            &lt;h1&gt;What is the Average Cost to Build a Website?&lt;/h1&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The average cost to build a website can range from a few hundred dollars for a basic DIY site to over $25,000 for a complex custom build. For a professionally designed small business website (5-10 pages), the average cost typically falls between **$2,500 and $10,000**. The final price depends heavily on the complexity, features, and level of customization required.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;video-placeholder&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #000; aspect-ratio: 16 / 9; width: 100%; margin: 2rem 0; border-radius: 10px; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; border: 2px dashed #3a3a3a;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Video explaining website cost factors&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;h2&gt;A Deeper Dive: What Determines the Cost?&lt;/h2&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;The price of a website is like the price of a car—a basic model gets you there, but custom features, high performance, and luxury details add to the cost.&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;h4&gt;1. Design Complexity&lt;/h4&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;A simple website using a pre-made template will be the most affordable. A fully custom design with unique branding, animations, and a complex user interface will require significantly more design and development time, increasing the cost.&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;h4&gt;2. Number of Pages&lt;/h4&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;A simple 5-page &quot;brochure&quot; site (Home, About, Services, Blog, Contact) will cost less than a 50-page site with multiple service pages, case studies, and a large blog archive.&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;h4&gt;3. Special Features and Functionality&lt;/h4&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;This is one of the biggest cost drivers. Features like e-commerce functionality, custom calculators, membership portals, booking systems, or complex forms all require specialized development and add to the final price.&lt;/p&gt;
