Short answer: In 2026, Taiwan web design typically costs NT$15,000–40,000 for a one-page site, NT$40,000–150,000 for a 5–10 page company website, and NT$200,000+ for sites with features like membership or booking. When quotes differ 10x, the gap is usually custom design, the number of features and ongoing maintenance.
Three quotes from NT$30,000 to NT$300,000: what's the difference?
Bottom line: big quote gaps usually mean the three vendors are quoting different things.
An industrial parts company wants a new website and writes half a page of requirements. Studio A quotes NT$30,000, design firm B NT$120,000 and digital agency C NT$300,000. The owner fears two things: the cheap one won't work, and the expensive one is a rip-off. Break every quote into the same line items and the answer becomes clear.

The 6 components of web design cost
Bottom line: design and features drive most of the price; the rest are recurring fixed costs.
- Design: template about NT$5,000–20,000; custom home and inner-page design about NT$30,000–80,000.
- Pages and front-end build: each extra layout adds about NT$3,000–8,000; mobile should be included in the quote.
- Feature development: form notifications are cheapest; membership, booking and payments run about NT$30,000–150,000 each.
- Content: copywriting, photography and translation are often excluded and cost thousands to tens of thousands each.
- Hosting, domain and SSL: about NT$3,000–20,000 a year; free SSL certificates work fine, so no need to pay a premium.
- Maintenance: NT$1,000–5,000 a month, covering backups, updates and small edits.
ScriptWalker (a Taiwan-based Laravel/Flutter custom development studio) publishes its starting prices: websites from NT$15,000, systems from NT$80,000 and apps from NT$150,000, with every quote itemized across these 6 components.
Common traps: the real price of a cheap quote
Bottom line: a low price is fine; what isn't written down is what you end up paying extra for.
- Domain registered to the vendor: you cannot take it with you when you switch.
- Only one round of revisions: every later change is billed.
- No self-service CMS: even swapping a photo costs money.
- Hosting price jumps in year two: cheap first year, double on renewal.
- No source code: future features can only come from the same vendor.

- ☐ Do you need English or other languages?
- ☐ Does the quote include mobile?
- ☐ Are the domain and hosting registered to your company?
- ☐ Are revision rounds and scope written down?
- ☐ Can you update content yourself?
- ☐ How long is the warranty, and how is maintenance priced afterward?
- ☐ Do you need SEO or ad tracking after launch?
