The short answer
Website prices vary widely because "a website" can mean a one-page flyer or a full online store. Here are typical market ranges for small business websites in Texas. They're a guide to what's normal, not a quote.
| Type of website | Typical range | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Simple 1 to 5 page site | $1,000 – $3,500 | New businesses, simple services |
| Small business site, 6 to 15 pages | $3,000 – $8,000 | Most local service businesses |
| Online store | $4,000 – $15,000+ | Selling products online |
| Custom features (booking, portals) | $8,000 – $25,000+ | Specialized needs |
What drives the price
- Number of pages. Each service page needs design, writing and SEO work.
- Copywriting. Writing content for you, especially in two languages, adds time.
- Features. Online booking, stores, member areas and custom forms cost more.
- Custom design vs. template. Custom design takes longer but fits your business.
- Photography. Professional photos of your business, team and work.
Monthly costs to expect
Beyond the build, plan for ongoing costs:
- Domain name: about $15 to $25 per year
- Hosting and SSL: free to about $50 per month, depending on the platform
- Maintenance and updates: optional, often $50 to $300 per month
- SEO or ads management: optional, priced by scope
Cheap websites can cost more
A $300 website often means a template with no SEO, no strategy and nobody to call when it breaks. If it doesn't bring in customers, it was expensive. Ask what's included: mobile design, SEO setup, content, training and who owns the site when it's done.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Is the price fixed, and what's included?
- Who owns the domain and the website?
- Will the site be built for SEO from day one?
- What are the monthly costs after launch?
- Can I see Laredo websites you've built?
