How Much Does a Business Website Cost?

If you are asking how much a business website costs, the short answer is that a professional corporate site in Spain usually falls between 1,500 and 6,000 EUR, while an online store or custom build often sits between 6,000 and 15,000 EUR. The range is wide because you are not paying for "a pretty website" alone: strategy, web design, content architecture, baseline SEO, development, integrations, and ongoing maintenance all matter. Who executes it also weighs in, because a specialized freelancer in Spain may charge 240 to 500 EUR per day depending on profile and experience. The key is not finding the lowest price, but understanding what each web quote includes and whether that cost matches the commercial value the site should generate for your company.

How much a business website costs

In Spain, a professional company website usually costs between 1,500 and 5,000 EUR if it is corporate (several pages, copy, mobile, and an editable CMS). A landing page is often 800 to 2,000 EUR. A simple online store, 2,500 to 8,000 EUR. Custom development or heavy integrations, from 5,000 EUR upward. Doing it yourself with a template is 100–300 EUR per year for domain and hosting: that is not a business website, it is a minimal storefront.

Those ranges match what you see in 2026 comparisons (agency or freelancer, not the 50 EUR builder). The useful price is not the lowest: it is the one that includes structure, copy, and a technical base so someone can find you and contact you.

Real ranges by site type

Landing or 1–3 page site. 800–2,000 EUR for serious work. Fits a campaign or a solo provider with one offer. Falls short if you have five services and want local SEO.

Corporate (4–12 pages). 1,500–5,000 EUR is the usual SMB band: home, services, about, contact, sometimes blog or cases. It goes up if everything must be written, components designed, or the form connected to CRM.

Ecommerce. From ~2,500 EUR for a small catalog; 5,000–15,000 EUR with variants, payments, stock, or product pages that must sell. The cost is not "install WooCommerce": it is product pages, checkout, and maintenance.

If you already have a site that does not convert, you may not need another 8,000 EUR site. First look at signs you need a redesign.

What drives cost up (for good reasons) and what is filler

Cost drivers: many services to explain, copy from scratch, campaign pages, baseline technical SEO, integrations, distinct mobile and desktop design. A customer arriving from Maps on a phone needs to understand you and call without zooming.

An endless slider, animations that slow load, or "social presence" bundled into the web quote does not justify cost sensibly. If a line item does not improve the user's decision or your team's work, ask for justification.

Template, freelancer, or agency

Template or builder: cheap to validate. Risk: structure that does not fit your business, slow, hard to scale. Freelancer: good if scope is locked. Agency: when UX, copy, development, SEO, and coordination align.

WordPress fits if you publish a lot and want plugins. Framer if you prioritize design and fast landings. Do not choose by trend: Framer or WordPress by maintenance and autonomy. The web design that counts is what converts, not the mockup.

What you pay after launch

Domain (~10–15 EUR/year), hosting or platform plan (50–300 EUR/year, sometimes more), backups, updates, SSL, paid plugins. Professional maintenance: from a few tens to a few hundred euros per month, depending on WordPress, store, or content only.

Over three years, the "cheap" 900 EUR without support often costs more than 3,500 EUR with an improvement plan. Budget to measure forms and adjust messaging when prices or services change.

How to know if it pays off

Do not count visits. Count opportunities. High ticket: a few well-explained contacts may be enough. Estimate qualified visits × contact rate × customer value. A 4,000 EUR site that wins back two quotes a year lost to a confusing home pays for itself.

Review home, service pages, and the form. A landing that converts and a site that does not convert are diagnosed the same way: friction, not "more blue." Get scope in writing: pages, revisions, CMS, initial SEO, training, and what happens on day 31.

Ranges and criteria to evaluate a web investment

To compare proposals fairly, look at the price range together with scope. In 2026, market reference puts a specialized freelancer in Spain at 240 to 500 EUR per day, and professional corporate sites often fall between 1,500 and 6,000 EUR. Ecommerce or custom development projects usually need 6,000 to 15,000 EUR because they include more strategy, technology, testing, and integrations. I would evaluate each quote by line items: design, development, content, SEO, maintenance, and three-year total cost of ownership.

Project type	Indicative range	What it usually includes	Decision criterion
Professional corporate website	1,500-6,000 EUR	Design, main pages, development, baseline content, and initial SEO	Fits if you need solid presence, trust, and lead capture
Online store or custom project	6,000-15,000 EUR	Ecommerce, integrations, specific features, testing, and support	Fits if the site directly drives sales or operations
Specialized freelancer	240-500 EUR/day	Execution by expert profile according to scope, technology, and time	Fits if requirements are clear and you need flexibility
Template or very basic solution	Varies by tool and setup	Predefined design, less customization, less hand-holding	Fits if you validate an idea and accept differentiation limits

Conclusion

In short: investing without wasting money means paying for a site that solves a business problem, not a collection of screens. For a company in Spain, a professional corporate site usually sits between 1,500 and 6,000 EUR, and ecommerce or custom development between 6,000 and 15,000 EUR. The reasonable figure depends on scope, technology, content level, initial SEO, and ongoing maintenance. I would compare quotes by value delivered, total cost of ownership, and ability to generate real opportunities; that is how you know if a site is expensive or simply a bad investment.

Frequently asked questions about how much a business website costs

Why are there 500 EUR quotes and 8,000 EUR quotes for what looks like the same thing?

Because many proposals compare only the visible result, not the work behind it. A cheap site may use a template, include few pages, skip copy, skip analytics setup, and leave out technical SEO. A higher quote may include strategy, custom design, content architecture, development, testing, mobile optimization, integrations, and support. Ask for a clear breakdown. If two proposals have the same number of pages but one includes research, copy, SEO, and maintenance, they are not really offering the same thing.

What recurring costs does a website have besides the initial design?

Beyond initial design, a site can have domain, hosting, certificates, licenses, plugins, subscriptions, backups, technical maintenance, and support costs. Also plan for content updates, form checks, speed improvements, security monitoring, and conversion measurement. On WordPress, for example, some extensions require annual payment. On closed platforms, there may be a monthly fee. Calculate total cost of ownership over three years, not just launch price, because the site needs to keep working and evolving.

Can a cheap website cost me more in the medium term?

Yes, especially if it forces a rebuild too soon or limits lead capture. A cheap site can work to validate an idea, but it can get expensive if it loads slowly, works poorly on mobile, does not let you edit content, lacks basic SEO structure, or conveys little trust. It can also create hidden costs if you later fix technical errors, migrate platforms, or redesign key pages. Before deciding on price alone, assess whether the site will be sustainable over the next few years.

Does the price include SEO and launch, or is that billed separately?

It depends on the provider and scope. Some quotes include basic launch SEO: title structure, meta descriptions, clean URLs, indexing, minimum performance, and measurement tool setup. Others cover only design and development, leaving SEO, content, and go-live as separate line items. Ask for a detailed proposal. A professional site should clarify what happens before publish, what is checked on launch day, and what support exists after. If it is not in writing, ask before you sign.
