Web Design Pricing | Website Cost

How is web design pricing determined?

The price of web design is determined by the scope of the site, the originality of the design, its functions and the need for support after launch. Even two sites with the same number of pages can cost differently, because the price is set not by the number of pages but by the work and technical requirements behind them.

Number of pages: Every page means design, content placement, testing and an SEO check.
Original or ready-made design: A brand-specific design takes more design work than adapting a ready-made template.
Corporate content needs: Will copywriting, image preparation and translation come from you, or be produced together?
Multilingual support: Every language brings its own content, URL structure and SEO setup.
Admin panel: User roles, custom fields and content flows widen the scope.
E-commerce functions: Cart, payment, stock, shipping and order management are a separate work item.
Custom software integrations: CRM, ERP, payment providers or custom API connections require development work.
Scope of SEO work: The technical foundation can be built with the design; ongoing content and authority work is a separate service.
Hosting and maintenance: Hosting, updates, backups and security checks are a continuing cost item.
Technical support: The scope of support after launch and response times should be written in the quote.

Why are there no TL amounts on this page?

Publishing a figure without a verified, current price list would be misleading. Website quotes on the market vary over a very wide range; a figure whose scope is unknown is useless for comparison. That is why we explain the items that determine cost and give the exact price in a written quote after a scope discussion. This page is current as of November 2026.

Pricing by type of website

The type of site changes which of the cost-determining items come to the fore.

Corporate website

A multi-page structure that presents the company, its services and references. Cost is most affected by design originality, number of pages, content and the need for an admin panel. See our corporate web design page for details.

Promotional website

A shorter structure that promotes a product, service or event. With few pages and limited functions the scope is narrower; still, design, speed and the SEO foundation should be built with the same care.

E-commerce website

Functions such as cart, payment, stock, shipping and order management raise the cost noticeably. For WooCommerce and Shopify options, see our e-commerce website page.

Website based on custom software

Includes panels, calculations or integrations that do not fit standard solutions. Development and maintenance effort is higher; details are on the custom web development page.

Multilingual website

Each language needs its own content, URL structure and SEO setup. Who will handle the translation and the number of languages directly affect the scope.

Web design packages and their scope

We do not publish fixed package prices; we quote projects by scope. The table below shows the typical scope differences between site types; the exact scope is written into every quote.

Typical scope comparison by type of website
Scope item	Promotional site	Corporate site	E-commerce	Custom software based
Page structure	A few pages	Many pages, one per service	Catalog + category + product pages	As needed
Design approach	Original or adapted	Specific to the brand identity	Sales-focused, brand-specific	Interface and flow designed custom
Admin panel	Basic content management	Content management, roles if needed	Product, stock and order management	Custom panel
Functions	Contact form	Forms, multiple languages, integrations	Cart, payment, shipping	Custom business processes and API connections
SEO foundation	Technical foundation	Technical foundation + structure	Product schema, category structure	As needed
Recurring cost	Hosting, domain, maintenance	Hosting, domain, maintenance, content	Hosting, payment commission, licenses, maintenance	Hosting, maintenance, development

Items a quote must always make clear

Whichever agency you work with, the quote should state the items below clearly. This list is the most practical way to compare quotes.

Whether the amount is inclusive or exclusive of VAT
Whether payment is one-off or recurring
In whose name the hosting and domain are bought, and for how long
Theme, plugin or software licenses and their renewal terms
The scope of maintenance (updates, backups, security)
The right to revisions and their limits
The scope of support after launch and response times

Differences between a cheap website and a professional website

A solution with a limited budget can be enough for a simple need. The difference appears when your need grows.

Comparison of a ready-made, limited solution and a comprehensive professional approach
Topic	Ready-made, limited solution	Comprehensive professional approach
Design originality	Ready-made template, limited adaptation	Design based on brand identity and target audience
Performance	Often no extra optimization	Image, code and cache optimization; measurement
Security	Limited updates and hardening	Up-to-date infrastructure, backups, form protection
Mobile experience	May be a shrunken desktop design	Layout and interaction designed separately for mobile
SEO foundation	Usually limited to basic settings	Heading structure, metadata, sitemap, structured data
Code quality	Risk of unnecessary plugins and heavy code	Clean, sustainable and documentable code
Maintenance and extensibility	May be restricted for new needs	Modular structure; open to adding new features

Hidden costs when commissioning a website

The quoted price is often only part of the total cost. Asking about the items below up front prevents surprises:

Hosting renewal: Packages with a discounted first year may have a different renewal price.
Domain renewal: A domain is renewed every year; whose name it is registered in matters.
Paid plugins: Some functions require an annual license.
Technical maintenance: Updates and backups need regular labor.
Content updates: Adding new pages, products and images takes time.
Security work: An attack or vulnerability can create response costs.
New feature development: Functions added later need a separate scope and quote.

If you are also thinking about renewal or maintenance needs, see our website redesign and website maintenance pages.

Ready-made platform or custom software?

The starting cost is usually lower with a ready-made platform; custom software can be more right for processes that do not fit standard solutions, but it takes more development and maintenance effort.

On platforms such as WordPress or Shopify the basic functions are ready; cost concentrates on design, adaptation and plugins. In custom software every function is written to the need; this gives flexibility but requires time and budget. To decide, look at whether the need is standard, at license costs and at your growth plan. We evaluate the options together as part of our web design service.

Frequently Asked Questions About Web Design Pricing

What does it cost to build a website in 2026?

There is no single valid figure; the cost is determined by the number of pages, the originality of the design, the need for an admin panel and integrations, content preparation and the scope of support. This page is current as of November 2026 and deliberately does not publish TL amounts: unverified market figures would be misleading. The exact cost is set with a written quote after a scope discussion.

Why does the price of a corporate website vary?

Because no two corporate sites are alike. Adapting a ready-made template versus a brand-specific design, a five-page structure versus dozens of pages in several languages, and a simple contact form versus a CRM integration all require different effort and technical skill.

Which features raise the price of web design?

Original design and interactions, multilingual support, an admin panel with user roles, e-commerce functions (cart, payment, stock), third-party integrations, heavy content production and the scope of maintenance and support after launch are the items that affect the price most.

Is a ready-made platform or custom software more expensive?

At the start, a ready-made platform (for example WordPress or Shopify) usually needs less development. Custom software can be right for processes that do not fit standard solutions, but it takes more development and maintenance effort. In the long run the right choice depends on whether the need is standard, on license and plugin costs and on your growth plan.

Is SEO included in the website price?

Basic technical SEO (heading structure, meta fields, sitemap, mobile compatibility, speed basics) can be set up during design and development. Continuous content production, keyword work and authority work are a separate service. What is included should be written in the quote.

What yearly expenses does a website have?

Domain and hosting renewal, paid plugin or theme licenses if any, security and technical maintenance, content updates and new feature development make up the yearly expenses. The amounts depend on the quote and the chosen platform; ask for one-off and recurring payments to be written separately in the quote.
