If you run a small business, you have probably asked: how much should a website cost? Online answers range from €50 to €10,000, which is not helpful. The real price depends on what your business needs.
What Affects the Price?
- Type of website. A simple business site with a few pages costs much less than an online store with products, payments and shipping.
- Custom design or template. Templates are cheaper, but many businesses end up looking the same. A custom design helps you stand out.
- Number of pages. 1 to 3 pages (home, services, contact) is enough to start.
- Features. Contact forms, WhatsApp buttons, online ordering and payments all add work.
- Speed. A slow website loses visitors and ranks lower on Google, so optimisation matters.
Typical Price Ranges
- Business website (1 to 3 pages): from around €250
- Online store: from around €800
- Restaurant QR menu with WhatsApp ordering: from around €150
- Website speed audit: around €80
- Support and maintenance: monthly plans for security, backups and updates
These are starting points. Your final price depends on your exact requirements.
Hidden Costs to Ask About
- Domain and hosting. Usually yearly and separate from the design.
- Maintenance. Websites need updates and backups.
- Content. Are texts and photos included?
- Changes after launch. How many revisions are included?
- Ownership. Make sure the website and domain belong to you.
How to Get the Best Value
- Define your goal first: more calls, bookings, orders or sales.
- Start small. A focused website beats a big one with weak content.
- Ask for real examples and check how they load on mobile.
- Plan for support. A small monthly plan is cheaper than fixing problems later.
