Website development: all prices on one page

Fixed prices per package, and what falls outside them

I work with a fixed price per website package, so you know the investment up front. For websites I do not bill by the hour, so there is no meter running. The four packages above are starting prices and all amounts exclude VAT. The exact price is in your quote and does not change during the build. Two services fall outside the website packages and have a pricing model of their own:

• Custom web application (client portal, dashboard, integrations): a discovery phase of €399-€750, then a day rate of €450-€650, estimated per component
• Google Ads for service businesses: setup €499, then management at €299/month, excluding ad spend

What every price includes

Every website package is custom work: I design and build the site for your business, not from a theme or template. This is included in the price of every website package.

• A custom design, tailored to your business and your customers
• Works well on mobile, tablet and desktop
• Basic SEO: the right titles, descriptions and page structure, so Google finds you
• Fast loading times, built with Next.js and React and hosted on Vercel
• Contact form and clear buttons to phone or WhatsApp
• Google Analytics, so you can see where visitors come from
• You own the code, the design and the content

Why a fixed price?

Many agencies and developers bill by the hour. That sounds flexible, but you only find out afterwards what it cost, and a project of "about a week" easily turns into two. So we agree up front what you get and what it costs, and that price is in the quote. If it takes me more hours than expected, that is my problem, not yours. If you want something extra along the way, we agree on it first, not on the invoice afterwards.

Costs after launch

You pay the build cost once. After that you only need hosting and a domain name. Maintenance is optional: you can also manage the site yourself.

• Hosting: €10-€25/month, including SSL, backups and monitoring
• Domain name: €10-€15/year
• Maintenance Basic: €49/month, security updates, monthly backup and uptime monitoring
• Maintenance Standard: €99/month, everything in Basic plus content updates and priority support
• Maintenance Pro: €149/month, everything in Standard plus continuous optimisation and reporting
• No maintenance needed? Then you manage the site yourself and I stay reachable for questions

Not sure between two packages?

Look at what your visitors need to be able to do, not at the number of pages. This is the rule of thumb I use myself, and if you send me your situation I will tell you honestly which package I would choose.

• One service and one goal, such as enquiries or bookings: landing page from €499
• A handful of services, an about page and contact: business website from €899
• A page per service, several locations, a blog or portfolio: extended website from €1,499
• Selling products online with payment and inventory: webshop from €2,499
• A client portal, dashboard or integration with your systems: custom web application, we start with a discovery

What does it cost to have a website built?

I build a landing page from €499, a business website with 3-5 pages from €899, an extended website with 5-15 pages from €1,499 and a webshop from €2,499. All amounts are starting prices and exclude VAT. After a short conversation you get a quote with a fixed price, and that price does not change during the build.

Why is the price lower than at a web agency?

Because you work directly with the builder. There is no project manager, account manager or salesperson in between, and no office rent built into the price. You pay for the design and build of your website, not for the layer around it. The site itself is built with the same technology larger firms use: Next.js and React, hosted on Vercel.

Do I have to pay everything up front?

No. Once you agree to the quote, I build a proposal for your homepage first. If you do not like it, you pay nothing. If you approve it, the first invoice follows and I continue building. You pay the remainder at launch, when the site goes live. So you only pay once you have seen what you are getting.

Do the prices include VAT?

No, all prices on this page exclude VAT, as is usual for business services. The quote and the invoice show VAT separately. If you are VAT-registered, you reclaim that VAT through your VAT return. Check with your accountant how to book the build cost.

What would take me above the starting price?

Four things drive the price: the number of pages and how much of the design is bespoke, whether text, photos or translations need to be produced, functionality such as payments, bookings or links to other systems, and whether an existing site has to be migrated while keeping its current URLs. If you supply your own text and photos and need no integrations, you usually stay close to the starting price. What it comes to in your case is in the quote, before I start.

Can I add extra pages or a webshop later?

Yes. I build every site so that pages, a blog, a second language or a webshop can be added later without rebuilding the site. That extra work gets its own fixed-price quote, just like the initial build. You can start small with a landing page or business website and expand as the business grows.

How soon will my website be live?

Most websites are live within 1-2 weeks. A landing page is often ready within a week, an extended website with 5-15 pages takes 2-4 weeks and a webshop takes longer. What mostly determines the schedule is how quickly the text and photos come in. The quote comes with a schedule based on that, and after launch I stay reachable.
