Price it before you call anyone.

Most agencies make you sit through a discovery call to learn whether you can afford them. Move the sliders instead. It prices the build, your hosting plan over three years, and the renewal that catches most people out.

How many pages

3

A single well-built page is a perfectly good website, and for a lot of small businesses it is the right answer. Add pages when each one earns its place by targeting something people actually search for.

Estimate

Draft

$1,180 to $2,550

One-time build. 1 to 4 weeks typical. Fixed in writing before anything starts.

WebsiteDesign, build, and the first page$600 to $1,200
2 extra pages$200 to $450 each$400 to $900
Copy and contentSome of it, needs tidying, 3 pages$180 to $450

Running cost

3 years

Year 1Core, 1 year term$368 to $388
Year 2Core at renewal price$420 to $440
Year 3Core at renewal price$420 to $440

Year 2 is where the introductory rate ends. The plan renews automatically, for another full term, at the price current then. Wix charges it roughly 19 days before your anniversary, so set a reminder 60 days out.

Three-year total$2,388 to $3,818

Worth noticing: over three years the hosting plan costs more than the build does. On a small site the platform is the bigger number, which is exactly why the plan and the term are worth getting right up front.

Not in this number

Payment processing fees, which go to the processor, not to me
Paid advertising or ongoing SEO work
Features added after the scope is agreed, quoted separately
Nothing for defects at delivery. Those are fixed free for 30 days.

This is a planning figure, not a quote. Ranges are wide on purpose. Send it over and you get a real number in writing, or an honest answer that you do not need me.

How to read it

Why the ranges are wide

Because a form cannot see your business. The low end assumes clear requirements, content ready, and nothing unusual. The high end assumes the opposite. Most projects land in the middle, and the written scope is what turns a range into a number.

Why it shows three years

A build is a one-time cost and a platform plan is forever. Quoting the first without the second is how people end up surprised. The third year is usually where an introductory rate has expired and the real price shows up.

If the number is too high

Tell me the real budget anyway. Scope can be cut, phases can be split, and sometimes the honest answer is that a platform plan and an afternoon of setup gets you most of the way for a fraction of $600. I would rather say that than sell you something you did not need.
