How Much Does a Website Cost in 2026: Landing, Corporate Site, E-commerce, CRM & AI

Short answer: in 2026 a landing page with custom design in Ukraine costs from ₴45,000 ($1,100), a corporate website from ₴120,000 ($2,900), an online store from ₴150,000 ($3,600), a custom CRM from ₴180,000 ($4,300) and an AI integration from ₴120,000 (~$2,900). Below — no “trade secrets”: what sits inside these numbers, why one and the same page costs $100 and $10,000, and how to estimate your case in two minutes.

Three ways to get a website — and why prices differ by 100×

Everything sold under the word “website” is one of three fundamentally different products:

1. Builders (Wix, WordPress.com, Shopify Starter). $10–70/mo or a one-off $100–350 for “setup”. You rent a template. Speed and SEO are luck-of-the-draw: a typical builder site scores 40–55 in Lighthouse, which means Google simply will not show it on page one.
2. Template studios. $500–1,500 one-off. A premium theme is bought, “adapted” to your brand, filled with content. It looks fine for year one — then you discover the theme cannot be sped up, animated, or connected to a CRM without duct tape.
3. Turnkey custom development. From $1,100. A design system from scratch, code built for your task, architecture ready to grow. Expensive at the start, cheap to own: you will not need to “rebuild” it every two years.

Indicative 2026 price ranges (Ukraine, mid-market studios)

Site type	Budget	Mid-market	Turnkey (DEXA)
Landing / promo	$200–500	$600–1,100	from $1,100
Corporate site (5–10 pages)	$700–1,500	$1,700–2,900	from $2,900
Online store	$1,200–2,400	$2,900–4,800	from $3,600
Marketplace / SaaS	$3,600–7,200	from $7,200	from $6,800
Custom CRM	“setup” from $1,000	$2,900–6,000	from $4,300
AI integration (chatbot, agents)	$700–1,500	$1,900–3,600	from $2,900
Technical SEO + maintenance	$120–200/mo	$250–500/mo	from $360/mo

DEXA numbers are not the “lowest on the market”, and that is honest. Below them usually means: template design, animations bought at the cost of performance, or a “price valid until the first revision”. Details on the pricing page.

What actually eats the budget: 7 real factors

• Functionality, not page count. A 1,200-SKU catalogue with smart filters is not “more pages” — it is 200 ms search, live stock sync and payment integrations. See the Solomia Beauty case: +180% conversion in 4 months came from architecture, not pretty pictures.
• Animation & 3D. GSAP scroll storytelling adds 15–30% to frontend work, WebGL/3D scenes from +25%. In exchange you get the site that “does not look like everyone else” and holds attention.
• Languages. Each locale +10–20% (translation, hreflang, localised templates). For EU/US markets this is table stakes — and it is included in base packages.
• Integrations. ERP, shipping carriers, telephony, Stripe/WayForPay, your internal APIs — $100–700 per contour.
• Headless CMS. Editing without a developer costs +$500–1,000 upfront and saves dozens of dev tickets every year. Details in the headless CMS with Strapi guide.
• Content. Copy, photos, video, translation — a separate budget line; base copywriting is already in the Business package.
• AI module. A RAG chatbot or automation agent — from $2,900 with transparent token economics. Start with a process audit, as described in the AI automation guide.

Hidden costs: why “cheaper” ends up dearer

Bottom line

Do not compare “average market prices” — compare your case: the cost of a template site plus its redesigns and subscriptions versus one custom build that works for 5–7 years. If your website is a sales channel, the first option usually loses.
