Every figure here comes from the figures you enter and the method stated beside it: your page count, your hours per page, your builder's or agency's rate, your content cost and your monthly platform cost. Where a guide names a published figure it names the source and the date it was read. This site publishes no legal opinion on what your site must carry, no ranking promise and no accessibility audit; those are your lawyer's, your marketer's and an accessibility specialist's.
A review website template is the page structure a business uses when the site's job is to hold reviews: a product review site, a directory that rates local services, or a company's own page of customer reviews. What it has to carry is decided less by taste than by the rules on reviews, which now say who wrote a review, when, and whether they were paid has to be recorded. This page sets out the parts a review website template needs, what it costs to build one on a builder or from a template, and what a product review website template adds.

Decide what the reviews are of and who writes them
A product review website template rates things the site does not sell; a website review template on a business's own site collects reviews of that business. The first needs a comparison layout and an affiliate disclosure; the second needs a submission form and a way to verify the reviewer bought something.
Build the review record before the page
Every review needs the reviewer's name or handle, the date, the rating, the text and whether anything was given for it. That is the record the FTC's consumer reviews rule expects a business to be able to stand behind, and a template that only stores stars and a sentence cannot produce it later.
Cost the template against the record it has to keep
A static template with hand-typed reviews is a few hours on a builder. A template with submissions, moderation, verified-purchase flags and a schema markup for the star rating is a small application, and the cost worksheet on this site prices it as pages plus a feature line rather than as a page.

Review website template: common questions
Do I need a special template for a review website? You need a template that treats a review as a record with a reviewer, a date, a rating and a disclosure, not as a quote in a box. Most builders have a review block that does the first; the moderation and verification come from a plugin or an application, and that is where the cost sits.
What does a product review website template need that a normal site does not? A comparison layout that puts several products side by side on one page, an affiliate disclosure near the top of every page that carries a paid link, and a way to keep the reviewer's identity and date with each review so a challenged review can be backed up.
Can I buy reviews or write them myself to fill the template? No. The FTC's rule on consumer reviews, in force since 21 October 2024, bans fake reviews and reviews written by insiders without disclosure, and a template that launches with invented reviews launches with a liability. Start with the record empty and collect real ones.
