Frequently asked questions

What does a website cost in 2026?

It varies widely: site builders from a few euros a month plus your time, freelancers often €1,500–6,000, agencies €5,000–20,000 and more. The calculator shows the range for your needs.

What are the running costs of a website?

Domain, hosting and SSL, maintenance and updates, plus plugin care for WordPress — and your time for changes.

Is a site builder worth it?

For very simple sites, yes. But plan 20–40 hours of your own work — copy, photos, legal pages and Google optimisation are up to you.
