The straight answer for 2026, Chicagoland pricing: $1,500 – $3,500 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 live location/schedule block people actually check
2. catering inquiry capture — that's where the margin lives
3. a menu built for sunlight-glare phone screens
