It’s the first question almost everyone asks: how much does a website cost? The honest answer is that it depends on what you need. A simple site with a few pages is very different from a website with a web shop or an integration with your software. In this article you’ll read which elements determine the price, so you can compare quotes better.
1. Design: template or custom
A website based on an existing design is ready sooner than a design made entirely for your business. Custom work takes more time, but ensures your site matches your brand and stands out from competitors.
2. Number of pages and content
How many services do you want to show? Do you have a portfolio, a blog or vacancies? Every page needs to be set up. Will you supply texts and photos yourself, or do those need to be created too? Good copy matters for Google and for your visitors.
3. Features and integrations
A contact form is standard. But do you want a web shop, online payments, an integration with Realworks, Plug & Pay or Picqer, or a client portal? Integrations with other systems are often the part that takes the most work.
4. Visibility in Google
A website nobody finds delivers little. A solid technical foundation, fast loading times and copy that matches what your customers search for are an investment that pays for itself.
5. Maintenance after launch
A website is never really finished. Updates, backups and security are needed to keep your site safe and fast. Include those costs in your comparison. At Diepcreative, WordPress maintenance costs €200 per quarter (excl. VAT).
Compare quotes on content, not just price
A low price can mean parts are missing that you’ll have to pay for later anyway. For every quote, check what exactly is included: design, number of pages, copy, integrations, SEO and maintenance.
