How much will your small business website cost? Answer a few quick questions to get an instant estimate of your one-time build cost, ongoing monthly costs, and timeline. Custom websites from CDD Services start at just $1,000.
How This Website Cost Calculator Works
The calculator starts with the type of website you need, then adds the things that change the price: extra pages, copywriting, SEO setup, special features, branding, and ongoing support. The estimates are based on our typical pricing, so you can plan a realistic budget before we talk.
What Affects the Cost of a Website?
- Type of website: A simple five-page site takes far less time than a lead-generation site with service and location pages, or a large custom build.
- Number of pages: Every service or location page adds design, writing, and SEO work, and more chances to rank on Google.
- Content: Professional copywriting costs more upfront but usually converts far better than rushed, generic text.
- Features: Booking, online stores, payments, and integrations add development time.
- Branding: If you need a logo or full brand identity first, budget for it alongside the website.
- Ongoing care: Hosting, updates, backups, and security keep your site fast and safe after launch.

How to Lower Your Website Cost Without Cutting Corners
- Start with the pages that bring in customers: your homepage, main services, and contact page. Add more later.
- Gather your photos, reviews, and service details before the project starts.
- Start with a basic website if budget is tight, then add service and location pages as your business grows.
- Avoid features you won’t use in the first year.
- Pick a platform you can update yourself. See WordPress vs. Wix vs. Squarespace.
Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to build a small business website?
A basic website usually launches in about two to three weeks, and a service business website in three to five weeks. Larger custom builds typically take six to ten weeks, depending largely on how quickly content and feedback are ready.
Why do monthly costs matter?
A website needs hosting, updates, backups, and security to stay fast and safe. Ongoing SEO is optional, but it’s how most businesses keep growing their traffic and leads over time.
Should I choose the cheapest option?
Not necessarily. A website that brings in even a few extra customers a month usually pays for itself. Learn how to choose a web design company and what questions to ask.
