Website Development Cost in 2026: Pricing Guide
How much does a website cost in 2026? Prices for landing pages, company profiles, and fully custom websites, what drives the cost, and how to choose.
One of the first questions people ask before building a website is: how much does a website cost? The honest answer is "it depends", but the number can still be estimated. At Seawise in 2026, a website costs IDR 2 million for a single landing page, IDR 3.5 million for a company profile, IDR 4.5 million for a customised website, and IDR 12 million for a fully custom website. Web apps and applications are quoted per project. This guide explains what moves the price up or down and how to choose a package without wasting your budget.
Website development costs in 2026
Website development falls into a few tiers based on complexity. These are Seawise's package prices per project:
| Website type | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page (1 page), Shore package | IDR 2 million | Promoting one product, one event, or a personal brand |
| Company profile (5–6 sections), Reef package | IDR 3.5 million | Small businesses that need a complete, professional presence |
| Customised website (8–10 sections), Current package | IDR 4.5 million | Businesses that want to stand out and manage their own content |
| Fully custom website, Trench package | IDR 12 million | Unusual business models that need fully custom design and features |
The features in each package are listed on our services page. Web apps with features such as customer logins, dashboards, or system integrations are not part of the website packages, because their scope follows your workflow, so they are quoted per project. Prices far below this range usually mean a generic template with no support.
What affects the cost?
The final price of a website comes down to five main factors.
1. Number of pages and sections
The more pages and sections that need to be designed, the more work is involved. A single landing page is naturally cheaper than a full company profile with product pages, a gallery, and a blog.
2. Level of design customisation
Using an existing design preset costs less. A fully custom design, from colours, layout, and animation to a visual identity made just for you, takes more time and therefore costs more.
3. Managing content yourself (admin panel)
A website with an admin panel lets you change text, prices, and photos yourself without contacting a developer every time. It adds to the upfront cost, but saves money over the long run.
4. Additional features
Payment integration, automatic WhatsApp notifications, online booking, or multiple languages are extra features that affect the price. Once the features start to look like an operational system, such as stock or point of sale, it is usually better scoped as a custom application rather than a website.
5. Maintenance and hosting
After launch there are recurring costs for the domain, hosting, and maintenance that keep the website secure and up to date. For reference, maintenance on Seawise packages is currently IDR 1.8 million per year. Put this yearly cost in your budget from the start, not just the build cost.
Why a cheap website often ends up costing more
Very cheap websites usually rely on a generic template, with no speed optimisation, no basic SEO, and no support after launch. As a result they often need to be rebuilt within months, and rebuilding costs far more than doing it properly the first time.
The right investment is not the cheapest one. It is the one that fits your needs and can grow with your business.
How to choose the right package
Before you decide, answer these three questions:
- What is the main purpose of the website? A simple profile, selling products, or an internal operations tool? The purpose determines how complex it needs to be.
- How often will the content change? If often, an admin panel will save a lot of time and money.
- Will your business grow? Choose a foundation that can be upgraded step by step, so you do not have to rebuild when the business gets bigger.
If you are still unsure, start with a smaller package and upgrade as you go. What matters is a clean foundation from day one. For example, the Leuca de Perfume website was built as a concise company profile that loads fast on mobile and is easy to update.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a website?
It depends on the package and how ready your materials are, such as text, photos, and logo. At Seawise, a one-page landing page takes 3–5 days, a company profile 5–10 days, and a customised website 10–14 days. A fully custom website depends on how complex it is, so that estimate comes with your written scope. A custom web app takes longer because the features have to be designed first.
Does the price include domain and hosting?
It varies between providers, so ask early whether the domain, hosting, and SSL are included or billed separately. At Seawise, domain and hosting are arranged as part of the project. The exact arrangement is confirmed during the first discussion, since it depends on what you already own.
Can I update the website content myself?
Yes, if your package includes an admin panel. You can update text, prices, and photos without a developer's help.
Will my website appear on Google straight away?
Not straight away. A new website has to be crawled and indexed by Google, which usually takes a few weeks. A website built with proper SEO fundamentals is easier for Google to understand from the start.
Conclusion
At Seawise, a website costs from IDR 2 million for a landing page to IDR 12 million for a fully custom website, while web apps and applications are quoted per project. What matters is not just the number, but how well it fits your business goals and how solid the foundation is. Choose a developer who takes the time to understand your needs first, not one who jumps straight to the cheapest template.
