A GUIDE FROM THE STUDIO · UPDATED 10 NOVEMBER 2026
What a business website costs
Website cost follows the scope. Flying Devs estimates after seeing the pages and the systems involved, and agrees the price before work starts. This guide explains the differences. It does not publish a rate card.
A small business website
A shop, clinic, school, or travel business usually needs a homepage, a page for each service, and a clear way to call, book, or send an enquiry. The cost is the design and build of those pages, written around the words customers already use. A site like GS Tours & Travels also needed service pages a traveler could scan before booking.
The estimate grows when the pages have to explain more than one offer, when the copy is still being decided, or when the site has to match a booking or payment step. It stays smaller when the business already knows the pages and the next step for a visitor.
Ecommerce
Ecommerce website design adds a catalogue, a checkout, and payment. Those pieces are a different scope from a brochure site, because the page has to take an order, not only describe one. We look at the number of products, the payment provider, and how orders should reach the business before naming a price.
A redesign that keeps the addresses
A website redesign can keep the addresses people already use and replace the pages behind them. That matters when the current site has been linked, printed, or indexed. The cost includes the new pages and the redirects from the old addresses. Throwing those addresses away is a separate, and usually worse, decision.
What we need before a number
We ask which pages exist, what the visitor should do next, and which systems are already in place: booking, payment, a school record, or only a phone number. Mobile app work, ongoing SEO, and ad campaigns are separate scopes. Website design and development describes the build. SEO or Google Ads describes what happens after launch.
Questions about website cost
Do you publish website prices on this page?
No. A small business website, an ecommerce site, and a redesign are different scopes. We estimate after we see the pages and the systems, and we agree the price before work starts.
Does a redesign have to change the page addresses?
No. A redesign can keep the addresses people already use and replace the pages behind them. Old addresses that do change should redirect.
Are SEO and ads included in the website price?
Ongoing articles and ad campaigns are a separate scope. The website still needs clear offers and headings so that later SEO and ads have a page worth landing on.
