Searching "how much does a cheap website cost" tends to turn up pretty vague answers: "it depends," "starting from X euros," "request a quote." It's true that it depends, but there are concrete factors that explain why two "cheap" websites can end up costing twice as much as each other. This guide gives you real ranges and explains exactly what a serious provider looks at when pricing a project.
What drives the price of a cheap website
Price doesn't just depend on the number of pages. Here are the factors that weigh most on the final quote:
- Number of sections and pages needed (home, services, contact, blog...).
- Whether you supply the copy and images, or they need to be written and sourced from scratch.
- Level of SEO included: basic technical foundation only, or also keyword research and optimized content.
- Whether you need an online store, and how many products, payment and shipping methods.
- Languages, and whether you need a CMS so you can edit the content yourself.
Ballpark prices by project type
As a reference, a standard responsive design with a clear structure can run around €200, a full package with design, on-page SEO and initial support usually lands around €450, and a simple online store (few products, one payment method) can start from €600. These are indicative figures — the exact price depends on your project's actual scope. You can see the up-to-date breakdown on our pricing page.
What should never be missing, even at a low price
A tight budget shouldn't mean giving up the basics. Before accepting a very low quote, confirm it includes:
- Responsive design that actually works well on mobile, not just on a desktop.
- An HTTPS certificate and a properly optimized load time.
- A contact form that genuinely sends messages (and that you've tested yourself).
- Basic analytics from day one, so you know whether the site is working.
- A minimum SEO foundation: titles, metadata and a correct heading structure.
Signs a "cheap" price is actually expensive
There are ways to cut the sale price that simply push the real cost down the road: low-quality shared hosting that forces a migration within months, closed templates you can't extend without paying for the whole project again, or no SEO at all, which leaves you fully dependent on paid ads to get any traffic. None of that shows up in the initial price, but you pay for it later in time, migrations or ad spend.
How to request and compare quotes properly
Always ask for the scope in writing: what pages are included, whether SEO is included, and what happens if you want to expand later. Compare quotes by what they include, not just the final number.
