How much does a website cost: what the price is made of
A business website costs from €800. That price includes a custom design, up to 5 sections, a layout that works on phones and desktops, a contact form and publishing. Domain and hosting are paid separately, usually a few tens of euros a year. We give you the price after a free consultation, and it does not change while we work.

What €800 includes
For €800 you get a finished, published business website with a custom design, not an adapted ready-made template.
- Custom design for your business.
- Up to 5 sections.
- Works on phones, tablets and desktops.
- Contact form.
- Excellent SEO and AEO (AI search) optimisation.
- Google Analytics, Google Business Profile and Search Console setup.
AEO means the site is prepared not only for Google's links but also for AI answers, such as ChatGPT or Google's AI Overviews. We explain what it is in What is AEO, and why it matters right now in a separate article.
What costs extra
The price depends mainly on the number of sections and what the website needs to do. An informational site costs less than one where customers book a time or pay online.
| Extra work | Why it is charged separately |
|---|---|
| Writing the texts | If the texts are not ready, they have to be written |
| Photography | If you have no images of your own |
| Each additional language | Every language is a separate piece of work |
| Content management system | So you can change the content yourself |
| Bookings, payments, customer accounts | These are separate features with their own logic |
| Integration with accounting or stock software | It has to connect to the systems you already use |
If you need any of these, we include it in the price from the start rather than adding it to the bill at the end.
What a website costs every year
Only the domain and hosting are compulsory, together usually a few tens of euros a year. There are no other compulsory payments, and a monthly maintenance subscription is not required either.
- The domain, for example yourcompany.lv, is registered in your name and remains yours.
- We choose hosting to suit the website, because a slow server makes even a well-built site slow.
- After launch we make changes on request. Small ones are usually done the same day.
Website, online store or web application: prices
A website has a set starting price. Other projects depend on their scope, so we price them after a consultation and fix the price before work starts.
| Project | Price |
|---|---|
| Website, up to 5 sections | From €800 |
| Online store | After consultation |
| Web application | After consultation, built in stages |
| AI solution | After consultation, starting with one process |
| Maintenance | On request, no compulsory subscription |
| Domain and hosting | A few tens of € a year |
How to prepare so your website is ready in a week
The first version of a standard business website is live within 7 days when the texts and logo are ready. Integrations, several languages or an online store take longer, and we tell you so in the consultation.
- A consultation by phone or in person. You get a fixed price the same or the next working day.
- Days 2-3: you see the first design version in a browser and point out changes straight away.
- Days 4-6: we build the site section by section and make changes the same day.
- Day 7: we test on phones and desktop, publish and connect Google Analytics, Google Business Profile and Search Console.
To make the work faster and cheaper, prepare your texts, logo and images, plus a few websites you like.
