Main idea
The right website price depends on the project scope, not just how the website looks or how many pages it has.

Key takeaway
There is no single standard price for a business website. A focused one-page website can cost much less than a multi-page site, while ecommerce stores and custom web applications cost more because they involve additional functionality, setup, and testing.
One of the first questions business owners ask me is, “How much does a website cost?” It is an important question, especially when you are comparing freelancers, agencies, packages, and different ways of building a website.
From my experience as a web developer, the most useful way to answer it is not to start with a random price range. I first look at the pages, content, forms, ecommerce requirements, integrations, timeline, and the result the website needs to support.
How Much Does a Website Cost in the Philippines?
A small service business that needs one focused page with its services, contact information, trust details, and an inquiry form has a very different scope from a company that needs separate service pages, a portfolio, booking features, an online store, or a custom dashboard.
That is why web design pricing in the Philippines can vary significantly. The cost is usually influenced by the amount of design, development, content preparation, functionality, testing, and support required to launch the website properly.
Instead of asking only, “What is the cheapest website I can get?”, I recommend asking, “What does my business actually need the website to accomplish?”
PageCraft Digital Website Pricing in 2026
To give business owners a practical reference point, these are the current starting prices shown on my PageCraft Digital pricing page.
Many potential customers want to know who they are dealing with before they submit an inquiry, book a service, or make a purchase. This is especially important for service providers, local companies, consultants, contractors, and online businesses.
A useful About page may include:
- The history of the business
- The experience of the owner or team
- The company’s mission and values
- The people behind the business
- Relevant qualifications or certifications
- The types of customers the business serves
- What makes the business different
The About page should not be filled with vague statements such as “We are passionate about quality” without explaining what that means.
It should include specific details that make the business feel real and credible.
For a solo service provider, the page may focus on the owner’s background, skills, experience, and approach. For a larger company, it may introduce the team, company history, and areas of expertise.
The goal is not simply to talk about the business. The page should also help customers understand how that experience benefits them.
A Services or Products Page Explains What the Business Offers
The Services or Products page is one of the most important pages on a business website.
One-page business website
The introductory price is ₱9,999, with a regular price of ₱12,000. This is intended for businesses that need one focused page with the main information customers need before sending an inquiry.
2–4 page business website
A standard multi-page business website starts from ₱15,000+. This works well when the business needs separate core pages such as Home, About, Services, and Contact.
5–8 page business website
A larger standard business website starts from ₱22,000+. This is more suitable for businesses with several services, stronger content requirements, portfolio sections, FAQs, galleries, or other detailed pages.
WooCommerce and custom web applications
Ecommerce websites are quoted by scope rather than page count. Current PageCraft pricing starts around ₱25,000–₱40,000 for WooCommerce projects, while custom web applications or systems start around ₱40,000–₱80,000+.
These are PageCraft Digital starting prices, not a claim that every freelancer or web design company in the Philippines charges the same amount. The final quote depends on the actual project requirements.
What Affects the Price of a Website?
The number of pages
More pages normally mean more layouts, content, responsive adjustments, links, SEO setup, and testing. However, page count is only part of the price. One complicated page can require more work than several simple pages.
How ready the content is
A project is easier to build when the logo, photos, service information, pricing, contact details, and other content are already prepared. If the content still needs to be organized or rewritten, that adds work to the project.
Forms and website features
A standard inquiry form is relatively straightforward. Booking systems, conditional forms, file uploads, customer accounts, approval workflows, dashboards, or automated processes require additional development and testing.
Ecommerce requirements
An online store may need product setup, payment methods, shipping rules, coupons, customer accounts, stock management, order emails, product variations, and checkout testing. Those requirements make ecommerce projects different from standard business websites.
Custom integrations
Connecting a website to a CRM, API, automation tool, third-party platform, database, or internal business workflow can increase the scope considerably. These projects are normally priced around features rather than just the number of pages.
What Other Website Costs Should You Expect?
Website development is only one part of the total cost. Before approving a quotation, check whether the following are included or charged separately:
- Domain registration and renewal
- Website hosting
- SSL certificate
- Business email or webmail
- Premium plugins or third-party subscriptions
- Website maintenance and future updates
- Content writing, photography, or other content production
- Advanced SEO or ongoing search optimization
For my standard PageCraft website packages, first-year domain, hosting, SSL, and webmail can be included in the starter setup. Renewal after the first year is quoted separately.
Is a Cheap Website Always a Better Deal?
A lower-cost website can be the right choice when the business genuinely needs a smaller scope. I do not think every business needs a large website from the beginning.
The problem is when the price becomes low because important work is being removed. A website may look acceptable on desktop but have weak mobile layouts, unclear content, unreliable forms, poor structure, no basic SEO setup, or little support after launch.
I would rather launch a smaller website that is complete, clear, responsive, and useful than stretch the same budget across pages and features the business does not really need.

What Should Be Included in a Website Quote?
A clear quotation makes it easier to compare providers based on what is actually included instead of comparing the final price alone.
I recommend checking for:
- The number of pages or agreed project scope
- The forms and functionality included
- Responsive design for desktop, tablet, and mobile
- Domain, hosting, SSL, and email inclusions
- Revision rounds before launch
- Basic SEO setup
- Project timeline
- Post-launch support
- Renewal and ongoing costs
The more clearly these items are defined before the project starts, the less likely it is that unexpected costs or misunderstandings will appear later.
How Should a Small Business Choose a Website Budget?
Start by separating the features the business needs now from the features that can be added later.
A new service business may only need a strong homepage or a few core pages, clear services, trust information, and an inquiry form. A growing business with several services may benefit from separate pages so customers and search engines can understand each offer more clearly.
Ecommerce, memberships, booking systems, dashboards, custom workflows, and advanced integrations should be budgeted separately because they require more development and testing.
My advice is to choose a budget that allows the essential parts of the website to be completed properly. The goal is not to spend as little as possible or build the largest website you can afford. It is to invest in a website that explains the business clearly, builds trust, works properly on different devices, and helps visitors take the next step.
