Tough question. The answer depends on a number of factors, like what website builder you choose.  WordPress.com has plans for as little as $5 per month, while BigCommerce has plans as expensive as $249.95 per month. Most website builders fall somewhere in between—usually around $20 to $40 a month. Then you have the cost of a domain name. While some builders give you a free domain for one year, realistically you’ll have to pay for your domain at some point. And with WordPress.org, you’ll have to pay for a hosting plan.  Plus, for some builders, you’ll need to factor in the cost of paid themes. BigCommerce themes, for example, easily cost over $200. Then there’s plugins or apps, which can range from 100% free to thousands of dollars. And you may want to consider the cost of extras—like an email account, advanced site security, and VIP customer support—or the cost of a web developer. So if you’re using one of BigCommerce’s most expensive plans with a paid theme and some paid apps, you could easily spend thousands on your website every year. A simple business home page on WordPress.com, on the other hand, could cost you as little as $60 a year. In other words, only you can say exactly how much it will cost to build your website. That’s why we try to give you a heads-up on all the costs of particular builders in our website builder reviews. If you’re anything like us, you’ll want to do some math before committing to anything.
