The verdict in three sentences
A corporate web platform for a New York group costs 150,000 to 400,000 USD in 2026, with a shared design system across brands. The real challenge is not one more page but content governance across subsidiaries and brand consistency. Expect 4 to 6 months of delivery and a strong CMS such as Sanity to let each brand publish without breaking the group's identity.
Budget by platform tier
A group chooses between a single corporate site and a multi-brand architecture. Here are the 2026 ranges for New York.
| Tier | Scope | 2026 cost (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate Standard | 20-35 pages, 1 entity, CMS | 60,000 - 120,000 |
| Corporate Premium | + investor area, 2-3 languages | 120,000 - 200,000 |
| Multi-site platform | Parent + 3-6 brands, design system | 150,000 - 400,000 |
| Interactive annual report | Data-viz, PDF, chapters | 25,000 - 70,000 |
| Investor relations area | Stock, releases, documents | 20,000 - 55,000 |
A group choosing the multi-site architecture gains consistency: each brand inherits the design system, cutting the marginal cost of each new site to roughly 25,000-45,000 USD.
What structures a group's budget
Beyond pages, governance, languages and integrations drive the price. Here is each axis and its impact.
| Axis | Base option | Group option | USD impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Governance | 1 admin | Multi-brand roles + workflow | +18,000 - 35,000 |
| Languages | English only | EN + 2 languages | +12,000 - 30,000 |
| Annual report | Simple PDF | Interactive data-viz | +25,000 - 70,000 |
| Integrations | None | CRM / newsletter / intranet | +20,000 - 55,000 |
| Maintenance | Basic | 99.9% SLA + monitoring | +1,200 - 3,000 /month |
Mini case study
Michael, VP of communications at a New York industrial group (4 brands, 900 staff), ran four disparate sites with no shared identity and four vendors billing 4,000 USD/month combined. He opts for a multi-site platform at 280,000 USD with a shared Sanity CMS. Result: a single maintenance contract at 2,000 USD/month (saving 2,000 USD/month, or 24,000 USD/year), time-to-publish cut by four, and a unified brand image for investors.

Why does a group site cost this much?
The cost comes from multi-entity governance, the reusable design system, languages and integrations (investors, intranet). It is editorial and technical complexity, not page count, that sets the budget.
Is the interactive annual report worth it?
For a group communicating with investors and partners, yes: an interactive report improves readability, SEO and image. Budget 25,000 to 70,000 USD depending on the richness of the data visualisations.
What timeline should we expect?
Four to six months for a multi-site platform, including discovery and content production. Getting brands to validate content is the main driver of delay.
Can we start with the parent then add brands?
Yes, and it is recommended: deliver the parent site and design system first, then each brand is added at a reduced marginal cost of 25,000 to 45,000 USD.
Which CMS for a group?
Headless Sanity fits well: fine-grained governance, roles, validation workflow and multilingual management. It lets each brand publish without breaking the group's identity.
