A useful first answer to “How much for a website?” separates a base package, add-ons, and timeline instead of dropping a single unexplained number.

I built QuoteKit for freelancers and small studios who want to show that estimate before the discovery call. Visitors choose a package, extra pages and services, and a timeline; the indicative price updates in the browser. It is bilingual (EN/FR) static HTML/CSS/JS, with rates edited in one config file. The email button prepares a draft in the visitor’s own email app; there is no backend or automatic data collection.

The editable source template is $12 USD, with the ZIP delivered by email within 24 hours of purchase: https://buy.stripe.com/6oU4gA6SE9KPawh7hu4gg00

If you quote small websites, what input would make an estimator actually useful for your process?
