How much does a website cost?

How much does a website cost? And why are there such big price differences?

Many companies, freelancers, and founders sooner or later ask themselves the question: "How much does a website actually cost?" And those who then request initial quotes are quickly faced with a puzzle – because the price ranges from a few hundred euros to five-figure sums. Why is that? And what should you pay attention to?

In this article, we'll give you an honest overview.

1. Template or custom solution?

Probably the most important question at the beginning of every web project:

Do you want an inexpensive standard template or a customized website that's exactly right for your company?

• Template solutions (e.g., with modular systems like Wix, Webflow, or ready-made WordPress themes with page builders) are cheaper and quicker to implement. But they quickly reach their limits – in terms of design freedom, performance, and scalability.
• Custom solutions, like those we develop at Linxnpix, are based on modern technologies such as Next.js or headless CMS systems. They offer full control over design, user experience (UX), and technology – but also require more time and expertise.

Tip: If you value brand recognition, loading speed, and long-term scalability, a custom solution is often the better investment.

2. Scope: One-pager or complex website?

The second major price factor is the number of pages:

• A simple one-pager (e.g., for a local business with basic information) is significantly cheaper than
• a multilingual website with a blog, portfolio, news, connection to a CMS, or perhaps even a booking function.

The more pages, features, and integrations you need, the more extensive the design, development, and testing process becomes.

3. Content: Who delivers what?

Even the most beautiful layouts are useless without good content. This raises several questions:

• Who writes the texts?
• Are there already images and videos, or do they need to be organized?
• Is a translation required?
• Should the site be SEO-optimized?

You can either handle all of these tasks yourself or outsource them to us. The price will, of course, vary depending on the situation.

Tip: High-quality content isn't just pretty – it also improves your Google ranking and increases conversions.

4. Support & Maintenance After Launch

An often underestimated point: Things really get going after the launch.

• Who handles hosting?
• How are updates installed?
• What happens if technical problems arise?
• Do you want regular development, for example, to add new content or features?

At Linxnpix, we offer ongoing maintenance packages upon request to ensure your website always remains up-to-date, secure, and performant.

Conclusion: Like building a house – it's all a matter of ambition.

The question "How much does a website cost?" There's no general answer – just like the question "How much does a house cost?"

It depends:

• Standard or custom?
• Shell or turnkey?
• Do it yourself or full service?

We advise you transparently, eye to eye – and show you which solution fits your budget and your goals.
