How much does a business card website cost in 2026?

A business card website is the simplest way for a company or an expert to appear online: a few pages that say who you are, what you offer and how to get in touch. Yet even for a site this small, prices can differ several times over. Here is what the price is made of, what makes it higher and how to prepare so that you pay only for what you really need.

What a business card website is and who it suits

A business card website is a compact site of one or a few pages. It usually has “About us”, “Services”, “Contacts” and a gallery of work. Its job is to give a visitor the essentials quickly: what you do, why you can be trusted and how to send an enquiry.

This format fits when:

you provide services rather than sell hundreds of products online;
you need a professional presence online without complex features;
clients find you through recommendations or social media and want to check that you are a real company;
you are an expert or a freelancer building a personal brand.

If you have a large catalogue, news, vacancies and separate pages for partners, a business card site will not be enough — that is a job for a corporate website or an online store.

What the price of a business card website is made of

The cost of any website is the amount of work the team does. For a business card site it comes from several parts.

Design

You can take a ready-made template or have a custom design made for your brand. A template is cheaper, but the site will look like dozens of others. A custom design takes longer, yet it shows your brand from the first screen and is built around your services, not the other way round.

Number of pages and sections

A one-page site and a site with five or six sections are different projects. Every page is a separate layout, front-end work, copy, images and a check on smartphones. So the first thing to decide is the minimum set of sections you actually need.

Copy and images

If the texts and photos are ready, the team only places them in the layout. If they have to be written, chosen or edited, that is separate work. Content is what most often delays a launch: the design is approved, but the “About us” text still doesn’t exist.

Features

An enquiry form, messenger buttons, a map and a gallery are the basic set. A second language, online booking, a price calculator or a CRM integration need extra development and testing, so they raise the price.

Domain, hosting and support

A website needs an address (a domain) and space on a server (hosting). These costs recur: the domain is renewed every year, hosting is paid monthly or yearly. Always check what is already included in the development price and what you will pay for separately.

How much a business card website costs at Orlyk Marketing

Business card website development at our agency costs from $700 and takes from 7 days. The price already includes:

custom design for your brand;
responsive layout for smartphones and tablets;
first month of hosting free;
one month of technical support;
domain name for one year;
basic SEO and analytics setup.

We give the exact amount once we know the project: it depends on the number of sections, the features and whether the content is ready. Starting prices for the other formats — landing page, corporate website, online store — are on our website development prices page.

What makes a business card website more expensive

More pages. A separate page for each service helps in search, but each one is extra work.
A second language. An English version is not only a translation but also separate page addresses, a language switcher and settings for search engines.
Custom features. Online booking, a calculator, a client area, integrations with your services.
Content work. Writing copy, choosing and editing images.
Moving from an old site. If you already have a site, we move the texts and images and redirect the old addresses to the new ones so you don’t lose search positions.

What not to skimp on

Some things are barely visible in the estimate, yet they decide whether the site brings enquiries.

The mobile version. The site has to be comfortable on a smartphone: readable text, buttons that are easy to tap, a phone number that dials with one touch.
Loading speed. A slow site annoys visitors and is treated worse by search engines.
Analytics. Without it you won’t know where clients come from and which pages work.
An easy admin panel. You should be able to change prices, contacts and texts yourself, without a developer.

Template, website builder or a turnkey site

A website builder lets you put a page together yourself in an evening. It is a fair way to test an idea, but the design is limited by the platform, and the copy, structure and SEO are up to you. A ready-made template is faster and cheaper than custom development, but it has to be bent to fit your content.

A turnkey site means the team works out the structure, design, copy and technical setup, and you get a finished site on your own domain. You can see what this looks like in practice in our portfolio of websites.

How to prepare so you don’t overpay

Define the goal. Enquiries, calls, consultation bookings or simply proof that you exist.
List the sections. Start with the minimum without which the site makes no sense. The rest can be added later.
Gather the content. Texts about the company and services, photos of your work, the logo, contacts.
Find examples. Two or three sites you like and two or three you don’t. It saves time when agreeing on the design.
Think about growth. If you will need new sections or a language in six months, say so at the start: we will build the structure with room to grow.

The full step-by-step list — from the brief to accepting the finished site — is in our article “How to order a website without mistakes”.

What you will pay for after launch

The development price is a one-off, but a website, like an office, has small recurring costs. Budget for them from the start so the site doesn’t disappear a year later because of an unpaid domain.

Domain renewal. The domain is paid for every year. Turn on reminders or auto-renewal and make sure the domain is registered to you.
Hosting. After the first month, which is included in our price, hosting is paid separately — monthly or yearly.
Content updates. New services, prices, photos of your work. You make most changes yourself in the admin panel; bigger ones — new sections or features — are ordered separately.
Technical support. For the first month after launch we support the site within the development price. After that, support can be extended or you can run the site yourself.

Business card website, landing page or corporate website

If you need to sell one service from advertising, a landing page is often enough — ours costs from $500 and is built in up to 10 days. When there are many sections and the company needs news, vacancies or information for partners, a corporate website is a better fit — from $700, up to 14 days; we covered which sections it needs in “A corporate website for your company: what it should include”. More on the difference in the article “Landing page or corporate website: which to choose”.
