How Much Should You Pay Someone to Design a Website?

Your website is often the first impression people have of your business.
It needs to work, look good, and get results.

But how much should you actually pay for it?

Let’s break it down clearly—no jargon, no fluff.

What Website Options Do You Offer?

At Pixelish, we keep things simple. You can choose:

1. Standard Web Design (One-off Payment)/h3>

Pay once, and the website is yours.
Ideal if you prefer to handle your own hosting and updates.
We also offer optional care plans for ongoing support and maintenance.

2. Pay Monthly Websites

No setup fee. Just one monthly price that covers everything—design, hosting, updates, and support.
Perfect if you want a done-for-you website with no hassle.

What Affects Website Costs?

Here’s what can increase or lower the price:

• Features – Booking systems and eCommerce take more time than simple brochure sites.
• Support – If you need updates, backups, and technical help, that’s built into the monthly price.
• Custom work – A fully tailored design takes more planning and development.
• SEO – Without it, people might never find your site. It’s not optional if you want results.
