How much does a website cost?
If you're looking to build a new website or update an existing one, you've probably already done some research into the costs involved. It is 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 mentioned apply to websites that are built based on an existing template that is then adapted to the corporate identity of your company. This is often the fastest and most cost-efficient way to realize a professional website.
Would you prefer a completely unique design that is fully aligned with your vision and wishes? Then we will engage our designer to create a custom layout. This of course involves extra 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, there are plugins for many extra functionalities with both free and “pro” versions. The free version often offers the basic functionality, while the pro version adds extra possibilities. Which version is best for you 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 possibilities 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 it is literally a matter of 15 minutes of work, but in other cases we are 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

Our guideline 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.
