What actually determines website cost
A website's price is driven by scope, not page count alone. A five-page brochure site and a five-page site with online booking, a payment gateway and custom design are worlds apart. The real cost drivers are customisation, functionality, content and the level of strategy behind it.
The cheapest way to get a website is a DIY template; the most expensive is a fully bespoke build. Most businesses sit in between: a professionally designed, conversion-focused site that looks custom without a custom-build budget.
Types of builds and where the money goes
Template-based sites are fastest and most affordable - good for getting online quickly. Semi-custom sites layer your branding, custom sections and conversion elements onto a solid foundation - the sweet spot for most businesses. Fully custom sites are designed and coded from scratch - worth it for complex needs or strong brand differentiation. E-commerce adds product catalogues, payments, shipping and tax, which increases scope.
Content is the hidden cost people forget. Copywriting, photography and product uploads take real work; a beautiful shell with weak content will not convert.

Ongoing costs to plan for
Beyond the build: hosting, domain, SSL, maintenance, backups, security and periodic updates. A neglected website slows down, breaks and becomes a security risk. A small monthly maintenance plan protects the investment you made in the build.
Factor these in from day one so the launch price is not a surprise followed by a second surprise.
