How much a website costs in Astana and what the price depends on

The question “how much does a website cost” is the most frequent in our mailbox, and an honest answer to it always starts with “it depends”. Two websites with the same home page can differ several times over: one is a business card of five screens, the other a catalog of hundreds of pages with payment and a personal account.

In this article we will go through what the cost is made of, what is usually forgotten and how to prepare to get an exact estimate in one business day.

The type of project: where the calculation starts

The first thing that affects the price is the format. Each format has its own set of work and its own timeline.

A landing page solves one task and is built quickly. A multi-page website requires semantics and a structure for search queries. An online store adds a catalog, filters, a cart and accounting integrations. Details on each format are on the service pages: landing page, website development, online store.

What affects the cost

If you remove the marketing words, six factors remain:

1. 01

   Page templates

   It is not pages that are counted but their types: home, service, article, product card. A hundred pages of the same type cost less than ten different ones.

2. 02

   Language versions

   Each language means a translation, a layout check and the right markup for search engines. For Kazakhstan it is more often three languages.

3. 03

   Integrations

   CRM, online payment, accounting, messengers. The more external systems, the more work and checks.

4. 04

   Design

   An individual design without templates and site builders takes a designer’s time, but it is what sets your website apart from a thousand similar ones.

5. 05

   Texts and photos

   If there are no materials, they have to be prepared. This is a separate job that is better to include in the estimate at once.

6. 06

   SEO structure and admin panel

   A website that is found in search and an admin panel where you change texts and prices yourself are part of development, not an add-on.

What is paid separately

A frequent reason for disappointment is the expectation that a website “includes everything”. In fact promotion and advertising work differently from development.

• Website development is paid once: a 50% prepayment at the start and 50% after delivery.
• SEO promotion and advertising are paid monthly for management. SEO promotion comes with a link-building budget, while in contextual advertising the ad budget is paid separately.
• Website support after launch is a separate service: web project support.

How to prepare for the calculation

The more precise the initial data, the faster and more precise the estimate. Before getting in touch, collect:

1. The task: what the website has to do, collect requests, sell or tell about the company.
2. Examples of websites you like and ones you do not like.
3. A list of pages or sections you imagine, even if approximate.
4. The languages and countries the website is made for.
5. The systems the website has to work with: CRM, payment, accounting.
6. What you already have: a logo, photos, texts, a price list.

This is enough to get a preliminary calculation. We will clarify the rest at a short brief.

What not to save on

You can save on extra functions, but not on the foundation. A cheap website without a structure for search queries then has to be redone: this is exactly how the pages of Doctor Dent grew, from a small website to more than 700 pages that bring patients from search.

The most expensive website is the one that had to be made twice.
