Why is the price a range, not an exact figure?

Because before the brief, we don't know the number of pages, the list of integrations, or how many languages you need. A range is more honest than "from $100" — it gives you the right order of magnitude without misleading you. After a 30-minute call or a completed brief, you'll get a fixed price by stage: design → development → launch. Any scope change happens only through an agreed estimate, with no surprises.

Can I pay in installments instead of the full budget upfront?

Yes, our standard schedule: 30% deposit at the start → 40% after design approval → 30% before launch. For larger projects (over $3,000) we split it into more stages. Any scope change after the estimate is signed off requires additional agreement and an invoice.

What's included in the price — and what's NOT included?

Included: structure planning, design (or template adaptation), build and development, baseline SEO (tags, sitemap, robots.txt, canonical), testing, project handover, and a short admin walkthrough. NOT included by default: content (copy, photos), translation into other languages, domain and hosting (billed separately or included at a set rate), monthly support after launch.

What if I want to add a feature mid-project — does the price go up?

The price is fixed once the estimate is approved. If you add a new feature during development, we prepare a separate minimum estimate for that item and agree on it before starting. No "we already built it, now pay" — only written confirmation from you.

How much does an online store cost compared to a regular website?

On average, 2-4 times more expensive than a corporate site, due to the catalog, cart, payment gateway integration, shipping providers, and inventory management. A starter store with up to 500 SKUs starts at $1,900. A store with an ERP integration, a customer account, and advanced filters starts at $4,000-$5,000. More on e-commerce.

Why are you more expensive than a freelancer?

Honestly, for a simple landing page, a good freelancer is often a perfectly reasonable choice. The difference is scope. A freelancer usually covers one link in the chain — design, or build, or SEO. We cover the full cycle: analytics → design → development → integrations → SEO baseline → launch → support. For projects where design, code, and SEO need to work together from day one, an agency ends up cheaper than the sum of several freelancers plus a manager coordinating them.

When will I know the exact timeline and budget?

One business day after the brief. The brief takes 30 minutes: a live call or a completed questionnaire. What you get: an estimate broken down by stage with a fixed price for each. The quiz above gives you a preliminary range from 5 questions, so you don't spend time on a call if the budgets clearly don't match.

What is new — and we already do it

Four things that became standard in 2026. We build them into every project by default.

01
AI features
Chatbot, assistant, AI search. We integrate GPT or Claude in a week. Not a 2027 option — clients ask for it now.
Shipping since 2024
02
Core Web Vitals
LCP under 2s, INP under 150ms. Every site is tested before launch. Without this Google keeps you out of the top 10.
Checked before release
03
WCAG AA accessibility
Mandatory in the EU since 2025. We design for it from the start instead of bolting it on later.

04
Headless stack
Next.js plus Payload or Sanity. More expensive to start, 1.5–2× cheaper to maintain over three years. No plugin zoo.
Lowers TCO

How much a website costs every year — real TCO

Development cost is a one-off. Support, hosting, and the domain are annual. We publish these numbers because hiding them makes no sense — better to know upfront than to be surprised a year in.

Domain
.ua / .com.ua / .com registration per year: ₴800–2,000
800 ₴/ year
Hosting / VPS
Depends on traffic: shared → VPS → dedicated; ₴3,600–24,000
3 600 ₴/ year
SSL certificate
Let’s Encrypt is free; paid certificates from ₴800 a year
0 ₴/ year
Technical supportoptional
Monitoring, updates, backups (basic plan): ₴36,000–60,000
36 000 ₴/ year

232 400 ₴

Minimum required annual TCO — from ₴4,400 to ₴26,800 (domain + hosting + SSL). Everything else is as needed. The payment gateway (LiqPay/Fondy) takes a percentage of turnover, not a flat fee. Apricode technical support is a fixed monthly rate, no hourly surprises.

What determines website development cost — without the "it depends"

"How much does a website cost" is one of the few questions in digital where an honest answer can be "from $199 to $18,000" — and that's not dodging the question, it's the truth of the market. Here's what makes up that number.

Site type sets the order of magnitude, not the details

A landing page and a web app are different products, like a scooter and a minibus. There's a 90x range here, and that's normal. You'll know the order of magnitude after the first question in our calculator: pick "corporate site" and see the $890-$3,500 range with no call needed. The exact number comes after the brief.

Custom design vs. template — a 30-35% difference

Template design means adapting a ready UI kit to your brand: faster and cheaper. Custom design from scratch means research, wireframes, an original design system, and three rounds of edits. A template is often enough for a landing page; for a platform or a corporate site meant to last 5+ years, an original design is the better investment. Our design case studies →

Integrations — the biggest hidden factor

A contact form: $80-$200. Online payment (Stripe, PayPal): $250-$800. Catalog + cart: $700-$2,200. ERP or inventory integration: $500-$1,500. A customer account: $500-$1,500. Each item adds to the base price — the calculator above adds them up automatically and shows the breakdown by stage right away.

Timeline and pace — a separate multiplier

A rush build costs about 15% more: team resources get reallocated and parallel projects go on pause. If your deadline is flexible, subtract 5%. A landing page "in 48 hours" is realistic for typical scenarios: brief today, layout tomorrow, launch the day after. More on fast-turnaround landing pages →

Content — a separate line item that's easy to forget

Text, photos, translation are not included in the standard development estimate. If we produce the content, it's a separate line item. If you're doing it, plan for 1-3 weeks after the layouts are released to fill everything in. Copywriting and translation →

Why a range instead of an exact price — and when you'll get one

At the start, we give you a range, because we don't yet know the number of pages, the list of integrations, or how many languages you need. After a 30-minute brief, a fixed price by stage: design, development, launch. Any scope change happens only through an agreed estimate. No "extra work billed separately" without your confirmation.

Over 10 years and 500+ projects, we've learned: most budget disasters don't come from "an expensive vendor" — they come from the lack of a clear brief at the start. That's why we answer "how much does a website cost" twice: the range before the brief is a guide, and the range after the brief is a contract.

Popular site types in our portfolio: online stores, corporate sites with CRM and SEO, LMS platforms for schools and online courses, AI solutions and chatbots, web design and UI/UX. See case studies →
