In brief: The website cost calculator shows a suitable package and starting price based on the selected website type: a single-page promotional website starts from 12,000 TL, a corporate website from 15,000 TL, and an e-commerce website from 24,000 TL. Selections beyond the starting scope appear in a separate list, and the final price is determined in the quote. When selections are sent through WhatsApp, the quote is shared the same day.

As you make your selections, the suitable package, starting price and items to be priced separately in the quote appear immediately. The information entered is never sent to any server; the calculation takes place within your browser.
Recommended package:
The amount shown is the starting price for the package. The final price is determined in the quote after discussing your requirements, and the quote is shared the same day. The domain name and hosting are registered in the name of the business.
The honest answer to the question “How much does a website cost?” depends on what work the website will perform. The tool divides this answer into three parts: a suitable package, items beyond the starting scope and an optional maintenance price range. For full details of the packages, you can review the detailed pricing guide ; this page explains how the calculation is made and how the result becomes a quote.
How do you use the website cost calculator?
The tool is used through five selections and a submission step; you do not need to know exact figures in any field, as approximate values are sufficient. The steps proceed in the following order:
- Select the website type: single-page promotional, corporate or e-commerce. The package and starting price are determined by this selection.
- Select the approximate page count: Roughly count the pages you expect to include on the website, such as home, about us, services and contact.
- Specify the number of languages: Choose whether the website will be in Turkish only or will also be published in other languages.
- Enter the product quantity: This field applies only to an e-commerce website; enter the approximate number of products that will be offered for sale.
- Select additional requirements: Choose the options you need from a blog, appointment/reservation form, membership system, marketplace/ERP/accounting integration, copy/content writing and monthly maintenance.
- Read and send the result: The summary on the screen is sent together with your selections to 0532 690 9924 using the WhatsApp button.
If you are unsure about an option, you can leave it unchecked; a short note added to the message is enough to clarify that item during the initial assessment.
Why does the calculation result not show a single figure?
The website cost calculation does not show a single figure because the workload of items beyond the starting scope is understood from their details rather than from a checkbox. The same selection for an “appointment form” could mean a date field added to a contact form or a calendar system showing available times. A calculator that assigns the same price to both either overcharges one side or creates a surprise at the quotation stage. To gather project information step by step, you can use the website brief form .
The results screen consists of three sections. The first is the package suited to the selected website type and the starting price of that package. The second is the list of selections outside the starting scope; these items are priced individually in the quote. The third is the optional monthly maintenance range of 500–2,000 TL.
This means the planned cost of having a website built in 2026 is based on a written scope rather than an estimate.
How do single-page, corporate and e-commerce packages differ?
The main difference between the packages is the breadth of work the website performs: a single page provides promotion, a corporate website explains services on separate pages, and an e-commerce website accepts orders. Mobile compatibility, SEO infrastructure, SSL and training on the administration panel are standard in all three packages.
| Package | Who it is for | Starting price | Standard inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-page promotional | New businesses and those wishing to promote a single service or campaign | From 12,000 TL | Mobile compatibility, SEO infrastructure, SSL, administration panel training |
| Corporate | Companies, offices and clinics that need to describe multiple services on separate pages | From 15,000 TL | Mobile compatibility, SEO infrastructure, SSL, administration panel training |
| E-commerce | Stores and brands that will sell their products online | From 24,000 TL | Mobile compatibility, SEO infrastructure, SSL, administration panel training; product and order management with WooCommerce |
A corporate website is delivered in an average of 5-7 business days when the content is ready; for e-commerce projects and projects with additional modules, the schedule is determined according to the scope. Details of corporate projects are explained on the corporate web designpage, while details of online stores are covered on the e-commerce website development page.
Which items increase the cost of a website?
The items that increase the price most when calculating website costs are listed below; the effect of each relates more to the workload than to the number itself:
- Number of pages: Each new page means a separate layout, separate title and description fields, and a separate mobile check.
- Number of languages: A second language means setting up menus, forms and SEO fields separately in that language. Who provides the translation also changes the calculation.
- Product quantity: In e-commerce, as the number of products increases, the category structure, variants such as size and color, and the transfer of product information to the website all grow. Receiving the product list in a prepared spreadsheet speeds up the transfer.
- Integration: A connection with a marketplace, ERP or accounting application takes shape according to the connection capabilities offered by the other system. A connection set up with a ready-made plugin and one requiring custom development do not fit into the same budget.
- Appointments, membership and blog: An appointment/reservation form and membership system are functions that collect data from visitors and require management. A blog requires the setup of categories and post templates.
- Custom design: This does not appear as a separate option in the tool and is discussed during the initial consultation. A design created specifically for a brand requires more work than adapting an existing layout.
