A small business rarely needs a big website. It needs a clear website that opens quickly, is easy to use on a phone and brings enquiries. If you choose the right format and don't pay for extras, such a site doesn't cost much.
How much a cheap website costs
- Landing page — from €300, launch from 3 days. One page with the most important things about you and an enquiry button.
- Business website — from €500, launch from 7 days. The company, services, about you and contacts.
- Website for professionals and services — from €500, launch from 7 days. Services with prices, reviews and booking.
We name the final price before we start and fix it in the contract. It doesn't change along the way.
Where you can save
- Number of pages. For a start, one page is often enough. New pages are added later, when the need arises.
- Admin panel. If you only need edits occasionally, we make them and you don't have to pay for an admin panel. On Next.js sites it's a separate option from €200; WordPress always has one.
- Complex animation and 3D. It's beautiful, but usually not essential for a first site.
- "Just in case" features. Online booking, payment and a client account can be added when you really need them.
- Languages. Start with the language most of your customers speak. Each additional language is from €50 and can be added later.
- Text and photos. If you have your own, the work goes faster.
Where you can't save
- The mobile version. Most people will open your site on a phone.
- Speed. A slow site loses visitors before they've seen the offer. That's why Cloudflare runs on every site we build: pages open quickly from any country.
- A clear first screen. Within a few seconds a person should understand what you offer and how to get in touch.
- Contact buttons. WhatsApp, Telegram and a short form should be in plain view.
- Your access. The domain, hosting and code should belong to you, not to the contractor.
A €100 template: what's the catch
Website builders and ready-made templates look like the cheapest route. But the same template sits on hundreds of other companies' sites, and a site on a builder lives on someone else's platform: you pay for it every month, and the site usually can't be moved away, only rebuilt. We compared the options in detail in the article agency, freelancer or website builder.
An example: a cheap website that works
Imagine a small coffee roastery in Vienna that wants to sell beans to cafés and offices. It doesn't need a big shop yet. A landing page is enough: varieties, "from" prices, delivery terms, an enquiry form and a WhatsApp button. When orders grow, a catalogue can be added to it.
What costs there are after launch
- Domain. Paid to the registrar once a year.
- Hosting. You can set it up yourself or leave it to us: website maintenance and hosting from €100 a year.
- Email on your domain — optional: setup from €100.
There's no monthly fee for the website itself: you pay for it once.
