"How much does a website cost?" is one of the most common questions we get as a software house. The answer: it depends — but don't worry, in this article we'll break it down into real numbers.
Why Do Website Prices Vary So Much?
The cost of a website depends on several key factors:
- Project complexity — a simple brochure site vs. a full-featured web portal
- Technology — WordPress, Next.js, or a fully custom application
- Integrations — payments, CRM, third-party APIs
- Design — template vs. custom design from scratch
- Features — contact form vs. full admin panel

Hidden Costs Nobody Talks About
Many agencies quote low prices but then add extra line items. Watch out for:
- Hosting — €10 to €150/month (we offer managed hosting from €15)
- Domain — approx. €10–25/year
- Plugin licences — especially with WordPress, €50–500/year
- SSL certificate — included in our managed hosting
- Updates and maintenance — from €80/month
- Changes and modifications — billed separately or included in a retainer
What Determines Quality and Price?
Cheap €150 websites — what do they actually mean?
"Website for €150" offers usually mean:
- A generic template with no customisation
- No SEO optimisation
- Poor mobile experience
- No technical support
- A site that's hard to grow
When is it worth spending more?
Investing in a professional website pays off when:
- The site is your main client acquisition channel
- You care about Google rankings
- You plan to grow the site over time
- You need integrations with external systems
