How much should a one-page website cost? (2026)
A one-page website costs from about US$0–40 a month if you build it yourself on a builder, from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars if you hire a freelancer, and usually US$3,000 or more from an agency. Fixed-price done-for-you services sit in between: ours is US$235 once, live in one business day, and you pay only after you see the finished preview.
How much does a one-page website cost in 2026?
Expect to pay about US$17–40 a month on a website builder[1], US$500 to US$10,000+ for a freelancer and US$3,000 to US$30,000+ for an agency, according to WebFX's data from more than 2,000 businesses[2]. A simple one-page site sits at the low end of each range, because the price follows the number of pages and features.
What pushes a one-page site up: a custom design rather than a template, someone writing the words for you, booking or shop features, and a rush deadline. What brings it down: a ready-made template, and your own text and photos. Clutch, a review site for agencies, says most web design projects it reviews cost less than US$10,000[3].
What is a one-page website, and what should it include?
A one-page website puts everything on a single scrolling page: what you do, why people should pick you, proof such as photos and reviews, where you work and a clear way to get in touch. For a small business with one to three core services, that is usually all a customer needs to decide to call.
- A headline that says what you do and where.
- Your services, one short block each.
- Photos of real work, not just stock images.
- Real reviews, or a link to your Google profile.
- The areas you serve, or your address.
- Prices, or “from” prices if you can.
- One main button: call, WhatsApp, a form or a booking link.
What one page doesn't do well: many separate services that each need to rank in search, a blog, or a shop with many products. See websites for your trade, with live demos for what a good one-page site looks like in practice.
One-page website cost: builder vs freelancer vs agency vs done-for-you
Building it yourself is cheapest in cash but costs your time; a freelancer or agency does it for you at a higher one-time price; a fixed-price done-for-you service gives you a finished site for a set price. The table compares all four on price, running costs, speed and who does the work.
| DIY website builder | Freelancer | Agency | Done-for-you (Magic Dev Studio) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up-front cost | US$0 on Wix's free plan, but a free site carries Wix branding and lives on a Wix address (username.wixsite.com/sitename), not a domain of your own, so it isn't a real business site[1] | US$500 to US$10,000+[2] | US$3,000 to US$30,000+[2]; most Clutch-reviewed projects under US$10,000[3] | US$235 once |
| Ongoing cost | About US$17–40 a month for a paid plan with your own domain (Wix Light to Business, billed yearly; prices vary by country)[1]; Wix, Squarespace and Webflow about US$15–19 a month billed yearly (our 2026 builder comparison) | Hosting + domain; maintenance often charged extra (ask) | Often a monthly care plan (ask) | Your own domain + hosting, about US$20–60 a year |
| Typical hourly rate | None: it's your own time | Clutch: agencies that build on Wix, WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow or Shopify charge about US$25–49 an hour (the closest public proxy for freelancer rates)[3] | Clutch-shortlisted web design firms: about US$100–149 an hour[3] | Fixed price, no hourly billing |
| Who writes and designs | You | The freelancer (check if copywriting is included) | The agency team | We do, from your details |
| Time to go live | Depends on your free time | Ask; no sourced average is published | Clutch's average reviewed project runs 7 months, but that average includes large builds[3] | 1 business day after you send your details; pay after you approve the preview |
| Best for | You enjoy design and have a free weekend | You want a custom design and a person to call | Larger sites, brand work, integrations | You want a good one-page site fast, at a fixed price |

