How much does a small business website cost?
Last updated November 13, 2026 · QuilcoA professional website for a small business typically costs $5,000 to $15,000 up front from a web agency, or $500 to $5,000 from a freelance designer, plus $50 to $1,000 a month to host and maintain it. Changes after launch are often billed by the hour.
What you pay for up front
The up-front price covers design, writing the pages, setting up forms and making it work on phones. Agencies charge more for custom design, more pages, online stores and booking.
The monthly costs people forget
Hosting, security updates, backups and small edits keep costing after launch. A freelancer might charge $50 to $150 a month to look after the site; an agency $100 to $1,000. Every new photo, price change or service often means waiting on someone and paying for their time.
| Option | Up front | Monthly | Changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web agency | $5,000–$15,000 | $100–$1,000 | Billed or scheduled |
| Freelance designer | $500–$5,000 | $50–$150 | You wait on them |
| Quilco | Nothing up front | Included in $410/mo with all five products | Ask and it's done |
What a small business site actually needs
A clear line saying what you do and where, tap-to-call and a quote or booking form at the top, your real work photos and reviews, your services and towns, and fast loading on phones. Most of the price difference between sites is design polish, not these basics.
How Quilco builds websites
Quilco builds the site from your business details and real photos, using layouts top sites in your industry use, and hosts it. You change anything by telling Quilco what you want. It also writes guide pages and blog posts that help you get found on Google, and a chat on the site answers visitors and books them. If you already have a website, Quilco can copy it onto a new address.
Common questions
Can I use my own web address?
Yes. You can buy a new web address in Quilco's Website tab and your site goes live on it.
Can Quilco work with my Shopify store?
Yes. If your website runs on Shopify, Quilco edits your products, collections and pages inside Quilco instead of building a new site.
How long does it take?
Quilco makes a first version in minutes. You then change anything by asking, and publish when you're happy.
