How much does
a website cost in 2026?
Brochure, e-commerce or bespoke: the real price ranges seen in 2026, the cost items to plan for, and how to compare two quotes that do not cover the same scope.
Price ranges in 2026
Six benchmarks to position your project before you even ask for a quote.
Brochure website
From €990 to €2,500 for five to ten pages with bespoke design, a form, a map and base SEO. Above that you move into written copy and advanced animation.
E-commerce
From €2,500 to €8,000 depending on the catalogue, delivery options, payment methods and connections to a management system.
Landing page
From €590 to €1,500 for a single conversion page, usually paired with an advertising campaign.
Copywriting
Budget €80 to €150 per written and optimised page. This is the item most often underestimated in quotes.
Annual costs
Hosting, domain name, plugin licences and maintenance: between €300 and €900 a year for a brochure site.
SEO and acquisition
Local SEO support starts around €390 a month and is worth it as soon as the site must generate enquiries.
How to estimate your budget
Six steps to turn an idea into a realistic budget.
Enquiries, online sales or bookings: the goal drives 80% of the budget.
Map the site page by page. Price follows the number of templates, not the number of URLs.
Forms, payment, booking, client area, multilingual: every block has an identifiable cost.
Text, photos and logo: either you supply them or you budget for them explicitly.
Align quotes on the same site map and features before looking at the prices.
Add up the build package, hosting, maintenance and any SEO support.
Frequently asked questions about website prices
The questions that come up most often at quotation stage.
Why can two quotes differ by three times?
Because the scope differs: number of templates, copywriting included or not, bespoke design versus a purchased theme, SEO work, warranty and maintenance. On a strictly identical scope, the gaps narrow sharply.
Is a €500 website a bargain?
Rarely. At that price it is usually an installed theme with no copywriting, optimisation or maintenance. The cost reappears later as fixes, slowness and no visibility.
Do I have to pay a monthly subscription?
A website needs hosting and updates at the very least. A maintenance plan bundles those costs and prevents outages and security holes.
Does the price include SEO?
Base technical SEO is included in our packages. Ongoing SEO — content, link building, monitoring — is a separate monthly service.
Can payment be spread out?
Yes, in three instalments: on order, on design approval and at launch. Four instalments are possible for e-commerce projects.
How much does a redesign cost?
A redesign usually costs 20 to 30% less than a new build when content can be reused, provided you add a redirect plan to protect SEO.
