How much does a website cost?

In my 20 years in the online industry, I get asked this question a lot: "How much is a website?" To which my answer is always "The same price as a car".

Pricing is tricky business. So over a year ago we made a tool to help you figure out how much any app idea is supposed to cost. It was called How Much To Make An App (http://howmuchtomakeanapp.com). Since then, over 1 million app makers, entrepreneurs, and businesses have used it to put a dollar figure to an idea. Today, we're happy to ship 'How Much Does a Website Cost' out the door. It's based on budgets from 10,000+ project submissions on Crew to give you an even better idea of cost. And you can evolve your idea until it fits within your budget by selecting features and taking them away until your idea has what you need for the right price. The budgets aren't necessarily specific to how much it costs to work with an agency, studio, or freelancer (we have a mix of studios, freelancers and agencies on Crew). The budgets are more meant to be ballpark ranges (not final estimates) based on averages we've seen and hitting a quality standard for the final product. Estimates can vary greatly depending on how you decide to execute on something and what your goal with the end product is (i.e. first version as a test, to be a best in class product right now, etc.). But these are the averages we've seen if you're aiming to build something right now that 's top quality. If you're building a website/web app or planning to, hopefully this is useful so you have a rough idea of ballpark pricing. Let us know if you have any feedback. Thanks a lot for taking the time to check it out. Mikael and the Crew team || http://crew.co

The team at Crew do it again. Last year @meseali wrote about how side project marketing has taken over from content marketing and he's totally right. https://medium.com/swlh/side-pro... What I love most about everything Crew do, is that they move fast, experiment, create super useful tools and always make them look beautiful. As a designer I really appreciate the love they put into polishing the details, and HMDAWC is no exception here. In terms of the tool, this makes total sense, both from a users perspective and for Crew. Obviously the numbers here are based around Crews pricing model, but having a simple checklist that I can point anyone who asks me how much does a website cost is really useful, this will enable them to think the details through more and get an idea of a rough cost to expect. I'll definitely be keeping this in mind next time a friend asks me this. Great work team 🙌

Great! Now every time somebody asks me how much it'll cost them to build a site I'll know where to send them.

The difference between having 'Social Sharing Features' and not is $2,000? :/

Very handy tool. True it's only an estimate and the quality of work can vary but this is a good starting point especially when you can see he break down.

It reminds me the app development estimates tool. Some of these things are in the Crewbot but at the end it looks more like an automated filter to avoid annoying clients rather than an useful tool for a client. Being outside US I've always find this tool not so accurate. I like the idea and I always think it should be more customazible (industry, client size, geographic coverage etc.).
