The cheapest options are DIY platforms like Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress.com ($10-30/month). You can build a basic site yourself for a fraction of the cost of a website design from a professional. The trade-off: limited customization, limited features, limited ability to integrate other tools, and you’re doing all the work yourself. For a business, cheap websites often cost more in lost opportunity and frustration than professional websites. Use our website cost calculator to compare what you’d pay at each level.
