Website Cost Calculator
A website quote shows the build fee. This shows the rest: monthly plans, renewals and the charge for every change, added up over one, three or five years — next to what the same years cost on Quantum Accord.

Questions to ask before you accept a quote
- Who owns the code and the domain? If the domain is registered in the agency's name, leaving them is hard.
- What does a change cost after handover? A new price list or photo can be billed every time.
- What renews, and at what price? First-year hosting and domain offers often renew higher.
- What happens if I stop paying? With a monthly builder, the site usually goes offline.

Questions people ask
What should I include in the cost of a website?
Five things: the build or design fee, anything billed monthly (a builder plan, hosting or a maintenance retainer), anything billed yearly (domain renewal, business email, licences), and what you'll pay for changes after handover — the charge per change times how many you'll ask for.
Why compare over several years instead of the price today?
Because the build fee is paid once and the other costs keep coming. A small monthly fee multiplied by 60 months is often larger than the build fee itself, and it never shows up on the first quote.
Are the numbers already in the calculator real market prices?
No. They are sample inputs so the calculator shows something when the page opens. Replace them with the quote you were actually given.
How is the Quantum Accord side calculated?
From our published prices: the plan you choose, paid once; hosting at $10 once, for life; your own domain at $19 a year; and $29 a year per business inbox. Text, photo and colour changes are made yourself in Quantum Tune at no charge.
Is anything I enter saved?
No. The calculator runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent to our servers.
