How the estimate is calculated.
The math isn't proprietary. Here's exactly what drives the number.
Project type
Marketing sites start around $2,500. Ecommerce with cart + checkout starts around $6,500. Web apps with user accounts + custom logic start around $12,000.
Page count
The first 5 pages are included in base. Pages 6–10 add $500, 11–20 add $1,500, 21+ add $3,500 — because each unique page template is real design + code work.
Design intensity
Template-based is fastest. Custom design (built for your brand from wireframes) adds $1,500–$3,000. Bespoke (every screen designed uniquely) adds $4,000–$8,000.
Content & add-ons
Copywriting is $1,200. Custom photography is $1,500. SEO setup (schema, sitemap, GBP) is $800. Booking or multi-step forms are $800. Integrations run $1,500+ each.
The estimate is a range, not a promise. We add a ±10–15% band around the base number to account for scope realities we can only see once we talk. Your real proposal is a single fixed number.

About the calculator.
It's an honest starting point using the same math we run internally. Your real proposal is a single fixed number based on a 30-minute scoping call — often within the calculator's range, sometimes below it if your scope is tight, occasionally above if there are complexities the calculator can't know about (unusual integrations, tight deadlines, accessibility compliance work).
Because giving one number without talking to you would be dishonest. Two projects with the same page count can cost very different amounts based on brand maturity, content readiness, and how many decisions have been made. The range reflects that uncertainty.
Ongoing hosting (plans from $25/month), optional maintenance plans ($50–$200/month), domain registration, third-party subscriptions (Stripe, Mailchimp, etc.), stock photography licenses, and any custom illustration work. Hosting and maintenance are separate monthly plans, not part of the build price. Everything you select in the calculator is included in the design + dev + launch number.
Every project is 50% up front, 50% at launch. For larger projects (>$10k) we can structure a 3- or 4-milestone payment schedule tied to deliverables.
The calculator covers our most common project types. If your project is genuinely custom — a booking platform, a SaaS product, a custom CMS — book a call and we'll scope it properly and send a fixed-price proposal.
