The short answer
A landing page or a small company website starts at $300 and takes 5–10 days. After launch you pay for the domain (usually $10–20 a year) and hosting — from free for a static site to $5–20 a month for WordPress. The price is fixed in writing before work starts.
Prices by type of website
| Website | What it is | Price | Time |

Builder or custom website?
Builders are fine for a quick start, but you rent the site: the monthly fee never ends, and leaving is hard. A custom site is paid once, loads faster and belongs to you. The full comparison is in website builder or custom website.
What a good small business website includes
- Fast loading on phones — most visitors come from mobile.
- A clear offer on the first screen: what you do, for whom and the next step.
- Contact buttons that work: WhatsApp, Telegram, phone and a short form.
- Prices or price ranges — they filter out requests that would not fit.
- Proof: works, numbers, reviews.
- Analytics and, if you advertise, a correctly installed pixel.
SEO from day one
Technical SEO is part of every site I build: fast pages, clean structure, proper titles and descriptions, a sitemap and structured data that search engines understand. Ranking for competitive queries also takes useful content and time — see technical SEO for what can be done in the code.
