‘How much does a website cost?’ is the question every web agency gets asked first — and most agencies are evasive about answering it. We’re going to answer it directly, with real price ranges and an honest explanation of what affects the cost.
We are Hopeleaf Technologies, a WordPress agency based in Surat, India. We serve clients in India and internationally. Everything in this article reflects how we price projects in 2026.
What Determines the Cost of a WordPress Website?
Before the numbers, it’s important to understand the four factors that move the price of a WordPress project:
- Number of pages — a 5-page site costs less than a 20-page site
- Design approach — using an existing template costs less than a custom Figma design built from scratch
- Functionality required — a brochure site costs less than a WooCommerce store or a site with booking systems, CPTs, or API integrations
- Content — a site where the client provides all content costs less than one where the agency writes everything
