How much does

a website cost?

The price depends on what the website needs to do

A simple website and an online store with many integrations are two completely different projects. Here you can see what affects the price of a new website, which choices add the most value, and what you should ask before requesting a quote.

What affects the price of a website

  • Scope: How many page types, languages and features the website needs largely determines the time required.

  • Design: A ready-made template is quick to use, while a custom design tailored to your brand and users takes longer. Read more about UX design.

  • Publishing platform: The choice of CMS affects both the build and ongoing operations. A headless CMS such as Storyblok gives great freedom, but requires a team that can build the frontend.

  • Integrations: Booking, payment, CRM, newsletter and inventory systems must be connected and tested.

  • Content: Copy, photos and video must be created or migrated. This is often underestimated in the budget.

  • SEO and migration: If you are moving from an old website, redirects and content must be planned, or you risk losing the visibility you have built up.

One-off cost and running costs

The price of building the website is only part of the equation. Also budget for hosting, licences for the CMS and other tools, security updates, support and further development. Always ask about the total cost over several years, not just the price at launch.

A cheap website or a website that sells?

A website is a sales tool. It should be found in Google, load quickly on mobile and make it easy to get in touch or buy. Save on the number of features rather than on structure, measurement and conversion rate optimisation. That is where the value lies.

Questions and answers about website pricing

  • How much does a simple website cost?

    A simple website with few pages, a ready-made template and a standard publishing platform is the most affordable option. The price goes up when you need a custom design, several languages, integrations or a lot of new content. Describe what the website should do for your business, and it becomes easier to get a quote that fits your needs.

  • How long does it take to build a website?

    It depends on the scope, how much content already exists, and how quickly decisions are made. A simple website is quick, while a larger solution with custom design and integrations requires several phases of planning, design, development and testing. Ask for a timeline along with the quote.

  • What is the difference between a template-based and a custom website?

    A template-based website builds on a ready-made design that is adapted with colours, images and copy. It is quick and affordable. A custom website is designed from scratch for your brand and your users, and gives more freedom to stand out and optimise for sales.

  • Which CMS should I choose?

    Choose a CMS based on who will update the website, how many channels and languages you have, and which systems it needs to connect to. A headless CMS suits brands that want speed, flexibility and content across several channels. Read more about headless CMS.

  • What happens to my Google rankings when I change website?

    Rankings can drop if URLs change without redirects, or if content disappears. With a good migration plan, including 301 redirects, keeping important content and a technical check before launch, you can keep your visibility and often improve it. Read more about technical SEO.
