Website cost calculator

It gives you a realistic band to budget against, not a quote. A calculator can weigh the things that reliably move cost — page count, CMS needs, integrations and whether an existing site has to be migrated — but it cannot see your content readiness, how many stakeholders review each round, or the edge cases in your workflow. Treat the range as a sanity check before conversations with studios, and expect a scoped quote to land somewhere inside it once discovery is done.

Because they are almost never for the same scope. One quote may include content strategy, accessibility work, a documented CMS and handover; another prices a theme install with your copy pasted in. Before comparing numbers, ask each provider what is explicitly excluded — that single question usually explains the entire gap.

No. All figures shown are AUD ex GST, matching standard Australian B2B quoting practice. Always confirm whether a quote you receive elsewhere is GST-inclusive before comparing it against these ranges, because a 10% difference is easily mistaken for a scope difference.

Ongoing costs after launch: domain renewal, hosting, and any support or content-update arrangement. Custom photography and illustration are usually scoped separately, as is content writing where you do not have a content owner internally. Paid advertising and ongoing SEO are separate engagements entirely.

Often yes, at the same page count, because a redesign is also a migration. Every indexed URL needs a decision and a redirect, and content parity has to be preserved on the pages that already earn enquiries. A greenfield build has no existing rankings to protect, which removes a whole category of work.

Yes, after discovery rather than before it. A fixed price quoted against an undefined scope tends to produce change requests instead of certainty, because the unknowns surface during the build rather than in the estimate. Devoq quotes fixed scope once the page structure, content ownership and integrations are settled.
