How Much Should a Corporate Website Cost in 2026?

Quotes for a company site usually fall between NT$30,000 and NT$300,000 or more. The gap comes from four variables: how many pages and how complex the design is, whether you need an admin, whether payments or other systems must be connected, and what the maintenance plan covers. Below is what each variable changes in the quote, so you can see which line you are paying for when you compare proposals.

The Four Variables That Drive a Quote

1. Page Count and Design Complexity

A simple brand site — home, about, services, contact — with a fully custom design usually sits around NT$30,000 to NT$80,000. Custom interaction, animation, or another language moves the price up. Another language is not a copy of the same page: menus, body text and form hints are built again. Animation and custom interaction are design and front-end hours, not the monthly hosting fee.

2. Whether an Admin System Is Needed

A site that only displays, and rarely changes, can skip an admin. A wording change or an image swap is the vendor editing the file, billed the way your maintenance terms say, not you logging into an admin. If you need to publish and unpublish products yourself, post news yourself, or read registration records yourself, you need a custom admin. That part usually adds NT$50,000 or more. The amount follows how many functions the admin has, not the three words “has an admin.”

3. Payment and Third-Party Integration

Connecting card, ATM and convenience-store payment codes, connecting logistics, or exchanging data with an ERP or member system you already run, is usually the widest gap in the quote. The vendor has to test a successful payment, a failed payment, and a refund or a voided authorisation, and keep the card number at the payment provider instead of writing it into your database. At the inquiry, name every system: which payment provider, which logistics provider, which ERP, which member system. A list added after the quote becomes a change order.

4. Maintenance Plan

Launch is not the end of the job. It is the start of someone having to maintain the site. Maintenance is usually per request, or a monthly or yearly retainer. The plan should say who does three things: who renews hosting when it expires, who applies security updates, and who changes text on the page. Before you sign, ask the vendor whether changing one word that is already live sits inside the monthly fee or opens a new invoice, and who is allowed to request that change. Otherwise you find out after launch that one word is billed again.

How to Judge Whether a Quote Is Reasonable

• Ask the vendor to split the quote: page design, admin, payments and logistics, maintenance. Do not accept only one total.
• Check whether the quote includes the admin, payment integration and maintenance after launch, or only page design and go-live. If it is only the pages, do not treat that number as the price of the whole job.
• Ask who pays each year for the domain, the hosting and the SSL certificate, and whom they pay. Those three usually renew every year. Paying the build quote once does not include them forever.
• When you compare vendors, send the same page list, the same admin functions and the same systems to connect. The numbers that come back are then about the same job.

How we quote

We start with a discovery conversation to see whether the site has to display, take enquiries, or let you publish products and take payment yourself. Then we quote by page count, admin functions and which systems must be connected. Each line on the quote names the function it pays for. We do not fold the three into one total. If you already have another vendor’s quote, send it and we will read which line is pages, which line is the admin, which line is payments, and whether maintenance is missing. We are reading that sheet with you. We are not rewriting the other vendor’s price.
