A clear breakdown of website costs — without agency fog.

If you’re searching for website cost in the U.S., you’ve probably seen everything from $99 templates to $50k agency proposals. Here’s how Sirius Software prices real builds — and what those numbers usually include.

How Much Does a Custom Website Cost?

Key takeaways

  • ~$750 starter sites
  • ~$2,500 tools
  • $25k+ products
  • Milestone quotes

01

Starter business websites (~$750)

A custom marketing site: brand-matched design, service pages, lead CTA, mobile layout, and launch support. Typical timeline: 1–2 weeks. Best when you need a polished public presence, not a custom app.

02

Product tools with admin (~$2,500)

Interactive experiences — calculators, matching tools, catalogs — plus admin so you can update content/pricing yourself. Typical timeline: 3–6 weeks.

03

Full products & large platforms ($25k+)

Accounts, dashboards, data integrations, AI features, and ongoing product structure. Typical timeline: 3–6 months, quoted in milestones.

04

What agencies often charge

For comparable outcomes, agencies frequently quote several times more once design, PM, and markup stack up. Our published tiers exist so you can compare apples to apples before a sales call.

05

How to budget with less risk

Start with a fixed-range quote. Ship in milestones. Own your code. Add hosting/care only if you want it. That process works for clients across the U.S., with Florida as our home base.

Quick answers

Is hosting included?

Hosting is separate. Starter sites can run from about $20/mo for hosting and routine care.

Do prices change by state?

Scope drives price more than location. We work remotely across the U.S. with the same published tiers.

Can I get an exact number?

Yes — after a short discovery call we provide a clear estimate for your specific project.
