How Much Does a Website Cost in 2026? Real Prices

July 16, 2026 · 7 min read

In 2026 a professional website costs from €800 for a brochure site, from €1,200 for an e-commerce store and from €2,000 for a custom portal. The price depends on the number of pages, the features you need and how much design and content work is involved. An off-the-shelf template is cheaper but performs worse; a custom-built project costs more upfront and pays off over time through better performance and rankings.

Prices by type of website

Type of site	Typical price	Timeline	Best for
Single landing page	from €500	3-7 days	Campaigns, product launches
Brochure site (5-8 pages)	from €800	1-2 weeks	Companies, professionals, firms
E-commerce	from €1,200	3-6 weeks	Selling online
Portal / web software	from €2,000	2-4 months	Dashboards, member areas, B2B

What really drives the price

Page count is only the starting point. What moves a quote up or down is mainly:

Custom design vs template: an original design takes more hours but gives you a unique identity.
Content: if you supply text, photos and translations the cost drops; if we produce them it rises.
Features: advanced forms, bookings, payments, multilingual support and integrations with external systems.
SEO and performance: a site tuned for Google and AI engines needs extra technical work.

Be wary of prices that look too low: they often hide recycled templates, mandatory monthly fees or a complete lack of optimization. We work with clean code and hand you a site that is truly yours, with no lock-in. See how our web development service works.

Recurring costs to plan for

Beyond the build, a website has small fixed costs: the domain (around €10-15/year), cloud hosting (from €29/month) and, if you want to grow in search, ongoing SEO work (from €500/month). If you plan to sell online, first decide whether you actually need a store: we cover that in our guide on brochure site vs e-commerce.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a simple website cost?

A professional brochure site starts at €800 and includes 5-8 pages, responsive design, basic SEO and a contact form. A single landing page starts at €500.

Why do website prices vary so much?

Because design (template vs custom), content (supplied or produced by us), features and the level of optimization all differ. Two sites with the same page count can cost twice as much as each other depending on these factors.

Are there monthly costs after delivery?

The site is yours, with no mandatory fees. Only the domain (around €10-15/year) and hosting (from €29/month) remain. SEO and ongoing maintenance are optional.

How long does it take to get the site online?

A brochure site takes 1-2 weeks, an e-commerce 3-6 weeks. We agree on a precise date in the quote, which is free and no-obligation within 24 hours.
