How much does a website cost? Prices and total cost 2026

In short: At ELECOS, a professional website costs from €2,000 for a one-page site, from €5,000 for a website with several pages, from €7,000 with payment features (for example bookings or courses) and from €9,000 for an online shop. On top of that come running costs for support from €20 per month. A redesign costs about as much as a new website, because the content is revised along the way. Calculated over three years, a typical company website with several pages therefore starts at €6,800.

What does the cost of a website depend on?

The price of a website is not determined by the number of pages alone, but by the work behind it. The main cost drivers:

  1. Content: Do copy, images and offers need to be developed from scratch or just carried over? Good content is the biggest lever for enquiries and often the biggest effort.
  2. Scope and structure: A one-page site needs a clear message; a website with many services needs well-thought-out navigation and a page for each service.
  3. Features: Forms are standard. Bookings, online payments, member areas or configurators increase the effort.
  4. Integrations: Connections to your software, such as a CRM, onOffice for real estate or an inventory management system.
  5. Multiple languages: Each language means translated content, its own addresses and clean language switching.
  6. Design and brand: An existing corporate design is quicker to implement than a brand that still has to be developed.

Running costs: what comes after the launch?

A website is not finished once it goes live. It needs hosting, security, small changes and occasional improvements. For this we offer our Satisfaction Package:

Website size Monthly
Small sites €20
Medium-sized sites €50
Complex sites €80
Online shops from €100

Because our websites do without a collection of plugins, there are no plugin licences and hardly any technical maintenance. That keeps running costs low.

How much does a website cost over three years?

For a fair comparison, you should look not just at the starting price but at the total cost. Example calculation with our starting prices and 36 months of the Satisfaction Package:

Website type One-off Support, 36 months Total over 3 years
One-page website from €2,000 €720 from €2,720
Website with several pages from €5,000 €1,800 from €6,800
Website with payments from €7,000 €2,880 from €9,880
Online shop from €9,000 from €3,600 from €12,600

Why does a redesign cost as much as a new website?

Many people expect a redesign to be cheaper because a website already exists. In practice, we do not simply copy content one to one, but revise structure, copy and offers. On top of that come tasks that do not exist with a new website: reviewing existing content, setting up redirects for all old addresses and safeguarding rankings. That is why a redesign is usually priced at the level of a new website. Find out more on our website redesign page.
