How much does a wordpress website cost?
$150–$1,000 is the range sellers actually publish for this on Fiverr — we haven't independently verified it yet.
Speed and plugin bloat are what you inherit after handoff.
Fiverr's own category pages for this work pull an estimated 32,000 visits a month from search
Fiverr spends heavily to rank those pages, so what they rank for is a reasonable read on where the buyers actually are — a better one than our opinion of which category matters. It says nothing about whether any individual seller is good.
Across 9 Fiverr category pages covering this work.
About $32.51 a visit at auction prices — which is what makes this category expensive to compete in.

Fiverr's seller tiers are public and so are their criteria. What we can't tell you yet is whether paying up actually buys you more here — that needs us to commission the work, and we haven't.

Can you just do it yourself?
We haven't assessed this one yet. When we do, the question is whether the people reaching for a template are the same people who would otherwise hire someone — if they aren't, a big DIY audience doesn't actually compete for this work.
What a ranking here would turn on
The ranking will commission the same eight-page site from each tier and run Lighthouse on the result. The open question is whether plugin count predicts the score better than price does.
Four things worth settling first
None of these need us to have tested anything. They are the questions that decide whether the thing you get back is usable, and they are all cheaper to ask now than to argue about later.
- 1Ask for the plugin list up front and count it. Plugin count predicts your future speed problems better than price does.
- 2Confirm you get full admin access and that hosting is in your name.
- 3Ask whether page builder licences transfer to you or expire with the seller's.
- 4Insist the site is built on your hosting, not migrated from theirs at the end.
“how much does a wordpress website cost” is not one audience
Our keyword pipeline strips these out before judging demand, because they are not people looking to hire. What is left after stripping them is the share we actually price for.
We haven't shortlisted anyone here yet
When we do, this is where the specific sellers will be — each with what they charge and why they made the list. Until then there is no link out of this page. Sending you to the Fiverr category page would just hand the picking back to the marketplace's own ordering, and picking is the part we are supposed to be doing. The one thing we can already tell you: outside $150–$1,000 is worth a second look before you order.
