How much does a website cost: real prices and what it depends on
"How much does a website cost me?" is the first question in almost all conversations, and the one that almost nobody answers on their website. You ask for three budgets and receive 300 €, 2,000 €, and 6,000 € for what you thought was the same thing. It's not that two out of three are deceiving you. It's that you're comparing different things with the same name. This is what's behind each figure. Why it varies so much…
A website's cost can vary greatly, from 300 € to 6,000 €, due to differences in services offered. The main factors affecting the price are the number of pages, content creation, search engine optimization (SEO), and migration of an existing website. A basic website with a template can cost between 0-100 €, while a professional small website with a few pages can cost 200-600 €.
A website with SEO can cost between 1,000-2,500 €, and an online store or custom software can cost 3,000 € or more. Additional costs not always included in the initial quote are domain registration, hosting, maintenance, and paid plugins.
