Start with requirements, then compare prices.
A quote for five information pages is not directly comparable with a store offering checkout and inventory. First write down the purpose of the site, intended visitors, essential information, and desired enquiries. This gives a developer a clear boundary for a proposal.
What changes the scope?
Page count is one component. Design detail, content preparation, and connections to other systems also affect the work. Ask for a distinction between included work, optional additions, and material your team needs to provide.
- Pages and templates: a simple service page differs from a listing with many attributes.
- Content: writing, photography selection, translation, and migration should be scoped.
- Functionality: booking, checkout, payments, filters, and user accounts add development and testing work.
- Integrations: API compatibility, account access, licences, and maintenance responsibilities need review.
A reference point from averra.id packages.
Essential is currently Rp3.000.000 for up to 5 pages; Business is Rp5.000.000 for up to 10 pages. Both include a year of hosting and domain registration, with payment on completion. These are averra.id package prices, not a market price survey. Online stores and functions requiring bespoke development receive a Custom quote.
Check the costs after launch.
Ask about domain and hosting renewals, third-party licences, support, and content updates. If the site accepts payments, provider charges are discussed separately. Do not assume these costs are included simply because a proposal covers a completed website.
A short brief makes a proposal more useful.
Prepare page requirements, sample content, languages, core functions, systems to connect, and who will update the site. Include your budget and preferred timeline. A developer can then explain first-stage priorities and work that can follow later.
This guide covers website planning. Your project scope and cost are determined after reviewing requirements and content.
