Small Business Website Build Cost Calculator

What this tool does

This calculator estimates small business website build cost from page count, per-page cost, complexity, and setup work. It is useful before comparing DIY builders, freelancers, agencies, or the mysterious cousin who “knows websites.”

How to use it

• Enter the number of pages in the first version.
• Add a realistic cost per page.
• Use the complexity score for bookings, ecommerce, custom forms, or heavier design work.
• Add setup costs for domain, theme, plugins, or launch help.

Why it matters

Website costs drift when scope is vague. A small business site with five brochure pages is not the same project as a booking site with integrations and copywriting.

How to use the result

Use the estimate to compare builder plans, freelancer quotes, and agency proposals against the same scope. If a quote is far lower, check what is missing.

Recommended next step

Compare the estimate with your website builder shortlist before choosing a platform.
