The cost of a professionally designed website depends mainly on page count, how much design customization you need, who writes the content, and any special functionality. At DSPTCH, fixed-scope website packages start at $3,500 for up to five pages, with larger packages at $5,500 and $9,500.
Website pricing can feel opaque because two quotes for "a website" can describe very different projects. Knowing what drives the cost makes it easier to compare options.
What drives the price
Page count. Every page needs layout, content and testing. More pages, more time.
Design customization. A refined, art-directed design takes more care than adapting a template.
Content. If your copy and images are ready, the project moves faster. Copywriting, editing and photography are real work and are often priced separately.
Functionality. Contact forms are standard. Online stores, booking systems, member areas and custom integrations add significant scope.
Revisions. Clear, consolidated feedback rounds keep projects on schedule. Open-ended revisions are a common reason budgets grow.
Why fixed-scope packages help
A fixed-scope package defines the page count, inclusions, revision rounds and exclusions before work begins. You know the price in advance, and both sides know what "done" means.
Our website packages work this way:
- Refresh, $3,500: up to 5 pages, one established design direction, a contact form and one revision round.
- Elevate, $5,500: up to 10 pages, a more refined design treatment, light copy editing, core technical SEO setup and two revision rounds.
- Accelerate, $9,500: up to 15 pages, a messaging workshop, selected copywriting, additional customization, analytics and a search-readiness review.
Want to update your own text and images after launch? Content Editing can be added to any package for a one-time $499.
Final scope is always confirmed before work begins.
How to compare quotes
Line up what each quote includes: pages, design approach, who writes the content, revision rounds, technical setup, timeline assumptions and what happens after launch. The cheapest quote is often the one that leaves the most work to you.
Frequently asked questions
Why do website quotes vary so much?
Quotes often include different things. One may assume you supply all copy and images; another may include strategy, copywriting and ongoing support. Compare what's included, not just the total.
What makes a website project more expensive?
More pages, custom functionality such as e-commerce or integrations, extensive content migration, copywriting, photography and additional revision rounds all add time and cost.
Are there ongoing costs after launch?
Usually. Expect domain renewal, hosting, any third-party tools, and optionally maintenance or content support.
