The short answer
In the US, a small-business website typically runs $3,000–$10,000 from a freelancer, $8,000–$30,000 from an agency, and $200–$600 a year on a DIY builder before add-ons. What actually moves the number is page count, whether the design is custom or a template, how much content you need written, and whether anything has to talk to another system. Our own fixed prices are $169 for a landing page, $499 for a full business website and $1,249 for e-commerce or custom builds.
What the US market charges
The same brief costs wildly different amounts depending on who builds it. Here's the honest spread.
| Who you hire | Typical cost | What that actually means |
|---|---|---|
| DIY builder (Wix, Squarespace) | $200 – $600 / year | Your time is the real cost — usually 20–60 hours. Add-ons and transaction fees climb fast. |
| Freelancer, template-based | $1,500 – $5,000 | Quality swings enormously. Often a customised theme rather than a build. |
| Freelancer, custom | $4,000 – $12,000 | Better work, but single-person risk — holidays, illness and disappearing acts are real. |
| Small US agency | $8,000 – $30,000 | Project management, design and dev as a team. You're paying US salaries and overhead. |
| Large agency / enterprise | $50,000 – $250,000+ | Discovery phases, brand work, multiple stakeholders. Rarely what a local business needs. |
| Mana Studio | $169 – $1,249+ | Fixed price in writing. Same senior engineers, without the US cost base. |
US agency figures below are typical market ranges for comparable scope — what businesses tell us they were quoted, and what US agencies publish on their own pricing pages. They are not quotes from any named firm, and your own quotes may fall outside them. Our prices are fixed and confirmed in writing before any work starts.
What drives the price
If two quotes are far apart, the difference is almost always hiding in one of these rows.
| What drives it | Costs less | Costs more |
|---|---|---|
| Number of pages | 1–5 pages covering one service or offer | 20+ pages, multiple services, multiple locations |
| Design approach | A proven layout adapted to your brand | Custom design from scratch with multiple concept rounds |
| Content | You supply copy, photos and logos | Copywriting, photography and brand work all commissioned |
| Functionality | Contact form, click-to-call, map | Accounts, bookings, payments, dashboards, member areas |
| Integrations | Nothing external, or a simple embed | CRM, EHR, POS, ERP or a legacy system with no modern API |
| E-commerce depth | A dozen simple products | Variants, inventory sync, tax rules, shipping zones, subscriptions |
| SEO scope at build | Clean technical foundation and schema | Keyword research, content strategy and dozens of location pages |
