Web Design Philippines Pricing: Costs, Packages and Value

Start with the type of website you need, then compare the work included. A basic setup, a custom brand experience, and a store with payment and delivery rules are different projects.

The first three ranges are published budget references, not fixed quotes; their scopes overlap. The final two rows are my package prices. Source note: website-type pricing reference, checked September 8, 2026. Hosting, maintenance, content production, and integrations must be checked separately.

Two quotes for a five-page website can cover very different amounts of work. These are the differences that matter most.

In my builds, foundational SEO is included. Pro and Max also make room for collaborative design decisions, so your positioning, content, and customer journey shape the result. Express keeps the custom design and development but uses a faster staging-first review process.

Confirm content production and third-party integrations in the proposal. A booking embed and a custom scheduling system should never be treated as the same deliverable.

Ask for a second total alongside the build price: the cost to keep the website running for its first year. Check the renewal cost for year two as well, especially where the first year is discounted or included.

For my packages, managed platform hosting after the included three months is $30 per month (₱1,800). Website care and search plans are alternatives that include hosting; they are not all stacked together. Branded transactional email is separate. The pricing page lists the current options.

A low setup price can become expensive when the business needs more than the original theme allows. The costs usually appear in a few places.

• Paid plugins and renewals. Forms, booking, memberships, page builders, and other features can each introduce a separate licence or subscription.
• Compatibility and maintenance. A WordPress build combines the core platform, theme, and plugins. Updates need checking, and conflicts or abandoned plugins can require paid repair or replacement work.
• Design workarounds. Changing a theme beyond its intended layout can mean custom CSS, extra extensions, and repeated testing. You can end up paying for custom work while keeping the original constraints.
• Performance cleanup. Heavy page-builder output, unused theme features, and added scripts can create loading problems that need another round of development to address.
• A second build. If your content model, booking flow, or brand direction outgrows the template, migration can mean paying again for design, development, content transfer, and redirect planning.

These costs depend on the implementation. The practical question is whether the proposed setup already supports the business you are building. If it needs extensive customisation from day one, paying for a purpose-built website can be the better use of your budget.

My builds avoid the WordPress theme and plugin stack. You pay for the design and functionality your project needs, with hosting and optional ongoing services stated separately. Custom software still needs maintenance, but you are not buying a collection of theme workarounds as the foundation for your business.

For a platform-based store, the ₱70,000–₱250,000 reference range above is a starting point. Product variations, inventory, delivery zones, payment methods, and custom workflows determine the final scope.

My ecommerce setup add-on is ₱90,000 ($1,500) on top of the selected website package. It covers a product catalogue and Stripe card checkout, with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link where eligible. For example, Bespoke Pro plus ecommerce setup is ₱390,000 ($6,500) before hosting beyond the included period and other extras.

An additional payment provider, such as PayMongo for GCash or Maya, starts at ₱30,000 ($500) per provider. Payment-provider eligibility, transaction fees, and any platform subscriptions are separate from development fees.

Before agreeing to a store budget, define the number of products to set up, variations, shipping rules, stock management, and order notifications. These determine whether the standard add-on covers the work or a broader estimate is needed. See the ecommerce website cost guide for the full scope discussion.

My work is custom-designed and built with SvelteKit. Clients work directly with me. The packages differ in page count, design collaboration, editing tools, and features for managing enquiries.

Prices are in US dollars, with PHP equivalents calculated at ₱60 per $1.

All four include three months of managed platform hosting, SSL, CDN, technical SEO, and 30 days of post-launch support. Managed data and media storage are included where the project needs them. Timelines depend on the agreed scope, content readiness, and feedback.

The additional editable content area in Express and Pro is agreed before development. Max includes unlimited page creation from the layouts built for your site; new layout designs are a separate scope.

Ecommerce and connections to external business tools are separate add-ons. Pro and Max include their own light custom CRM. Connecting it to an existing customer relationship management (CRM) system, such as HubSpot or Salesforce, is separate work. See the full package inclusions and add-ons before comparing a quote.

A CRM is a customer relationship management tool. In Pro and Max, it is a private dashboard built around your agreed website forms, so you can manage enquiries and follow up without juggling email threads and spreadsheets.

• Collect enquiries and requests from the agreed forms in one place.
• See each contact's source and what they are interested in.
• Organise contacts with stages and tags.
• Keep internal notes for each contact.
• Search, filter, and export your contacts as a CSV file.

