You have most likely landed on this page by searching for WordPress website pricing, WordPress websites or a similar phrase. WordPress is the most popular website CMS in the world. It is easy to use and requires no specialist knowledge: you can edit your site much like you would edit text in Word.
Building sites on WordPress is very popular among digital agencies because WordPress is written in clean code and developers have no trouble working with it, hence its popularity. But back to the question of how much a WordPress website costs: there are several key factors to consider.
Who the website is for
This is the fundamental question when it comes to the price of a website on WordPress CMS. If the site is for a small, one-person business, say a plumber, it certainly will not be extensive and its pages will be something like About us, Services, Contact. If, however, the site is for a 200-person company with 15 departments and as many services again, we are immediately talking about a site with many pages and additional levels of nesting. Comparing the two cases, it is obvious that for the second site a developer, or even a team of developers, has to spend far more time than on a small brochure site, which in turn affects the price.
What the design requirements are
The next factor is the design of a WordPress site. Many companies offer web design but build on templates bought from international marketplaces such as Template Monster, where for $30 you can buy a template for the plumber mentioned above. This is very poor practice, but it is also driven by the client’s attitude: “I want a website, but ideally for €100”, so the company building it will not spend more than $30 because it still has to make a margin. That is why, if the design is to be original and found nowhere else, the price of the site goes up.
Features and additional modules
These can multiply the price of a WordPress website several times over. Take a hair salon that, in addition to a brochure site with About us, Services, Gallery and Contact pages, would like a Book an appointment page where clients can book a specific day and time, with new bookings appearing in the admin panel. On top of that, the administrator could mark days and times in the panel when booking is not possible. Such functionality can double the price of the site, because it requires a developer to write an additional module.
The agency’s experience and portfolio
As the saying goes, “you pay for the brand”, and the same applies to the agency building your website. If we expect our WordPress website to make customers want to browse it, return to it and use the company’s services, we should choose an agency whose portfolio contains interesting, distinctive projects that show its style. It will cost more, but in return we can be sure the site will be professional and stand out from the competition like a premium brand.
