Section 1

Why website prices vary

Website development is not a single standard product. A five-page service website, a contractor website with project and service-area architecture, an e-commerce store and a custom web platform have very different engineering requirements.

The most useful way to compare quotations is to compare scope, deliverables, ownership, performance requirements, integrations, support and future expansionโ€”not only the number at the bottom of the proposal.

  • Information architecture and number of unique page templates
  • Custom UI/UX depth
  • Content migration and content production
  • Forms, payment gateways, CRM or API integrations
  • Technical SEO and structured data
  • Performance, accessibility and testing
  • Hosting, deployment and post-launch support

Section 2

Electro Species starting points

Eligible custom-coded website engagements start at โ‚น30,000. Larger service websites, contractor and commercial websites, e-commerce builds and custom applications are scoped separately because the implementation effort and testing surface grow quickly.

  • Essential business website: from โ‚น30,000
  • Growth website: from โ‚น55,000
  • Contractor or commercial website: from โ‚น65,000
  • E-commerce website: from โ‚น90,000
  • Custom or enterprise website: from โ‚น1,50,000
  • Custom web application: from โ‚น1,50,000

Section 3

What should be included in a serious quote?

A useful proposal should define what is being designed and built, what content or data is expected from the client, which integrations are included, how revisions are handled, what testing is performed and what happens after launch.

It should also identify third-party charges such as hosting, domains, paid APIs, payment gateway fees or commercial software licences instead of hiding them inside an ambiguous package.

  • Scope and exclusions
  • Milestones and review points
  • Technical stack and deployment assumptions
  • SEO and analytics responsibilities
  • Browser and device testing
  • Warranty or post-launch support period
