How much does a website cost in Argentina in 2026?

It's the first question we get on every call, so let's get straight to it: in Argentina, in 2026, a professional website costs between USD 800 and USD 8,000 or more, depending on the type of project. The gap isn't arbitrary — it comes down to scope, design, and features. In this guide we'll walk through the real price ranges, what pushes a quote up or down, what it costs to maintain a site after launch, and how to read a quote without getting blindsided.

The short answer: what each type of project costs

• +Landing page (a single page focused on conversion): USD 800 — 1,500.
• +Company website (5 to 10 sections, CMS for editing content): USD 1,500 — 3,500.
• +E-commerce (catalog, payments, shipping, analytics): USD 3,000 — 8,000.
• +Custom development (web apps, complex integrations, platforms): from USD 8,000.

These ranges reflect professional work with original design — not tweaked templates. If a quote comes in way below that, it's almost always a generic template with your logo slapped on — and it shows, and Google notices too. Let's break down what each type of project includes.

Landing page: USD 800 – 1,500

A single page built to get the visitor to do one thing: buy, inquire, book. Includes conversion-focused copywriting, original design, an integrated form, and basic tracking. It's the go-to option for ad campaigns and fast launches: online in 2 to 3 weeks.

Company website: USD 1,500 – 3,500

5 to 10 sections — home, services, about, contact, blog — with a CMS so your team can edit content without touching code. Within that range, the price climbs with the number of pages, the design level, and extras like multi-language support or catalogs. It's the standard format for service businesses looking to rank on Google.

E-commerce: USD 3,000 – 8,000

Catalog, product pages, checkout, payment gateways like Mercado Pago, shipping calculation, and sales analytics. Within the range, catalog size and integrations — billing, inventory, logistics — drive the difference. Here design isn't decoration: your conversion rate lives or dies in every checkout detail.

Custom development: from USD 8,000

Platforms, web apps, complex integrations with internal systems, customer portals. This is quoted by scope, not by page: you scope out what the system needs to do first, and the number comes after. If a provider hands you a custom-development price with no discovery process, be suspicious.

Why do quotes vary so much?

Because "a website" describes the wrapper, not what's inside it. Two quotes for "the same website" can be pricing completely different scopes. Here are the three variables that matter most:

Custom design vs. template

A template is cheaper upfront and more expensive down the line: it caps your brand, your speed, and your SEO. Custom design takes more hours of work, but the site ends up built for your business and your customer — not for the average of the internet.

Features

A contact form is one thing; a product configurator, a customer portal, or an integration with your billing system are another. Every feature gets its own line item — which is why the initial brief matters so much.

Content and SEO

Who writes the copy? Who optimizes titles, metadata, and structured data? If the answer is "nobody," the site is going to look nice and sit empty. Baseline technical SEO should come included; ongoing content and rankings work is usually quoted separately.

How much does it cost to maintain a website?

Maintaining a website costs, at a baseline, between USD 10 and 30 a month for hosting and domain. On top of that, depending on the case, you may have tool licenses and a technical maintenance plan. It's not a cost to shrug off: an outdated or down website costs you customers, not just money.

• +Hosting: USD 10–30 a month depending on traffic and platform. It's the ceiling on your site's speed — skimp here and you pay for it in load time.
• +Domain: renews once a year and is the smallest cost on the list. What matters isn't the price — it's that it's registered in your name.
• +Licenses: premium plugins, fonts, or third-party tools. These should be itemized in the initial quote.
• +Maintenance: updates, security patches, and backups. On WordPress it's not optional; on static sites it's minimal.

The hidden costs you need to ask about

• +Hosting and domain: USD 10 to 30 a month depending on the project. Ask who manages it and whose name it's registered under.
• +Licenses: premium plugins, fonts, stock photos. Should be itemized in the quote.
• +Maintenance: updates, security, and backups. As an optional monthly plan — not as leverage over you.
• +Post-launch changes: how many rounds of revisions are included in the price, and what the extra hourly rate is.
• +Code ownership: once you've paid, the site and its code should be yours. If they're not, you're renting your own website.

Why are website quotes priced in dollars?

Because the industry's inputs — hosting, licenses, tools — are paid for in dollars, and because quoting a two-month project in pesos in an inflationary economy forces the price up just to cover the risk. A dollar-denominated quote protects both sides: you know exactly what the full project costs, and the studio doesn't have to renegotiate halfway through. Payment is usually made in pesos at the exchange rate of the day, across two or three milestones.

Freelancer, agency, or DIY: what changes the price

Self-service platforms — Wix, prebuilt templates — have close to zero upfront cost, but you pay with your time and hit a low ceiling fast: generic design, limited SEO, and nobody thinking through strategy. For a hobby or an early-stage project, they can be enough; for a business that lives off its website, they fall short quickly.

A freelancer usually quotes below an agency, and there are excellent freelance professionals out there — the risk is depending on one person for design, code, copy, and support all at once. An agency costs more because a full team is involved and because it's accountable for the entire result. For a project your revenue depends on, that price gap is usually smaller than the cost of having to redo everything.

How to ask for a quote that actually works

Come into the call with three things clear: what the site needs to achieve (sales, inquiries, bookings), what sections or features you're picturing, and examples of sites you like. With that, any serious studio can give you a fixed price within a few days. Be wary of two extremes: the one who gives you a number without asking a single question, and the one who won't commit to any number at all.

Red flags to watch for before signing

• +A price with no questions asked: if they hand you a number without learning about your business, they're selling a template, not a project.
• +Everything "unlimited": unlimited changes, unlimited pages. Nobody gives away hours for free — the limit shows up later, in quality.
• +No written deliverables: which sections, which features, what timeline. If it's not in the quote, it doesn't exist.
• +The site is registered under the provider's name: domain, hosting, or code you can't take with you. That's not a discount — it's a leash.

A cheap website that doesn't sell is more expensive than a well-built one that does.
