How much does a business website cost?

The price of a website depends mostly on the number of pages, whether the design is made from scratch, who writes the content and which features it needs. Here is what drives the cost, and which costs come after launch.

01

Five things that decide the price

The number of pages, whether the design adapts a template or is made from scratch, who writes the text and supplies photos, which features are needed (booking, a shop, several languages, login) and whether the site connects to other systems. A simple five-page site with a contact form is a different project from a multilingual site with a shop.

02

What comes on top after launch

Domain and hosting cost something every year; with us the first year is included in the basic package. Updates, backups and monitoring are ongoing work covered by an operations agreement. Paid services such as a booking system, shop platform or email come on top and are billed by their provider.

03

How to compare quotes

Ask for a quote that shows how many pages are included, who creates the content, how many rounds of changes are included and what happens after launch. Ask who owns the domain, the code and the content, and whether you can move the site to another provider. Two quotes with the same price can cover very different deliveries.

04

Cheap, expensive or something in between

A site you build yourself in a website builder can be enough for a new company that only needs to be visible. When the site has to bring in customers, the text, structure and technical quality decide whether it is found in Google and whether visitors get in touch. That is where an agency earns its fee.

A good place to start.

  • How many pages do you need?
  • Who writes the text and supplies photos?
  • Which features are needed from day one?
  • Who owns the domain and content afterwards?

Questions & answers

What does the basic package include?

Up to five pages, a mobile-friendly design, basic search optimisation and the domain and hosting for the first year.

How long does it take to build a website?

It depends most on how quickly text and photos are ready. We agree a schedule before we start, with dates for drafts, changes and launch.
