Freelance website design & development pricing

Hey guys,

I’ve been building sites for friends/family and am starting to take on real clients. I’m trying to get a realistic sense of pricing from people actually doing this work.

Current Project:

Local coffee shop w highly visual branding

• Standard pages + menu

• Online ordering w/ customization

• Integration w current payment system (square)

Context:

• I build custom (no template builders)

• I Include standard SEO / technical setup (performance, sitemap, schema)

Questions:

• What would you realistically charge for this?

• How much does custom vs builder actually impact pricing, and do clients care?

• What’s your typical range for a basic brochure site vs added features (ordering, booking, forms, portals)?

• Maintenance & hosting fees?

Not trying to undercut, just want to land in a fair range while I build experience. Appreciate any real numbers/examples.

Thanks in advanced 🙏🏻
