Website design cost calculator for UI UX projects
This website design cost calculator turns your scope into a price range and timeline, based on the published price ranges for our four UI UX design engagements. No email needed to see the result.
How does the website design cost calculator work?
The website design cost calculator maps your answers to one of our four published engagement types, then places your scope inside that range. A UX audit runs $5,000–$15,000 over 2–3 weeks. A research and UX design sprint runs $25,000–$60,000 over 4–8 weeks. Full design with a design system runs $60,000–$180,000 over 8–16 weeks. An embedded design team runs $15,000–$40,000 per month.
Screen count, platforms, research depth, a design system and the accessibility target move your estimate up or down inside the range. The result covers design work only, not development. What each engagement includes is listed under its name in the result.
What drives the cost of website and app design?
- Unique screens or templates. Each distinct layout needs its own wireframe, UI design and states. Repeated pages built from one template cost far less than unique ones.
- Platforms. A website, an iOS app and an Android app each need layouts for their own sizes and patterns.
- User research. Interviews and usability testing add time, but they cut redesign work later.
- Design system. A reusable component library takes longer up front and speeds up every later release.
- Accessibility. Designing to WCAG 2.2 AA adds contrast, focus, target-size and screen reader specs to each component.
How accurate is a design cost estimate?
A design cost estimate from this calculator is a starting range, not a quote. Every project begins with a free consultation and a fixed-scope proposal, and every engagement is governed by a separate written proposal or agreement. Use the range to plan a budget or compare proposals from agencies.
