Website build cost

Build a website:
What costs are realistic?

If you want a realistic view of company website pricing, you need to look at upfront cost, ongoing website cost, and future changes together. That is what this page breaks down.

Website cost overview

Three price components for companies that want a website built and need to understand not just the starting price, but the ongoing website cost as well.

Which factors influence the cost of your company website

So you can better estimate before the first conversation why some websites start from EUR 2,000 while others cost significantly more.

What increases the price

Many different sections
Each section (hero, team, FAQ, references…) is individually designed and developed. More sections in the initial project = more effort.
Custom functionality
Calculators, member areas, or advanced forms go beyond standard CMS features.
Elaborate visual design
Animations, illustrations, or highly detailed layouts require more design and development time.
Content migration
Need to automatically transfer existing content (e.g. blog posts) from your old website? That requires additional development work.

What reduces effort

Clear requirements from the start
The clearer your goals, the fewer alignment loops and the lower the effort.
Existing content
If you already have text and imagery, we can move directly into implementation.
Focused scope
A lean, well-structured website is often both cheaper and more effective than an overbuilt one.
Fast feedback
Shorter gaps between feedback rounds keep the process smoother and more efficient for everyone.
Migration as a special case

If existing content should be transferred, the migration effort is scoped separately.

Especially with larger legacy estates, effort depends heavily on URL structure, media, SEO requirements, and edge cases. That is why we explain the migration logic and pricing boundary transparently on a dedicated page.

Ongoing website cost

What a website costs per month and over 3 years

The launch is only one part of the story. What matters is what a company website costs per month and over time, including maintenance, changes, and technical overhead. This is exactly where WordPress costs are often underestimated.

Typical cost of a WordPress website

Calculated over 3 years, including maintenance and changes

Agency launch 3,000–8,000 €
Hosting & plugins per year 500–1,500 €
WordPress maintenance & fixes per year 1,000–3,000 €
Agency changes 100–180 € / hour
Total after 3 years 10,000–25,000 €+

Typical cost with JetPages

Over 3 years with predictable ongoing support

Initial project (example) from 2,000 €
Ongoing website cost 36 × 29 € 1,044 €
Self-managed content updates 0 € (done by you)
Extensions (estimate) 500–2,000 €
Total after 3 years around 3,500–5,000 €
Honesty

Who these website costs make sense for

We do not take every project. That is how we make sure budget, ongoing cost, and value actually line up.

JetPages is worth it when...

You want a long-term solution, not the cheapest short-term one
Your website should actively support customer acquisition
You want to maintain content yourself without needing a developer
You want predictable monthly website costs instead of unclear extra work
You are tired of WordPress and want a lower-maintenance alternative
You have at least EUR 2,000 available for the initial project

Less suitable when...

Your budget is below EUR 2,000 — in that case we would honestly recommend another option
You need a full e-commerce system with a product catalog
You want to build the site yourself — JetPages is not a DIY builder

Frequently asked questions

Questions about website build cost

For simpler company websites, JetPages starts from EUR 2,000. The exact price depends on page scope, design ambition, custom functionality, migration, and existing content. That is why we calculate transparently after the intro call instead of forcing every project into a package price.

With JetPages, ongoing website cost starts from EUR 29 per month. That includes hosting, SSL certificate, technical baseline care, and direct access when questions come up. Extra extensions or larger change requests are only added when needed.

After launch, websites typically have costs for hosting, security updates, uptime monitoring, small technical maintenance tasks, and support. With many systems, plugin licenses or external maintenance retainers are added on top. JetPages bundles the technical baseline support from EUR 29 per month.

Because WordPress costs rarely stop at hosting. You also get plugin licenses, updates, update conflicts, security checks, and often agency time for even small changes. That is why many companies compare total website cost over several years instead of only the launch price.

Yes. After handover, you can manage text, images, new pages, and sections yourself. That reduces ongoing cost significantly because many standard changes no longer require an agency or developer.

No. Every company website has different requirements. After the intro call we calculate your project transparently. A realistic starting point is EUR 2,000 for simpler scopes, but there is no rigid package and no surprise upsell.

The initial project is usually split into two installments: 50% at project start and 50% at launch. Monthly support begins after launch. The exact structure is fixed in the proposal.

Yes, after the agreed minimum term — typically 12 months — on a monthly basis with three months' notice. We want a long-term partnership, not a trap.
