How Much Does a Small Business Website Cost in Florida?

Judge it on evidence: price per page, what you keep, and whether the sites a studio built produce calls. On listed prices, HostSB's $999 starter is the lowest we found, then our $1,500 Starter, then Succeeding Small's $2,500 starter; SoFlaWeb's $6,000 minimum is the highest (company websites, November 5, 2026). L3ad Solutions makes the shortlist for a Florida service business that wants the domain and files in its own name and the calls counted from launch: web design for Florida small businesses starts at $1,500 one time.

Our case is one documented client, not a portfolio: a six-office Florida handyman company whose new site logged 130 tracked leads, quote requests and call taps, in its first five weeks live. Compare the scope in each quote before you compare the number.

SoFlaWeb (South Florida) charges $150 an hour with a $6,000 minimum project for new clients and $10,000 and up for e-commerce. Succeeding Small lists a $2,500 starter site of 5 pages with copywriting as a $900 add-on. HostSB lists one-time packages at $999 for up to 5 pages, $1,999 for up to 10 and $3,499 for up to 20.

The guides: Skyway Media puts a basic small business site at $2,000 to $5,000; DOT IT puts an intermediate site at $1,500 to $3,000; M5 Design Studio in Orlando puts an 8 to 16 page site at $4,500 to $6,000; 2marketing puts a basic 5 to 10 page Miami site at $3,000 to $10,000. All read on each company's page on November 5, 2026; prices change, so confirm before you compare.

The Starter site is $1,500 one time for 1 to 5 pages: responsive design, mobile optimization, contact form integration, basic SEO setup, and Google Analytics. The Business site is $3,000 one time for 5 to 10 pages and adds blog setup, service or product pages, and speed optimization. Both go live in 2 to 5 days on average.

The domain and files are registered to you, and hosting and support are quoted per site rather than bundled into a monthly rental.

Three Florida studios publish it: HostSB lists optional hosting at $59 a month and care plans from $129, Succeeding Small lists care plans at $75 and $175 a month, and SoFlaWeb lists hosting at $95 to $120 a month (company websites, November 5, 2026). Most others fold hosting into a quote you only see after the call.

We quote hosting and support per site, because a 5-page brochure and a 10-page site with a blog need different amounts of care, and there is no fixed list price yet. Since you own the files, you can host anywhere.

The pages themselves, a mobile speed check before launch, LocalBusiness and Service structured data, a tap-to-call number with tracking, Google Analytics 4 and Search Console in your account, and ownership of the domain and files. A quote that leaves those out buys a brochure.

The gaps are common. In our Space Coast audit of 97 businesses (March 2026), 1 of the 63 sites passed Core Web Vitals and 25.8% of businesses carried structured data, so most sites bought in the last few years were sold without either.

Our builds go live in 2 to 5 days on average once we have your services, towns, hours, photos, and domain login; copy that still needs writing adds time. Final Web Design in Miami says most business sites launch in two to three weeks once content and design are approved, and Succeeding Small lists about 4 to 8 weeks (November 5, 2026).

Ask what the clock depends on. Most delays are waiting on photos and approvals, not on the build.

Put them on the same terms: page count, who writes the copy, what is checked before launch, what you own, the monthly cost after launch, and the date it goes live. A $999 quote and a $6,000 minimum are not the same product, and a $2,500 template site with a $175 a month care plan costs $4,600 in the first year.

Convert hourly rates to pages. At $150 an hour, a $6,000 minimum buys 40 hours; ask how many pages that is. Then ask for one thing every studio can show: a mobile speed score for a site it built.
