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".

@pointandstare and a 1999 Toyota Corolla and 2016 M5 both have power door locks, air conditioning, and an automatic transmission. They both get you to and from work. But man, are they two different experiences. This tool is really well done, but for $12,000 I doubt you're getting research, moodboards, wireframes, content written, rounds and rounds of custom design iteration, etc.

@lancescadden why? Have car prices not changed since then?

@lancescadden You should probably tell that to everyone buying $20k+ websites out there.

@lancescadden How much do you think a website should cost? It's a "thing" with incredibly slippery slopes. A website could be a simple ThemeForest theme with slight iterations and stock images. Or it could require research, user testing, copywriting, photography, videography, content strategy, advertising, community management... the list goes on and on. You can't put a static value on something that varies so greatly.

Is there anyway to see what each feature is roughly valued at? @mikaelcho I feel like I've been way undercharging lol

@davidmaliglowka @mikaelcho You can breakdown the price at the result page.

@mmt @mikaelcho I only see the option to see what you selected. I'm more curious what the price range is for an individual aspect like having a CMS

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 🙌

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

@mikaelcho Just amazing. I'm in the market to get something built, and now I'm suddenly the expert among my friends and colleagues for quotes on projects. This helps out a lot. Great job!

@mikaelcho I'd love to see the final outcome to display a spec sheet of the answers I selected. That way, if I did direct a potential client to the site, they'd have something to send to me.

@gmgrimley Hey Gabe! Thanks for giving it a go. If you click 'Show Breakdown' at the end (http://cl.ly/3A3N3E2A2m0K) it should give you a list of the things selected. Does that help?

@mikaelcho Hey look at that. Perfect. I might have been blinded by the 0's I've been missing on my quotes I send out.

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.).

@nick88msn thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts, Nicola, really appreciated. We do have plans to customise it even further and add more filtering options in the future. However, for this version, we used our data and experience from receiving +10K submissions at Crew. And given a significant portion of our projects come from US and Canada, it will probably not reflect 100% accuracy when compared with other countries, such as Spain (as in @miguelnicer's comment below). But we thought it could at least give an idea about the cost breakdown and serve as a starting point. Thanks!

"Do you want to add social sharing buttons?" Okay that will be $2,000 dollars more. Haha! The prices seem like they're on the high end for the simplest site. If it includes many design iterations and other marketing work then yeah I can see where the numbers come from. Should probably charge more if that's the case.