- Copy/content writing: When the business supplies ready-to-use copy, this item is not included in the quote. If it will be written as part of the service, it is assessed together with the number of pages.
Let us turn the calculation into a firm quote together
When the selections from the tool or a requirements list of a few sentences are sent through WhatsApp, a free initial assessment is provided. Items beyond the starting scope are priced individually, and the quote is shared the same day.
What are the fixed costs and annual renewals?
The main ongoing fixed costs after a website goes live are domain name and hosting renewals; the SSL certificate must also be renewed before it expires. Unlike the design fee, these items recur every period and should occupy a separate line in the budget.
A domain name is not purchased permanently; it is registered for a specific period. ICANN’s domain name renewal guidestates that registration is generally for a period between one and ten years and that, if the domain will continue to be used, it must be renewed through the registrar before it expires; a domain that is not renewed may be lost temporarily or permanently. On websites built by Onur Freelance, the domain name and hosting are registered in the business’s own name. ICANN also recommends keeping the registered contact information up to date so that renewal reminders are not missed.
Validity periods are shorter for SSL. The free certificate provider Let’s Encrypt states on its FAQ page that its default certificates are valid for 90 days and recommends renewal every 60 days. For this reason, it is also necessary to check that automatic renewal is running on the server.
License renewals are also included in this list for websites using paid themes or plugins. Optional monthly maintenance for updates, backups and security checks ranges from 500–2,000 TL; details can be found on the WordPress maintenance and updates page.
What questions should you ask when comparing quotes?
When comparing quotes, first ask what scope the figure covers; the same total may include integration in one quote but exclude it in another. The checklist below makes it easier to see whether the quote matches your selections in the website cost calculator exactly:
- Does every additional requirement selected in the tool appear as a separate line in the quote?
- Is the page list written with individual page names, or does it simply say “corporate website”?
- In whose name will the domain name and hosting be registered, and who will retain administrator access?
- Are mobile compatibility, SEO infrastructure, SSL and administration panel training explicitly listed in the quote?
- Who will prepare the copy, images and translations?
- Who will be asked to provide the other system’s access credentials and technical documentation for integration?
- What condition does the delivery schedule depend on; how will the schedule change if content is delayed?
- Is maintenance after launch optional, and what is included in the monthly scope?
A quote that does not give a clear answer to one of these questions is not ready for comparison, even if the price appears low.
What are the most common mistakes in a website budget?
The most common mistake is assuming that the starting price is the final project price. The starting price covers the basic scope of the package; as options such as languages, integration or content writing are added, the final price is established in the quote together with these items.
Assuming the content is ready: The average delivery period of 5-7 business days for a corporate website depends on the content being ready. If copy and images are still being prepared when the project starts, both the schedule and the budget plan shift.
Forgetting renewals: The design fee is paid once; domain name, hosting and any license renewals recur. Failing to allocate space for these items may result in the website becoming inaccessible.
Adding every feature to the first version: When membership, multiple languages and integration are requested at the same time, both cost and duration increase. Launching first with the features that will actually be used and adding others as the need arises keeps the budget under control.
Leaving promotion out of the calculation: A website that has gone live often requires separate work to appear for the queries people search for. For this work, SEO services start from 9,000 TL per month, and Google Ads management separately starts from 9,000 TL per month; the advertising budget paid to Google is not included in this management fee. Both services are planned independently of the website fee.

Frequently asked questions
Does the website cost calculator provide an exact price?
No, the tool shows a suitable package and starting price, and collects selections beyond the starting scope in a separate list. Because the workload for these items varies according to the details, the final price is determined in the quote, and the quote is shared the same day.
How much does it cost to have a website built in 2026?
At Onur Freelance, a single-page promotional website starts from 12,000 TL, a corporate website from 15,000 TL, and an e-commerce website from 24,000 TL. Options such as the number of pages and languages, product quantity, integrations and content writing determine the final price.
How can I get a quote after the calculation?
The WhatsApp button on the results screen sends your selections to 0532 690 9924. Following a free initial assessment, the quote is shared the same day.
In whose name are the domain name and hosting registered?
Both are registered in the business’s own name, meaning the business is the registrant. Since a domain name is registered for a specific period, it must be renewed before expiration, and this schedule should be planned as a separate line in the budget.
Is monthly maintenance mandatory?
No, monthly maintenance is optional and ranges from 500–2,000 TL. This range is also shown separately on the calculator’s results screen.
How long does it take to prepare a corporate website?
If the content is ready, delivery of a corporate website takes an average of 5-7 business days. For e-commerce websites and projects with additional functions such as appointments, membership or integration, the schedule is determined according to the scope.
