The cost of hiring out a website build varies widely – from few thousand dollars for one-pager by a talented independent freelancer all the way into to six figures or more for a full custom designed site from an enterprise-focused digital agency.
As a case in point here, I worked at a well-regarded agency for 16 years, with project budgets that began approaching the million dollar range as we (and our customers) grew! Large projects like this can include custom design, information-architecture, content production (including custom photography and video work), plus technical services like content management system (CMS) implementation).Factors influencing the cost include design complexity, custom functionality, and the sizes of both the client and the service provider organizations. Typically, the larger the organizations involved, the more red tape, layers of managers, and communication overhead - which vastly increases the cost and timelines.Our own pricing and workflows strike a careful balance, offering value and efficiency combined with the confidence of top-tier expertise, with prices starting from $6,750 for an optimized single-page site, and ranging up from there depending on complexity, size, and custom nature of your needs.
