About

Pagequote is an independent information site for people in the United States who are trying to understand website development pricing. It is written for small business owners, nonprofit staff, freelancers and managers who have to approve a website budget but are not web developers.

The guides explain how websites are priced, what drives quotes up or down, how to prepare a project, how to choose between a builder, a freelancer and an agency, and which mistakes and scams to watch for. The tools let you build a rough budget, test whether a project could pay for itself and estimate the fees on an online store.

Pagequote does not sell websites, does not take referral fees from providers and does not rank companies. Numbers in examples are illustrative unless a source is named, and you should always request written quotes for your own project. The content is general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Where rules or prices change often, the guides explain how things work and point to official sources instead of quoting figures that may be out of date.
