Your website is often the first impression a client has of you. It’s your best option for showcasing your brand and building that attraction and connection with a client. However when it comes to designing and building escort websites, the prices can be all over the place — and sometimes, far higher than what they should be.
Recently, I spoke with a client who was quoted $15,000 for a simple five-page WordPress website. This is an absolutely insane price and no provider should EVER spend this much on a website.
The challenge is that there’s no industry standard rate for designing and building a new website. Creatives are free to charge any amount they want and thus you end up with a confusing marketplace that has prices all over the place.
I’ll outline before some of my thoughts on roughly what an escort website should cost.
Option 1: Squarespace or Wix
Squarespace and Wix are popular platforms because they offer a wide variety of beginner-friendly website templates. Many providers can easily modify a template themselves to match their photos and branding.
The downside of using Squarespace or Wix is that you’ll often end up with a very generic-looking website—one that resembles all the other websites built on the Squarespace/Wix platform. In an industry as saturated as this one, blending in is going to limit your earning potential. Your website is your single most important branding element, so relying on a generic template will not help you attract quality clients.
If you’re just getting started in the industry and don’t yet have a strong brand, a Squarespace or Wix template can be a good entry-level option. However, keep in mind that the monthly fees charged by Squarespace and Wix are quite high compared to alternative website hosting platforms.
Cost of an Escort Squarespace or Wix Website
- Basic customization (uploading photos, adding text, light styling): $300 – $500
- Heavier customization (more tailored colors, fonts, and layouts): $600 – $800
Squarespace or Wix can be a good choice for providers who are new to the industry and simply want a straightforward website to get established. There are plenty of free templates available to choose from. I recommend never paying more than $500 for someone to build you a Squarespace or Wix website.
Option 2: Customized WordPress Website
If you’d like a more polished look and greater flexibility, a self-hosted WordPress website is your best option. This typically involves purchasing a premium theme and customizing it to suit your brand.
The main benefit of a WordPress website is that it can be tailored specifically to your brand. Unlike a generic Squarespace or Wix website, a customized WordPress website is designed to reflect your personality and business identity, helping you attract the type of clients you want.
A professionally designed website conveys refinement and luxury, signalling to clients that you take your business seriously enough to invest in quality presentation. Another benefit is inexpensive hosting. Unlike Squarespace or Wix, which charge extra for most new features, WordPress offers a vast ecosystem of free and low-cost plugins, thanks to its large developer community.
Cost of an Escort WordPress Website
- Minimal customization (theme installed “as is”): $800 – $1,200
- Moderate to heavy customization (colors, fonts, layouts, branding): $1,500 – $1,700
For most providers, a customized WordPress website is the best option. It gives you more control, remains cost-effective, and allows you to have a site that feels truly “you” rather than a generic template—without the expense of a full custom build. These are the types of websites I design and build. If you’d like to discuss having me create a website for your escort business, feel free to contact me.
Option 3: Fully Custom WordPress Build
For those who want something entirely unique—and have the budget for it—there’s the option of a fully custom WordPress website built entirely from the ground up to match your business branding. In this case, WordPress is used solely as the platform, while the theme is completely custom-designed and developed around you.
This requires advanced design and coding expertise, but the result is a website that reflects your personality and brand in every detail. It is typically the best option for high-end providers who want to stand out in a crowded industry and attract ultra-wealthy clients. A good example of this type of work is Honey Butter. If you browse his projects, you’ll see a level of detail and refinement that is entirely unique to each provider.
One critique of Honey Butter’s designs is that they are not always the strongest in terms of UX; they tend to perform better on desktop than mobile, and they are not fully optimized for SEO. That said, there’s no denying that his work is distinctive and visually striking.
Cost of a Custom Escort WordPress Website
- Custom build with unique design and subtle animations: $2,000 – $4,000
To maximize the value of a fully custom WordPress build, you should invest in professional photography. And by “professional,” this doesn’t mean simply hiring someone with a camera—it means working with a skilled photographer alongside a makeup artist, stylist, and ideally a studio setting. This option requires significant pre-planning, but when executed correctly, it allows your custom website to deliver its full impact.
| Website Type | Price Range | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Squarespace / Wix | $300 – $1000 | Template customized with your content, colors, and branding. Best for a quick, simple online presence. Realistically under $500 |
| WordPress Theme Customization | $800 – $1500 | A premium theme installed and customized (fonts, colors, layout) to fit your branding. Professional look without coding from scratch. |
| Fully Custom WordPress Build | $2000 – $4000 | A site built from the ground up with a unique design, custom code, animations, and full branding integration. Completely original. |
What To Look For
When shopping for a web designer for your escort website, a useful rule of thumb is this: a simple five-page site should NEVER cost more than $5000, and even this figure is on the extremely high side, unless your website involves significant customization. If you’re hearing numbers well above this range, pause to ask why it’s so high and it’s a good idea to get a second or third opinion.
It’s also important to recognize that there is no fixed pricing in the web design industry. Every designer sets their own rates, which is why you’ll see wide variations — just as there are wide variations in rates between providers. The prices I’ve outlined here are fairly common so if someone quotes you substantially more, it’s a signal to proceed with caution.
The ranges provided cover the design and build of a fully functioning website. Additional services — such as copywriting, photo editing, or SEO setup — may be offered, but typically come at an extra cost. Always clarify what’s included before you commit and PLEASE do not pay a lot of money for SEO. This is another common scam sold to unsuspecting providers. I’ll write another article on what you should do and look out for when thinking about SEO for your website but the short version is, SEO for escort websites should not be very expensive at all.
Above all, the right designer will make you feel comfortable, respected, and supported. Find a designer that understands the business side of your website. If the first question they ask you is, “what kinds of website do you like?” you’re dealing with the wrong person. If you want to know why it doesn’t matter if you like your website design or not?
