How much does a website cost?
If you're looking for a new website or want to update an existing one, you've probably already done some research on the costs involved. It's important to understand that the price of building a website can vary depending on various factors, such as the purpose of the website, the size and complexity of the website, and the desired features and integrations.
We give here some guidelines for what to expect regarding the cost of building a website. We hope this information will help you make an informed decision about the investment budget for your website project.

Graphic design
Custom design/design?
The prices listed apply to websites built based on an existing template that is then customized to your company's style. This is often the fastest and most cost-effective way to create a professional website.
Would you prefer a completely unique design tailored to your vision and wishes? Then we'll bring in our designer to create a custom layout. This naturally involves additional work.
The guide price for a custom design starts at €1900, on top of the cost of the website itself. This price varies depending on the size and complexity of the project.
Licenses and additional plugins
Our websites run on WordPress or Magento, both powerful open-source platforms. This means: no license fees for the operating system itself.
In addition, many plugins offer a wealth of additional functionality, with both free and "pro" versions. The free version often offers the basic functionality, while the pro version adds extra features. The best version depends on your specific needs and goals.
We look at this together: if a pro license is necessary or useful, we always discuss this in advance. Any license costs are charged 1-on-1, without margin or extra costs.
Yearly costs
Hosting
Our prices for hosting a standard WordPress website start at 290 Euro per year. (incl. security and maintenance and basic plugins, see below)
The price for hosting an E-commerce, membership administration website starts at 490 Euro per year.
Keep in mind that the complexity and the number of visitors will affect this price.

Connecting to your internal systems?
Integrations
A website rarely stands alone. Often it needs to work with other systems you use internally, such as a CRM , ERP , accounting software or newsletter platforms .
The capabilities and complexity of such a connection depend entirely on the software we need to integrate with and whether existing plugins, APIs, or connectors are available. Sometimes, this is literally a matter of 15 minutes' work, but in other cases, we're talking about customization that can take several man-days.
The 'real' price of a successful website
It is important to emphasize that the price of a successful website does not lie only in its development!
Once the website is online , only the first step has been taken and your online journey really begins.
Invest in one good strategy at the start and additional investment after launch for strong content (SEO) and digital marketing make a big difference to any website. You can do these things in-house or outsource them.
So make sure you have sufficient budget to continue growing after the launch.
Price for the takeover of an existing website
If you already have an existing website, but want to have it taken over by Studio Mikado, we also offer this service.

Our target price for taking over an existing website starts at €780, depending on the size and complexity of the website.
As always, it is important to contact us for a precise quote as the actual price will depend on the state of your current website and your specific needs.
