Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a website builder cost per month?
It depends on the base fee, sites, editors, transaction fees and annual discount you enter — the calculator does not assert vendor prices. The model combines those lines, then adds setup in year one.
Is Wix or Squarespace cheaper for a small business?
The cheaper option depends on your plan's base fee, included sites and editors, and whether it charges a transaction fee on sales. Enter each plan's own numbers rather than comparing headline prices.
Do website builders charge transaction fees on sales?
Some lower-tier plans do, while higher tiers often waive the fee. Enter the percentage your quote shows; the calculator applies it to the monthly online-sales figure you provide.
How do extra editor seats affect the price?
Each plan includes a number of editors and then charges per additional editor. Add your real editor count so a low base fee does not hide a high per-seat cost.
Should I pay annually for a website builder?
Annual billing usually discounts the base fee but locks in spend. The calculator shows both totals and the saving so you can weigh the discount against flexibility.
Does this calculator use real vendor prices?
No. Every rate is entered by you; presets are example rates, not vendor quotes. That keeps the tool accurate without stale or scraped pricing.

Methodology

Monthly total = base fee + extra sites + editor seats + transaction fees + setup; the annual total applies your prepay discount. All prices are user inputs.
