The question “how much does a website cost” is like “how much does a renovation cost”: without details only a range can be named. Here is what builds that range.

## What affects the price

- **Scope.** A landing page and a catalog of thousands of items are different tasks.
- **Integrations.** Every link with CRM, payments, 1C or a messenger adds work and tests.
- **Data.** Collection, cleaning and storage often take more time than the interface.
- **Reliability.** Logs, retries, error notifications and autotests cost extra but pay off.
- **Design.** Ready-made solutions are cheaper than custom artwork.
- **Deadlines.** Urgent work usually costs more.

## How not to overpay

1. Start with the main scenario and launch it first.
2. Describe the task in your own words: what should happen and for whom.
3. Agree on stages and payment by results.
4. Ask for the source code and access right away.

## Reference points

A landing page is usually done in 5–7 days, a multi-page site or a web app in 3–6 weeks, a single automation scenario in 2–10 days. Current price ranges are in the [Pricing section](/ceny/).

## FAQ

### Why can't you name an exact price right away?

Because it depends on details. After a short brief I fix scope, timing and cost before work starts.

### What costs more: a website or automation?

A website often costs more because of design and content, while automation depends on the number of steps and services. Compare by the task.

### Are there hidden payments?

Only external services are paid separately: domain, hosting, APIs and subscriptions. I name their cost in advance.
