Estimate website development and maintenance costs based on features, complexity, and hosting requirements.
Choose the pages, features, and integrations you need.
Pick basic, standard, or complex for each feature.

This calculator turns a set of project choices - site type, page count, features like e-commerce or a custom CMS, and a hosting tier - into an estimated build cost range plus a separate ongoing monthly cost for hosting and maintenance. It works by adding a base cost for the site type to per-feature increments and scaling for stated complexity. What people get wrong most often: they read the build-cost range as a fixed quote and forget the recurring line is a real, separate number that keeps accruing after launch.
You choose a site type (brochure, blog, e-commerce, web app), a page or product count, and check off features such as a content management system, online payments, custom design work, third-party integrations, and a hosting tier (shared, managed, or cloud). Each choice maps to a cost increment rather than a fixed price.
The calculator sums a base build cost for the site type with the incremental cost of each selected feature, then applies a complexity adjustment for things like custom design or non-standard integrations. It reports the build cost as a low-high range and lists hosting plus maintenance as a separate recurring monthly or annual figure, since that cost continues after the one-time build.
No. It is a planning-stage range meant to anchor a budget conversation, not a bid. A real quote depends on the specific developer's rates, the exact scope, revisions, and timeline, all of which this calculator does not know.
It gives a separate recurring line for hosting and maintenance based on the tier you selected, but it does not include ongoing content updates, plugin or software subscriptions, or marketing spend, so your actual monthly outlay is usually higher than that line alone.
