How much does a website cost in 2026? What drives the price

“How much does a website cost?” is the first question we get, and it’s a fair one. The honest answer is that it depends on what the website needs to do for your business. At Sivelto we build every website to order, so we don’t work with packages or fixed prices. Below we show you what drives the cost, so you know what to look at when you compare offers.

Why there is no fixed price

A presentation site for a car service and a platform with accounts and online payments are two very different things, even though both are called “a website”. A fixed price would mean either paying for things you don’t need, or getting a site that doesn’t do what you need.

That’s why we always start with a short talk: we learn what your business sells and where it loses clients, then propose exactly what makes sense. Only then can you get a price that actually means something.

What drives the price of a website

The number and type of pages

A homepage, a few service pages, a portfolio, a blog, a contact page. Each page has its own structure, copy and design. The more types of pages a site has, the more work it takes.

The design

A design made for your brand, not taken from a template, takes more work up front. In return, it looks like your business, not like dozens of other companies that bought the same template, and it helps you stand out.

The content

The copy, the photos and the visuals. If you already have them, everything moves faster. If they need writing, choosing or adapting, they count too.

The features

Contact forms, online bookings, more languages, client accounts. Every feature means time to build and, just as important, time to test.

Automations and integrations

A form that only sends an email is simple. A form that replies to the client instantly, saves the request and sends you an alert is more complex, but it works for you day and night. See what an automation can do once someone leaves their details.

Speed and technical SEO

A fast site, structured correctly for Google and flawless on mobile, doesn’t happen by itself. It’s built in from the start, not added at the end. A slow site, or one that’s hard to read on a phone, loses visitors before they learn what you offer.

How to prepare a quote request

The more we know from the start, the more precise the proposal will be. You don’t need every answer, but it helps to think about:

• What you want the site to achieve: quote requests, bookings, sales or simply more trust.
• Who your clients are and what they look for when they land on the site.
• Which pages you think you need. It doesn’t have to be the final list; we build it together.
• A few websites you like and what exactly you like about them.
• What content you already have: copy, photos, logo.
• When you’d like it ready.

What to check in an offer

When you compare offers, don’t look only at the amount. Look at what you get:

• What exactly is included: pages, features, content, testing.
• Whether you see the structure and design before building starts.
• Whether the site is tested on phone, tablet and desktop.
• How form requests reach you, and how fast.
• What happens after launch.

A low price can hide a slow template that looks like all the others and brings no clients. A high price guarantees nothing if the offer doesn’t say clearly what you get.
