How much does a WordPress website cost in 2026?
How much does a WordPress website cost? Briefly: a professionally built WordPress site from our studio costs from €500 for a business website and from €800 for a larger corporate site; a WooCommerce store from €1,000. Now the longer answer, because a "WordPress site" can mean five completely different things, and that's where pricing misunderstandings begin.
All listed prices exclude VAT. The final scope and amount are stated in the quote.
Five levels of "a WordPress site" and honest prices
| Level | What it actually is | Indicative price |
|---|---|---|
| Ready theme, minimal changes | A template with your logo and text | from €100 |
| Customised theme | A purchased theme seriously reworked | from €300 |
| Custom design | A unique design on a WP base | from €500 |
| Corporate site | More pages, multilingual, blog | from €800 |
| WooCommerce store | A store with payments and couriers | from €1,000 |
Our offer starts at the "custom design" level, adapted to your budget, because a site sharing its template with a hundred others builds no brand. The complete pricing is here.
The hidden WordPress costs nobody mentions
- Premium theme and plugins: from €50 a year if the site uses paid components.
- Maintenance: WordPress without regular updates slowly becomes sluggish and vulnerable; budget from €50 a month or take the job on yourself.
- Hosting: from €5 a month for decent WP hosting.
When WordPress is the right choice, and when it isn't
WordPress is a good candidate when you regularly edit content and its existing features suit the project. It can support good performance, an SEO foundation and custom plugins. For complex business workflows or integrations, compare the proposed WordPress implementation with a Next.js build. Decide based on scope, maintenance and budget; see WordPress vs Next.js for the tradeoffs.
Example quote request: “We need a homepage, three service pages, an about page and contact details in Serbian and English. We provide text and photos. We need a contact form and want to edit services ourselves. Please separate the build, translation, licences and maintenance in your quote.” This is an illustrative brief, not a client project or a fixed-price offer.
What our WordPress project looks like
Custom design (not a bought theme), optimised loading, an SEO structure from day one, training for self-editing and handover of all accounts. Example: the MN89 corporate site. The client edits careers pages daily, on their own. For an exact figure, send your scope through the quote questionnaire or contact form. The questionnaire does not calculate a price on screen; we return a quote within 24h. See the process on our WordPress development page.
Frequently asked questions.
Can I build a WordPress site myself for free?
Yes. WordPress software is free, and free themes and plugins are available. A public site usually needs a domain and hosting; extra costs depend on the components and support you choose. The result depends on your time, skills and testing, not simply on who builds it.
How long does a WordPress site take?
A business website with content ready: 2–3 weeks. A corporate site with more pages: 3–4 weeks. A WooCommerce store: 4–6 weeks.
Will I be able to edit content myself?
Yes, that's WordPress's greatest strength. Handover includes training, so you change texts, images and posts without a developer.
