The cost of a website mostly depends on the number of pages, the features (online sales, booking, forms), the content to produce and maintenance after launch. Describe your project once: Courtier TI suggests a web agency that matches it. The service is free for you.

What drives the cost of a website

Type of site: a business website, an e-commerce site or a redesign require different work.
Number of pages and languages: a bilingual French-English site needs more content.
Features: online payment, booking, client portal, integrations with your software.
Content: copy, photos and logo supplied by you or to be produced.
Design: existing template or custom design.
After launch: hosting, updates, security and support.

Separate launch essentials from future improvements

To control the budget, ask for separate pricing for launch essentials and features that can be added later. Also specify who supplies copy, images and translations. The quote should distinguish creation costs, recurring fees and additional work.
