What actually drives the cost
Website pricing is not arbitrary. The cost of a website project is driven by a small set of concrete factors:
- Number of pages and page types — a five-page brochure site and a forty-page B2B site are different projects.
- Design complexity — template-adjusted layouts cost less than a fully custom design system.
- Functionality — forms, filters, calculators, portals, payments and integrations all add effort.
- CMS requirements — whether your team needs to edit content, and how sophisticated that editing needs to be.
- Content — who writes, structures and optimizes the copy matters more than most businesses expect.
- Ongoing services — hosting, maintenance, SEO and conversion work after launch.
A practical way to budget
Instead of asking "what does a website cost?", ask "what should this website achieve?" A website meant to generate enquiries every week justifies a different investment than one meant to simply exist. At Shivonix, website projects range from entry-level business websites through custom digital platforms — the right tier depends on your goals, not on a price list.
Timeline expectations
A typical business website takes approximately 7–14 days once requirements, content and approvals are in place. Larger websites and custom applications take longer — mostly because of content readiness and decision speed, not development itself.
Before you spend anything
If you already have a website, start with a structured review rather than a rebuild. Our free website growth audit examines design, mobile usability, performance, technical SEO, content and conversion — so you can decide what actually needs investment.
