How much does a small business website cost?
The cost of a small business website depends mostly on how many pages it has and what it needs to do. At Northframe, Presence is $199 (Founding Client Pricing, regularly $349) for up to 3 pages, and Business is $349 (Founding Client Pricing, regularly $499) for up to 5 pages. Both are one-time prices.
What drives the price
- Number of pages, and how different each one is. What pages a small business website needs helps you keep the list short.
- Features: contact forms, galleries, booking links, integrations with other services.
- Content: whether text and photos are ready or still need to be written and gathered.
- Custom functionality such as accounts, databases, or payments, which is closer to building an application.
- Rounds of revisions.

Ongoing costs
A site also has running costs paid to other providers: the domain renewal every year, and hosting or email plans if the site needs paid ones. Domain registration and paid third-party services, like premium hosting or email plans, are billed separately where required. Running a website without a monthly fee explains which of these you actually need.
How to keep the cost down
- Start with the pages visitors actually need, and add more later.
- Have your text and photos ready before design starts.
- Agree the page list and features in writing before work begins.
- Leave logins and payments for a later phase unless the business depends on them.
Common questions
Are there monthly fees?
Not from Northframe. The package price is one-time. Third-party services such as the domain registrar or a paid email plan bill you directly. A website builder works the other way: a plan paid for as long as the site is online.
What if I need more than the package includes?
If a request goes beyond your package, the price is updated and you approve it before work continues.
