Affordable web design for small businesses

Question 1

1. How much does it cost to build a website?

Answer

Pricing varies based on complexity. Though our belief is that even a complex website build should not exceed $3,000 is cost. At Market Boxx we offer transparent pricing on building websites. The prices scale up depending on what you need. Landing page sites or five-page sites are very affordable, while a fully set up ecommerce site of eight to ten pages could be anywhere from $2,500 to $3,000 in price, not more. Moreover, once you have a site, it will need to be optimized so that your customers can find it and you’ll need to maintain it monthly, add content to it to establish your authority online and Market Boxx does this all for our clients with our Tiered Packages. Our Starter Package delivers a fully built three-page website, optimized for search, monthly SEO, monthly website maintenance, monthly content creation, monthly email newsletter and video creation & marketing for less than $2,000 monthly. Go to our pricing page for more details on each of our packages. We challenge overpriced agency norms by delivering full-service excellence at roughly half the cost of traditional providers.
