Small business website cost
Updated
A simple website can cost as little as $17 a month if you build it yourself, and more than $10,000 in total if you bring in experts. That is from Wix's 2026 website cost guide. PageCrisp builds and runs a small shop's website from $9.99 a month plus a one-time $49.99 setup.
Checked November 2026. PageCrisp is not affiliated with Wix. Every outside price here is linked below the table.
Most small shops pick one of four routes. Build it yourself on a website builder for a monthly fee. Hire a web designer or developer for a one-time price. Hire an agency, which often has the biggest first bill. Or pay PageCrisp a flat monthly price, and we build the site, host it, and make your changes for you.

A coffee shop pays the same prices as any small shop. What changes is the size of the site. A one-page site with your hours, address, and phone is PageCrisp's Presence plan at $9.99 a month. A full site with your menu is the Shop plan at $29.99 a month. Each has a one-time $49.99 setup.

Wix has a free plan. Its plans page says a paid plan lets you connect your own domain and remove Wix branding. On a free plan you also build the site and make every change yourself. PageCrisp's lowest plan is $9.99 a month plus the one-time $49.99 setup, and we do the work.
Price is one part of the cost. Your own time is the other. Here is the work that stays with you on each route.
You build the site yourself. You also make every change yourself, each time something like your hours or your menu changes.
They build it. You still find the person and tell them what you want. Ask who makes changes later, and what each one costs.
A team builds it. You still pick the agency and tell them what you want. Ask what upkeep costs each month.

Every plan includes a website we build, host, and keep up. There is no separate build fee. Presence and Shop each carry a one-time $49.99 setup. Service has no setup fee. Unlimited small changes on every plan, one at a time, done the same business day. Bigger jobs, like a redesign, are a top-up.
