How much does it cost to create a website? 2025 Website Pricing Breakdown

The costs of creating a general corporate official website mainly include the following aspects:

1️⃣ Domain Name Registration Fee:

Selecting a simple and memorable domain name is crucial for attracting potential customers. Generally, the annual fee for a .com or .cn domain name ranges from 30 to 100 RMB. This fee will be charged by cloud service providers such as Alibaba Cloud, and it needs to be renewed every year. If you are not familiar with the domain name filing process, you can entrust Alibaba Cloud to file it on your behalf, which will cost approximately an additional 600 RMB.

2️⃣ Server Fee:

The website content needs to be stored on a server to be accessible. The price of a basic-level cloud server starts at around 1,000 RMB. Small and medium-sized enterprises usually choose a server costing between 1,000 and 4,000 RMB, which can meet their needs. It is recommended to use servers from well-known brands like Alibaba Cloud to ensure website security. If the website has a low traffic volume, choosing Alibaba Cloud's cloud virtual hosting is also an affordable option, with an annual fee of approximately 700 to 800 RMB.

3️⃣ Website Design and Development Cost:

Display Website: Suitable for start-ups and micro enterprises, used for company introduction and product display, with a price ranging from about 800 to 10,000 RMB; 

Functional Website: If it is necessary to integrate features such as a membership system and online shopping, the cost will increase according to the complexity of the functions, and it may range from several thousand to tens of thousands of RMB; 

Marketing Website: If marketing planning and SEO optimization services are required, the website construction cost is usually between 5,000 and 30,000 RMB.

4️⃣ Website Maintenance Fee:

The operation and maintenance of the website after it is built are equally important. The basic maintenance package includes server management, data backup, security protection, etc., and the market price is approximately 1,000 to 4,000 RMB per year. The website after-sales maintenance service we provide costs 2,000 RMB per year, including website picture updates, text modifications, product updates, news releases, and server maintenance, etc. For start-up enterprises in the initial stage, if they only need a basic display official website, together with the regular domain name and server fees, and choose to build a template website, the total cost is approximately between 1,000 and 5,000 RMB to go live.

For medium and large enterprises that focus on brand image and user experience, considering customized design, advanced functions, and long-term operation and maintenance, the overall budget may exceed 10,000 RMB. The specific amount still needs to be determined according to the actual needs and strategic planning of the enterprise.
