The Formula

Formula Overview:

Total Website Cost = (Pages × Complexity Rate) + eCommerce Addon + (Pages × Copywriting Rate) + SEO Addon

Complexity Rate: Basic = $100/page, Standard = $220/page, Custom = $450/page
eCommerce Addon: $1,500 flat fee
Copywriting Rate: $80/page if requested
SEO Addon: $500 flat fee

Example Calculation

If you want a 10-page website with Standard Design ($220/page), eCommerce integration ($1,500), and SEO Setup ($500), but you write the content yourself:
Base: 10 pages × $220 = $2,200 | Addons: $1,500 (eCommerce) + $500 (SEO) = $2,000 | Total = $4,200
This gives a calculated range of $4,200 to $5,250 to account for revision and deployment buffers.
