How much does a startup website cost in 2026?
Three tiers cover almost every startup site. The platform and who builds it move the price more than the design does.
Price by tier
| Tier | Price | Timeline | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landing page (1 page) | $2,000–8,000 | 1–3 weeks | Freelancer $1.8–4.5k on Framer; agency $5–10k |
| Startup site (5–15 pages) | $8,000–20,000 | 4–8 weeks | Most Webflow/Framer studios publish this band |
| B2B / SaaS site (15–30 pages, CMS) | $20,000–50,000 | 6–12 weeks | Positioning, content model, case studies, integrations |
| Enterprise rebuild | $50,000–200,000+ | 3–6 months | Huemor states $50–100k typical; Orbit Media $50k+ minimums |
Platform changes the bill
| Platform | Cost profile | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Framer | Fastest, designer-owned; small site $1.8–4.5k freelance, $7.2–18k agency | Ceiling around 50–100 pages; hands off poorly to Next.js |
| Webflow | CMS-strong; agency minimums $5k (Flowout, Foursets) to $50k (SVZ) | Plan and seat fees; migrations cost extra |
| Next.js | Site lives with the product; 49% of YC 2026 homepages | Needs engineers; design-only handoff is common |
What's usually not included
- Copywriting and illustration
- Platform plans (Framer $10–100/mo, Webflow plans)
- Migration from an old CMS
- Maintenance retainers $2–15k/mo
Should you show pricing on the site?
Only 18% of YC 2026 homepages link to a pricing page. For B2B with sales-led motion that's a choice; for self-serve it's a leak. Whichever you choose, choose it — 15% of the same batch have no call to action at all.

Questions
How much does a landing page cost?
$80–350 on a template marketplace, $1,200–2,500 with a freelancer, $2,000–8,000 with a small studio, $5,000–10,000 at an agency.
Framer or Webflow: which is cheaper?
Framer, usually: smaller sites, faster builds, fewer plan fees. Webflow costs more when you need a CMS and a marketing team editing it.
How long does a startup website take?
Landing page 1–3 weeks; startup site 4–8; SaaS site 6–12. Late content adds 30–50%.
Do I need an agency for a one-page site?
No — a strong Framer freelancer or template plus a designer's eye is enough. You need an agency when the site has to carry a positioning change or a raise.
