"How much does a website cost" is a lot like "how much does a car cost": anywhere from a used bicycle to a supercar. Let's unpack what makes up the price and where you can save without harm.
What makes up the price
- Design. A template, an adapted template, or a custom layout for your task.
- Scope. A 5-block landing page and a 40-page portal are different universes.
- Functionality. Forms, payments, user accounts, CRM integrations.
- Content. Copy, photos and translations: the most underestimated line item.
- Support. Domain, hosting, updates and small fixes after launch.
Ballparks by format
- Template landing page: €300–600.
- Custom landing page with animations: €600–1500.
- Multi-page website with a CMS: €1500–5000.
- E-commerce or a portal: from €4000.
A cheap website isn't money saved, it's spending postponed: a rebuild almost always costs more than doing it properly the first time.
How to save the right way
Start with minimal scope but the right architecture, so the site can grow with the business. A good studio will itself suggest what to move to "phase two" and honestly tell you what you don't need yet.
