How much does a website cost in 2026? Prices and budgets
Quick answer: in Spain, a professional website can cost approximately €600 to more than €30,000, depending on its goals, design, content, functionality and integrations. A simple landing page does not have the same scope as a corporate website designed to attract customers, an online store or a custom web application.
For a company that needs an initial reference, these are market orientation ranges in 2026:
| Project type | Target range | When it usually fits |
|---|---|---|
| Landing or simple website | 600–1,500 € | A proposal, a main action and content already prepared |
| Corporate Web | 1,500–5.000 € | Company with various services, information pages and forms |
| Advanced professional website | 4,000–12.000 € | Architecture, design, contents, SEO technical, analytic or integration |
| Ecommerce | 2,500–15.000 € or more | Catalogue, payments, shipments, taxes, accounts and integrations |
| Custom-made web development | 8,000–30.000 € or more | Users, permissions, data, processes or own business logic |
These amounts are market references without VAT, not official prices of AVSISTEC or closed offers. They serve to prepare an initial investment, but a professional budget can only be specified after defining the scope. Two projects within the same category may require very different amounts of work.

Which website you can expect according to your budget
The price makes sense when it relates to a result and deliverables. An isolated figure does not allow us to know if the project will solve what the company needs.
Landing or simple web: 600–1,500 €
It can fit when there is a single proposal, the content is prepared and the main action is to contact, book a conversation or validate a campaign.
It should normally clarify whether it includes:
- a single structure or page;
- mobile adaptation;
- confirmation form and message;
- basic domain and analytics configuration;
- loading of the content delivered;
- review before publication.
The range increases if you have to define the message, write, create visual identity, prepare graphic resources, measure campaigns or connect the form with other tools.
Corporate Web: 1,500–5,000 €
It is the usual reference for a company that needs to explain several services, present its proposal, generate confidence and receive qualified contacts.
It can include architecture, service pages, responsive design, forms, content provided by the company, technical configuration SEO and basic analytics. The number of URLs is not the only factor: a page with comparisons, cases, specific forms or own components requires more work than a repeated information page.

Advanced professional website: 4,000–12.000 €
This level usually appears when the website should support a business strategy and not just present information. It may require research, deeper architecture, writing, own visual system, multiple conversion paths, migration, multiple languages, accessibility, performance, advanced measurement or integrations.
It may also include work that the visitor does not see directly: redirection management, error states, permissions, form protection, analytical events, documentation and acceptance tests.
Ecommerce: €2,500–15,000 or more
A simple online shop with a reduced catalogue does not amount to an ecommerce with variants, various warehouses, shipping rules, billing, promotions, returns or synchronization with an ERP.
Before evaluating a store, you must define:
- quantity and complexity of the catalogue;
- methods of payment;
- zones, tariffs and shipping rules;
- taxes and billing;
- customer accounts;
- import of products;
- promotions and coupons;
- connection to inventory, logistics or management;
- post-launch support.
Platform fees, payment fees, applications and maintenance should appear separately from the initial development.
Custom-made web development: €8,000–30,000 or more
It makes sense when the project incorporates logic that a standard website does not reasonably resolve: private areas, users and permissions, approval flows, own data, panels, configurators, complex integrations or automations.
In these cases the cost depends less on the number of screens and more on the rules, exceptions, data, security, tests and expected evolution. A responsible price requires analysis; promising a closed figure before understanding the process increases the risk for both parties.
What makes the price of a website go up or down
A well-defined objective and scope reduces uncertainty
A clear briefing allows better estimation and avoids reserving room for unknowns. It should explain what the company wants to achieve, who will use the website, what main action the visitor should perform and what is left out of the first version.
“We need a modern website” does not define a scope. “We need a company to understand three services, to compare what suits you and to request a valuation by providing five data” if it allows starting to specify it.
The content can be an important game
Texts, photographs, videos, documents, translations and tokens need to be responsible. The cost changes if the company delivers final content or if it needs to be investigated, ordered, written, edited, translated, loaded or migrated.
A budget should indicate how many rounds of review it includes and who approves. “Included content” is too ambiguous.
Custom-made template, customization and design are not equivalent
A template can reduce decisions when the project fits in a known structure. It still needs configuration, content, responsive adaptation, accessibility, and testing.
A design itself adds research, hierarchy, components, states and validation. It should not be charged for adding effects, but for better solving the content and paths the project needs.
Functions and integrations change scope
A basic form, a reservation, a private area and an online store are not comparable blocks. Each function should describe users, data, rules, errors and expected result.
Payments, CRM, email, billing, inventory or automation also depend on external services. It is necessary to clarify what data is exchanged, who controls the accounts and what happens if the integration fails.
Migrating an existing website requires keeping what already works
A redesign may require inventory of URLs, redirections, content migration, analytics preservation, data transfer, and integration review. Skipping these tasks reduces the initial figure, but can lead to loss of traffic, contacts, or information.
Technical quality and testing are also part of the budget
Responsive, accessibility, performance, security, forms, metadata, indexing, analytics and error management require verifiable work.
“SEO included” does not guarantee positions. The budget should specify tasks such as header structure, title, descriptions, canonical, sitemap, robots, redirections and structured data when applicable.
Costs that many companies forget when asking for budget
The investment does not necessarily end when the website is published. It is appropriate to separate initial construction, recurring operation and future improvements.
| Concept | Reference: | Which to check |
|---|---|---|
| Domain | 10–30 € per year | Holder, renewal and access |
| Basic/professional hosting | 100–600 € per year | Capacity, copies, support and traffic |
| Managed hosting or advanced infrastructure | 300–1,800 € per year or more | Monitoring, scaling and support |
| Maintenance | 50–300 € per month or more | Updates, incidents, copies and time included |
| Licenses and External Services | Variable | Renovation, Limits and Ownership of the |
| Analytics Free or payment tool, more | configuration Events, consent, panels and | |
| SEO continued | Independent project | Research, content, authority and measurement |
They are references, not a universal rate. A simple static website and a critical ecommerce do not need the same operation.
Domain and hosting
The company should own the domain and retain access to the account. Hosting should compare support, backup, security, capacity, location, renewal and ease of migration, not only the promotional price of the first year.
Maintenance and updates
“Maintenance” can mean from installing updates to monitoring, reviewing copies, resolving incidents and reserving support hours. The contract should explain frequency, response times and what is billed separately.
Analytics, integrations and automations
Installing a label does not amount to defining a useful measurement. Forms, calls, WhatsApp, budget requests and sales may require events, consent and validation.
Integrations and automations usually include external tool costs, usage limits and maintenance when changing an API. They should be separated from the original development.
What should include a professional web budget
Before accepting a proposal, check that it allows you to answer these questions:
- What is the target, and who is the audience?
- What pages, templates and components are delivered?
- Who prepares, load and approves the contents?
- What is the degree of customization in the design?
- What functions, rules, errors and integrations does it include?
- Is content migrated and redirects prepared?
- What responsive, accessible and technical SEO work will be done?
- What analytics and events will be configured?
- What tests and acceptance criteria will be applied?
- What revisions do you include, and how do you manage a change of scope?
- Who owns the domain, hosting, code, data and accounts?
- What training, documentation, support and maintenance are delivered?
- What recurrent costs do they have?
- What is expressly excluded?
If a major item does not appear, ask for a written clarification. Do not consider it included by default.

