How much does a small business website cost in 2026?

Quotes for "a website" range from €200 to over €10,000. Here is where the difference comes from, what you pay every year and how to compare quotes without surprises.

If you have asked for quotes for your business website, you have probably received numbers that look nothing alike: €300 from a freelancer, €3,000 from one agency, €15,000 from another. All three can be honest. What changes is what each one includes.

What drives the price

A website is priced by the work it takes, not by the number of pages. These are the things that change it most:

  • Custom design or a template. Adapting a proven template is quick; designing from scratch takes weeks.
  • Features. A contact form is simple. Online booking, a shop with payments, a client area or several languages multiply the work.
  • Content. If you provide the texts and photos, time is saved. If they need writing or a photo shoot, the price shows it.
  • Who builds it. A freelancer carries less overhead than an agency, and that shows in the rate (and sometimes in the timelines).

Typical prices in Spain

As a reference, this is what is usually charged today:

  • One-page site for a local business: €200 – 1,500
  • Company site with several sections: €1,500 – 5,000
  • Online shop: €3,000 – 15,000
  • Custom web application: from €5,000

The ranges are wide because the market is. What matters is not the number but what you get for it.

The yearly costs

A website doesn't end the day it goes live. Count on:

  • Domain (yourbusiness.com): €10–20 a year.
  • Hosting: €3 to €30 a month depending on the service.
  • Maintenance: updates, backups and small changes. From €20 a month for simple sites.

Always ask whether hosting and maintenance are included, and what happens if you ever want to move the site to another provider.

How to compare quotes

Before deciding, make every quote answer the same questions:

  1. How many rounds of changes are included?
  2. Who provides the texts and photos?
  3. Does it include the legal pages (legal notice, privacy, cookies)?
  4. Does it work well on phones? Is it ready to show up on Google?
  5. How much does it cost a year to maintain, and what is included?
  6. Is the domain registered in your name?

If a cheap quote can't answer these, it will probably end up being expensive.
