Guides for shop owners
How much does a small shop website cost per month?
Website costs come in two parts: building it, and keeping it running each month. Look only at the cheaper of the two and you’ll pay more later, in money or in time, whenever something needs changing.
Three routes
- DIY builder — you pay a monthly fee (typically a few tens of thousands of won) and add the text and photos yourself. Every change is on you
- Agency build — a few hundred thousand to several million won up front. Later changes go back to the agency, sometimes at a fee per request
- Monthly managed service — little or no upfront cost, and a monthly fee. You can hand off the changes
Be sure to check
- Whether the domain (.com) is included — usually around ₩20,000 a year
- Whether you can take the site files and the domain with you if you leave
- Whether adding languages raises the price
- Whether VAT is included
