How Much Does a Website Cost?
You get quotes anywhere from €150 to €5,000 for what looks like the same website, and no one explains why the gap is so big. The price comes down to a few concrete things - number of pages, whether the design is built from scratch or from a template, whether there is a store and payments, how many languages the site runs in. Here is honestly what goes into the price, no spin.
Where you lose time now
- Quotes range from €150 to €5,000 for the same type of site, and no one explains why the difference is so large.
- Hidden costs show up later - domain, hosting, maintenance, template license fees that were not in the original price.
- A cheap site that no one finds on Google - it looks like a website, but does not do the job you actually needed it for.
- An 'agency' that delivers the site and then disappears - next time something needs changing, there is no one to call.
Starting price: from €600. You get the exact price in an offer, 2 days after our call. You pay once, no monthly subscription for the system itself.
What you get
- Number and type of pages - a presentation site with a handful of pages is cheaper than one with a blog, a portfolio and multiple languages.
- Custom design or a template - a €200 template is faster and cheaper, but looks like hundreds of other sites. Custom design takes longer and costs more, but it is yours.
- A store and online payments add work - product catalog, cart, checkout, tax rates, none of which exist on a presentation site.
- Multiple languages double the work - every page gets translated and checked twice.
- Content and photos - if you provide finished text and images, the site gets built faster. If they need to be written and shot, that is extra work.
- Presentation site: from €600. Marketing site (more pages, blog, two languages, advanced SEO): from €1,000. Online store: from €1,500. Maintenance after launch: WordPress from €50/month, Next.js from €100/month.
- Example: Fortis Vrata (fortisvrata.rs) - a store for security and interior doors with a category catalog, detailed model pages, reviews, an FAQ section and contact via Viber and WhatsApp, built in WordPress with WooCommerce and optimized for search.

What owners most often ask before we start.
A presentation website starts from €600. That includes the design, a handful of pages (home, about, services, contact), basic SEO and setting up the domain and hosting. The price goes up with more pages and a design tailored to you rather than a template.
A presentation site is ready in two to three weeks. A marketing site with more pages and an online store take longer, depending on how much content there is.
You pay for the site once. The only recurring costs are the domain, hosting and, if you want it, maintenance - WordPress from €50, Next.js from €100 a month.
Yes. Every site comes with an admin area where you change text, images and prices yourself - WordPress and custom sites alike. I show you how, and for bigger changes I am there through maintenance.
WordPress is faster and cheaper for marketing sites and stores where you edit content yourself. A custom site (Next.js) makes sense when you need functionality WordPress does not handle well - configurators, apps, complex logic.
I look at what you have and tell you honestly whether it is worth fixing up or better to rebuild. Sometimes a fix is cheaper, sometimes a newer site saves time in the long run.
