How much a business-card site costs and how long it takes
Robert MirovUpdated Jul 10, 2026
“A business-card site in three days, cheap” sounds simple — until you clarify texts, mobile, speed, languages, forms, domain, and access. In Tashkent, Samarkand, and other cities in Uzbekistan, the same word “business card” means different scope from different contractors. A business-card site (sayt-vizitka) is a small company website (usually 3–7 pages) on your own domain: services, trust, contacts, sometimes a portfolio. Price and timeline depend not on the format name, but on scope: page count, design (template or custom), who prepares content, how many languages, which integrations (form, Telegram, CRM). Below is a calm breakdown for business owners: what is included, timeline and budget guides, what raises cost and stretches the calendar, what to check in the “cheapest” offer, and what to lock in the contract. No hype and no guarantee of “the lowest market price”. The UZNEO brand helps pick a format for the job — not sell extra pages.
01What a “business-card site” usually includes — and what it is not
It is not always one page. More often it is 3–7 screens/pages of an ongoing showcase:
• homepage with an offer (short value proposition) and contact CTAs
• services or directions
• about / team / trust proof
• contacts with a map
• sometimes portfolio, “from” prices, FAQ
| Format | When it fits | Typical scope | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic business card | Ongoing showcase: services, trust, contacts, search | 3–7 pages | |
| [Landing](/en/services/web/landing) | One promo / one service for ads | 1 page under one offer | |
| [Corporate site](/en/uslugi/korporativnyj-sajt-tashkent) | Many sections, branches, SEO cluster | 10+ pages |
| Before | After | |
|---|---|---|
| “We need a business-card site” with no page list | Page list + languages + who writes texts | |
| Mixing business card and landing | Business card = base; landing = campaign | |
| Jumping straight to a “20-page portal” | Start with the needed minimum, grow later |
An honest brief starts with: how many services to show from day one? How many languages? Do you need custom design? Where do leads go — form, Telegram, call? More on format roles: why a business needs a business-card site and business card vs landing vs Instagram.
02What builds the scope (and why “business card” ≠ one price)
A contractor prices work volume, not the word “business card”. Two projects with the same name can differ by 2× — and that is normal when scope differs.
Core scope blocks:
• number of pages and homepage blocks
• design: ready template / light adaptation / unique layout
• content: your texts and photos, or studio copy and processing
• languages: one language, or RU + UZ (etc.) with real localization — not machine translation “as is”
• mobile (responsive) — required: most traffic is from phones
• forms and notifications (email, Telegram)
• basic SEO base: title/description, headings, speed, sitemap, HTTPS
• integrations: CRM, online booking, chat widget
| Parameter | Cheaper / faster | More expensive / slower | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design | Template / light adaptation | Unique visual with several iterations | |
| Content | Ready texts and photos from you | Copywriting + shoot / large archive processing | |
| Languages | 1 language | 2+ with proofreading, not “run through a translator” | |
| Integrations | Form + Telegram | CRM, booking, complex flows | |
| Timeline | Normal calendar | Rush “for the ad launch date” |
What should be on the pages — in what a business-card site should include. UZNEO service: business-card site.
03Timeline: guides and what really stretches the calendar
A contractor’s timeline almost always assumes ready texts and photos on your side and one person responsible for approvals. If content is missing — the calendar slips regardless of how fast the layout is built.
| Scope | Timeline (guide) | What’s inside | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | ~3–5 working days | Home + contacts, template design, your content | |
| Standard | ~1–2 weeks | 4–6 pages, responsive, forms, basic SEO base | |
| Custom design + languages | ~2–4+ weeks | Unique layout, RU/UZ (etc.), more blocks, iterations |
What usually eats days:
• waiting for texts, logo, photos, company details
• revisions without one decision-maker — “we’ll check with the partner”
• “one more page” and structure changes mid-project
• rush with no buffer for approvals
• several languages without ready translations
| Before | After | |
|---|---|---|
| “Do it in 3 days” with no content | Content ready → mini 3–5 days is realistic | |
| Revisions from five people in chat | One owner + approval deadlines | |
| Ads launch on the day the site is delivered | Buffer of at least a week for checks and fixes |
If you need a launch date for ads — reserve buffer on your side: text approval, phone check, a test lead. Otherwise the site is “done” while the campaign waits a few more days.
04Budget: soft ranges and what raises the price
Figures below are a soft guide for Tashkent and the Uzbekistan market — not a UZNEO price list and not a guarantee. Rates and ranges change; an exact quote comes only after a brief.
| Level | Budget guide | Usually includes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | from ~3–7M UZS (~$250–550) | Template/light adaptation, your content, 3–5 pages | |
| Working | ~8–15M UZS (~$650–1,200) | Responsive, forms, basic SEO base, 1 language + prep | |
| Design / 2+ languages | from ~15–25M UZS (from ~$1,200) | Unique visual, localization, integrations |
What raises a [business-card site](/en/services/web/sayt-vizitka) cost:
• unique design vs a ready layout
• studio copywriting (especially for legal/medical accuracy)
• photo/video or large archive processing
• several languages with real localization
• Telegram notifications, CRM, online booking
• SEO base beyond the minimum (structure for a query cluster)
• rush and weekend work
A cheap offer often means: template “as is”, content without your specifics, weak mobile screen, no SEO base, no post-launch support. That is not always wrong for testing a hypothesis — but you should know it upfront, not be surprised six months later.
