What a website design project costs
Most website design projects cost between about $3,000 and $400,000 or more. Small business sites start around $3,000, startup studios around $5,000 to $50,000, and sites for larger companies around $95,000.
The price depends mostly on how many pages and sites are involved, what the site needs to connect to and how much content needs writing.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to hire a website design agency?
It ranges from a few thousand dollars to several hundred thousand. Small business firms on this site publish builds starting around $3,000, while Isadora Agency’s published range for website and product design runs from $95K to above $401K. Most of the large agencies in the top 10 don’t post prices at all and quote once scoping is done, which means two quotes are only comparable when they cover the same integrations, content and post-launch support.
How long does a website redesign usually take?
There isn’t a standard answer, and none of the 10 agencies above publishes a typical schedule. Length grows with the number of sites being combined, the systems the site connects to and the volume of content that needs rewriting. At the far end, VML describes a two-year program that moved 46 online stores, with content in 36 languages, onto a new platform. A small site built from a theme can launch within weeks.
How should a company decide between a global agency and a smaller one?
Scope is the better guide than size. VML lists 26,000 people and Cognizant 356,700, and firms of that scale often sell the website as one part of a larger media, data or IT contract. Isadora Agency has 11 to 50 people and prices website design as its own project. A company buying a website by itself can compare proposals directly; when one’s already tied to a large services contract, it’s often simpler to add the website there.
Should a company rebrand and redesign its website at the same time?
Doing both at once means the new identity is built into the site from the first wireframe, instead of being patched on later. Several agencies on this site plan the two together: Monks ties website relaunches to brand campaigns and content production, and DEPT runs brand, media and website work under one roof. The trade-off is a longer, larger project, so a company with a settled brand rarely needs to reopen it for a redesign.
Does a website design agency keep working on the site after launch?
Some do, and it’s usually a separate monthly line rather than part of the build fee. Pronto Marketing, on the small business list, lists monthly WordPress support at $99, $299 or $799. At the other end, Cognizant’s financial services work includes ongoing platform updates and maintenance across a bank’s country sites. Proposals tend to be clearer when support, hosting and ongoing SEO are priced apart from the launch.
