How much does a small-business website cost in Europe in 2026?

A small-business website in Europe costs from about €300 to €8,000 before VAT. A one-page site from a Czech freelancer starts at around €300, a typical five-page business site costs €400–3,000 in most countries (up to €6,400 from a French freelancer), and agencies charge €1,400–8,000. Looking after the site after launch adds €20–300 a month.

The country where the developer works matters as much as what you order: the same five-page site is often two to three times cheaper in Czechia than in France. Below are public prices from five markets, collected on 10–11 November 2026.

Prices before VAT, as published by studios and market guides. 1 € = 24.35 Kč, £1 ≈ €1.19.

The cheapest offers are in Czechia: a five-page site from a small studio such as Weblik costs 9,899 Kč (about €410), and a one-page site from Dejtonaweb starts at 9,900 Kč. Western Europe starts where Czechia ends.

What each budget usually gets you

  • Up to about €800. One page or a small site of up to five pages, often on a template, with texts you write yourself and a contact form.
  • €800–3,000. A custom design for your business, three to ten pages, help with the texts, basic SEO, and features such as online booking or a second language.
  • €3,000–8,000. An agency project: a larger site, several languages, copywriting and photography, and connections to your CRM, payments or shop.

What moves the price

  • Pages and texts. One page with your own copy costs a fraction of ten pages where someone writes and translates the copy for you.
  • Custom design or a template. A template is cheaper and faster; a custom design fits your brand and your clients.
  • Languages. Each language needs its own translated pages and settings for Google, so a site in three languages costs more than one in a single language.
  • Features. Online booking, payments, a shop or a CRM connection add work. Connecting a ready-made booking app is cheap: French guides quote €50–150. A booking system built for you costs much more.
  • Who builds it. A freelancer in Prague and an agency in Paris quote very different prices for similar work, mostly because of local rates.

Costs after launch

A website needs updates, backups and small changes after it goes live. Published care plans start at 497 Kč (about €20) a month in Czechia, €49 a month in Germany and €70 a month in France; Spanish guides quote €50–300 and British ones £50–150 (about €60–180) a month. Plans with SEO work and a monthly report sit at the top of these ranges.

Add the domain and hosting, and the subscription for any booking app you use. Ask who pays for each and in whose name they are registered.

How to compare quotes

  1. 01Compare the same scope: the number of pages and languages, and who writes the texts.
  2. 02Check that basic SEO is included: page titles and descriptions, a sitemap, and Google Search Console.
  3. 03Make sure the domain, hosting and code are registered to you, not to the developer.
  4. 04Ask for a fixed price and a launch date in writing before work starts.
  5. 05Ask what care costs after launch and what it includes.
  6. 06Check whether the price includes VAT.
  7. 07Open two or three sites the developer has built on your phone and see how fast they load.

What it costs with me

I build websites for small businesses across the EU from €800. That is below the middle of the Czech market and well under German, French and UK prices. The final price depends on the number of pages, languages and features.

You talk to the developer directly. Send a short brief, and within one business day you get two or three options, each with a price and a date. The contract and invoice are in EUR, through a business registered in Czechia. Examples: a barbershop site in three languages with Altegio booking and an artist site with a 3D DJ controller. After launch, care starts at €29 a month.

Questions

Are these prices with VAT?

The ranges above are before VAT wherever the source says so. VAT rates differ by country, so ask every provider whether their quote includes it.

Can I get a website for €300?

Yes, from the cheapest Czech freelancers or a site builder: usually one page on a template with your own texts. That is enough to start; a site that brings in bookings and enquiries usually needs a bigger budget.

Why are websites cheaper in Czechia than in France?

Mostly because of local rates for the same work. A developer in Czechia can build for clients across the EU, so you can order from there and pay in EUR.

How long does a small business website take?

With me, usually two to four weeks from the signed agreement to launch. The exact date is written into the proposal.
