How much will a new headless website cost?

Website prices can vary significantly depending on factors such as the project’s complexity, the extent of customisation needed, and the number of unique features or components required. Simpler informational websites will naturally be less costly than bespoke designs that require substantial custom coding or advanced integrations.

Other elements influencing pricing include content creation, search engine optimisation (SEO) considerations, third-party integrations, and the experience level of the development team. At Mativus, we work closely with you to clearly define your needs, ensuring you receive the best possible value for your investment.

Yes, after your website is built, there are ongoing costs associated with hosting, maintenance, and support. At Mativus, these fees typically range from $135 to $375 per month, depending on the package chosen. This covers secure, high-performance hosting, regular technical updates, routine security checks, backups, and proactive support to keep your website running smoothly.

These ongoing services ensure your website remains secure, fast-loading, and fully operational, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to focus on running your business rather than managing technical issues.

To reduce your website costs without compromising quality, start by clearly defining your essential requirements. Prioritise features and customisations that directly align with your business goals, and consider opting for a simpler design or fewer custom components initially. At Mativus, customers often begin with our entry-level Initium package and then upgrade to the Incrementum or Optimus packages as their business and online presence expand.

Additionally, planning your content and site structure in advance can streamline the development process, reducing overall costs. Our team will work closely with you to ensure your website is cost-effective, high-quality, and scalable for future growth.

We design websites using components, which are similar to Lego bricks. Each component is a reusable block of content or functionality that can be arranged in different ways to create unlimited pages. This approach gives you far more flexibility and avoids restricting you to a set number of pages.

Using components also makes it easier and more cost-effective to update your website. Instead of redesigning whole pages, you can simply adjust or add individual components, allowing your site to grow and evolve as your business does.