Format and 12-month budget comparison: business card vs landing vs Instagram.
05Content: who writes texts and where photos come from
Content is a common hidden driver of timeline and budget. Without texts and photos you can still “build” a site technically, but launching with placeholder copy is usually pointless for a real business in Uzbekistan: clients will not see services, “from” prices, address, or proof.
| Who prepares | Plus | Minus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| You | Accurate facts, brand voice, cheaper build | You need delivery deadlines; otherwise the calendar stalls | |
| Studio | One style, faster from a blank start | Copywriting in the quote; interviews and revisions needed | |
| Hybrid | You provide facts, studio builds structure | One shared approval document is required |
Practical minimum from the business owner:
1. Service list in plain words (what you sell / do not sell).
2. Geography: city, district, on-site visits.
3. Contacts: phone, Telegram, address, working hours.
4. 5–15 photos of work / office / team (even from a phone, but relevant).
5. 2–3 differentiators: timelines, warranty, experience, licenses — without fluff.
If the studio writes texts — put that in the quote and calendar: interview, draft, revisions. Without it, “a site in a week” almost always slips on your side, not on layout.
06What to check in the “cheapest” option
Not scare tactics — a calm checklist. Saving at the start sometimes becomes a rebuild in 6–12 months.
Risk checklist:
• site on someone else’s builder with no export — moving ≈ starting over
• weak mobile (Instagram, maps, Telegram traffic)
• domain and hosting in the contractor’s name — changing vendors = losing the site
• placeholder texts and stock without your specifics (city, services, “from” prices)
• no HTTPS or a slow first screen on 4G
• revisions “always extra” with no round limit in the contract
• no basic SEO base: title, headings, sitemap, clean URLs
| Before | After | |
|---|---|---|
| Chose by the lowest number in chat | Compared scope, access, mobile quality | |
| Domain under the freelancer “for convenience” | Domain and hosting under the company / owner | |
| “We’ll do SEO and texts later” | Minimum content and SEO base before handover | |
| Unlimited revisions | 1–2 revision rounds locked in the contract |
Calm path — lock scope, access, and acceptance criteria from day one. A cheap start is fine if you knowingly take a template and will update content yourself.
07Domain, hosting, access, and life after launch
The “build a site” quote is only part of ownership. After launch you still have domain (the site name), hosting (where files live), price and service updates, backups, and sometimes small fixes.
| Question | Healthy answer | |
|---|---|---|
| Whose name is the domain under? | Yours / the company | |
| Who pays hosting yearly? | You; the contractor may help administer | |
| Where is admin access? | With you; contractor by role | |
| Who changes prices and photos? | Written down: you / contractor / both | |
| Is there a backup? | Yes, and clear ownership |
After handover, check:
• the site opens on a phone without horizontal scroll
• the form / Telegram button actually delivers a lead
• map and phone match Google Business / 2GIS
• HTTPS is on; the browser does not warn
• title and description fit the service and city
A business-card site without traffic stays quiet: next come maps, SEO, content, or ads. If the site already exists but leads are weak — see why a site does not generate leads.
08Pre-contract checklist — and when a business card is the wrong format
1. Page and language list — what’s in the quote, what’s extra.
2. Who writes texts and when you deliver them (or pay for copywriting).
3. 2–3 live sites from the portfolio — open on a phone, check speed and readability.
4. Domain, hosting, access — in your name; how they are transferred after payment.
5. Post-launch — small fixes, backup, who updates prices and services.
6. Revision round limit and what counts as a “new page”.
7. Don’t mix jobs — business card for the showcase; turnkey landing for a promo and Ads.
| Situation | Better start with | |
|---|---|---|
| Need a lasting “about the company” link | Business-card site | |
| Running Ads with one offer | Landing | |
| Many services, branches, cases | Corporate site | |
| Site exists, needs a rebuild | Site creation / rebuild |
At UZNEO we quote a business-card site after a short brief: no hidden “that’s extra” on base lead blocks. Overview: web services.
Summary
Cost and timeline of a business-card site are a function of scope, design, content, languages, and integrations — not the magic word “business card”. Use day/week timelines when content is ready, soft budget ranges, and a clear page list. Check mobile, forms, and access before final payment. A cheap start can be fine — if you understand you are buying a template and own content and updates. A higher start is justified when you need a unique visual, two languages, and integrations for leads. If you need a budget for your case — write in Telegram or see UZNEO web services: we’ll pick a format without extra pages and lock scope before the contract.
