How much does a website cost for a small business? (2026)

It is the first question almost every business asks: how much does a website cost? The short answer is that it depends on the type of site, but there are clear ranges and, above all, ways to start without paying upfront.

The usual price ranges

For a small business you will basically find three routes:

• Do it yourself with a builder (Wix, Squarespace): usually 12€ to 30€ per month, and you do all the work.
• A traditional agency: a one-off payment of 800€ to 3,000€ or more, plus separate maintenance.
• A freelance developer with a monthly fee: the site is built with no upfront cost and you pay a monthly fee that includes domain, hosting and maintenance.

What should the price include?

Do not look at the number alone. A good offer should include your own domain, hosting, the security certificate (SSL), a site optimised for mobile and for Google (SEO), and the ability to make changes whenever you need them.
