Paying someone to design your website in Orlando runs anywhere from $1,500 to well over $12,000, depending on who you hire and what you're actually getting. Those ranges reflect genuinely different products.
A $1,500 website might be a freelancer who builds everything on a WordPress template in two days and calls it done. A $10,000 website from an experienced agency should be a custom-built, SEO-architected, conversion-optimized digital asset that generates leads for the next five years. Whether the expensive one is worth it depends entirely on whether the agency actually knows what they're doing.
Based on Goodfirms' 2025 survey of over 100 web development companies, here's where pricing consistently lands:
These assume a US-based agency or experienced independent developer. Offshore development is cheaper upfront. It's also slower, harder to communicate with, and often requires a complete rebuild 18 months later when the business needs changes the original team can't support.
A 20-page service business website for an Orlando contractor — covering core services, specific service areas, the team, testimonials, a blog section, and a contact page — costs between $6,000 and $12,000 from a legitimate agency with experience building sites that actually rank.

How REK does it: A fully custom-coded 20-page website — written from scratch in HTML/CSS, no WordPress, no themes, no page builders — is included with our SEO packages starting at $795/month. We've been building them this way since 2003. Custom code loads faster, gives complete technical control for SEO, and doesn't require calling a plugin developer when something breaks.
Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy — $20–$50/month. Fine for new businesses with minimal competition. For established Orlando service businesses competing for HVAC or roofing leads — limited SEO control, slow load speeds, generic designs shared with thousands of others.
$1,500–$8,000 upfront. Most-attacked platform on the internet. Template designs carry code from features you never use. Plugins need constant updates and break after WordPress core updates — sometimes automatically, overnight.
$3,500–$15,000+. No unnecessary code. No plugins. No platform vulnerabilities. No third-party subscriptions. A custom HTML/CSS site is built for exactly what the business needs. Loads fast. Ranks better. Yours outright.
Custom-coded site included with every SEO package starting at $795/month. Hosting, unlimited revisions, and technical SEO foundation included. No WordPress, no templates, no hidden costs.
The build is the upfront expense. These are the ongoing costs to plan for:
