A useful website budget starts with the work your business needs the site to do. A three-page introduction, an appointment-based service website and a store with product options are different projects—even when all three look simple on the surface.
This guide helps you compare the scope behind a quote, separate project costs from ongoing expenses, and choose a starting point you can grow from.
Start with the customer journey
Before comparing prices, write down who will visit the site and what they should do next. A contractor may need visitors to request an estimate. A food business may need customers to browse products and place orders. A real estate professional may need buyers and sellers to book a conversation.
Then list the pages and functions required for that journey. “A five-page website” is not a complete specification: five pages of supplied text involve different work from five pages that need research, copywriting, custom graphics and an integration.
Current Naba website packages
Our packages provide starting points for a written proposal. The table below uses the same current prices as our pricing page, so you can compare the offers without relying on an old promotional image.
| Package | Starting price (USD) | Scope at a glance |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $400 | 3 custom pages |
| Professional | $549 | 5 pages and a content management panel |
| Business Pro | $649 | 8–10 pages with content management |
| Ecommerce | $699 | Up to 15 pages and 100 products |
| Pro Ecommerce | $899 | Unlimited pages, products and categories within the agreed project scope |
| Titanium | $1,099 | 15–20 custom pages and premium visual design |
Choose the package for its deliverables rather than its name. For example, a professional services business with five core pages may have different priorities from a retailer that needs a product catalog, checkout and inventory management. We confirm the final scope before work begins.
What changes the project price?
- Content preparation: whether you supply final text and photographs or need help organizing and creating them.
- Design requirements: a coordinated layout using an existing identity versus custom page compositions and new brand assets.
- Business functions: inquiry forms, booking, payments, customer accounts and connections to other tools.
- Catalog complexity: product quantities, variations, shipping requirements and the condition of existing product data.
- Migration work: reviewing old pages, moving useful content and mapping addresses that need redirects.
- Language coverage: translation, editing and checking the actual pages and forms in each language.
A short project brief makes these differences visible. Share your current website, the services or products you want to promote, examples of designs you like, and any systems the website needs to connect to.
Separate the build from ongoing expenses
A project fee and the cost of operating a website are separate decisions. Ask which of these items are included, which are optional and who pays the provider directly:
- Domain registration and hosting.
- Premium software licenses and external service subscriptions.
- Payment processing and transaction fees for a store.
- Content changes, software maintenance, backups and technical support.
- Advertising, ongoing SEO work and future feature development.
Our website maintenance offer is listed separately on the pricing page. Read its agreed service scope rather than assuming that every future change is part of the original build. For a WordPress site, also ask how both the files and database are protected; WordPress explains why both matter for recovery.
Compare proposals on the same basis
Put the competing proposals side by side. Can you identify the page list, features, content responsibilities, revision process, handover and ongoing charges? Ask what happens if you add a page or change direction after approval.
For SEO, distinguish an initial setup from continuing work. A project may include titles, descriptions, a sitemap and basic technical checks without including a monthly content program. Google’s SEO Starter Guide is a useful reference for discussing those foundations; an initial setup is not a promise of a particular search position.
A practical next step
Create a one-page brief with your main goal, essential pages, required features, available content and target launch date. It gives your designer enough information to recommend a suitable scope and explain the tradeoffs clearly.
