Real 2026 pricing by scope tier. What you actually get at each price point.
The honest numbers.
Websites range from $500 (WordPress theme + minor tweaks) to $50,000+ (multi-language content platform with custom CMS). Here are the honest numbers by tier — including what the cheap options actually cost you over 3 years.

What actually moves the price.
Custom design adds $2,000–$8,000 but is what makes your site not look like every competitor.
Home, about, services, contact are usually included. Practice areas, case studies, team pages, blog templates each add scope.
A simple blog CMS is included. Multi-role publishing workflows add $2,000–$6,000.
Full bilingual (EN + ES) adds ~30% to scope. Third+ language often adds another 15–20% each.
Copywriting is often quoted separately ($1,000–$5,000). Bring your own writer to save cost.
What most quotes leave out.
- Domain registration ($12–$25/year)
- Hosting ($10–$150/month depending on plan and traffic)
- SSL certificate (free with modern hosts, don't pay separately)
- Stock photography if not custom (Unsplash is free, Getty is $$$)
- Custom photography or video ($1,000–$10,000 if needed)
- Ongoing SEO retainer if you want rankings ($1,500–$5,000/month)
