What it actually costs

Every page below opens with the number, gives the bands behind it, names what moves it, and says when the cheaper option is the right one. Ranges rather than false precision, and no figure we cannot stand behind.

How much does a business website cost?

A business website in the US costs between $3,000 and $60,000, and most of the difference is content and integrations rather than design. A small brochure site on a customised template runs $3,000 to $12,000. A marketing site with a proper content system, custom design, and a few integrations lands between $15,000 and $45,000. Above that you are usually paying for content production, multiple languages, or complex functionality.

$3,000 – $12,000 to $45,000 – $120,000

How much does an ecommerce website cost?

An ecommerce site costs between $8,000 and $150,000 to build in the US, and the platform decides more of that than the design does. A Shopify store with a customised theme runs $8,000 to $35,000. A Shopify Plus or BigCommerce build with integrations lands between $40,000 and $90,000. Adobe Commerce starts higher and adds infrastructure cost, which is why it only makes sense with catalog or B2B complexity to justify it.

$8,000 – $35,000 to $90,000 – $250,000+

How much does it cost to hire a developer?

Hiring a developer in the US costs $45 to $120 per hour through a vetted marketplace, $100 to $200 per hour through an agency, or $85,000 to $175,000 in base salary for a full-time hire. The full-time number is the one most often understated: benefits, payroll taxes, equipment, and management overhead add 25 to 40 percent on top of base, and you carry that whether or not there is work that month.

$45 – $120 / hour to $85,000 – $175,000 base

How much do managed IT services cost?

Managed IT services in the US cost $100 to $200 per user per month for full coverage, or $50 to $150 per device where the provider prices that way. The number only means something alongside the service level: response and resolution times by severity, who declares an incident critical, and what sits outside the scope. Two providers quoting the same monthly fee frequently cover very different ground.

$50 – $100 / user / month to Variable

How much does UI/UX design cost?

UI/UX design in the US costs $50 to $140 per hour, or $8,000 to $60,000 for a defined project. A focused app or product redesign with research, flows, and a component set typically lands between $20,000 and $45,000. The variable that moves the number most is research: designers who talk to users and can defend a decision cost more per hour and usually reduce total build cost by removing features nobody needed.

$3,000 – $12,000 to $35,000 – $90,000

How much does AI development cost?

A production AI feature costs $25,000 to $120,000 to build in the US, plus ongoing model spend that depends entirely on usage. A retrieval-based assistant over your own documents typically runs $30,000 to $70,000 including evaluation. An agent that takes actions in your systems starts higher because permissions, logging, and failure handling are most of the work. Prototypes cost a fraction of these numbers, which is exactly why they mislead teams about timelines.

$5,000 – $20,000 to $70,000 – $200,000+
