Your project estimate
Your choices
Prices in US dollars are converted from yen at about ¥150 = $1.
Estimates are indicative ranges based on market rates. Actual quotes depend on exact requirements.
What drives website costs?
Design complexity
Custom, animated or brand-led design takes 2 to 3 times longer than template-based work. It's worth it when how your brand looks drives sales.
Feature scope
Each integration (payments, accounts, content management) adds development time. Deciding the must-haves up front stops the scope and cost from creeping.
Timeline pressure
Rush projects need dedicated attention and often push other work back. Flexible timelines let work be batched, which keeps costs down.
Who you hire
Freelancers usually cost less than agencies. A designer who also builds covers both ends, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate are these estimates?
They're indicative ranges based on market rates for custom development. Real quotes can vary by about 30% either way, depending on your exact requirements. Use this as a starting point for a budget conversation.
Does this include hosting and maintenance?
No, it covers the initial build only. Hosting typically costs ¥1,500 to ¥15,000 a month depending on traffic, and ongoing maintenance is quoted separately.
Can I build a website for less than this?
Yes. Website builders like Wix or Shopify can cost much less for simpler projects. Custom development is worth it when you need features, speed or a brand look that a template can't give you.
What's included in a project with Aakash?
Planning, wireframes, design, development, launch and 30 days of support after launch. You work with one person across design and code, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.
