How much does a Webflow website cost?
Webflow hosting costs $15 to $25 a month on a yearly plan; having a freelancer build the site usually costs $1,000 to $15,000 depending on size.
Short answer: A Webflow site has two costs. Hosting on Webflow costs $15 a month for a simple site or $25 a month if you need a blog or other content you update, both billed yearly. Having a freelancer design and build it usually costs $1,000 to $6,000 for a template-based site and $5,000 to $15,000 for a small custom site.

What does Webflow charge each month?
Webflow charges per site, in US dollars, with tax added at checkout. Most small businesses need one of three plans:
| Plan | Price (billed yearly) | Best for | Main limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $15 a month | A brochure site with no blog | 300 static pages, 10 GB bandwidth |
| Premium | $25 a month | A site with a blog, case studies or regular updates | 20,000 CMS items, 40 collections |
| Ecommerce Standard | $29 a month | A small online shop | 500 products, 2% transaction fee |
Webflow describes Basic as being "for simple sites that don't need a CMS." If you might add a blog later, it's easy to upgrade, so starting on Basic is fine.
What does it cost to have it built?
Most of the cost is the time to design and build the site, not the platform. What you pay depends on who builds it and how much is custom:
| Who builds it | Typical rate | Typical project |
|---|---|---|
| Freelancer on a marketplace | $20 to $45 an hour on Upwork | Template-based site, $1,000 to $6,000 |
| Experienced UK freelancer | Around £466 a day | Small custom site in one to three weeks of work |
| Agency | Project price | $5,000 to $15,000 for a defined marketing site, more with strategy and copy |
Upwork notes that "rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions." Freelancers in lower-cost countries often charge less for the same work.
A worked example: a six-page bakery website with a blog
Here's a realistic first-year budget. The build time is our estimate for a site based on a good template, with the owner supplying the words and photos.
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Webflow Premium (blog needed), 12 months at $25 | $300 |
| Build: about 40 hours from an intermediate freelancer at $59 an hour | $2,360 |
| Or the same build from a UK freelancer: 5 days at about £466 | £2,330 |
| Domain name | Set by your registrar |
So a simple, professional Webflow site lands at roughly $2,500 to $3,000 in the first year, and about $300 a year after that for hosting, unless you pay for changes.
What makes the price go up?
- Custom design instead of a template. Designing from a blank page takes far longer than adapting a template.
- Number of page types. Ten pages sharing one layout cost less than five pages that all look different.
- Moving old content. Moving dozens of old blog posts or products into the CMS takes extra time.
- Writing and images. Most quotes assume you supply the words and photos. Ask if you need them written.
- Integrations. Booking tools, CRM forms and shops add setup time.
To get quotes you can compare, write one short brief (what the site is for, the pages you need, two or three sites you like, and your deadline) and send the same brief to each freelancer.

Questions
Is Webflow cheaper than WordPress?
Hosting usually costs a little more on Webflow, from $15 to $25 a month on a yearly plan, but hosting, security and updates are included, so there are no plugins or separate backup services to pay for. Build costs from freelancers are broadly similar for both, because most of the cost is design and setup time rather than the platform.
Can I pay for Webflow monthly instead of yearly?
Yes. Every paid site plan can be billed monthly or yearly, and yearly billing is the cheaper way to pay. The prices Webflow advertises, such as $15 for Basic and $25 for Premium, are the per-month cost when you pay for a year up front, with tax added at checkout.
Do I need a Webflow Workspace plan as well as a site plan?
Usually not, if you are the business owner. A Workspace plan is for whoever builds and manages sites, so freelancers often pay for one themselves, such as the Freelancer Workspace at $16 a month billed yearly. Once a freelancer hands the site over, you normally only pay for the site plan.
Which Webflow plan does a small business need?
If the site is a handful of pages that rarely change, Basic is enough: it allows up to 300 static pages and 10 GB of bandwidth a month. If you want a blog, case studies or any content you add often, you need Premium, which includes the CMS with up to 20,000 items. An online shop needs an Ecommerce plan.
How long does it take a freelancer to build a Webflow site?
A small site built from a template can take a few days of work. A custom-designed site with a blog usually takes two to six weeks from brief to launch, because design rounds, copy and feedback take longer than the build itself. Having your words and photos ready before work starts is the quickest way to shorten that.
