How much does a business website cost in 2026?

At Tramevia, a custom business website of up to five pages starts at €490, and a landing page at €249, VAT not applicable. The exact price is set in a free quote before any work starts.

Elsewhere the range is wide: an online website builder is paid monthly for as long as the site exists, a freelancer usually charges a fixed fee, an agency adds steps and people. None is better in absolute terms: it depends on what you need.

Five things explain most of the gap between two quotes:

• The number of pages: one scrolling page, or home, services, work, about and contact.
• The content: texts and photos you supply, or ones to be written and produced.
• The features: a simple form, a guided quote request, booking or online payment.
• The design: an adapted template, or a layout drawn for your business.
• The languages: each extra version needs translating and checking.

Online booking (from €790) and an online shop (from €990) change the nature of the project: they are services of their own.

The price of the website is not the only cost. Budget for:

• The domain name, usually around ten to twenty euros a year for a .com or a .fr.
• Hosting, free or a few euros a month for a well-built business website.
• Maintenance, optional: updates, backups, small changes. At Tramevia, from €19 a month.

With an online builder, the subscription often bundles these costs, but it runs for as long as the site exists; if you leave, the site usually does not come with you.

• An online builder suits you if you want to do everything yourself and accept a monthly subscription.
• WordPress suits you if you want to edit many pages yourself; its plugins need regular updates.
• A custom-built website is lighter, faster and has no plugins to update; it suits a site that changes little and must above all convince.

If you are unsure, say so before the quote: the right choice depends on who will make changes, and how often.

Before signing, check that the quote clearly answers these questions:

• Which pages, with what content, and who supplies the texts and photos?
• How many rounds of changes are included?
• Are the domain and hosting in your name?
• Do you receive the source files and access at the end?
• What is the schedule, and what happens if content arrives late?
• What is not included?

A quote that answers all of this is often worth more than a cheaper one that says nothing.
