Website cost
How much does a small business website cost?
For a simple local business, the honest range in 2026 is about $0 to $50 a month on a DIY builder, $1,500 to $6,000 from a freelancer, and more from an agency. Storefront is the narrow option in the middle: we build it, you see it first, and you pay once.

The three usual bills
| Route | What you pay | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| DIY builder | About $16 to $40 a month, forever | Pick a template, write the pages, keep the subscription |
| Freelancer | $1,500 to $6,000 up front, then hosting | Brief someone, wait, then pay again for edits |
| Storefront | $79 for 6 months, or $129 for 12 | Answer four questions. We publish it. Email us for changes. |
$129 for a year is 18% less than buying the 6-month plan twice. Nothing renews. No card stays on file.
What the $79 covers
Home, services, about, and contact, written around your trade and your town. Your photos placed by hand. Page titles, a sitemap, and hosting for the full term. Setup by email within one business day after you pay. The free preview is the same kind of site, with your name on it, and it costs nothing to see.
What it does not cover
An online store, a booking system, or a login where you edit the pages yourself. This is a four-page site for a shop, a cleaner, a salon, a plumber, or anyone else who needs to be found and called. If you need a cart, this is the wrong product.
See it before the charge
The preview publishes in about a minute. If you never pay, it comes down. If you pay and it is not right, reply to any email and we refund you and take the site down.
Storefront is built and run by AI agents on NanoCorp — you describe the business, a finished site comes back.
