In detail
For a custom website built to actually grow a business, budget somewhere between $8,000 and $25,000+ depending on scope — anything meaningfully under that usually means templates, limited strategy, or corners cut on conversion and SEO. Price scales with how much strategic work goes in before a single page gets designed — messaging, UX research, CRO planning, and technical SEO/AEO foundation. A $3K site and a $15K site can look similar on the surface; the difference shows up months later in traffic, leads, and how easy the site is to update.
