How much does a website cost for an established business?

Short answer: the cost of a business website depends on four things: how many pages it needs, whether your brand is ready, who writes the words, and what the site has to connect to. With sero social, brand and a three-page website for a new business is $7,500, a 48-hour website starts at $3,500, and full custom builds start at $15,000.

What actually drives the price?

• Pages and features. A three-page site is a different job from a twenty-page site with booking, quote forms or an online store.

• Brand readiness. If you need a logo, colors and a clear position first, that work happens before design.

• Copywriting. Words sell the work. Writing them well takes time, and it is often left out of cheap quotes.

• Photography and content. Real photos of your team and your work build trust, but they need to be planned and shot.

• Integrations. Forms that reach the right person, CRMs, booking tools and analytics all add setup time.

Fixed price or hourly?

Hourly billing puts the risk on you. Every round of changes adds to the invoice, and the final number is unknown until the end. A fixed price, agreed before work starts, means the scope is clear and the studio carries the risk of going over. That is how every sero social project is priced.

What should a website quote include?

• Design for desktop, tablet and phone

• Copywriting, or a clear note that you supply the words

• Basic SEO setup: page titles, descriptions, headings and image alt text

• A contact or quote form that reaches the right inbox

• A handover so your team can edit the site

• A launch date

If a quote does not mention these, ask. They are where surprise invoices come from.
