How much does a corporate website cost in 2026? Prices and scope
As of 11 October 2026, Ideal Studio lists RUB 180,000–250,000 for its entry-level corporate website package, while Moloko Group lists from RUB 400,000 for its format with custom design and integrations. 1PS publishes the costs of completed projects: RUB 180,000–470,000 for its Simple package and RUB 780,000–1.5 million for Standard. These figures cover different scopes and include historical project costs from one provider. They indicate the scale of expenditure, but do not establish a market average or the cost of your project.
For a business owner or marketer, the main question is what the budget delivers: service pages, content editing, enquiries, CRM integration, migration and operation after launch. This guide covers verified figures with their conditions, cost components and a way to define the first release. NBM-IT can provide an estimate after a brief for corporate website development.

How much does a corporate website cost? Offers and conditions
We checked three providers' pages on 11 October 2026. The table distinguishes a starting price, a package range and the costs of completed projects. This is neither a company ranking nor a statistical sample of the market.
| Provider and format | Published amount | Scope described by the provider | Details to clarify in a proposal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ideal Studio, IDEAL START | RUB 180,000–250,000, indicative package range | A corporate website without complex business logic | Template count, content population and acceptance scope |
| Ideal Studio, IDEAL BUSINESS | RUB 350,000–500,000, indicative package range | Expanded structure, SEO and integrations | Which integrations and workflows the price covers |
| Moloko Group, corporate website | From RUB 400,000, starting price | Structure of up to 20 pages, custom design, Laravel, integrations, training and two months of support | The extent of copywriting assistance and CRM exchange |
| 1PS, Corporate: Simple | RUB 180,000–470,000, completed project costs | Adaptation of a ready-made solution, CMS, basic SEO setup and analytics | A current estimate for your particular scope |
| 1PS, Corporate: Standard | RUB 780,000–1.5 million, completed project costs | Custom planning, design and search-led structure | Unique page count, copywriting scope and change terms |
Sources: Ideal Studio, Moloko Group, 1PS. Prices can change. 1PS labels these amounts as the costs of completed projects; they are not a promise to repeat a project at the same price. Check taxes, licences and exclusions in a current commercial proposal.
Avoid choosing a provider on the lowest figure alone. First list the deliverables: a working website, populated pages, credentials, integrations and instructions. A price without a scope cannot yet be compared with another proposal.
Which requirements change the budget?
Pages, templates and content
Count unique templates separately from the pages built with them. Fifty service entries using one template and fifty distinct layouts require different amounts of work. The condition of the content also matters: existing copy and photography, or interviews, editing, photography and population from scratch.
For each section, record who prepares the data, who checks it and who publishes it. Content population in an estimate may cover only uploading materials supplied by the client. It does not automatically include copywriting or image preparation.
A ready-made solution or custom design
Test a ready-made solution against your workflows: can an editor add a service, can a visitor compare service areas, and can enquiry details reach the CRM? Establish limitations for the specific platform, licence and available API.
Custom design adds planning, layout approval and development of the required interface states. Clarify which mobile screens, forms, error messages and revisions are included. Choosing WordPress, 1C-Bitrix or a framework alone does not determine quality or the final cost.
Integrations and migration of an existing website
Connecting a CRM can mean sending a single form or building an exchange with owner assignment, duplicate prevention and recovery after failure. Before estimating, agree fields, identifiers, repeat submission rules and test access. Treat unknown API capabilities as a separate investigation task.
Redesigning an existing website requires an inventory of pages, documents and URLs. If it already receives search traffic, allow for URL mapping, redirects and analytics checks. Preparation is covered in our corporate website migration guide.
Operation and support requirements
Editing, staff roles, backups and updates affect the project. Describe the actions staff must perform independently, who can access enquiries and how restoration will be tested. Assess security, load and availability against the actual workflow rather than a universal technology checklist.
Clarify who will maintain the chosen CMS, modules and integrations. Initial development does not automatically cover price updates, new service areas, repairs after CRM changes or subscription payments.
What work makes up an estimate?
