Website Cost Calculator for Small Business

What this tool does

This calculator gives small-business owners a rough website budget before they waste a week comparing builders, freelancers, and custom-build fantasies that were never in budget anyway.

How to use it

• Pages: count the real pages you need, not the “maybe later” ones.
• Complexity (1-5): use a higher number if you need memberships, bookings, integrations, or custom UX.
• Ecommerce? 1=yes 0=no: switch it on only if you actually need checkout.
• Monthly Maintenance ($): include updates, plugin renewals, and light support.

Why it matters

A lot of website decisions are really budget decisions in disguise. If you know the likely cost range first, you can choose the right path faster and avoid buying the wrong platform for the wrong problem.

How to use the result

Run it for a lean builder setup, then for a more custom setup. The gap will usually tell you whether you need Wix, WordPress, Shopify, or a developer, and it does that without the usual spreadsheet melodrama.
