What a website costs in 2026 (real numbers)
An honest breakdown of pricing for a company site, an online store, a SaaS and custom software — what drives the budget and what should be included.
The first question from almost every client is "how much". The honest answer is "it depends" — but it depends on things you can judge in a few minutes. Here is the breakdown we work from.
Rough ranges
| Type | Ballpark | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page / simple company site | €1,000 – 3,000 | 3–7 days |
| Multi-page site with SEO | €2,500 – 6,000 | 1–2 weeks |
| Online store | €3,000 – 8,000 | 1–2 weeks |
| SaaS / custom software (MVP) | from €8,000 | 4–8 weeks |
| ERP / internal system | €10,000 – 30,000 | 5–10 weeks |
These aren't quotes — they're what to expect. The real number comes after a short call.
What pushes the price up
- Number of unique templates. Five page types cost more than one repeated five times. A store with 20 categories and filters is more work than a catalog of 20 products.
- Integrations. Payments, shipping couriers, accounting software, CRM, ERP — every connection is a separate task with its own testing.
- Content. If you have the copy and photos, it's faster. If we write them, it takes longer.
- Data and logic. "Show products" is simple. "Calculate price based on configuration, stock and this customer's discount" is not.
- Design from scratch vs adaptation. Your own visual system costs more than a clean adaptation of a good base — sometimes worth it, sometimes not.
What should be included (and often isn't)
When you compare offers, check whether these are in:
- Hosting and launch on your domain, not a subdomain of the vendor
- SEO basics: clean structure, meta tags,
sitemap.xml, structured data, fast loading - A mobile version tested on real devices — not just "responsive in theory"
- Analytics from day zero, so you know whether it works
- An inquiry form that actually reaches your inbox (sounds obvious — it isn't)
- Access to the code / the ability to change vendors without starting over
If any of this is missing from the offer, ask why.
Subscription or one-off
A simple site is paid once and lives for years with minimal upkeep. A store, a SaaS, or a site that actively grows with content and features is more of a recurring line item — not because you're locked in, but because there is real work every month. Say upfront which of the two models fits you.
How to save money
- Ship small and good, then build on it. An MVP in 3 weeks gives you real feedback; a big spec over 4 months often builds the wrong things.
- Prepare your content early.
- Don't pay for features "just in case". Add them when you actually need them.
