How the Website Design Cost Calculator Works
Trying to figure out how much to charge for your next website project — or wondering if you’ve been undercharging? This calculator is built specifically for Showit website designers and uses real pricing data from the Creative Designer Directory to guide your rates.
We combine a base rate, common add-ons (like SEO, copywriting, and branding), and a multiplier based on your experience level to estimate what you should be charging. Whether you’re new to the industry or fully booked, this tool helps you confidently price your services based on real trends, not guesswork.
What the Calculator Takes Into Account.
01. Your Experience Level
Choose whether you’re a beginner, mid-level, or expert designer. This helps you charge appropriately based on your experience and demand. The tool applies a multiplier to reflect your skill level and market positioning.
02. Number of Website Pages
Not all websites are created equal — a 3-page site is very different from a 10-pager. The calculator adjusts your price based on the size of the site, so your quote reflects the actual workload.
03. Project Scope & Add-ons
Include key project features like SEO, copywriting, branding, blog setup, or third-party integrations (like email marketing or booking tools). Each option adds value and complexity — and should be priced accordingly.
04. Custom vs. Template Design
Designing a site from scratch takes more time than customizing an existing template. The calculator distinguishes between full custom builds and template customizations so your pricing reflects the creative lift required.
What to Use This Calculator For?
Use this calculator to feel confident in your pricing. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in the game for years. It’s designed to help you stop undercharging, price your services with confidence, and make sure you’re getting paid for the full value of what you offer.
Use it to recognise when you should be charging more, spot opportunities to increase your income with add-ons, and understand how much you can earn by white-labelling services like copywriting, SEO, or branding through trusted collaborators.
*A Note on Flexibility
This calculator is a guide — not a rulebook. Your pricing can (and should) reflect more than just deliverables. Things like client experience, process, strategy, and support all add value.
If a project is complex or outside the norm, you’re absolutely allowed to adjust beyond what the calculator suggests. Think of it as a baseline for smarter, more strategic pricing.

What’s the Best Design Level for Me?
Not sure which level to choose? If you’re just starting out or still building your portfolio, Beginner is the best fit. Mid-Level is ideal if you’ve booked a few projects, know your way around Showit, and offer solid value. Expert is for seasoned designers who consistently deliver high-end, strategic websites and charge premium rates. If you’re between levels, Mid-Level is a safe starting point — you can always adjust as you grow.
