What Does a WordPress Website Cost in 2026?
One of the most common questions I get is: "What does it cost to have a website made?" The answer isn't quite simple, but I'll try to give you an overview. You can also see the dedicated page on website price.
Factors That Affect the Price
Several factors play into the final price:
Good to Know
The price of a website depends primarily on complexity, design, and functionality.
1. Design and Layout
The more complex and unique the design, the more expensive the website becomes. A standard theme can be cheap, but a custom-designed layout costs more.
2. Number of Pages
More pages means more work. Most websites have between 5-15 pages.
3. Functionality
Do you need an online store? Booking system? Member area? All of this adds to the price.
Price Examples
Here are some typical price ranges. You can also see a short website price comparison.
| Type | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Simple website | €1,300 - €2,400 |
| Medium website | €2,400 - €4,700 |
| Advanced website | €4,700 - €10,700 |
| Online store | €4,000 - €13,400+ |
Always start with the essentials and build from there. It's easier and cheaper to add functionality later.

Ongoing Costs
Remember that there are also ongoing costs:

A domain costs approximately €10-15/year.
Maintenance

Conclusion
A professional WordPress website typically costs between €1,300 and €10,700 depending on your needs. My recommendation is to start with the essentials and build from there.
Be careful with "cheap" offers under €700. The quality is rarely good enough for professional use.
