Straight talk on pricing

Why website prices are so opaque

Three reasons you get quotes between €500 and €50,000 for the same project — and how to spot the fair price.

Hidden hourly rates

Many agencies bill by effort — the risk is on you. The more complex it gets, the more expensive. A fixed price moves the risk to the provider.

Builder vs. pro

€500 offers are almost always builder sites without SEO, strategy or code ownership. Fine for a hobby — rarely fine for customer acquisition.

Hidden follow-up costs

Hosting, maintenance, licences, copy, images: up to 40% of real costs aren't in the quote. Our calculator surfaces them.

FAQ about website costs

What does a website cost in 2026?

Market prices in 2026: landing pages €1,500–3,500, business websites €4,000–9,000, online shops €6,000–15,000, web apps from €10,000. The exact price depends on scope (number of pages, features), design ambition (template vs. custom) and strategic add-ons like SEO and copywriting.

What does a website cost per month?

Realistic ongoing costs: €10–30/month for hosting and domain. With professional maintenance (updates, backups, security, small changes) add €79–199/month. Without maintenance you risk security gaps, downtime and worse Google rankings.

Why are website prices so opaque?

Price depends on scope, design ambition and features — but also on whether strategic services like SEO, copywriting and conversion optimisation are included. A cheap website that doesn't bring customers is the most expensive option in the end.

Agency vs. freelancer — what does a website cost?

Agencies in 2026 charge €90–150/h and deliver business websites from ~€8,000–25,000. Experienced freelancers charge €70–110/h and build the same quality for €4,000–9,000. The difference is rarely quality, but overhead (office, account managers, sales).

What does an online shop cost?

A professional online shop in 2026 costs between €6,000 (Shopify with standard theme) and €15,000 (custom-built with bespoke features). Plus monthly platform fees on Shopify ($29–299/month). Self-hosted (WooCommerce, Shopware) saves the monthly fee but requires maintenance.

What ongoing costs should I plan for?

Hosting & domain: €10–30/month. Optional maintenance & support: €79–199/month. SSL certificate: usually included in hosting. Plus optional SEO retainer (€300–1,500/month) and content updates (variable). Without maintenance, performance, security and rankings drop.

Is the calculator really free and non-binding?

Yes, fully free and non-binding. The estimate appears instantly without entering data. Only if you want the detailed PDF or a concrete fixed-price offer do we need your email. No newsletter, no unsolicited sales calls.

Do you offer fixed prices?

Yes, exclusively. After the free initial call you receive a fixed-price offer with a clearly defined scope and timeline. The cost risk lies with us, not with you. We deliberately don't offer hourly billing because it shifts cost risk to the client.
