Calculating Website Design Costs in 2024
When figuring out how much a website will cost in 2024, the answer is a bit like, “Well, it depends.” It’s not just about aesthetics but also what you want your website to do. If you’re looking for more than just a pretty face—maybe you need a bespoke quoting system or want your site to link up with other systems through an API— that will factor into the cost.
Click the handy tool above to get an idea of your project cost. It takes you through what our project managers consider when pricing a website. It’s a great way to get a rough idea without directly conversing with a project manager.

The Basics
Overview
When embarking on website development, there exists a diverse array of options with varying implications for cost, design quality, and client involvement. Visualised on a spectrum, the correlation is clear: higher costs often translate to superior quality and reduced time commitment for the client, and vice versa.
At the lower end of this spectrum, website builders emerge as template-driven tools, empowering individuals to construct their sites without delving into manual coding. This option suits beginners with minimal design knowledge seeking cost-effective solutions, yet the trade-off lies in the potential compromise on achieving a highly distinctive, bespoke website. Alternatively, those with more financial flexibility may opt for a freelance designer, whether local or offshore. Offshore freelancers, leveraging favourable exchange rates, often present a more budget-friendly option.
Ascending to the upper echelon of the scale, established design agencies offer fully bespoke websites meticulously crafted to client specifications. This entails minimal client involvement but commands a premium due to the inclusion of a diverse team of skilled professionals, including project managers, content writers, designers, and developers. This option is particularly attractive for clients where the opportunity cost of building the site themselves outweighs the investment in a comprehensive, expertly curated website.

A Great Middle Ground
Freelancers
Bridging the gap between offshore services and agency partnerships, freelancers offer a unique blend of advantages. They address some of the challenges of offshore collaborations, allowing local, face-to-face meetings to discuss project specifications. Positioned as a middle ground, freelancers offer a viable option for those who seek a balance between personalized service and the capabilities of a full-fledged agency, making them an ideal choice for businesses not ready to transition to the agency model.
