How Much Does a Website Cost in 2026? (US, UK, EU & Australia)
Real price ranges for marketing sites, e-commerce stores and web apps, and why an offshore senior team can cost 50-70% less without cutting corners.
The short answer
A professional 5-page website costs $1,500-$6,000 from a specialist studio, $8,000-$25,000 from a local agency in the US, UK or Australia. E-commerce stores run $3,000-$40,000 depending on complexity.
What drives the price
- Custom design versus templates
- Number of pages and content production
- Integrations: bookings, payments, CRM, WhatsApp
- Ongoing SEO and maintenance
Why offshore does not mean cheap quality
A senior team in India with strong English, overlapping hours and fixed-price contracts delivers the same output as a local agency at a fraction of the overhead. The difference is process, not talent.
Questions to ask any agency
- Will I own the code and accounts?
- What is the Core Web Vitals score of your last three sites?
- Who is my point of contact and in which time zone?
