How much does a business website cost?
Learn how much a business website costs. We explain prices from PLN 1,500, the cost of additional pages and the factors that affect a quote.
By softwero
At softwero, a simple business website starts at PLN 1,500. Each additional standard page usually costs PLN 300. The final quote, however, depends not only on the number of pages but also on their content, the features required and the materials that need to be prepared.
The best way to answer the question ‘How much does a website cost?’ is therefore to look at specific examples. A sole trader providing one service needs a different scope from a manufacturer with a broad product range, a portfolio and several forms.
How much does a simple website cost?
The base price of a business website starts at PLN 1,500. This is the starting point for a small website whose job is to introduce the company, organise its offer and make it easy for customers to get in touch.
We usually add PLN 300 for each additional standard page. Here, a standard page means one that uses the visual system already established for the website, without a separate calculator, advanced search or unusual integration.
An example calculation might look like this:
| Website scope | Indicative price |
|---|---|
| Base website | from PLN 1,500 |
| Base website and 3 additional pages | from PLN 2,400 |
| Base website and 5 additional pages | from PLN 3,000 |
| Base website and 8 additional pages | from PLN 3,900 |
These figures are indicative. Before work begins, we agree the exact scope and provide a price for the project described.
What can a PLN 1,500 website include?
At this price, we can prepare a simple website for a business with a compact offer. Its main purpose is to answer three customer questions: what the company does, why it is worth contacting and how to get in touch.
We agree the scope individually, but a straightforward project will usually include:
- a structure tailored to the company's offer,
- a design consistent with its visual identity,
- layouts adapted to phones, tablets and desktop computers,
- a form or clear contact section,
- basic technical SEO,
- page titles, descriptions and search-friendly URLs,
- preparation for indexing by Google.
If the company offers one main service, this scope is often enough to begin with. Businesses with several service categories usually benefit from separate pages: customers find the right information faster, and every service gets its own URL in Google.
What do you pay for with each additional page?
An additional page is more than another menu item. Its content hierarchy needs to be planned, its sections tailored, its layout prepared for different screens and the elements required by search engines configured.
Typical additional pages include:
- separate service descriptions,
- an About page,
- case studies or a portfolio,
- a contact form,
- pricing,
- answers to frequently asked questions,
- a blog or knowledge base.
The PLN 300 per page price applies to a typical view built within the visual system agreed earlier. If a page requires a bespoke feature or a completely different layout, we price it according to the work involved.
What has the greatest effect on the cost of a website?
The number and variety of pages
Five similar service pages usually require less work than five views that perform completely different functions. Both the number of URLs and their complexity matter.
Copy and materials
If the company already has well-organised copy and images, the work moves faster. If the offer still needs to be explained, the communication planned and the copy edited, we include that work in the quote.
Forms and integrations
A simple contact form is different from a multi-step form, quote calculator or CRM connection. Payments, bookings, maps, newsletters and automatically sending data to other systems can also require additional work.
Editing content yourself
If content will change frequently, the website can be connected to a CMS. For a website updated only a few times a year, commissioning individual changes under a maintenance plan may be simpler and less expensive.
Bespoke features
A product catalogue, search engine, customer portal, login or document generation goes beyond a standard business website. In that case, the project may be closer to a web application and require separate analysis.
How can you estimate the cost of your own website?
First, list the information a customer will look for before contacting you. Do not start with the number of menu items. Start with the questions the website needs to answer.
For a small service business, the list might look like this:
- What does the company do?
- Which specific services does it offer?
- Who are those services for?
- What does working together involve?
- Which projects can it show?
- How can a customer request a quote?
Then group related answers. Some will fit on the home page, while the most important services may need their own pages.
If you need a base website and four additional pages, the simple calculation is:
PLN 1,500 + 4 × PLN 300 = PLN 2,700 minimum
Items outside the standard scope may need to be added to this amount, such as an advanced form, preparation of a large volume of copy or integration with an external system.
Is it worth limiting the number of pages to pay less?
There is no value in creating pages simply to make a website look larger. Equally, there is no value in forcing the entire offer onto one screen solely to reduce the cost.
A separate page makes sense when it covers an important service, addresses a different customer need or should appear in Google for its own search queries. If two pages repeat almost the same content, combining them is better.
A well-planned small website will be more effective than an extensive site full of vague statements. It can always be extended later with more services, case studies and articles.
What costs arise after the website launches?
In addition to the website build, you need to allow for the domain and hosting. Their cost depends on the provider and service specification. Technical maintenance, content updates and further website development may also create additional costs.
Before signing a contract, it is worth establishing:
- who pays for the domain and hosting,
- who has access to those services,
- whether the website owner will receive the code and access credentials,
- how much later changes will cost,
- what support is included in the implementation.
At softwero, the code and access credentials belong to the client. We also provide a 30-day warranty covering technical defects after the website launches.
How much does a website cost at softwero?
The simplest answer is: from PLN 1,500 for a base website and usually PLN 300 for each additional standard page. The final price depends on the content, features, integrations and level of customisation.
Rather than pricing a website solely by the number of menu items, we first examine the company's offer and the website's purpose. This ensures the project contains pages that genuinely help customers make a decision.
