Guide
How much does a website cost in 2026?
It depends on who builds it and what it has to do. These are the ranges the most-read guides publish, in the United States and in Colombia, what moves the price, and what we charge.
In the United States

| A freelancer | $2,000–$7,600 ($50–$95 an hour, 40–80 hours) | WebsiteSetup (November 2025) |

Ranges are what each guide publishes for the market, not quotes. Our prices are starting prices; a Discovery turns your scope into a fixed quote.
What moves the price
-
01
How many kinds of page
Five pages that share one layout cost less than twenty that each need their own. What counts is the number of templates, not the number of pages.
-
02
Who writes and shoots the content
Copy, photos and video are often left out of a quote. Ask whether they are in it, and who delivers them.
-
03
A custom design or a template
A template is faster and cheaper; a design made for your brand and your content is what makes the site look like yours.
-
04
Selling online
A store adds the catalogue, checkout, payments, shipping and taxes, each set up for your market.
-
05
What it connects to
A CRM, a booking calendar, forms that notify your team, analytics: each integration is work to build and to keep running.
-
06
Languages
A second language is its own copy and its own pages, set up so search engines index both.
What it costs to keep it running
Professional WordPress maintenance, with someone who updates, backs up and fixes the site, runs $240 to $1,000 or more a month in the United States (Codeable (March 2026)). In Colombia, technical maintenance runs COP 250,000 to 900,000 a month (Cangrejo Digital (September 2026)).
Our care plan is $250 a month: managed hosting, updates, security, backups and 8 hours of small changes every month.
How we price
Every engagement starts from a set price. Discovery turns it into a fixed quote for your project.
Projects are paid in three parts: 40% to start, 40% at the first delivery and 20% at the final delivery.
