"How much does a website cost?" is the most common question we hear. The honest answer: it depends. But unlike most agencies, we'll actually explain what drives the price.
Website Cost Ranges in 2025
DIY / Template (€0–€500) - Wix, Squarespace, or free WordPress theme - You do everything yourself - Limited customization and performance - Fine for hobby projects or placeholder sites
Professional Template Build (€1,000–€3,000) - Professional setup of a quality theme - Custom content and basic SEO - Mobile responsive - Good for startups and new businesses
Custom Website (€3,000–€10,000) - Unique design tailored to your brand - Custom functionality (booking, forms, integrations) - SEO foundation built in - Performance optimized - This is where most serious small businesses land
Complex Web Application (€10,000–€50,000+) - Custom platforms and SaaS products - Advanced integrations and automation - User portals, dashboards, databases - Ongoing development and maintenance
What Actually Drives the Cost
1. Design Complexity A simple 5-page brochure site costs far less than a 30-page site with custom animations, interactive elements, and unique layouts for every section.
2. Functionality Static pages are cheap. Add booking systems, payment processing, user accounts, API integrations, or automation—and complexity (and cost) increases.
3. Content Do you have content ready, or does it need to be written? Professional copywriting and photography add cost but dramatically improve results.
4. SEO Requirements Basic on-page SEO is standard. Comprehensive keyword research, content strategy, and technical SEO optimization is additional work that pays for itself.
5. Ongoing Maintenance Websites need updates, security patches, and content refreshes. Factor in €50–€300/month for maintenance.
The Real Question: What's the ROI?
A €5,000 website that generates €2,000/month in new business pays for itself in 10 weeks. A €200 DIY site that generates nothing is infinitely more expensive.
Don't ask "how much does it cost?" Ask "how much will it make?"
How to Budget Smart
1. **Start with your goals** — What must the website achieve? 2. **Prioritize features** — Launch with essentials, add later 3. **Invest in content** — Great design with poor content fails 4. **Plan for maintenance** — Budget monthly, not just upfront 5. **Measure everything** — Track ROI from day one
Red Flags in Website Quotes
- No discovery phase (they're guessing)
- Extremely low prices (you get what you pay for)
- No mention of SEO or performance
- Vague timelines with no milestones
- No ongoing support options
