The Cheapest Way to Get a Professional Website for Your Small Business
Agencies charge $3,000+. Wix takes hours. There's a better option — and it costs $15/month.
How much does a small business website actually cost?
The range is enormous — and most small business owners don't realize how many options exist.
Web design agency
$2,000 – $10,000
⏱ 4–8 weeks
Ongoing maintenance costs extra. You're dependent on them for changes.
Freelance web designer
$500 – $3,000
⏱ 2–4 weeks
Cheaper but still slow. Quality varies massively.
Wix / Squarespace
$16 – $45/month
⏱ Hours of your time
You do all the work. Easy to end up with something generic.
GoDaddy Website Builder
$10 – $25/month
⏱ Hours of your time
Very limited. Hard to make it look professional.
ShopFront
$15/month or $170 once
⏱ 4 minutes
AI builds your entire site using your real business info. No work required.
Why cheap doesn't have to mean bad
The assumption is that if you're not paying thousands, you're getting something that looks cheap. That was true 5 years ago. AI changed that.
ShopFront uses AI to read your actual business information and build a fully designed, professional website around it. It's not a template you fill in — it's a real site built specifically for your business.
The result looks like something a designer spent days on. It takes 4 minutes.
What you get for $15/month
- ✓A complete, professionally designed website
- ✓Your real business info — not placeholder content
- ✓Mobile-friendly design that works on every device
- ✓A live URL you can share anywhere
- ✓Hosted forever — nothing to install or maintain
- ✓AI editor to make changes anytime
Is there a free option?
ShopFront is free to try — you can build your website and preview it completely before paying anything. No credit card required.
Publishing it live (so customers can actually visit it) is what costs $15/month or $170 one-time. That's less than a single hour with a web designer.
