What drives the price
- Design: a template you adjust is cheaper than a design made for your brand.
- Number of page types: ten pages using one layout cost less than five completely different ones.
- Content: do you supply texts and photos, or do we write and source them?
- Features: booking, payments, member areas, multi-language or links with your CRM all add time.
- SEO: a technical foundation is standard. Keyword research and content strategy is extra work, and worth it.
- Speed and security: well-built sites cost a bit more and save a lot later.
Running costs per year
Launch is not the end. Budget for these every year:
- Domain name: roughly €10 – €20 per year.
- Managed hosting: from €30 per month for a business site, including server management, updates and backups.
- Maintenance and security: about €50 – €250 per month, depending on size and how fast you need help.
- Paid plugins or licences: often €50 – €300 per year in total.
How to get a fair quote
- Write down your goal in one sentence: more calls, more sales, fewer emails?
- List the must-have features, and the nice-to-haves separately.
- Ask for a fixed price for a clear scope, not an hourly estimate.
- Check what's included after launch: training, support, maintenance.
- Ask who owns the site and the code once it's paid. It should be you.
Frequently asked questions

Usually, yes. WordPress is a great fit for most business sites. Custom code makes sense when you need complex features or very high performance.
How long does it take to build a website?
A small business website takes about 3 to 6 weeks. Larger projects take 2 to 4 months, mostly depending on content and feedback.
Why do website quotes differ so much?
Because the scope differs. Compare what's included: design, content, SEO, training and support after launch.
