The cost of a website can vary a lot. A simple website can be built for a few hundred euros, while a business website, an online shop or a platform with specific features can easily run to several thousand.
As a rough guide, a professional website for a simple project or a business presence in Spain usually costs somewhere between €500 and €3,500. An online shop or a website with custom development and integrations can go well beyond that.
The difference is not just about the number of pages. Design, languages, required features, SEO, content and the level of customisation all have a big impact on the final budget.
How much does a website cost in 2026?
The ranges below are a general guide for the Spanish market, where we work. Agency rates in the UK, Germany or other countries may be higher depending on the region and provider. They are not fixed prices: two projects that look similar can require very different amounts of work.
| Type of website | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Landing page or simple website | €500 – €1,200 |
| Professional business website | €1,200 – €3,500 |
| Custom website with specific features | €2,500 – €7,000 or more |
| Online shop | €2,000 – €8,000 or more |
These prices can rise when a project includes several languages, many pages, external integrations, bookings, members’ areas, automations, payment systems or special design and development requirements.
Website types and price ranges
Landing page or simple website
A landing page brings the key information together on a single page or in a very lean structure.
It can be enough to present a service, a specific campaign or a small business that needs a simple online presence.
The price mainly depends on the design, the amount of content, the forms and whether the material – copy, images or brand identity – is already prepared.
As a guide, a professional landing page usually costs roughly between €500 and €1,200.
Business website
A business website usually has several pages: home, about, services, contact and other content specific to the business.
Here, structure, user experience, mobile layout, forms, basic SEO and how easily the content can be managed later become much more important.
For a professional business website, a typical range is around €1,200 to €3,500.
Website with specific features
When a website needs features that go beyond a standard business website, the budget goes up.
Examples include:
- booking systems;
- private client areas;
- advanced forms;
- CRM integrations;
- automations;
- directories or search functions;
- connections to external tools.
Depending on complexity, these projects can start at around €2,500 and exceed €7,000 when custom development is required.
Online shop
An online shop usually takes more work than a business website.
It is not just about displaying products. It can also involve:
- product catalogue and variants;
- cart and checkout;
- payment methods;
- taxes;
- shipping;
- coupons;
- order management;
- automated emails;
- integrations with other systems.
A relatively simple online shop can start at around €2,000. Projects with large catalogues, automations or specific integrations can reach €5,000, €8,000 or more.
What factors affect the cost of a website?
Two companies can ask for a “five-page website” and receive completely different quotes. That is because the number of pages is only part of the work.
Number of pages and amount of content
The more pages that need to be designed, structured and filled with content, the more time the project takes.
A website with four simple pages is not the same as a project with thirty service pages, case studies, a blog, FAQs and multiple forms.
Custom design or template
Working with a pre-built structure can reduce time and cost.
A custom design requires a closer look at structure, visual hierarchy, navigation, brand identity and user experience.
That does not mean a template is necessarily bad. The difference lies in how much the result has to adapt to the business, rather than the business adapting to a template.
WordPress or another platform
The technology you choose also affects the budget.
Thanks to its ecosystem of plugins and tools, WordPress can be used for anything from simple business websites to fairly complex projects.
In other cases, a closed platform, a website builder or even a custom-built application may be more suitable.
The choice should depend on what the project needs, not just on the initial price.
A multilingual website
A website in English, German and Spanish takes more work than a site in a single language.
It is not just a matter of adding translations. Navigation, links, SEO metadata, forms and the structure of each language version all need to be maintained properly.
That is why multilingual functionality can significantly increase the cost of a project.
Features and integrations
Bookings, online payments, calendars, CRM, automations, maps, property systems or private areas all need to be set up, tested and maintained.
The more a website depends on other systems, the greater the technical complexity usually is.
Copy, images and SEO
It also matters who provides the content.
If copy, photos and structure are already prepared, there is less work to do. If the site architecture has to be defined, copy written, images prepared and every page optimised for search engines, the project needs more hours.
A cheap website that goes live without a clear structure, good copy and an SEO foundation may end up needing more work later to deliver results.
Build it yourself or hire a professional?
Today it is possible to create a website without hiring anyone.
Visual builders and all-in-one platforms let you publish a website with a relatively low initial investment.
For a personal project or an idea that is still being tested, that may be perfectly adequate.
However, cost is not the only factor.
You also need to consider:
- the time it takes to learn the tool;
- design and user experience;
- mobile layout;
- speed;
- SEO;
- security;
- ongoing maintenance;
- what happens when a technical problem occurs.
For a business, a website is rarely just a digital business card. It is often where customers discover the business, compare services and decide whether to get in touch.
When a website plays that commercial role, working with a professional can save time and provide a stronger technical and visual foundation.

What does a website cost after launch?
The initial budget is not the only cost to plan for.
A website also comes with recurring costs.
Domain and hosting
A domain is usually renewed every year. Its price depends on the extension and the provider, but it is generally a small part of the total cost.
Hosting is also usually paid monthly or annually.
The price depends on factors such as capacity, performance, support, backups and available resources.
We are not recommending a specific provider here because our hosting guide will be updated soon.
Licences
Some websites use premium plugins, tools or services that renew annually.
A simple website may need very few licences, while projects with advanced features can depend on several paid tools.
Maintenance
WordPress, plugins and other components evolve constantly. That is why technical maintenance after launch should also be part of the plan.
To understand what this really involves, take a look at our guide to WordPress maintenance.
Overall, recurring costs can range from a few tens of euros a year for a very simple, self-managed website to several hundred euros or more when licences, external services and professional maintenance are involved.
Why do website quotes vary so much?
You can find website offers for less than €300 and quotes of several thousand euros for what looks like a similar project.
Comparing on price alone can be misleading.
Before accepting a quote, it is worth asking:
- How many pages are included?
- Will the design be custom?
- Is the mobile version included?
- Who prepares the copy and images?
- Is basic SEO setup included?
- Who provides the domain and hosting?
- Are there licences that will need renewing?
- What happens after the website goes live?
- Is any training included to manage it?
- What support is available if a problem arises?
A cheaper quote is not necessarily worse, and a more expensive one does not automatically guarantee a better website.
What matters is comparing exactly what each proposal includes and whether it meets the real goals of the project.
Conclusion
There is no single price for a website.
As a guide, a landing page or simple website can cost around €500 to €1,200, while a professional business website usually falls between €1,200 and €3,500. An online shop or a project with specific features can easily exceed several thousand euros.
The final price depends on design, amount of content, languages, features, integrations and the level of technical work required.
That is why, before comparing quotes, it is worth defining what the website really needs and what goal it should achieve.

Frequently asked questions about website costs
It depends on the services it uses. A simple website may only have domain and hosting costs, while other sites need licences, external tools and maintenance. Monthly costs can therefore range from a few euros to more than €100 a month for projects with more services.
As a guide, a simple website or professional landing page usually costs roughly between €500 and €1,200. The price depends on the design, the amount of content and the features required.
You can build a website with some free tools, but there are usually costs such as the domain, hosting or certain additional features. You also need to factor in the time it takes to create, maintain and update the site.
There is no option that is better for every project. Wix can be easy for building a basic website, while WordPress offers more flexibility, customisation options and long-term control. The right choice depends on the type of website, the budget and future needs.
A simple online shop can start at around €2,000, while projects with large catalogues, multiple payment methods, automations or specific integrations can reach €5,000, €8,000 or more.
