The most asked question we hear is “what are your website design costs?” The truth about website design costs is that it varies a lot depending on what you want. You should speak with us about your particular needs to get firm website design costs numbers but here is some information you can use to budget with. You need to be familiar with all the costs that go into designing and managing a modern website.
How Much Does a Website Cost?
There are three (3) parts to the cost of building and operating a modern website.
- Website Design is the one-time cost to custom design and build your website.
- Website Hosting is the cost to have your website hosted on our commercial business web server.
- Website Management & Maintenance covers the ongoing licensing costs, technical maintenance, monitoring, and client requested changes or additions.
Each of these cost components are detailed below.
WizardsWebs Design only builds websites for clients that use our hosting and management. Managed websites are the only way we can assure website performance and continuing client satisfaction.
1. Website Design
Website design cost is the one-time cost to custom design and build your website. We offer some popular website design packages below. You can also contact us for a free, no obligation quotation.
Important Considerations When Shopping Design Costs
No Outsourcing
We don’t outsource to cheap labor overseas. The person you speak with is the person building your website and we know our business.
SEO Included
The On-Page SEO (search engine optimization) is included in the website design costs. Most design firms charge extra for this work (a lot extra).
No Templates
We don’t use prebuilt themes or templates. Every website that we build is unique and tailored to our clients needs and preferences.
Experienced
Besides 40 years in marketing, we have been designing websites since the beginning of the Internet. We utilize cutting edge design tools and SEO software.
No Term Agreements
Some developers charge less but then require you to accept a term agreement that locks you into using them for extended periods. We don’t ask you to sign a term agreement.
Website License
Some design firms will not let you move a website you paid for away from them. At WizardsWebs you can transfer or take your website with you if you want to leave for any reason.

2. Website Hosting
Website hosting is the cost to have your website hosted on our commercial business web server. The cost depends on the disk space you need. Hosting Plan 1 is plenty of space for most of our clients. If you have a lot of pages and pictures you might need one of the larger plans.
Hosting Plan 1
- 5GB Disk Space
- 50GB Bandwidth
Hosting Plan 2
- 10GB Disk Space
- 100GB Bandwidth
Hosting Plan 3
- 15GB Disk Space
- 150GB Bandwidth
Website hosting includes as many email mailboxes as you want for no additional charge. However, we charge $1 per month for each 1GB of disk space allocation. For example, a single mailbox with a 2GB allocation would cost you $2 per month. WizardsWebs can also configure your account to use third party email such as G Suite and Office 360 that uses your domain name at no additional cost.

3. Website Management & Maintenance
Website Management and Maintenance is an important and necessary service that takes care of your annual licensing costs, and provides for your technical maintenance, your on-page SEO work, and any client requested edits or additions. While other companies charge over $1000 per month for these services, we typically charge only $75 month for most websites, and $100 month for large websites and e-commerce websites. We make the service mandatory because few clients understand how necessary this work is for their site to be secure and successful. We want a reputation for making our clients successful. We have clients that have been with us for over 20 years.
