to keep the website and any sensitive information it handles secure. This may include installing security software, using SSL certificates, and regularly updating software and plugins to fix any vulnerabilities.
- Performance: A slow-loading website can be frustrating for users, so it’s important to optimize the website’s performance. This may involve optimizing images, minifying code, and using a content delivery network (CDN). Ideally, Google PageSpeed Insights could return results that look like this and this. But note, those scores were obtained under ideal circumstances with a very lightly coded website, and no extra extra gamifications on the test page. In reality PageSpeed will often return results ranging between 50-89. That means there is room for website improvements, but is still considered a ‘good’ score.
- SEO: Search engine optimization (SEO) can help improve the visibility of a website in search engine results pages. This may include optimizing the website’s content, using relevant keywords, and building backlinks.
- Analytics: Using analytics tools can help website owners track the performance of their website and understand how users are interacting with it. This can help inform future updates and improvements.
- Website maintenance is ongoing and includes tasks such as keeping the website up to date, backing up data, and fixing any issues that arise.
By keeping these things in mind, website owners can ensure that their website is running smoothly and effectively.
