How Much Does Professional Website Development Cost?

One of the first questions businesses ask when considering a new website is: "How much will it cost?"

There isn't one universal price. The cost of a website depends on its size, design, functionality, integrations, and how much custom development the project requires.

However, it is possible to establish realistic starting points so you can understand what type of solution fits your business and budget.

How Much Does Website Development Cost?

KDES website development packages start from €500 for a simple business website. More complex websites start from €1,000, while a fully custom e-commerce store starts from €1,500.

For complex web applications, platforms, and highly customized solutions, the price is determined after reviewing the project requirements.

1. Simple Website — From €500

This option is designed for small businesses, freelancers, and personal brands that need a professional and reliable online presence.

Starting price: €500

The package includes:

• up to 5 pages;
• custom design and layout;
• mobile-responsive design;
• contact form;
• SEO-optimized structure;
• Google Analytics setup;
• 3 months of free post-launch support.

A typical project of this size takes approximately 2–3 weeks to complete.

2. Complex Website — From €1,000

If your business needs more than a simple informational website, a more advanced solution may be required, with custom functionality and business logic.

Starting price: €1,000

This package can include:

• unlimited pages;
• custom functionality and business logic;
• admin panel or CMS;
• database integration;
• advanced SEO setup;
• performance optimization;
• API integrations;
• 3 months of free post-launch support.

Depending on the scope, these projects typically take 4–6 weeks to develop.

3. E-Commerce Website — From €1,500

If you want to sell products online, you need more than a standard business website.

KDES builds fully custom online stores designed around the specific requirements of each business.

Starting price: €1,500

An e-commerce project can include:

• product catalogue and management;
• shopping cart and checkout;
• payment gateway integration;
• order management;
• inventory tracking;
• e-commerce SEO;
• 3 months of free post-launch support.

A typical e-commerce project takes approximately 5–8 weeks, depending on functionality and integrations.

4. Custom Project — Price on Request

Not every project fits into a standard package.

If you need a web application, platform, customer system, complex integrations, or other custom functionality, the project is planned and priced individually.

For these projects, the first step is to understand the requirements, plan the technical architecture, and then prepare a project-specific quote.

A custom project can include:

• full project discovery;
• technical architecture and planning;
• scalable infrastructure;
• third-party integrations;
• project management;
• full source code ownership;
• ongoing support and future development.

What Determines the Cost of a Website?

Two websites can look relatively similar while having very different development costs.

The price is usually affected by:

• number of pages — more unique pages and content mean more development work;
• design complexity — custom design requires more work than adapting a ready-made template;
• functionality — calculators, filters, user accounts, admin panels, and other features increase the project scope;
• integrations — payment systems, CRM platforms, APIs, and other external services;
• SEO and performance — technical optimization should be considered during development, not added as an afterthought;
• custom programming — more complex business logic requires additional development time.

What's Included in KDES Website Development?

Regardless of the package, KDES follows the same core development standards across projects.

Websites are hand-coded from scratch without WordPress or ready-made templates, using PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Every project includes:

• mobile-first responsive design;
• SEO-optimized code structure;
• fast loading and performance optimization;
• Google Analytics and Search Console configuration;
• 3 months of free post-launch support.

KDES states that its builds consistently achieve 90+ Google PageSpeed scores out of the box, before additional optimization.

Is the Price Final?

No. The prices shown are starting prices, not automatic final quotes.

The final price depends on the project scope, number of pages, required functionality, and integrations. Before development begins, KDES agrees on a fixed price with the client so there are no unexpected development costs.

Hosting, domain registration, and third-party services are separate and are disclosed and agreed upon before the project begins.

Why Does a Professional Website Cost More Than a Template?

A ready-made template or low-cost website solution may seem cheaper at first. But the initial price isn't the only thing that matters for a business.

A professionally developed website should be fast, secure, easy to use, mobile-friendly, and built around the actual goals of the business.

A custom-coded website also makes it possible to avoid unnecessary code, bloated plugins, and the limitations that often come with ready-made platforms.

Not Sure Which Package You Need?

That's completely normal. You don't need to know exactly which technology, functionality, or package you need before speaking with a developer.

Describe your idea — even roughly. We'll help define the project scope, recommend the right solution, and provide a clear fixed-price quote with no obligation.
