How Much Does It Cost to Build a WordPress Website

Introduction

WordPress is a content management system that can be used to create and host websites. WordPress began as a blogging tool. Because of modifications to the core code and WordPress’ vast ecosystem of plugins and themes, it is now simple to construct any form of website using WordPress.

The core WordPress software is free to use, but the cost of a website’s development depends on your budget and requirements. It’s cheaper to build a blogging website than an e-commerce website. Because the required features and add-ons for a small business website may be unnecessary for a blogger’s website,The estimated cost of running a WordPress website could be around $220–320 for a year, or it could easily go up to thousands of dollars.

What is the cost to build a WordPress website?

Well, the cost of a WordPress website depends on the following:

WordPress Hosting

As we have discussed above, WordPress is free to use. Still, for a professional website, it’s worth paying extra for quality. If you are working with WordPress.com and you upgrade from the free plan, you will eventually have to pay for the hosting.

Generally, a WordPress hosting plan costs $1.99–$11.59/month. You also have the option of shared hosting, which ranges from $1.99 to $3.99/month and is a good option for small personal sites and small businesses. A shared hosting plan will be cheaper compared to other hosting plans.

Domain Name

While purchasing a WordPress.com annual plan, you will get to register a free domain for a year. Or you can also connect a domain from another provider for free with any WordPress.com plan. In case you are not ready to add a custom domain, you can create your site and add a domain later as well.

A domain costs $18 per year, but it also comes free with the annual personal plan, which costs around $8 per month.

Design and Theme

The design of your WordPress website depends on whether you are working with an in-house developer or Hire WordPress Developer or hiring a freelancer or Web Development Company to develop your site.

In-house WordPress design costs range from $0 to $300.

Freelancers cost from $500 to $5000.

A WordPress Development company services cost from $3,000 to $100,000.

If you are looking for a custom WordPress theme with additional built-in features and plugins, that can cost you anywhere between $6,000 and $10,000. If you wish to have a complex enterprise-level project, then the custom theme project cost can easily go above $30,000.

Plugins and Extensions

As WordPress software is free to use, it has thousands of plugins, some of which are free and some you have to pay for. Plugins and extensions can cost between $426 and $1,587. As WordPress plugins are small bits of code that you can add to your website, Generally, extensions are free, but if you go for “premium options,” it will cost from $47 to $200. In the event that you buy a plugin, you are free to make any changes and sell the code just as you are with WordPress core, as long as you release them under the GPL (General Public License).

Maintenance Cost

The maintenance cost of a WordPress site varies as per design and development requirements. Hence, the average cost for a WordPress website is $75 to $115,000. WordPress website ongoing maintenance costs range from $75 to $15,000 per year.

If you want a custom-built website, then it could be costly to maintain. because the Custom WordPress Development Company maintenance requires more manual work to manage your site.

A Custom WordPress Development Services help manage business functions better.

Storage and Bandwidth Costs

It was long known that free sites created after March 31, 2021, came with 1 GB of storage. WordPress.com personal provides you with 6 GB of storage. The premium version offers 13 GB of storage. Business and eCommerce include 200 GB of storage.

Bandwidth is all about the traffic on your site. You may think that your site requires a huge amount of bandwidth. But in general, 5 GB of bandwidth per month will be enough and is mostly used by many websites currently.

Security Cost

Security is a key element of any website. You want visitors to feel safe when they browse or shop on your website. To encourage people to stay on your site, you’ll need to add security to your website.
The most important feature of every website is its security. It’s important for customers to feel safe while they are shopping or visiting your site. Hence, it’s necessary to add security to your site.

You can get an SSL certificate, a standard technology to keep your website safe. It will keep your users’ internet connections secure. Although you can pay a one-time fee for security, many security options require a monthly fee.

A basic security plan will cost you around $50 per year. You can also go for advanced security options, which can cost you hundreds of dollars a year.
