In a nutshell
How much does a professional website cost?
The cost of a website depends mainly on the scope, the features and who provides the copy and images. At Webdesign Loch, there are four typical packages:
- One-page website: a single page with all the key information and a contact form.
- Business website with WordPress: several pages, custom design and easy to update yourself.
- Website with TYPO3: for larger websites with many pages, editors or languages.
- Online store: with payment methods, shipping and legal texts.
On top of that come ongoing costs for hosting and, if you wish, maintenance. After a free check, you always get a binding fixed-price quote, with no hidden costs.

Cost factors
What the price of your website depends on
Two websites can cost very different amounts even though they look similar at first glance. These six points make the difference.
Number of pages
A one-page website is quicker to build than a website with ten service pages, a team page, careers and a blog.
Design
An adapted layout costs less than a completely custom design with many individual elements.
Copy and images
If you provide copy and photos yourself, you save money. If I write the copy, the effort increases, but in return it is tailored to Google and your customers.
Features
Appointment booking, a members area, a configurator or integrations with other software cost extra.
System
WordPress is ideal for smaller websites, TYPO3 for large sites with many editors. Stores need a system of their own.
Languages and SEO
Each additional language and extensive search engine optimization increase the effort, but also bring greater reach.
Ongoing costs: what to expect
| Service | What it covers | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting and domain | Servers in Germany, your domain and email accounts | on request |
| SSL certificate | Encrypted connection (https), important for forms and Google | annually, on request |
| Maintenance and support | Updates, security monitoring, backups and small changes | on request, optional |
| Ongoing SEO | New content, local listings and a monthly report | on request, optional |
| Legal texts | Keeping the legal notice and privacy policy up to date, for example through a legal text service | depends on the provider |

Comparison
Website builder, budget provider or web designer?
Website builders like Wix or Jimdo seem inexpensive at first glance. But you pay monthly fees indefinitely, are tied to the provider and have little room to maneuver on design, loading speed and SEO. That's often enough for a hobby project, but rarely for a business that wants to win inquiries.
Very cheap offers for a few hundred euros are usually based on templates without a concept. Copy, SEO and support are missing, and after launch you are on your own.
With a web designer like me, you pay more once, but you get a website that suits your business, belongs to you and brings in inquiries in a targeted way. And you have a dedicated contact person you can call.

Frequently asked questions about website costs
How much does a website for a small business cost?
The price depends on the number of pages, the features and the copy. After the free check, you get a fixed-price quote.
Why do website prices vary so much?
The amount of work behind a website varies greatly: concept, design, copy, photos, features, SEO and support. Cheap offers often leave out exactly the parts that bring in inquiries later.
Are there hidden costs?
No. The fixed-price quote states exactly what is included. I tell you about ongoing costs such as hosting or maintenance in advance and separately.
What ongoing costs does a website have?
At a minimum, hosting with a domain and SSL. For updates, security and backups, I recommend a maintenance contract. I tell you the costs in advance and separately. You can add SEO or social media as options.
How much does an online store cost?
The price of an online store depends on the number of products, variants, payment and shipping methods and integrations, for example with your inventory management system.
Isn't a website builder cheaper?
At first, yes. But over several years you keep paying fees, are tied to the provider and have little room to maneuver on design, loading speed and SEO. A website of your own belongs to you.
Can I start small and expand later?
Yes. Many clients start with a one-page website or just a few pages and expand the website later. I plan it from the start so that extensions are possible without a rebuild.
Can I save money if I provide copy and photos myself?
Yes. If you provide copy and photos yourself, the effort goes down. I still review your copy for clarity and Google, so the website gets found.
How much does a relaunch of my existing website cost?
About the same as a new website, often a bit less if good content can be carried over. With redirects, your existing Google rankings are preserved.
How long does it take until my website is online?
A one-page website is often ready in 2 to 3 weeks, a business website usually in 4 to 8 weeks. It also depends on how quickly copy and photos are available.
