The type of your website influences the price for creating a website
Not all websites are of the same complexity. A website to publish information about your company or business will take a lot less time to develop than an eCommerce website, for example. To see how prices for website design for businesses are set, we’ll show you four different types of websites — small, medium-sized, large, and eCommerce — and present how the number of pages and functionality influences the price.
Small business websites
Not every business needs a multi-page website. Sometimes, just a one-page site is enough to promote your company, products and services, short-term offerings, product launches, and one-time events. The page can also contain a product description, contact information, social media links, and a contact form or questionnaire. Apart from single-page websites, there are microsites that have multiple pages. All small websites are informational: they inform visitors about your business.
Usually, these websites don’t take lots of time, money, and brainpower and are a good option for companies that are short on budget but want to market themselves.
Medium-sized business websites
Medium-sized websites consist of a few dozen pages and aim at marketing services and goods, attracting and converting visitors, increasing brand awareness, and building loyalty through a portfolio, customer testimonial page, services page, and contact us page.
The price for developing a medium-sized business website depends on the number of pages and features.
Large business websites
Large businesses need informative sites that contain hundreds if not thousands of pages. The best examples of large websites are portals designed to provide a single access point to a broad range of company-related data and services. Since these websites are content-heavy, the information provided is categorized and users can find what they need via smart search and filters.
eCommerce websites
eCommerce sites differ greatly from other websites because of the elements that are designed to buy and sell goods. The cost of developing an eCommerce site depends on what you want it to do. Some online marketplaces have several million items and functionality such as personal accounts and customer reviews. Other eCommerce platforms don’t require these features; they need just a small directory, a shopping cart, and online payments. The more items, functionality, and traffic you have, the more expensive your website will be.
