Website cost
What a website costs, in real numbers.
Most agencies won’t put a price on their site. Here’s ours: what a website from Axidus costs, what changes the price, and what you’ll pay once it’s live.
The short answer
A website for a contractor, remodeler or builder, made from one of our designs, starts at $1,500 for 10 pages, with the copy written for you and live in about two weeks. Each extra page is $100. A custom design, an online store or a redesign gets a fixed price after a short call. Either way, you know the price before any work starts.
The Starter, from $1,500.

Everything else: a fixed price after a short call.
Every project is different, so these get a quote in writing before any work starts. Anything you add later is priced before we start it.
- A custom websiteDesigned from scratch for your business, on WordPress or custom code. Priced by the number of pages and what has to work, not just look right: booking, quote forms, a project gallery, connections to your other tools.
- A Shopify storePriced by the number of products and pages, the theme work, and any apps or custom code. Shopify's own monthly plan is paid to Shopify.
- A redesignPriced by how big your current site is and how much carries over: the content, the pages and the redirects that keep the rankings you've earned.
- Ongoing workSEO, care and updates are a monthly fee. Small, open-ended jobs can be hourly.
What changes the price.
The same five things move the price of almost any website.
- 1More pagesEach service and each town you want to rank for is its own page. On the Starter, that's $100 a page.
- 2Things that have to workOnline booking, payments, a store, or a form that feeds your CRM takes more building and more testing than a page of text.
- 3A design made from scratchStarting from one of our designs means you pay to make it yours, not to build it from nothing.
- 4Content you don't have yetA logo, photos of your work, or a lot of new writing. Having them ready keeps the price and the timeline down.
- 5A big site to moveCarrying hundreds of pages or products over from an old site, with a redirect for each, so you don't lose your place on Google.
What you pay after it's live.
A website has a few running costs. None of them are surprises.
- Your domainRenewed once a year with the company you registered it with, usually under $25 for a .com. It's in your name.
- Hosting and careHosting, updates and small changes on a monthly Care plan, priced with your site, so it keeps working while you're out on jobs.
- EmailBusiness email like you@yourbusiness.com, billed by Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 per person, if you want it.
- Store feesOn Shopify, its monthly plan and any paid apps, billed by Shopify.
Questions about cost.
How much does a small business website cost?
A website for a contractor, remodeler or builder, made from one of our designs, starts at $1,500 for 10 pages, with the copy written for you and live in about two weeks. Each extra page is $100. A custom design, an online store or a redesign gets a fixed price after a short call. Either way, you know the price before any work starts.
Why do some agency quotes cost so much more?
A larger agency pays for account managers, project managers and developers, and prices in the hand-offs between them. At Axidus the person on your first call designs and builds your site. And starting from a finished design means your money goes into making it yours.
Is a $1,500 website a template?
It starts from a design we made for remodelers and builders, then becomes yours: your words, logo, colors, photos and only the pages you need. We won't build the same design for a direct competitor in your area.
Who owns the website?
You do. The site, the domain, the accounts and every file are in your name. If we ever part ways, it all stays with you.
How do I get an exact price?
Tell us about your business and what you need. After a short call you get a fixed price and a timeline in writing, before any work starts. It's free, with no obligation.
