If you're a business owner in Miami looking for a new website, you've probably gotten wildly different quotes. One agency says $500. Another says $25,000. A freelancer on Fiverr offers to do it for $150.
So what does a website actually cost?
After 15 years of building websites for Miami businesses — restaurants, contractors, law firms, startups — I'm going to break it down honestly.
The Short Answer
For a professional, custom-built business website in Miami, expect to pay $3,000 to $8,000. For a custom web application (dashboards, portals, booking systems), expect $8,000 to $50,000+ depending on complexity.
Here's the full breakdown:
Website Types and What They Cost
Simple Landing Page — $1,500 to $3,000
A single-page or 3-5 page website. Good for new businesses that need a professional online presence fast. Includes responsive design, basic SEO, and a contact form.
Best for: New businesses, personal brands, event pages
Business Website — $3,000 to $8,000
A full multi-page website with service pages, about section, testimonials, and contact forms. Built with SEO in mind so you actually show up on Google. This is what most Miami small businesses need.
Best for: Restaurants, contractors, law firms, medical practices, real estate agents
E-Commerce Website — $5,000 to $15,000
A website with a full shopping experience — product pages, cart, checkout, payment processing, and inventory management.
Best for: Retail businesses, boutiques, specialty food shops
Custom Web Application — $8,000 to $50,000+
A software platform built specifically for your business. Client portals, booking systems, dashboards, internal tools. This is custom software development, not template customization.
Best for: Startups, companies with unique workflows, businesses replacing multiple SaaS tools
What Drives the Price Up
- Custom design vs. templates — A design built for your brand costs more than a modified template, but it converts better
- Number of pages — More content means more design and development time
- Integrations — Payment processing, booking systems, CRM connections, and third-party APIs add complexity
- Content creation — Professional copywriting and photography are separate costs, but bad photos and weak copy will tank an otherwise solid site
- Ongoing maintenance — Security updates, backups, and content changes (we offer plans starting at $299/mo)
What Drives the Price Down
- Clear requirements — The more you know what you want, the faster we can build it
- Existing content — If you already have good photos, copy, and branding, that saves significant time
- Phased approach — Launch with core features first, add more later
Red Flags to Watch For
If someone quotes you under $1,000 for a business website, ask questions:
- Are they using a generic template with your logo swapped in?
- Will you own the code, or are you locked into their platform?
- Is hosting included, or will you pay monthly fees on top?
- What happens if you want to make changes later?
The cheapest option is rarely the best investment. A $500 website that doesn't show up on Google or convert visitors is more expensive than a $5,000 website that actually brings in customers.
