The cost of a website depends on the design, complexity, functionality, and features required. Simple websites with a few pages and low or little customisation typically cost around €5,000 whereas large complex websites with a large amount of bespoke design and functionality can cost €50,000 and upwards. The majority of business websites lie somewhere within this range.
