In 2025, the cost to build a website for a coworking space—whether you’re launching a solo operator hub for freelancers in a small city, scaling a multi-location coworking chain across urban centres, or managing a flexible workspace provider with hot desks, private offices, and virtual mailboxes—ranges from $2,500 to $4,500 USD, with $3,000–$4,000 being the high-ROI sweet spot for most operators. This professional coworking website showcases space availability calendars, integrates instant membership booking, features virtual tours and amenity lists, and drives recurring revenue through day passes, monthly memberships, and event space rentals.

This comprehensive long-form guide breaks down coworking space website costs, essential features, platform comparisons, hidden expenses, ROI timelines, and real operator success stories to help you budget precisely for your coworking business, space management, and scalable membership model.

Why a $2,500–$4,500 Coworking Website Is Your Path to 90% Occupancy
The coworking industry generates $18 billion annually, with top operators achieving 85–95% occupancy and $210,000 average startup revenue in Year 1 (Optix Coworking Report, 2025). A strategic website converts 35–55% of visitors into tours or bookings—4x higher than social media alone (Coworking Insights 2025).