There is no universal percentage breakdown. For a service website, structure and content may account for much of the work; for a catalogue, data and filters; for a CRM-connected project, exchange and failure handling. Request stage estimates with clear deliverables.
| Project stage | A deliverable to agree | What determines the scope |
|---|---|---|
| Research and structure | A section map, visitor tasks and first-release scope | Business areas, audiences and available information |
| Planning and design | Page templates and interface states | Template count, mobile workflows and approvals |
| Development and CMS | Working pages, editing and permissions | Content model, roles and custom functions |
| Website content and migration | Prepared and published materials | Copy readiness, record count and old URLs |
| Integrations | Agreed exchange with external systems | APIs, fields, retries and failure handling |
| Corporate website testing and launch | Acceptance record, published website and credentials | Browsers, forms, migration and operational requirements |
| Website handover and support | Instructions and an agreed maintenance process | Owners, updates and boundaries for changes |
If you already have several proposals, use our website development estimate comparison table. It helps put included work, exclusions and unknown tasks on a common basis. This guide focuses on budgeting your own scope before choosing a provider.
How much should you allow for the first year?
Request separate lines for the one-off launch, licences and recurring payments. State the calculation period, for example twelve months from launch. For subscriptions, establish payment and renewal dates; for support, the included work and the end of any free period.
Cost for the selected period = one-off work + licences and renewals during the period + recurring payments for the actual months used + agreed additional work.
Check whether a licence has been counted in both development and a separate line. If support is included for the initial months, do not add it again. If a line remains unpriced, label it as requiring clarification, assign an owner and state what is needed to estimate it.
Items to check usually include the domain, hosting, CMS and paid modules, form and mailing services, support, new content and promotion. An item on this list is not necessarily a required purchase: the architecture and task determine the scope. Ownership costs help plan expenditure; payback requires your own enquiry, sales and margin data.
How to reduce the first release
List the actions without which the website cannot fulfil its launch purpose. For a service company, these might be choosing a service area, understanding the terms, viewing a relevant case study and making an enquiry that identifies the service. Link each action to pages, data and a test.
| First-release decision | Possible effect on scope | What to retain in acceptance |
|---|---|---|
| Reuse service templates | Fewer unique layouts and states | Distinct content, practical editing and navigation |
| Defer an unvalidated client portal | Fewer roles, screens and data exchanges | A working way to obtain the required service or document |
| Start with an agreed enquiry form | A simpler initial integration | Enquiry delivery, context and error handling |
| Launch one language when editorial content is unavailable | Less copy and fewer language workflows | A complete selected version and a plan for the next |
Reduce functions after checking the consequences. If a customer needs a catalogue-based calculation, do not replace it with a basic form without agreement. Keep existing URL migration, credentials, backups and enquiry checks in the agreed acceptance scope.
For a clinic, staff profiles and booking workflows add further requirements. These sector-specific costs are covered in our clinic website cost guide.
Which SEO preparation work is worth budgeting for?
Launch scope can include a structure serving visitor tasks, substantive pages, metadata, indexable URLs, internal links, a sitemap and analytics. A redesign also needs old URL checks. Specify these deliverables instead of a general statement that SEO is included.
Test speed and mobile display on actual pages and devices. According to Google's page experience documentation, Core Web Vitals are used in ranking, but good scores alone do not guarantee top positions. Google also states that AI Overviews and AI Mode require no additional special optimisations beyond ordinary SEO practices.
In the 11 October update, we removed the previous claim of an automatic ranking penalty when loading exceeds two seconds: there is no evidence for such a universal rule. The old price segments and average budget have been replaced with figures from named sources; they were not verified market statistics.
What to prepare for an estimate
Before requesting an estimate, gather a section map, page examples, template and content counts, editing requirements, integration systems and launch conditions. Separately identify the existing website, content readiness, owners and desired date. Mark unknown information explicitly in the brief.
Define acceptance: an editor can create a page, a visitor can find a service, a form passes the correct data, a failure is not reported as successful submission, old URLs are handled, analytics records agreed events, and credentials are handed over. This makes the scope testable and helps discuss changes before development begins.
FAQ
Can you quote a price from page count alone?
Page count helps estimate content population, but does not reveal unique templates, integrations, roles or migration. Specify both counts and user actions so the estimate covers work that can be checked.
Is a ready-made solution always cheaper?
A ready-made solution reduces some planning and development if its capabilities match the task. Check licences, adaptation, content and support costs. Custom changes may alter the initial estimate.
Does development include promotion?
The proposal determines the scope. Launch SEO preparation and ongoing work on content, search queries and links may be priced separately. Request deliverables and a working period for each line.
How can an integration be estimated without CRM access?
Separate the preliminary workflow description from system investigation. Until the API, permissions and test access are confirmed, an integration estimate contains assumptions. State who will validate them and when the final scope can be agreed.
