"How much for a website?" The real question isn't the price — it's the return. Here's an honest guide to real costs in Belgium in 2026.

The question everyone asks

"How much for a website?" It's probably the first question any freelancer or small business asks when going online. And the answer is frustrating: it depends.

On what? The type of site, its complexity, who builds it, and what you expect it to do. But instead of staying vague, here's an honest guide to real costs in Belgium in 2026.

The main categories of websites

Type of site Price range Best for
DIY (Wix, Squarespace) €0 – 300/year Blog, prototype
Freelance WordPress €500 – 2,000 Small budgets
Custom-built (developer) €700 – 3,000 SMEs, freelancers
Custom e-commerce €5,000 – 20,000 Online shops
Traditional web agency €2,000 – 8,000 SMEs with budget
Custom web application €10,000 – 50,000+ Business tools, SaaS

Why prices vary so much

A website can cost €500 or €50,000. The difference comes down to:

  1. Who builds it — a junior freelancer, a senior developer, or a 20-person agency
  2. Level of customisation — adapted template vs. bespoke design
  3. Features — simple contact form vs. booking system with payments
  4. Content — you supply the copy, or someone writes it for you
  5. Maintenance — one-off price, or ongoing support included
The price of a website says nothing about its quality. What matters is the return on investment: how many clients does the site bring you?
💡 Key takeaway

A €700 site that brings you 2 clients per month is infinitely more profitable than a €5,000 site that doesn't convert. Choose your provider based on the results they can demonstrate, not the cheapest quote.

Hidden costs you shouldn't forget

Typical recurring costs for a business website

  • Domain name (.be, .com) €10-20/year
  • Hosting €5-50/month
  • SSL certificate Often free
  • Maintenance & updates €0-100/month
  • Professional email €5-10/month

Estimated total: €200 to €600/year in recurring costs for a standard business website.

How to invest wisely

The real question isn't "how much does it cost" but "how much is it worth". Here's our recommendation by situation:

🚀 Just starting out (tight budget)

Invest in a professional business website between €700 and €1,500. That's enough for a credible online presence that generates your first clients. Avoid the free route — it will cost you more in wasted time and missed opportunities.

📈 Established (you want to grow)

Invest between €1,500 and €5,000 in a site optimised for conversion and SEO. Add a maintenance plan to keep your site performing well over time.

⚙️ Specific needs

E-commerce, booking system, business tool — request a detailed quote. A good provider will give you a fixed price with a clear scope, not a vague estimate.
