How Much Does a Small Business Website Cost in Philadelphia?

A small business website from MCDNS in Philadelphia starts from $1,200 for a single landing page and from $1,800 for a full site. Where your project lands depends on the platform, the number of pages and what the site has to do. Below are our starting prices, what moves them, and what you keep paying after launch.

The short answer

These are our current starting prices. Each one is a "from" price, not a fixed quote.

• Landing page: from $1,200

• Website on Wix: from $1,800

• Website on Framer: from $3,000

• Website on Webflow: from $4,500

• Website redesign: from $3,500

• Website care plan with hosting: from $99 a month

The final price depends on scope. We fix it in writing before any work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

What moves the price

Six things do most of the work.

• The number of pages. More pages mean more design, more text and more testing.

• Custom design or a starting template. A custom design takes longer and looks like no one else.

• Who writes the text. If we write it, that is added work. If you bring it, the price drops.

• Selling or booking online. A store or a booking flow adds setup and testing.

• Connections to other tools. Linking the site to your CRM, email list or payment system takes time.

• How fast you need it. A rushed timeline costs more than a normal one.

When you compare quotes, ask which of these are included. A low price often means some of them are missing.

How the platform changes the cost

The platform is the tool your site is built on. It affects the build price and how easy the site is for you to edit later.

Wix suits a small site that the owner wants to update without help. Its editor is simple, and that keeps the build price lower.

Framer suits a business that wants a custom look and smooth motion. Editing text and images is simple once the site is built.

Webflow suits larger sites with many content types, such as a catalog or a resource library. It gives the most design control and takes the most build time.

WordPress is widely used and has a plugin for most needs. It also needs regular updates, so plan for upkeep.

We build on Wix, Framer and Webflow, and we tell you which one fits before we quote. The right choice is the one you can keep up to date after launch.

What you pay after launch

A website has running costs. Plan for three.

• A domain name, renewed every year.

• A platform or hosting plan, paid monthly or yearly to the platform you chose.

• Upkeep: updates, small edits and fixes.

Platform fees go to the platform, not to us, and they change over time. Check the current plans before you choose. For upkeep, our website care plan with hosting starts from $99 a month.

Is the price different in Philadelphia?

Our starting prices are the same whether you are in Center City, South Jersey or Wilmington. We are based in Philadelphia and work with businesses across Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, and with remote clients.

What changes for a local business is the content, not the price. Your site should show your address or service area, your hours and your phone number, and it should say clearly which towns you serve. That helps nearby customers and search engines understand where you work.

Three ways to keep the budget down

Bring your own text and photos. Writing and image sourcing are real hours, and you know your business better than anyone.

Launch with fewer pages. A clear home page, a services page and a contact page can go live first, and the rest can follow.

Decide quickly in review rounds. Slow or scattered feedback stretches a project, and a longer project costs more.

If you already have a site, a website redesign keeps what works and fixes what does not. If you only need design pieces such as a logo or business cards, our design packages have their own starting prices.

What to ask any agency before you sign

Use the same five questions with every agency you speak to, including us.

• Who owns the site, the domain and the content when the project ends?

• How many rounds of revisions are included?

• What is the timeline, and what do you need from me to keep it?

• Who can edit the site after launch, and will you show me how?

• What happens after launch if something breaks?

Get the answers in writing. A good agency will not mind, and the answers make quotes much easier to compare.
