How much does it cost to make a website?

The short answer: price follows effort

A website has no standard price because it is not a standard product. The more pages, content and features, the more individual the design and the more languages, the more work sits behind it. A single landing page is therefore a different project from a multilingual company website with a blog – even though both are called “a website”.

These factors determine the price

• Scope: the number of pages and sections. But not only that: even a single page needs structure, clear copy and clean technical work.
• Content: if you bring finished copy and photos, it saves time. If the copy has to be developed together, that is part of the work.
• Design: an adapted template is cheaper than a layout designed specifically for your offer.
• Features: contact form, booking, blog, shop or connections to other systems add effort.
• Languages: every additional language means more copy, review and its own SEO structure – Arabic adds right-to-left design on top.
• Technology and search engines: loading speed, mobile display and a clean foundation for Google are work you do not see – but notice when it is missing.

Builder, freelancer, studio or custom: how do the routes differ?

A builder has low start-up costs, but ongoing fees and your own working time. A freelancer usually works personally and directly with you, but is limited to one person. A studio or agency bundles several roles and usually has a more structured process – and correspondingly higher prices. A custom-built website costs more at the start than a template, but needs no plugin maintenance and can be tailored exactly to your offer.

Which route fits when is covered in detail in the article Website builder, WordPress or custom website: what fits?.

What a quote should include

Ask what exactly is part of every quote – only then can prices be compared at all:

• Clarifying goal and target audience, plus a page structure
• Design and mobile implementation
• Technical implementation including loading speed
• SEO basics such as titles, descriptions and heading structure
• A clear path to getting in touch
• Who writes the copy, what applies after launch and who owns the website in the end

Real prices: how to place the packages

On the Pricing page you can see what each package includes. For orientation: Clear Start (landing page) starts from €999, the Business Website with several pages from €2,900, and the Premium Website with extended structure and possible multilingual setup from €4,900. Projects with special requirements, such as a shop or platform, are quoted individually – on request.

These are starting prices (“from”), not fixed prices for every project: where your project lands depends on the factors above.
