One-time build
Planning, responsive design, implementation, the agreed pages, testing, revision allowance and launch tasks.
Transparent website pricing
Compare website costs by scope, currency and ongoing responsibility.
A website builder subscription, a theme setup and a custom done-for-you build are different products. This guide separates the first build from content, integrations, software and ongoing growth so small businesses can compare like with like.

Four cost groups
Put every cost in the right column before comparing totals.
Content and assets
Copywriting, photography, illustration, product entry, translation and legal wording may be supplied by you or scoped separately.
Recurring software
Domain, hosting, ecommerce platforms, paid apps, booking tools, email services and maintenance are separate unless written into the quote.
Growth after launch
Ongoing SEO, content, advertising, conversion testing and support are not hidden inside the first-release build price.
Quote checklist
Get the responsibilities in writing.
A precise small scope is safer than an impressive number with unclear boundaries.
Pages and actions
List the pages, forms, bookings, products and integrations required for the first useful release.
Content ownership
Confirm who supplies final copy, images, products, translations, policies and access.
Recurring charges
Record domain, hosting, platform, apps, processing and maintenance separately.
Launch and handover
Confirm testing, redirects, analytics, ownership, support window and change requests.
Cost FAQ
Short answers before you compare.
What does the SIX9 Starter Website include?
It starts at 150 in the market currency for up to three focused pages, responsive custom design and build, an enquiry path, on-page SEO foundations and one consolidated revision round. Final inclusions are confirmed in writing.
Why does the same website cost differ between providers?
The page count may look similar while strategy, copy, imagery, custom functionality, integrations, revision rounds, testing, ownership, support and recurring software differ. Compare the written responsibilities, not only the total.
Are domain and hosting included?
No. Domain, hosting and paid third-party services are separate unless the written scope explicitly includes them.
Does a low website price guarantee a low lifetime cost?
No. A low initial amount can still carry software subscriptions, paid apps, maintenance, transaction fees or later migration work. Keep one-time and recurring costs on separate lines.