How much does Wix or GoDaddy cost for a one-page website?
Wix has a free plan, and its paid plans with your own domain start at about US$17 a month billed yearly (Light), with prices varying by country[1]. GoDaddy's builder is also priced per month; check its current price on godaddy.com, because intro prices usually rise at renewal. For the full Wix, Squarespace, Webflow and Hostinger numbers, see our 2026 builder comparison.
How much does a freelancer charge for a one-page website?
Freelancers price web design anywhere from about US$500 to US$10,000+, according to WebFX[2], so a one-page site from a freelancer usually costs a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, depending on the country and how custom it is. Ask for a fixed quote that lists what's included.
One example: one UK studio, Mapletree, lists custom one-page sites at £400–800 on its blog (one studio's own price list). Before you agree, ask three things: is copywriting included, who owns the domain, and what do changes cost after launch?
How much does an agency charge for a one-page website?
Agencies usually start around US$3,000 for design work[2], and Clutch says most web design projects it reviews cost under US$10,000[3]. You pay for a team (designer, writer, developer, project manager), which matters more on big sites than on one page.
What does a one-page website cost per year to keep online?
After launch you pay for a domain name and hosting every year, plus any email inboxes and paid changes. On a builder, hosting is part of the monthly plan; with a freelancer, agency or done-for-you site you usually pay the domain and hosting separately.
- Domain name: WebFX puts it at US$1–12 a year[2]; cheap first-year prices often rise at renewal.
- Hosting: WebFX's range is huge[2], but a simple one-page site needs only basic hosting.
- Email inboxes: optional, usually charged per inbox.
- Changes after launch: ask the price up front.
- With us: your own domain and hosting, in your name, about US$20–60 a year; we tell you the exact cost before you buy.
Over three years, builder plans on Wix, Squarespace or Webflow add up to roughly US$540–690 (our builder comparison); a one-time build plus domain and hosting can land in the same range or below, so compare totals, not the first payment.
Why do one-page website quotes vary so much from country to country?
Mostly because of hourly rates: the same hours of work cost several times more in the US or Australia than in India or the Philippines. Clutch's 2026 pricing data shows typical web design rates by country[3].
| Where the designer is based | Typical web design agency rate |
|---|---|
| United States, Canada, Australia | US$100–149 / hour |
| United Kingdom | US$50–99 / hour |
| Ukraine, Poland, Spain, Mexico | US$25–49 / hour |
| India, the Philippines | under US$25 / hour |

Cheaper isn't worse and dearer isn't better; ask how many hours the quote assumes and what's included.
Is a one-page website enough for a small business?
Yes, for most small businesses with one to three main services: one clear page answers what customers need to decide to call. Move to more pages when you want separate services to rank on their own, run a blog or sell many products online.
Most small businesses now build simply: in Clutch's 2025 survey of 406 US owners, DIY builders such as Wix and Squarespace power 41% of sites launched in the past year, and only 12% are custom-built. A one-page site can grow, too; ask whether pages can be added later and what that costs. See one-page demos for physiotherapists, dog groomers and mobile mechanics.
How to hire someone to build your one-page website (checklist)
Get two or three fixed quotes that say exactly what's included, who owns the domain, what it costs per year to run and how changes are charged. Pick the one whose finished examples you like, not just the cheapest.
- A fixed price, in writing.
- Copywriting included, or not.
- The domain registered in your name.
- The yearly running cost, stated up front.
- The number of revision rounds.
- How fast it goes live.
- Whether you can see the work before you pay in full.

Questions
One-page website cost questions
What is the cheapest way to get a one-page website?
A free builder plan costs nothing, but on Wix, for example, the free plan doesn't come with your own domain. The cheapest professional-looking option is usually a paid builder plan you set up yourself, or a fixed-price done-for-you site if you'd rather not spend the time.
How long does it take to build a one-page website?
It depends on who builds it: on a builder, as long as your free time allows; freelancers and agencies set their own schedules, so ask for a date in the quote. Ours goes live one business day after you send your details.
Do I own my one-page website and domain?
You should. Make sure the domain is registered in your name and that you can move the site if you leave. With us, the domain and hosting are in your name.
Is a one-page website bad for SEO?
No. One page can rank for your business name and your main service in your area. If you want several different services to rank on their own, give each its own page later.
Is a one-time price cheaper than a monthly builder plan?
Often, over a few years. Builder plans run about US$15–19 a month billed yearly on Wix, Squarespace or Webflow, roughly US$540–690 over three years; a one-time build still needs a domain and hosting, so compare three-year totals.
Can I add more pages later?
Yes. A one-page site can grow into a multi-page one. Ask up front what extra pages cost; we quote them separately.
