What does a website cost in 2026, and what should you look out for?
From a simple site to a web shop: what you realistically pay, and which costs are often forgotten.
A website can cost €0 or €50,000. The difference lies in what it needs to do, and who builds it. These are realistic amounts for small businesses in the Netherlands.
What you roughly pay
- Personal site or one-pager: €300 to €800.
- Business site with a few pages: €800 to €2,500.
- Web shop: €2,000 to €6,000, depending on the number of products and integrations.
- Custom work, such as a customer portal or scheduling system: from €5,000, by quote.
Costs that are often forgotten
- Domain name: around €10 to €15 per year.
- Hosting: from free to €30 per month.
- Maintenance and updates: important for security, often €20 to €50 per month.
- Copy and photos: will you supply them, or does someone need to create them?
What to look for in a quote
Ask whether the code and domain are yours, so you can switch later. Ask what happens with updates and backups. And ask whether security is included, because a cheap site that gets hacked ends up being the most expensive one.
