How much does a professional website cost in 2026?

The price varies because the problem varies

If you Google "how much does a website cost," you'll find answers ranging from $500 to $200,000. The spread is huge because it depends on what you need to solve.

A 5-page business website is completely different from an e-commerce store with 500 products. And a booking system is a whole other universe. Every project has a different scope, complexity, and timeline.

Real price ranges in 2026

Here at Kodde, we work with three tiers:

Express (starting at $2,900): Landing pages and simple sites up to 5 pages. Delivered in 7 business days. Perfect for anyone who needs a digital presence fast to run paid ads.

Custom (starting at $7,900): Full business websites with 100% custom design, advanced SEO, and up to 15 pages. This is our most popular project.

Premium (starting at $24,000): E-commerce stores, marketplaces, custom-built systems, and apps. Complex projects with a dedicated team.

What drives the price

Three main factors: complexity (how many features), urgency (tight deadlines cost more), and customization (adapted template vs. design from scratch).

What to look out for before hiring

Run from promises of a "full website for $300." These projects usually rely on pre-made templates, skip SEO, ignore mobile optimization, and vanish after delivery. Cheap gets expensive fast when your site doesn't convert a single customer.
