How much does development cost?
5 mins read
Depending on the scope and complexity of the product, the estimated budget for a single-language landing page without a light/dark theme option starts at $500. The cost of a single-language business card website with up to 5 pages and no theme changes is approximately from $800. The cost of developing an online store with 10-15 products and payment integration through one payment system starts at $1,600.
Website development is a complex process, and its cost depends on several factors, including the scope of work, functionality, design, and technical solutions that need to be implemented. Different types of websites have varying development requirements, which directly affect the final cost. Here are some approximate rates:
Landing page
One-page website
- This type of website is suitable for presenting a single product or service and often includes basic sections such as a headline, product information, benefits, customer reviews, a contact form, or a call-to-action (CTA) button. The price for development starts at $500, depending on the complexity of the design and integrations.
Business card website
Up to 5 pages
- This format is suitable for introducing your business or company. A business card website can include pages like "About Us, " "Services, " "Contact, " "Portfolio, " etc. The approximate cost starts at $800. Additional features, such as interactive elements or a request form, may affect the total price.
Online store
With 10–15 products
- This is a more complex project that includes the development of a product catalog, individual product pages, a shopping cart, and integration with payment systems. The cost starts at $1,600. The final price may increase depending on the number of products, the need for filters, inventory management functionality, and integrations with logistics or marketing systems.
Beyond the basic website structure, several important factors can influence the total cost
Design
Unique and custom design requires more time and effort compared to using ready-made templates, and it significantly increases the cost of website development.
Functionality
The more complex the functions (such as feedback forms, calculators, interactive elements, integrations with external services), the longer and more expensive the development will be.
SEO optimization
If you are planning to promote the website through search engines, it is important to set up SEO optimization and connect website analytics in advance, which also impacts the overall project cost.
Mobile adaptation
The website must function correctly on all types of devices — computers, tablets, and smartphones. This may require additional effort to ensure a smooth user experience across various screen sizes. If you want your website to look good and work logically on computers, tablets, and phones, multiply the base price by 3. Because multiple screen adaptation requires separate design development for each screen, the development of each version, testing on each device, and seamless transitions between different screens.
Multilingual support
If your business operates in more than one country, we recommend focusing on the English version as the primary one. Alternatively, you can plan for multiple languages from the start and decide which languages you need. Each language has its own writing characteristics, and often a layout that looks perfect in English may need adjustments when translated to other languages — words might not fit within buttons or blocks, requiring the redesign of layouts. Additionally, multilingual support complicates content management on the site and requires more time for text translation and testing (checking for SEO optimization and the ability to rephrase while maintaining business context). Multilingual functionality also makes feedback forms validation more complex, and filling in data from the keyboard by website users (such as reviews or comments).
Color themes
Developing both light and dark themes for a website nearly doubles the cost. Therefore, we recommend deciding upfront whether you want both light and dark themes or prefer to work with just one.
Integration with management systems
If your website requires integrations with CRM systems, product accounting systems, or other external services, this will also be considered in the additional evaluation and depends on the complexity of the integration, as well as the cost of the system that needs to be integrated.
How to get a detailed calculation?
If you want to get a more accurate estimate of the cost of your project, the best solution is to contact our manager, who will help you clarify all the details: what features will be implemented, what design you are interested in, and what are the deadlines. After that, we will be able to prepare a commercial offer for you with the approximate cost of development and a work plan.
We also offer the option of individual collaboration with a specific specialist, where the cost of development/support will be calculated based on an hourly rate.
Therefore, before choosing a developer, we recommend comparing several offers and choosing the one that best suits your needs and budget.
