How Much Does a Small Business Website Cost?
Understand the factors that shape small-business website cost, from page count and content to forms, integrations and ongoing care.
Start with a defined scope
IronGate packages start at $499 for a focused one-page site, $999 for up to five core pages, and $1,799 for up to ten pages with a deeper content structure. These are starting prices for different amounts of work, not interchangeable quotes for the same website.
Why two five-page websites can cost different amounts
Five pages built from reusable sections need different effort from five pages with unique layouts, a booking connection and a content migration. Count the page types, forms and integrations as well as the URLs. Identify who supplies the copy and images before comparing proposals.
Separate launch costs from ongoing costs
List design and development separately from domain renewals, hosting, software subscriptions and ongoing support. IronGate website care and hosting starts at $79 per month; the included resources and support are confirmed in the proposal. An optional recurring service is not automatically included with a build.
Compare quotes using the same questions
- Which pages and unique layouts are included?
- Who writes and approves the content?
- Are migration and redirects included?
- What third-party fees continue after launch?
- What work counts as an addition to the agreed scope?
Get a useful estimate
Send the current website, intended customer action, a rough page list and any required tools. If the budget is limited, identify the essential launch pages first and price later additions separately. A smaller, complete scope is easier to compare than an undefined promise to include everything.
