Website cost estimator
What drives the price of a landing site, online store or marketplace.
Tools · Cost & budget
The cost of a website depends on three things: the type of site (landing site, online store or marketplace), the number of pages and the features you need (forms, payments, multilingual, blog). This guide shows what raises the budget and how to estimate realistically before you start. On 4shopy you can build a landing site yourself at a predictable cost, without an agency.
- Site type: a landing site (the most affordable), an online store or a marketplace.
- Number of pages and the volume of content to write (text, images, video).
- Features: contact forms, online payments, bookings, blog, multilingual.
- Recurring upkeep: domain, hosting, content updates.
How does it work?
Start from the type of site: a landing site costs the least; an online store adds a catalog, cart and payments; a marketplace adds vendor accounts and commissions.
Add up the essential pages: home, about, services/products, contact. Every extra content page increases the writing effort.
List the features you want (forms, online payments, bookings, blog, a multilingual version) — each one adds setup time.
Add the recurring costs: domain, hosting and the time spent updating content. A site built on a predictable builder costs far less than an agency.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a simple landing site cost?
A landing site with 5-7 pages (home, about, services, blog, contact) is the most affordable option. With a builder such as 4shopy you can publish it yourself at a predictable monthly cost for domain and hosting, with no agency fee.
Why does an online store cost more?
A store adds a product catalog, a shopping cart, payment processing and order management. Those features need extra setup and, usually, richer content (descriptions and images for every product).
What recurring costs do I have after launch?
The usual costs are the domain (yearly), hosting (monthly or yearly) and the time spent updating content. A SaaS builder normally includes hosting and updates, which makes the budget easier to predict.
Does going multilingual add a lot to the cost?
A multilingual version doubles the amount of copy to write and requires per-language routes and hreflang tags to be configured. On 4shopy the multilingual structure is supported natively, so the main effort stays the translation itself.
