The first question our clients ask is almost always the same: how much will it cost? "It depends" is not a satisfying answer, so we decided to write a more concrete overview. The prices below are indicative and reflect the Slovak market. The exact amount always depends on the scope of your project.
What affects the price of a website
A website is not an off-the-shelf product. The price is mostly shaped by:
- the number of pages and the complexity of the design,
- the features you need (bookings, payments, logins, filters),
- integrations with other systems such as accounting, inventory or CRM,
- the number of language versions,
- copywriting and photography, if you don't have them ready,
- basic SEO and page speed.
Indicative price ranges
| Project type | Indicative price | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Simple presentation site | from €500 to €2,000 | 1 to 3 weeks |
| Company website with several pages | from €2,000 to €6,000 | 3 to 8 weeks |
| E-shop | from €3,000 to €15,000 and up | 6 to 16 weeks |
| Custom web application | from €8,000 and up | depends on scope |
If someone promises you a full e-shop for €300, ask what is not included. A cheap website often gets expensive through extra changes later.
One-off and recurring costs
When planning your budget, don't forget the ongoing expenses. Building the site is only the beginning.
- Domain: usually a few euros per year.
- Hosting: from a few euros per month for a simple site, more for an e-shop or an application.
- Maintenance and updates: a website needs regular updates and backups, otherwise the risk of security problems grows.
- Further development: new features, content and SEO.
Freelancer, agency or website builder?
Website builders like Wix or Webnode are fine for a very simple start, but you will hit limits with design, speed and SEO. A freelancer can be affordable, but it matters who looks after the site when something breaks or when that person is on holiday. A small team or an agency gives you the confidence that several people stand behind the project and that documentation and support exist after launch.
How to get a fair quote
If you want quotes you can actually compare, prepare a few things in advance:
- a short description of your company and the goal of the website,
- a list of pages and features you expect,
- examples of websites you like,
- whether you already have texts, photos and a logo,
- an approximate budget and a launch date.
The better the brief, the more accurate the price and the fewer unpleasant surprises.
Conclusion
The price of a website is not just a number on an invoice. It is an investment that should pay off through new customers and a stronger brand.
