How much does a website cost in 2026

Published 2026-07-25 · 6 min read

The price depends on scope, but that does not mean numbers cannot be discussed. Here are the ranges genuinely charged in the region and the EU, and what makes the difference inside them.

Ranges by type of site

  • Brochure site, up to six pages, design, contact and SEO basics: 400 to 1,200 EUR.
  • Business site, more pages, multilingual, blog, deeper SEO: 900 to 2,500 EUR.
  • Online store with catalogue, payments and shipping: 1,500 to 5,000 EUR and above.
  • Custom application or platform, bookings and member areas: from 3,000 EUR, priced by scope.

These are indicative ranges for professionally built projects, not a price list. A fuller version with a scope calculator sits on the pricing page.

What actually moves the price

Not the page count by itself, but how much real content each page demands. Ten pages that must be written from scratch cost more than twenty pages when the text and photos already exist. Then: custom design versus adapting a proven layout, languages, because each language is real content and not a switch, and special features such as booking, a member area, or integration with a system you already use.

The costs that repeat

The build price is not the whole cost. Every year there is the domain and hosting, and maintenance where needed: security updates, backups, small edits. A site without maintenance is not cheaper, the cost is only deferred until the day something breaks. What that amounts to is broken down in the piece on maintenance cost.

How to spot a quote that will grow

  • A price given over the phone, before anyone has seen what you are building.
  • A quote with no list of pages and features, just one figure and a deadline.
  • No clarity on who writes the text and who supplies photos, the most common cause of delay.
  • Nothing written about who owns the code and the accounts after handover.
  • Nothing about what happens with changes after launch.

Common questions

What does the simplest website cost?

A brochure site of up to six pages typically runs from about 400 to 1,200 EUR, depending on design and who writes the content.

Why do quotes vary so much?

Because different scopes are being compared. A template with no content and a custom design with copywriting are not the same job.

Are there costs after handover?

Yes: domain and hosting annually, and maintenance if you want it. That is agreed up front, not afterwards.
