How Much Does a Company Website Cost? A 2026 Pricing Guide
"So how much does a website cost?" is one of the first questions a business asks the moment it decides to go digital. Unfortunately the answers circulating online tend to confuse rather than help: one vendor quotes Rp 500k, another quotes tens of millions. That is a twentyfold gap for something both parties call "a website". No wonder business owners hesitate — afraid of overpaying, but equally afraid of buying something cheap that ends up damaging the company’s image.
This article breaks down what actually determines the cost of a company website, what a reasonable price range looks like in 2026, and — most importantly — what you should be getting for the money you spend. The goal is simple: to let you assess a quote with a clear head, rather than chase the lowest number on the page.
Five Factors That Genuinely Determine Website Cost
A website price does not fall out of the sky. It is shaped by concrete decisions about scope, quality, and technical need. Understanding these five factors lets you read a quote and know exactly what you are paying for.
Page Count & Complexity
A five-page static site (Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Contact) is far lighter than one with a product catalogue, a member area, or a multi-category blog. Every extra function means extra design and development hours.
Design: Template vs Custom
An off-the-shelf template keeps the cost down but leaves your site looking like thousands of others. Custom design built around your brand identity takes more hours, but produces something that is genuinely yours and hard to copy.
Features & Integrations
A simple contact form is a world away from automated WhatsApp integration, a chatbot, online payments, a booking system, or a connection into CRM/ERP. The more systems that have to talk to each other, the higher the complexity.
Content & Materials
Are you supplying the copy, photos, and logo yourself, or do you need copywriting and product photography? Professional content production is a cost component that routinely goes missing from the first calculation.
Maintenance & Support
A live website needs care: security updates, routine backups, domain and hosting renewals, and fixes when something breaks. This cost is usually annual and should be clear from the outset, not a surprise a year later.
Reasonable Price Ranges for a Company Website in 2026
Here is a picture of the ranges by type of need. These are market figures for work done professionally — not absolute benchmarks, but enough to judge whether a quote in front of you makes sense.
Basic Company Profile
A 5–7 page site introducing the business: profile, services, portfolio, and contact. Suits SMEs or any business that needs a credible "digital business card". Reasonable range: roughly Rp 3–8M, including design, mobile-friendly layout, and basic SEO.
Premium Company Profile
Fully custom design on brand, an integrated blog, advanced forms, WhatsApp and analytics integration, and speed optimization. For businesses making the website their primary lead channel. Reasonable range: roughly Rp 8–20M.
Online Store / E-commerce
Product catalogue, shopping cart, online payments, stock management, and an admin panel. Complexity depends on product count and logistics/payment integrations. Reasonable range: from Rp 15M upward.
Web Application / Custom System
Dashboards, internal systems, customer portals, or platforms with specific business logic. Costed by functional scope, not "per page". Needs its own scoping exercise and proposal.
Why Transparent Pricing Matters More Than Cheap Pricing
The strongest temptation when buying a website is to chase the smallest number. The trouble is that a very low price almost always hides something: a generic template, no mobile optimization, no SEO foundation, or — most commonly — costs that only surface once the project is under way. "Oh, automated WhatsApp is extra. Oh, if you want the site to be fast, that is extra too."
The approach we take at TAB (Trengginas Alfath Berkarya) — an IT consultancy from Sidoarjo that has delivered digital projects for clients including Dharma Lautan Utama, Pelindo, and PSD — is transparent tiered pricing: you know exactly what each package includes before you sign anything. No surprise invoices halfway through. You can compare each tier side by side and pick the one that fits your budget and your requirements. See the website package details to compare them directly.
What Should Already Be Included
A company website built properly should already cover the following as standard — not as paid add-ons:
Responsive design that holds up on phones, tablets, and desktops (most of your visitors arrive on a phone).
Speed optimization so pages open in seconds — a direct factor in both visitor experience and Google ranking.
Technical SEO basics: heading structure, meta descriptions, a sitemap, and clean URLs so your business can be found.
Contact integration that makes it easy for prospects to reach you — a WhatsApp button, a form, or click-to-call.
Basic security (HTTPS/SSL) and correctly configured domain and hosting.
A handover or short guide so you can update basic content yourself, plus clarity on ongoing maintenance.
