How much does a professional website cost in Belgium?

How much does a website cost ? It is the first question we get. The honest answer is : it depends. A simple showcase site has nothing to do with an online shop. Here are clear ranges, and what really makes the price vary.

The main price ranges

These figures are indicative, for the Belgian market. Your project may sit below or above them.

• Showcase site of a few pages : often between 1 000 and 5 000 euros.
• Fuller site, with a blog, multilingual and forms : between 3 000 and 10 000 euros.
• Online shop : from 5 000 euros, and much more depending on the features.

Showcase site or online shop?

The type of site changes everything. A showcase site presents your company and your services. It stays simple and affordable. An online shop handles products, payments and orders. It takes more work, so more budget. Choose based on what the site must do, not on what looks modern.

What does the price depend on?

Several elements weigh on the bill.

• The number of pages.
• The design : an adapted template, or full custom work.
• The features : forms, booking, payment, customer area.
• Multilingual support.
• The content : text and photos supplied, or to be created.
• Maintenance after launch.

What drives the bill up

• Full custom design, instead of an adapted template.
• Specific features, such as online booking or payment.
• Content to produce from scratch : writing, translation, photos.
• Endless change requests, for lack of a clear brief at the start.

The costs people forget

A website is not a one-off purchase. Plan for three recurring items too.

• Hosting and the domain name, every year.
• Maintenance and security updates.
• Small changes over time.

A site left without upkeep ages fast and becomes vulnerable.

How to pay the right price

A few simple habits help you frame the budget.

1. Define the goal of the site before you ask for a quote. Sell, inform, or take bookings ?
2. List the pages and features that are truly useful. The rest can come later.
3. Ask for a detailed quote, line by line. Be wary of vague packages.
4. Check what is included after launch.
