How much does a website cost in 2026?
In 2026, the price of a website in Slovakia ranges from €500 to €10,000, and both extremes can be the right choice. It depends on what you expect from your website. In this article you will find real numbers, a clear explanation and a guide on how not to overpay.
The quick answer: how much for which website?
Before we go into detail, here are real website prices in Slovakia in 2026. These numbers come from the market, not from wishful thinking.
| Website type | Price (excl. VAT) | When it makes sense |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page (1 page) | €400 to €800 | A campaign, a single service, an event |
| Business website (5 to 10 pages) | €1,000 to €3,000 | Presenting a company, generating enquiries |
| Custom website with bespoke design | €2,500 to €6,000 | A strong brand, a competitive field |
| Online store (basic) | €1,500 to €3,500 | Dozens of products, local sales |
| Online store (complex) | €4,000 to €12,000 | Hundreds of products, integrations, stock |
| Web application / portal | €5,000 to €20,000+ | SaaS, member areas, booking systems |
Important: these are one-off prices for building the website. On top of them come annual running costs: hosting (€50 to €200 a year), a domain name (€10 to €20 a year), an SSL certificate (free to €100 a year) and optional support and maintenance (€100 to €500 a year).

What exactly affects the price?
"How much does a website cost?" is a bit like "how much does a car cost?": the right answer is always "it depends". Here are the factors that really push the price up or down.
Scope and number of pages
Every page means more content, design and testing. A landing page is not the same as a business website with 15 sections.
Custom design vs. a template
A template saves 30 to 60% of the cost but limits originality. A unique design builds a stronger brand.
SEO
A website without SEO is like a shop window in the basement. Basic SEO is part of every sensible website.
E-commerce features
Payment gateways, stock management, discount codes, shipping carriers: every feature adds time and therefore cost.
Language versions
Each language version of a website adds 20 to 40% to the price for translation, configuration and SEO.
Integrations and systems
CRM, invoicing systems, ERP, payment gateways: every integration is a project of its own with its own price.
Content and copywriting
Who writes the copy? If the agency does, add €300 to €1,500 depending on scope. Good copy sells; bad copy repels.
Agency vs. freelancer
An agency means a team, guarantees and a complete service. A freelancer means a lower price and one person. Both have their place.
Agency, freelancer or template? A comparison
This decision significantly affects not only the price but also the result and your experience throughout the process.
Template builders (Wix, Webnode, Squarespace)
Price: €0 to €50 a month. Suitable for complete beginners who need an online presence as quickly and cheaply as possible. Limited options, a generic result and weaker SEO. If your business grows, sooner or later the website will outgrow this framework.
WordPress with a template (with a freelancer's help)
Price: €500 to €1,500. More flexible, with thousands of plugins. A freelancer sets up the basics and you manage the content. The risk: the freelancer may not be available for later changes. The result depends on the individual.
An agency with custom design
Price: €1,500 to €10,000+. A team of designers, developers and SEO specialists. A guaranteed result, long-term support and a complete solution. An investment that pays for itself if you choose the right agency. Take a look at our web design services or our portfolio of completed projects.
Watch out for this
The cheapest website is not automatically the best value. A €200 website that brings no customers and has to be rebuilt a year later will cost you more than a €2,000 website that works from day one. Calculate ROI, not just the initial cost.
What should always be included in the price?
Whoever you choose, these things should always be included, not charged as extras. If they are not, ask for an explanation.
- Responsive design: the website must work on mobile, tablet and desktop. In 2026 this is a necessity, not a bonus feature.
- SSL certificate (HTTPS): without it, Google penalises you and browsers show a warning. It should be a given.
- Basic SEO: meta titles, descriptions, a correct heading structure, loading speed and a sitemap. More about ReVisual's SEO and digital services.
- Training in the admin: after handover you need to be able to add an article or update content without paying for every change.
- Contact form and GDPR: correctly configured processing of personal data is a legal obligation, not an optional feature.
- Google Analytics / Search Console: without data you don't know whether the website works. Setting up measurement should be standard.
- Backups and security: regular backups protect your content. Ask how they are handled before you sign the contract.
Hidden costs nobody tells you about
The price of building a website is only the beginning. Here are the items you need to budget for after launch, which most people underestimate.
Hosting and domain name
Quality hosting for a WordPress website costs €60 to €200 a year. Cheap hosting at €20 a year means a slow site, outages and security risks, which ultimately cost more. A domain name (.sk or .com) costs around €10 to €20 a year.
Maintenance and updates
WordPress and its plugins need regular updates. Neglected maintenance means security vulnerabilities. Budget €30 to €80 a month for website management if you don't want to do it yourself.
Content and photos
A beautiful website with poor content does not sell. Professional product or team photos: €200 to €800. Copywriting for the website: €300 to €1,500 depending on scope.
Advertising and marketing after launch
A website on its own does not bring customers from day one. Google Ads, Facebook ads or SEO link building are separate investments. Budget at least €200 to €500 a month for paid campaigns if you want fast results.
The price of a website is not an expense; it is an investment in a sales channel that works for you 24/7. The right question is not "how much does it cost?" but "how much will it earn me?"
Frequently asked questions about website prices
Why do prices vary so much, from €200 to €5,000?
Because "website" is as broad a term as "car". A Škoda Fabia and a Porsche are both cars. A €200 website is a template thrown together in a day; a €5,000 website is a well-thought-out digital solution with UX research, unique design, an SEO strategy and a technical foundation built for growth. Both can be the right choice; it depends on what you expect from the website.
Is it worth investing in a more expensive website?
If the website is your business's main sales channel, yes, very much so. The difference between a 0.5% and a 3% conversion rate at the same traffic means six times as many customers. With the right marketing, an investment in a quality website usually pays for itself within 6 to 18 months. If you are not sure, talk to us for free.
Can I build a website myself and save money?
Yes, if you have the time, patience and appetite to learn. Wix, Webnode or WordPress with Elementor let you build a working website without technical knowledge. But your time has value. If you earn €30 an hour and building the website takes you 80 hours, your "free" website costs €2,400.
How long does it take to build a website?
Landing page: 1 to 2 weeks. Business website: 3 to 6 weeks. Online store: 6 to 14 weeks. A custom website with complex features: 3 to 6 months. Most delays happen on the client side, when approving copy, images and feedback.
Are website prices in Slovakia different from abroad?
Yes. Slovak agencies are usually 20 to 40% cheaper than Austrian or German ones. That is why many foreign companies outsource web design to Slovakia. The quality is comparable and the prices more favourable. Find out more about website design and development at ReVisual.
How to choose the right agency: 5 questions to ask
Choosing an agency is as important as choosing a supplier for any other part of your business. Here are 5 questions that separate professionals from those who just sell dreams.
- "Can you show me websites you have built and the results they brought?" Reference projects say more than any price list. Browse our portfolio.
- "Who exactly will work on my project?" You want to know who you will be communicating with, not just the company name.
- "What happens if I'm not happy with the design?" How many rounds of revisions are included? What if we fundamentally disagree?
- "What is included in the price and what is not?" Hosting, domain, copy, photos, SEO: what is extra and how much does it cost? See our pricing.
- "How will the website measure results?" If the agency knows nothing about analytics, you won't get a website that sells, just a website that looks nice.