How to prepare a useful budget request
You don't need to decide technology.
- Objective of the project and problem to be solved.
- Hearing and main action of the visitor.
- Services, products or contents to be presented.
- Pages or routes essential.
- Content available and person responsible for approving it.
- Forms, payments, reservations, private areas or functions required.
- Tools to be connected.
- Web, content or data to migrate.
- Languages.
- Target date and real motive.
- Guidance budget available.
- Subsequent support and maintenance needs.
Giving an investment rank does not force it to be spent: it helps to propose a realistic first version and to separate the essential from what can evolve afterwards.
How to compare price and value without falling into false guarantees
The cheapest proposal may be the right one if it covers the target with less complexity. It may also be leaving out content, testing, migration, support or recurring costs.
Compare deliverables and risks, not promises. No provider can guarantee sales or organic positions just by building a website. You can commit to scope, technical quality, measurement, process, documentation and acceptance criteria.
It does not trust a proposal that:
- offers a figure without asking by objective or requirements;
- uses “complete”, “professional” or “SEO included” without specific tasks;
- does not assign responsibility for the content;
- mentions integrations without describing the flow;
- omits recurring costs;
- does not identify ownership and accesses;
- does not define evidence, revisions or exclusions;
- promises commercial results or guaranteed positions.
Frequently asked questions about prices and web budgets
How much does a professional website cost?
A professional corporate website is usually located in an orientation form between €1,500 and €5,000. An advanced project with strategy, content, own design, measurement or integrations can be between €4,000 and € 12,000 or more. The written scope determines which figure is comparable.
How much does it cost to keep a website?
As a market reference, a maintenance can be between 50 and 300 € per month or more. It depends on updates, monitoring, copies, support, response times, content and criticism. Domain, hosting and licenses can be billed separately.
What does a web budget include?
You should specify objective, scope, pages, contents, design, functions, integrations, responsive, technical SEO, analytics, tests, revisions, calendar, ownership, support, recurring costs and exclusions.
How much does an online store cost?
An online store can start at around €2,500 and exceed €15,000. Catalogue, variants, payments, taxes, shipments, accounts, migration and integrations explain much of the difference. Recurrent fees and commissions must be shown separately.
Why can two web budgets be so different?
Because they can include deliverables, personalization, different content, tests and responsibilities. Compare each game with the same scope before attributing all the difference to the price or to the quality.
How long does it take to develop a website?
A simple landing may take several weeks; a corporate website usually takes between one and three months, and an ecommerce or custom development may need more. Content availability, revisions, and integrations affect as much as programming.
The next step: turning a reference into a real scope
Ranges help to know how much to budget, but they do not replace the analysis. The next step is to define goal, content, functions, integrations and subsequent costs.
