What the Price Includes and How Not to Overpay"},"content":{"rendered":"
In short<\/strong>The price of a website depends mainly on four things: how unique the design is, content (copy) creation, features and how much work is done after launch. A cheap quote usually leaves one of them out. Compare quotes by content, not just by the total.<\/div>\n

“How much does a website cost?” is probably the question web developers hear most often. The honest answer is: it depends. But that doesn’t mean the price can’t be estimated in advance. In this article we look at what the price of a website really consists of, why quotes can differ tenfold and how to choose a partner whose price is fair.<\/p>\n

What is the price of a website made of?<\/h2>\n

Every website project can be split into five parts. The more of them the developer does for you, the higher the price \u2013 and the less work is left for you.<\/p>\n

1. Planning and structure<\/h3>\n

Before design, you need to decide which pages are needed, what visitors should do and which keywords people use to find you. This is often missing from cheaper quotes, yet it determines whether the site generates enquiries.<\/p>\n

2. Design<\/h3>\n

A ready-made template is cheap and fast, but your site looks like thousands of others. A custom design takes more time but reflects your brand and is built around your content.<\/p>\n

3. Copy and images<\/h3>\n

Many companies underestimate this part. Good, SEO-aware, persuasive copy is often the main reason a new site brings in more customers than the old one. If you write the copy yourself, the price is lower \u2013 but factor in your own time.<\/p>\n

4. Development and features<\/h3>\n

A simple brochure site is cheaper than one with bookings, multiple languages, a price calculator, a customer portal or a CRM integration. Every feature adds development and testing time.<\/p>\n

5. Technical SEO, speed and security<\/h3>\n

Speed, metadata, structured data, redirects from the old site and security settings. They are not visible to the eye, but they decide whether Google finds you.<\/p>\n

Why do quotes differ so much?<\/h2>\n

If you get three quotes \u2013 \u20ac600, \u20ac2,500 and \u20ac7,000 \u2013 it doesn’t mean anyone is cheating. Usually they are offering different things:<\/p>\n
