About Website Cost Estimator
We are a vendor-neutral resource for website cost information — no agency affiliations, no lead generation, no sales pressure.
Our Mission
Website pricing is notoriously opaque. Most cost calculators and guides online are owned by web agencies or hosting companies with a financial interest in your decisions.
Website Cost Estimator was built to fix that. Our tools and guides are funded by display advertising and clearly-disclosed affiliate commissions — never by steering you toward any particular vendor.
How We Research Prices
All pricing data is gathered from:
- Published pricing pages from major web agencies and freelance platforms
- Freelancer rate surveys (Upwork, Toptal, We Work Remotely)
- Platform pricing pages (Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, WordPress.com)
- Hosting provider published rates
Prices are reviewed quarterly and updated for current market conditions.
