How much does a website cost?
Nobody publishes their prices, so quotes feel arbitrary. Describe the site you need and this gives you the range agencies and freelancers actually quote for it — plus what the same site costs if you build it yourself.

How this is calculated
Ranges reflect what small and mid-sized studios quote in Western Europe in 2026 for the scope you selected. They are an estimate to sanity-check a quote with, not an offer.
FAQ
- How much does a website cost for a small business?
- In 2026 a five-page brochure site typically runs €1,500–3,500 from an agency and €600–1,500 from a freelancer. An online shop starts around €3,500 and climbs quickly with the size of the catalogue. On top of the build you should budget €200–800 a year for hosting, domain and maintenance.
- Why is the range so wide?
- Because most of the price is people's time, not software. The same brief costs very differently depending on who writes the copy, who supplies the photos, and how many revision rounds are included. The calculator asks about exactly those things, which is why the range narrows as you fill it in.
- What is not included in a quote?
- Usually: copywriting, photography, the logo, translations, and ongoing maintenance. Each of those is commonly quoted separately, which is how a €1,500 site becomes a €4,000 invoice. Tick them in the calculator to see the real total.
