How much does a website cost?
A website from Kwebby starts at $100 for a one-page site or landing page, and most small-business websites cost $799 – $3,000. A custom business website with a CMS and up to 5 pages starts at $799.
E-commerce stores start at $1,499 because they need product pages, checkout, payments, shipping rules and order emails. Web apps and SaaS products start at $2,499 because they add user accounts, a database and custom logic.
Website redesigns start at $599 for up to 5 existing pages. Every price above is a starting point, and your fixed quote confirms the exact cost after a free call.
How much does an app cost?
App development cost with Kwebby starts at $400 for a simple mobile app with up to 3 core screens on one platform. A cross-platform React Native app with up to 8 core screens, user login and a managed backend starts at $2,999, and apps with payments, maps, chat or custom backends sit higher in the $2,999 – $15,000 range. Desktop apps start at $600 for one operating system.
MVPs for startups start at $3,499. An MVP costs more than a basic app because it includes product scoping, a clickable prototype, a backend, an admin panel and analytics, so founders can launch and learn from real users.
Complex apps start at $7,999. Fintech, marketplace and on-demand apps need secure money flows, real-time features, more user roles and partner integrations, and each one adds design, build and testing time.
What affects website and app development cost
Five factors decide most of the price. Kwebby lists each one in your quote, so you can see where the money goes.
Content also affects the price. If Kwebby writes your page copy or migrates hundreds of products or posts, the quote shows that work as a separate line.
- Size: the number of pages, screens or user types
- Features: logins, payments, booking, search, chat or dashboards
- Integrations: CRMs, booking tools, payment providers, bank APIs or practice management software
- Design: an adapted layout or a fully custom design system
- Platforms and compliance: web, iOS, Android or desktop, plus needs such as HIPAA-aware forms or PCI DSS scope
How the 10/40/50 payment split works
Kwebby splits every project payment into three parts. You pay 10% to start, 40% at the midway milestone and 50% on delivery.
This schedule keeps your risk low. You see working previews in the client portal before the midway payment, and you pay half the total only after the project is delivered.
For example, a $2,000 website costs $200 to start, $800 at the midway milestone and $1,000 on delivery. The fixed quote lists each amount and milestone before work begins.
Ongoing costs after launch
Kwebby does not charge a monthly fee to keep your site or app online. You pay third-party providers directly for the services your project uses.
Kwebby lists the expected third-party costs during scoping, so your budget covers the full first year. You decide whether to add a maintenance plan after launch.
- Domain name: about $10–$20 per year for a .com address
- Hosting: about $5–$30 per month for a small business site, and more for web apps as traffic grows
- App stores: Apple charges $99 per year, and Google Play charges a one-time $25 fee
- Third-party tools: Shopify plans, booking software, email platforms and payment processing fees
- Optional maintenance: updates, backups, security patches and new features
How to get an accurate quote
A clear brief gets a clear price. Before your free call, write down your goals, the pages or screens you need and the tools the project must connect to.
Examples help too. Share two or three sites or apps you like and explain what you like about each one.
Kwebby turns that brief into a fixed quote with milestones, a timeline and a payment schedule. Calls run Mon–Fri, 9 AM – 6 PM ET.
