If you are planning a new business website, the first question is usually simple: what will it cost? The honest answer depends on the size of the site, the content, the features and how much work is needed before launch. A one-page website, a multi-page service site and a WooCommerce store are different projects.
This guide explains the current SiteForge website packages, what is included in each one, what you pay after the first year and when a custom quote makes more sense than a standard package.
How much does a SiteForge website cost?
For standard WordPress business websites, SiteForge currently offers three starting packages. The price depends mainly on how much content the website needs and how many pages and enquiry features have to be built.
- Starter: €449 for one page. A focused one-page website for a small business that needs a clear, professional online presence, contact details and a simple route to enquiries.
- Business: €649 for up to seven pages. A proper multi-page website for businesses with several services, separate pages, contact forms and a clearer structure for visitors and search engines.
- Growth: €999 for 10+ pages. A larger website for businesses with more services, locations, products or content, with additional enquiry features such as live chat where required.
- Ecommerce websites are quoted separately. WooCommerce stores need their own discussion because products, payments, delivery, tax, accounts, integrations and testing can change the scope considerably.
These are our current standard package prices. If you need a shop, booking system, membership area, custom integration or a large migration, we will review the requirements and quote the actual scope rather than force it into the wrong package.
What is included in the SiteForge website packages?
The website scope and page structure
Starter keeps the content on one focused scrolling page. Business gives you up to seven separate pages, which is more useful when you have several services or need clearer navigation. Growth is intended for larger websites with 10 or more pages, additional locations, more content or more involved enquiry requirements.
The build is made in Bricks Builder
We build the website in WordPress using Bricks Builder. That gives you a visual editing environment instead of a site that can only be changed by editing code. After launch, you can update text, images and standard page content from the WordPress dashboard. The annual package includes the Bricks Builder licence used for the website, so the editing setup remains practical for day-to-day changes.
Content and materials
A good website still needs clear information about the business. We use what you provide, help shape the page structure and prepare the site so the content is easy to follow. Your quote should make clear whether copywriting, professional photography, stock images or extra content preparation is included.
Additional functionality
Contact forms, Google Maps, CAPTCHA, booking forms and live chat are included where the package and project require them. Ecommerce, membership systems, advanced booking logic and custom integrations need a separate scope because they require more setup and testing.
SEO, analytics and launch setup
The website packages include on-page SEO foundations, analytics setup, social sharing previews, Search Console setup and sitemap submission. That is the technical starting point, not a promise of instant rankings. Ongoing SEO, keyword research and content campaigns are separate services when the business needs them.
What happens after the first year?
The first year of hosting and the domain are included with the website package. From year two, renewal is €199 per year. That covers the domain, SiteForge hosting, analytics, panel access and the included website environment. Other work, such as larger content changes, new features or ongoing SEO, can be added separately when you need it.
- Hosting and domain: the first year is included in the website package; from year two, the standard renewal is €199 per year.
- Security and SSL: SSL, cookie consent setup and security hardening are included in the website packages.
- Analytics and email: analytics setup and professional domain email are included, with the exact mailbox setup depending on the project.
- Bricks Builder package: the website is built in Bricks Builder and the annual package includes the Bricks licence used for the visual editing environment.
- Support: six months of support are included after launch. Ongoing maintenance, updates and larger changes can be arranged separately.
Before choosing any provider, ask who owns the domain, what access you receive, what happens if the site breaks and what is included in the annual renewal. With SiteForge, the website runs on our managed WordPress environment, and you can continue editing normal page content visually through Bricks Builder.
DIY builder, freelancer or SiteForge package?
DIY builders
Wix, Squarespace and similar platforms can be useful if you want to build everything yourself. The monthly cost may look low, but you still provide the structure, design, copy, SEO, troubleshooting and ongoing management. You also work inside that platform's editing system rather than a self-hosted WordPress website.
A freelance web designer
A freelancer may be a good fit for a small project, especially when you want direct communication. Check what happens after launch, where the site is hosted, whether licences are included and whether you will be able to edit the website yourself.
A managed SiteForge build
SiteForge combines the website build with managed WordPress hosting, security setup, analytics, a visual Bricks editing environment and direct technical support. That is useful when you do not want to assemble a designer, hosting company and maintenance provider separately.
What should you check before buying a website?
- Project scope and a clear list of pages
- Design and revision process
- Mobile and tablet optimisation
- Content responsibilities
- Contact forms and required integrations
- Basic technical and on-page SEO
- Analytics and conversion tracking
- Testing, launch and training
- Hosting, maintenance and licence costs
- Ownership and payment terms
How to avoid paying twice
The cheapest quote is not always the cheapest project if hosting, licences, email, security or support are missing. Compare the actual deliverables and the renewal terms, not only the large number at the top of the quote.
For many small businesses, the Business package is the sensible middle ground: enough pages to explain several services, enquiry forms and a proper structure without paying for a larger site than you currently need. You can expand WordPress later if the business grows.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a one-page or multi-page SiteForge website?
The current Starter package is €449 for one page. Business is €649 for up to seven pages, and Growth is €999 for 10 or more pages. Each package includes the first year of hosting and the domain, plus the features listed on the website service page.
What happens after the first year?
The standard renewal is €199 per year from year two. It covers the domain, SiteForge hosting, analytics, panel access and the included website environment. Larger changes, new features, maintenance work and ongoing SEO are separate when needed.
Is hosting included in the website price?
Yes, the first year of hosting and the domain are included in the standard website packages. After that, the website renewal is €199 per year. Separate hosting plans are also available if you already have a website and only need hosting.
Will I be able to edit the website myself?
Yes. The website is built in WordPress with Bricks Builder, so you receive a visual editing environment for normal content changes such as text, images and standard pages. The annual Bricks licence package is included. More complex structural or technical changes can still be handled by SiteForge.
Choose the package around the business, not just the page count
Starter works when one focused page can explain the offer. Business is usually a better fit when you have several services and want separate pages, forms and clearer navigation. Growth is for larger structures, more content and additional features. If the project is a shop or needs custom functionality, we will quote it separately.
SiteForge designs, builds, hosts and supports WordPress websites for businesses in Cork and across Ireland. Our packages are designed to give a small business a real website, a usable visual editor and a clear technical setup without turning the project into a large agency exercise.
