Custom Web Development Cost
A web development quote is hard to judge until you know what the website is replacing.
A five-page site is one thing.
A site with CMS editing, lead routing, booking flows, Stripe, client accounts, dashboards, and CRM logic is a different thing entirely.
This is why cheap can become expensive.
Not because the first price was low, but because the business later discovers it needs:
1. Paid hosting
2. Premium plugins
3. A page builder
4. Security tools
5. Backups
6. Performance fixes
7. A marketing platform
8. A CRM subscription
9. Someone to keep all of it from breaking
WordPress plus GoHighLevel can cross $200/month quickly.
A custom-coded CMS website or lean CRM usually costs more to create, but the monthly stack can be much lighter at the start and scale only when the business actually needs more capacity.
I broke down the cost factors here:

2nd variation of a landing page for a B2B search analytics platform
For this variation, I went with a lighter background where the CTA is visually focused instantly.
You might have 3~5 seconds to get the user's attention, so it's very important how the design looks and feels.
Full landing page coming tomorrow.
Great work on this!
