How Much Does a Website Cost in Louisville?

A Simple Guide for Local Business Owners in 2025

If you run a business in Louisville — whether it’s a barbershop in Germantown, an HVAC company in Jeffersontown, or a bakery in Clifton — your website is often the first impression people get. In 2025, it’s no longer optional. It’s your storefront, your sales rep, and your credibility all rolled into one.

So how much does a good website actually cost?

Let’s break it down in a simple, honest way that helps you plan smart — and grow strong.

The 3 Key Website Costs Every Louisville Business Should Know

When we talk about the cost of a website, we’re really talking about three main parts:

1. Website Development – The design and build

2. Hosting & Maintenance – The home and health of your site

3. Domain Name – Your digital address

1. Website Development

Building a Site That Works for You

This is where your site is designed, customized, and brought to life. At Callabridge, we build 75% of our websites on WordPress, and about 25% on Shopify, especially for eCommerce clients.

We don’t use one-size-fits-all templates. Instead, we build around your business goals and audience — whether that’s bookings for a barbershop, online quotes for HVAC, or showcasing work for a contractor.

Even Better: You Stay in Control

We install a drag-and-drop editor like Bricks or Elementor, so you can edit your site easily, even after launch. You can:

• Create new pages

• Change images and text

• Update hours, services, and more — all without needing a developer

This gives you the freedom of a Wix or Squarespace site, but with far more power, flexibility, and local support.

2. Website Development

The Lifeline of Your Website

Once your website is live, it needs a safe and fast place to live. That’s what hosting is. It also needs updates, security, and backups. That’s maintenance.

At Callabridge, we handle both.

You won’t have to touch a thing. No plugins to update. No site crashes. No confusing dashboards. We manage it all, right here in Louisville.

What’s Included in Callabridge Hosting?

• Fast and secure WordPress or Shopify hosting

• Weekly backups

• Software and plugin updates

• Malware scans and security patches

• Performance optimization

• Local, human support — not a chatbot

Our Plans Start at $29/Month

But we customize hosting based on your site’s size and needs. A local artist’s portfolio doesn’t need the same setup as a growing HVAC company — and we’ll price accordingly.

3. Domain Name

Your Business’s Online Address

A domain name is your web address, like www.louisvillehvacpro.com. If you already own one, great — we’ll connect it. If you don’t, we’ll help you pick the right one, register it, and manage it for you.

We also offer Callabridge subdomains for small startups, like yourname.callabridge.com.

Domain cost is usually $12 to $25/year, and we’ll just bundle it into your total project if you prefer.
