Let’s get real — everyone wants a stunning business website, but no one wants to talk about price… until they really need one. So let’s break it down.
In Los Angeles, the cost of a website can vary wildly depending on your needs, goals, and whether you’re building it with your nephew or hiring a branding team that actually knows what they’re doing.
Website Pricing Breakdown (2025):
| Type | Estimated Cost | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| DIY with Wix/Squarespace | $0 – $300/year | A template. That’s it. Good luck. |
| Freelancer (cheap) | $500 – $1,500 | Basic site. Often generic. No support. |
| Professional Designer | $1,500 – $5,000 | Custom design, brand-aligned |
| Full Branding + Web Dev | $5,000 – $15,000+ | Strategy, copy, logo, SEO, maintenance |
But What Do You Really Need?
If you’re a small LA business, here’s the truth:
You don’t just need a website. You need a digital presence that reflects your brand, connects with your audience, and converts visitors into buyers.
That means:
- Custom design
- Mobile optimization
- Fast loading
- SEO setup
- Branding consistency
Hidden Costs People Forget About:
- Hosting & domain
- Copywriting (content creation) (yes, words matter)
- Logo design
- Photography or stock images
- Updates, backups & maintenance, unless you are a website guru, yes, you need someone to take care of your website running smooth
Final Thoughts:
If you care about your business, don’t go for the cheapest option.
In LA, first impressions matter — and your website is your first impression.
