Building a branded website or online store is now essential for virtually every business. Yet development costs vary enormously. For a typical Hong Kong SME needing 10–20 pages, prices range from HK$2,000 to HK$80,000, averaging around HK$30,000 to HK$40,000. Costs fall into three categories: web design, hosting, and domain registration. ANGLIA breaks it all down.
The biggest factor is the build approach. Template ("canned") sites use purchased themes—HK$2,000–HK$12,000. Custom sites are designed and coded from scratch with bespoke CMS, priced by page structure and functionality.
