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.
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 excellent when you edit content yourself, when budget is tight and when the site is needed fast. It's not the best pick when maximum speed and Google rankings in a competitive niche are decisive, or when custom features are planned. In those cases Next.js pays off (we wrote the detailed comparison in WordPress vs Next.js).
What our WordPress project looks like
Custom design (not a bought theme), speed Google rewards, 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 for your project: the calculator or an inquiry. A quote within 24h, with a guaranteed deadline.
Frequently asked questions.
Can I build a WordPress site myself for free?
You can. WordPress is free software. Realistically you'll pay for hosting, a theme and plenty of your own time, and the result rarely looks or ranks like professional work. Fine for testing an idea; for the business you live from, the math flips quickly.
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.
