How much does a small business website cost in 2026

Asking "how much does a website cost" is a lot like asking "how much does a renovation cost". The answer depends on what needs to be done. One business is fine with a single page of prices and a "Book now" button, another needs a catalogue of hundreds of products with card payments. Those two projects can differ in price several times over, and that is normal.

Below we go through what the price is made of, what the different formats cost at Fir Tech and how to order a website without paying for things you do not need.

What drives the price

Almost always, five things decide the cost. If you know them in advance, the conversation with any developer gets shorter and more honest.

• Type of site. A landing page, a company website and an online store take different amounts of work. A landing page is one page that explains your service and collects requests. A company site has several sections: services, prices, about, contacts. A shop needs a catalogue, a cart and a checkout.
• Number of pages. Every page has to be planned, built and checked on a phone. Ten similar service cards are quicker to make than ten different pages, each with its own structure.
• Languages. A second language is more than translated text. It needs a switcher, separate page addresses for search engines and a check that long words do not break the layout.
• Online payments. Connecting a payment provider, handling successful and failed payments, order notifications. This is separate work, and it has to be done carefully.
• Editing panel. If you want to change prices, texts and photos yourself, you need an admin panel. Without one, every change goes through a developer.

Design affects the price too, but less than people expect. A clean, modern design on a well planned grid costs a reasonable amount. It gets expensive when every block gets unique illustrations and complex animations. A small business rarely needs that: what matters more is that a customer quickly understands what you offer and can contact you.

Our starting prices

Our prices are public and the same for everyone. This is where the main formats start:

• Landing page: from $150. Usually 5-7 days.
• Company website: from $400. 2-3 weeks.
• Online store: from $900. 3-5 weeks.

Extra features are added to the base price:

• Second language: from $80.
• Requests sent to Telegram: from $40.
• Online payments: from $150.
• Editing panel: from $200.

For example, a landing page for a salon in two languages, with requests going straight to Telegram, starts from $270. The word "from" matters here: it is the lower bound. If a project has complex parts, such as a custom price calculation or a link to your accounting software, the price will be higher. You will know how much higher before work starts, not halfway through.

How a fixed quote works

The worst way to order a website goes like this: you agree on one amount, and at the end it turns out that "this was not included" and you have to pay more. To avoid that, we work from a written quote.

First comes a short free 30 minute call where we work out what the business needs. Then we write a quote with the price, the timeline and the full list of work. Everything in the quote is done for that amount. If a new idea comes up along the way, we price it separately, and it goes ahead only with your agreement.

Paying in stages

Paying the full amount upfront to a developer you do not know yet is risky, and we understand that. So the work is split into stages. The first payment comes after you sign the quote, the next one after you have reviewed and accepted a stage. We show progress every week, so you pay for what you can see.

How not to overpay

1. 1Start small. If you are not sure a website will bring customers, start with a landing page. It can grow into a full site later, and the work already done is not wasted.
2. 2Do not order features "for the future". Customer accounts, a blog and online payments are not for everyone. Add them when there is a real need.
3. 3Prepare your materials. Texts, photos, prices and contacts gathered in advance save time. If something is missing we can help, but it is better to discuss it early.
4. 4Ask for the quote in writing. A spoken "roughly this much" guarantees nothing. A quote should list the work, not only the total.
5. 5Ask what happens after launch. Who fixes bugs, what support costs, whose name the domain is in. With us, fixes are free for the first month, then there is monthly support from $30 a month or one-off tasks.

In short

The price of a website depends on its type, the number of pages, languages, payments and an editing panel. With us a landing page starts from $150, a company website from $400 and an online store from $900. We fix the price and timeline in the quote before we start, and you pay in stages. If you need a Telegram bot or automation along with the site, a bundle of two parts or more gets 10% off.