The scope focuses on the everyday work of a service business: know who enquired, what they need, and what to do next. Advanced sales automation, marketing email campaigns, and connections to external CRM platforms are separately scoped. Customer accounts and login-activity tracking require separate scope.

Bespoke Pro includes this light custom CRM at $5,000 (₱300,000). Max adds dashboard-only follow-up dates and due reminders, alongside full-site content editing, reusable page layouts, and lead reporting. Reminder emails are not included.

The deeper collaboration in Bespoke Pro and Max is a major part of their value. We work through your positioning, customer questions, content priorities, and design direction together. You bring the knowledge of your business; I translate it into a website customers can understand and use.

Discovery and research shape the sitemap and the purpose of each page. We identify the proof, content, and actions those pages need before polishing the layouts. This is where we resolve questions such as which service to lead with, how to explain your difference, and what a prospective client needs to see before contacting you.

Your website should launch with its search foundations in place. Every package includes technical SEO and structured content, so this work is considered during development instead of left as a separate repair job after launch.

• Clear page structure. Descriptive headings and organised content help visitors and search engines understand each page.
• Search metadata. Page titles and descriptions communicate what the page covers and how it relates to a search.
• Crawlable architecture. Internal links, canonical URLs, crawl rules, and sitemap support help search engines discover and interpret the right pages.
• Relevant structured data. Markup describes the business and appropriate page content in a format search engines can process.
• Mobile performance. Responsive layouts, media handling, and loading behaviour receive attention during the build.
• Launch checks. Search Console and sitemap submission are part of preparing the site for search visibility.

For a multi-page site, the structure also gives your services and expertise room to grow. A useful service page can explain a specific offer in depth instead of burying everything on one generic page. My on-page SEO guide explains how page intent, content, internal links, and metadata work together.

An ongoing SEO retainer extends that foundation with continued research, new content, search-performance analysis, and optimisation. The build includes the foundation; a retainer funds the continuing work to expand it.

An hourly rate is useful when the work is ongoing or hard to scope in advance. A fixed project fee is easier to compare when the deliverables and revision limits are clear. In either case, ask for the expected total and the process for approving extra work.

My packages use fixed project fees, so you can see the deliverables and investment before committing. Working directly with me connects your budget to senior design and development expertise, with one person accountable for both.

For more on evaluating that expertise, see hiring a web developer in the Philippines.

Send each provider the same short brief. Include the required pages, content you already have, editing needs, integrations, launch date, and who will approve the work.

Before signing, get clear answers to these questions.

1. Which layouts and functions are included, and which are optional?
2. Who writes and uploads the content?
3. What can I edit myself after launch?
4. How many revisions are included, and what counts as a scope change?
5. Who owns the domain, design files, source code, and third-party accounts?
6. What testing and handover are included?
7. What are the first-year and renewal costs?
8. What happens if either side delays or ends the project?

Ask to see a similar completed website and, where possible, its editing interface. A portfolio image shows visual work; it does not tell you whether a form works or whether the owner can update the content.

For a healthcare website, identify which system will handle booking and sensitive intake information before pricing the work. Keep that scope explicit rather than assuming a theme, framework, or hosting plan makes the whole website compliant.

Deposit and milestone arrangements vary. The agreement should state what starts the work, when each payment is due, what you review at each milestone, and when ownership or access transfers.

A short timeline is possible for a tightly scoped custom page with ready content. A larger project with multiple decision-makers and integrations needs more time. Ask which assumptions support the promised date and what happens if they change.

For my work, the package timelines above reflect different processes. Express starts with a staging build for review; Pro includes a collaborative design stage. The proposal confirms the payment schedule and scope for your project.

Use additional profit, not total revenue, when deciding whether a website project is affordable. Include the build, ongoing costs, and any extra marketing needed to attract customers. Separate new business from sales the old website would already have generated.

For example, suppose an improved website brings two additional customers a month, each contributing ₱5,000 after the cost of delivering the service. That is ₱10,000 in additional monthly contribution. If extra website and marketing costs are ₱3,000 a month, ₱7,000 remains toward recovering the build cost. A ₱140,000 build would take 20 months to recover under those assumptions.

This is a hypothetical budgeting example, not a prediction. Test the assumptions against your enquiry volume, close rate, margins, and capacity. Higher website spending does not automatically produce more leads.

Start with the customer action you need: an enquiry, a booking, a purchase, or access to useful information. Fund the pages and functions needed for that action, then identify what can wait.

If you want a custom site, compare my packages and inclusions or book a discovery call. Bring your page list, required integrations, and budget. I can then tell you which scope fits and what would need a separate estimate.
