⚡️ We create a Website

This is how it’s done

Introduction

A modern web presence is a must these days, after all you want to reach your clientele somehow. This raises the question of how much a website costs. Well, it depends. For example, how much you want to earn with your website. A static website as your company’s digital business card requires little workload and can go online quickly. If, on the other hand, you need a complete web application with a comment column and an analytics department in the back-end, things get a little more complicated. However, a lot is possible between €50 and €5000.

Influencing factors

Almost all web developers in the private sector expect one-off costs and ongoing costs. One-off costs include the development of a website, ongoing costs ensure ongoing operation: Ongoing costs include:

• Hosting service.
• Renewal of the (usually annually)
• Search engine optimization (SEO)

With content management systems such as Wordpress or Wix, you can create your own website quickly and effectively, but in this case you have little freedom: the themes are inflexible, and in the event of a technical problem you are dependent on support that is on the other side of the world. There is nothing wrong with the pragmatism of a “construction kit website”, after all the processes are highly optimized, and anyone who needs “a website quickly” will quickly achieve their goal with the ready-made solutions. However, if you want to take control of your web presence yourself, enjoy unlimited freedom to design it, and have a personal contact nearby, a tailor-made website “made by hand” will be the wiser choice in the long term. This will be reflected in the price, but offers you a fully integrated complete solution with personal support, so that you can concentrate fully on your business.

Workload

Depending on the size of the website, the creation costs between €50 and €5000. A static website is created quickly and costs accordingly little. Dynamic features such as calendar synchronization, real-time 3D animations, survey forms or Adobe exports require additional work, which will be reflected in the price. As a rule of thumb: the more static and smaller the website, the cheaper it will be. The more dynamic, larger and more complex the website, the more expensive it will be.

Special Effects

In our attention-seeking society, standing out plays a big role. So if you want to stand out to visitors to your website, special effects can be helpful: animations, scrolling effects, hover effects, fade-ins and fade-outs, something with 3D… This makes your website look more interesting, but also affects the scope mentioned above. Special effects are complex to develop and mean more costs for you. So plan your budget carefully for special effects.

Conclusion

The price depends heavily on personal requirements and, not least, on the budget. Once the scope of the project has been clarified in a comprehensive consultation, a specific price can be given.

Types of websites

Different types of websites offer individual design options. In addition to a classic one-pager, which presents the content compactly on a single page, there is the multi-pager, which includes a large number of subpages to present companies and services in detail. A blog website makes it possible to share thoughts, opinions and experiences on various topics online. Online shops are used to promote and sell a wide range of products. Individuals use online business cards to promote services and publish important information and contact options.

Due to the variety of different types of websites, the effort varies, which means that the costs for designing and developing a website vary greatly. The price range is from €50 to €5000, in rare cases even more. In order to determine the costs more precisely, it is therefore advisable to arrange an appointment for a comprehensive consultation. In principle, the development costs can be greatly reduced by using a modular system. We will discuss below whether using a cost-effective homepage construction kit makes sense or whether higher costs for an individual and unique website are justified.

Conclusion

Different types of websites offer individual design options. The price range is from €50 to €5000, and it can be even more expensive for large projects. It is worth comparing different offers in advance and arranging a consultation. Using a modular system can reduce costs. Individuality and uniqueness can drive the price up significantly.

Create your own website

When asked “How much does a website cost?”, modular systems cannot be left unmentioned in this article. Even with a limited budget, you can create a website without any programming knowledge by using Wordpress or Wix. These offer the advantage of quickly creating a web presence with minimal effort and a variety of design templates. However, these solutions quickly reach their limits when it comes to individuality and performance.

Modular systems are perfectly sufficient for private purposes and small projects. But if you are using your website for commercial purposes and want to present your company on the Internet in a convincing and unique way, it is advisable to put the creation and development in professional hands. Experienced web designers and web developers can ensure that your website is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also offers optimal performance and functionality.

The website is often the first point of contact with potential customers, as it advertises your products and services every day and at all times. Therefore, for long-term online success, it is advisable to refrain from using a modular system and consider investing in a personalized website.
