You Deserve to Know What This Costs Before We Talk.
Most agencies hide their pricing and wait until you are emotionally invested before dropping a number that is two or three times what you expected. I think that is a waste of everyone's time. Here are my actual rates, what you get at each level, and how payment works. If your project fits, great. If not, at least you know before either of us spends an hour on a call.
Starter Site
For freelancers, consultants, and small businesses who need a website that actually works, not just exists.
€450 - €2,200
1-2 weeks
What You Get
You get a custom design (no templates, no page builders), responsive development that looks right on every screen, SEO setup so Google can find you, a content management system so you can update things yourself, a contact form that sends leads to your inbox, and 30 days of support after launch. This is not a basic template with your logo on it. It is a proper, hand-built site that loads fast and makes your business look legitimate.
Typical Projects
Business showcase sites, consultant landing pages, personal brand sites, single-service websites, portfolio sites.
Professional Website
For businesses that have outgrown their first website or need something that does more than sit there.
€2,200 - €10,000
2-6 weeks
What You Get
This tier covers booking and scheduling systems, multi-language content, advanced forms, integration with your existing tools, blog with proper SEO structure, Google Business Profile setup, and performance optimization. If your competitors have a better website than you and it is costing you business, this is the level where we fix that.
Typical Projects
Service businesses with online booking, multi-language corporate sites, professional blogs, photographer sites with client areas, restaurants with reservation systems.
E-commerce & Custom Platforms
For businesses with complex needs that off-the-shelf solutions cannot handle.
€10,000 - €25,000+
6-12 weeks
What You Get
Custom API development, payment processing, user accounts and dashboards, inventory management, admin panels, automated email notifications, and advanced analytics. These projects take longer and cost more because they are built from the ground up to do exactly what your business needs. The alternative is forcing your business to fit inside software that was designed for someone else.
Typical Projects
E-commerce stores, SaaS platforms, community platforms, course and membership sites, multi-vendor marketplaces, custom business tools.
Need More Than a Website?
Mobile Apps
One codebase, two platforms. I build cross-platform apps for iOS and Android using React Native, which means you get native performance without paying for two separate development teams. Push notifications, offline functionality, smooth animations, and submission to both app stores included. Three months of post-launch maintenance so nothing breaks while your first users are finding their way around.
SEO & GEO - Search Rankings and AI Visibility
SEO alone is no longer enough in 2026. I combine Google search optimization with GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) so your business is visible in classic search results AND recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI. Technical audit, keyword research, on-page optimization, JSON-LD structured data, llms.txt setup, AI citation engineering, generative engine mention monitoring, and detailed monthly report. Technical work is done directly in the code, not through plugins.
What You Get No Matter Which Tier You Choose
These are not upsells. They are part of every project, from a 450-euro starter site to a 25,000-euro platform build.
How Payment Works
I split payments into three parts: 30% to start, 40% at midpoint, and 30% on delivery. For projects over 10,000 euros, I am open to structuring payments differently if that works better for your cash flow.
The price I quote is the price you pay. If the scope changes during the project, I will discuss the cost impact with you before doing any additional work. No surprise invoices, no "oh by the way" charges at the end.

Frequently Asked Questions About Web Development Pricing
Why is there such a wide price range?
Because a 5-page business showcase and a full e-commerce platform with inventory management are completely different projects. A starter site with a few pages and a contact form takes me a week. A SaaS platform with user accounts, payment processing, and an admin dashboard takes three months. The range gives you a realistic idea of where your project might land. Once we talk specifics, I give you an exact number.
What if my budget is below the minimum?
Let's talk anyway. Sometimes a smaller scope or a phased approach can get you something valuable within your budget. I would rather help you launch something good now and expand it later than watch you go to a template builder and regret it in six months.
Do I own the code after the project?
Yes. Everything I build for you is yours. Full ownership, no strings attached. You can take the code to another developer if you want. You can modify it, extend it, or scrap it entirely. It is your property.
What about ongoing costs after launch?
Hosting typically runs 10 to 50 euros per month depending on what your site needs. If you want ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, content updates, and technical support, packages start at 150 euros per month. But these are optional. Your site will work perfectly fine without a maintenance contract.
