The straight answer for 2026, Chicagoland pricing: $1,800 – $4,500 one-time for a site built to bring in customers — not just to exist.
The low end covers a sharp, fast, professional site with the essentials done right. The high end adds the growth machinery — more pages targeting more searches, booking or ordering flows, automation. What moves the price is scope, not mystery.
1. a pre-order form for cakes and catering with real lead-time rules
2. photo galleries organized by occasion, not by date
3. pickup/delivery info that answers before they call
