A website can cost $950 or $25,000. What drives the price isn&#8217;t a mystery, and once you understand it, comparing quotes and choosing the right option for your business gets much easier.<\/p>\n<h2>Price ranges in 2026<\/h2>\n<p>Pulling together the prices published by local agencies and freelancers gives roughly this picture (before taxes):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Small business website (5 to 10 pages)<\/strong>: about $1,500 to $4,000 with a freelancer, and $4,000 to $9,000 with an agency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Online store (WooCommerce or similar)<\/strong>: from a few thousand dollars for a small catalogue, up to $8,000 to $30,000 with an agency for a more complete store.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Redesign of an existing site<\/strong>: often 40% to 70% of the price of a new site, depending on what can be reused.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These figures are benchmarks, not rules. Two &#8220;5-page&#8221; websites can have very different prices depending on what&#8217;s behind them.<\/p>\n<h2>What drives the price<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Design: adapted template or custom<\/h3>\n<p>Starting from a template adapted to your colours and logo costs less than a design created from scratch for your brand. Both can look great. Custom design pays off when your image really needs to stand out from competitors.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Number of pages and content<\/h3>\n<p>Every page needs layout, images and text. If you supply your own text, the price goes down. If you&#8217;d rather have it written for your customers and for Google, that&#8217;s a separate service (with us, $150 per page).<\/p>\n<h3>3. Features<\/h3>\n<p>A contact form is simple. Online booking, a client area, a product catalogue or an integration with your business software add development and testing time.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Bilingual sites<\/h3>\n<p>Many businesses need a site in French and English. It&#8217;s more than a translation: you need two versions of every page, a language switcher and good search visibility in both languages. Expect roughly 30% to 40% more.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Basic SEO<\/h3>\n<p>A website that doesn&#8217;t show up on Google isn&#8217;t doing much for you. Page titles, descriptions, loading speed and page structure should be planned from the start, not added afterwards.<\/p>\n<h2>Recurring costs people forget<\/h2>\n<p>The build price is only the beginning. Also plan for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Domain name<\/strong>: about $15 to $25 per year for a .ca.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hosting<\/strong>: from a few dollars a month to several hundred a year for fast, managed hosting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintenance<\/strong>: updates, backups and security. Plans typically range from $50 to $250 a month.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A business website often means a recurring budget of a few hundred to over a thousand dollars a year. That&#8217;s not bad news: it&#8217;s what keeps your site fast, secure and up to date.<\/p>\n<h2>Our prices, for comparison<\/h2>\n<p>At Avokado, we publish our prices.

The right price is the one that matches what your website needs to do.<\/p>\n<p>Want a precise figure for your project? <a href=\"https:\/\/avokadodesign.com\/en\/contact\/\">Write to us<\/a>: we reply within 24 h with an estimate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real price ranges for a business website or online store, what drives the price, and the recurring costs to plan for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized-en-us"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/avokadodesign.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/avokadodesign.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/avokadodesign.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avokadodesign.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avokadodesign.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/avokadodesign.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":191,"href":"https:\/\/avokadodesign.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162\/revisions\/191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/avokadodesign.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avokadodesign.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avokadodesign.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
