Marketing websites usually cost $1,000 - $145,000, depending on your needs. Most small- to mid-sized businesses spend $1,000-$10,000 on the initial build.
But here's what people forget: that's just the starting point. You'll want to budget another $50-$6,000/month for ongoing work, such as SEO, content updates, and paid ads to drive traffic.
What pushes the cost up or down? Pretty straightforward: how many pages you need, how custom the design is, whether you're integrating with your CRM or email tools, or if you need e-commerce functionality.
Like, a solid B2B site with lead capture forms, marketing automation hookups, and professional content? That's starting around $20k. A simpler 10-page site with contact forms, a blog, and basic SEO? More like $5k - $15k to build, then $200 - $2k/month to maintain and optimise.
If you want customer portals, booking systems, or complex integrations, you're looking at $50k - $100k+.
One thing worth mentioning is that investing in good design and user experience from the start actually pays off. Sites that convert well make back their cost pretty quickly. Skimping on design to save $5k upfront usually means leaving money on the table long-term.
