Free Website Cost Calculator — Calculate Your Price in 60 Seconds

"How much does a website cost?" — It's the question we hear most often. From starting freelancers, from business owners with outdated websites, and from people going online for the first time. And honestly? The answer is almost always: "it depends." Not very satisfying. That's why we built a tool that actually gives you a straight answer.

Why we built this calculator

We've experienced it for years. Entrepreneurs calling us and asking: "What does it cost?" We completely understand that question. You don't want to go through three meetings, fill out a brief, and wait two weeks for a PDF — only to discover it's three times your budget.

The problem is that no two websites are the same. A landing page for a personal trainer is completely different from an e-commerce store with 500 products. But that doesn't mean we can't give you direction. That's why we built the Website Cost Calculator: a free, interactive tool that gives you a realistic price estimate in 5 simple steps.

How does the calculator work?

The calculator guides you through 5 steps covering the most important choices. At each step, you see the price update live — so you understand exactly what each choice costs.

After step 5, you get a complete overview: the estimated total price, a per-item breakdown, a comparison with agency rates, and a shareable link — handy for discussing with your business partner.

What does a website cost in 2026?

Let's be honest: website prices vary enormously. Someone on Fiverr will build your site for €200, a large agency charges €15,000. But what are realistic prices when you want quality without throwing money away? Here are the Dutch market averages in 2026:

The 5 factors that determine your website's price

1. Website type

A landing page is simple: one page, one goal. A webshop is complex: product management, cart, payments, shipping, inventory. More complexity = more development hours = higher price.

2. Number of pages

Every extra page means: extra design, extra content, extra testing. Our calculator uses multipliers: 6-10 pages costs ×1.4 of the base price, 20+ pages costs ×2.5.

3. Design level

• Template: proven design, quick delivery, lowest cost.
• Custom: unique design for your brand. Higher investment, but you stand out.
• Premium: high-end design with animations and wow-factor.

4. Features

This is where the price can climb fastest — and where you can save the most. The calculator offers 12 features you can toggle on/off, from a €75 contact form to €1,500 for 3D elements.

5. Timeline

• Standard (4-6 weeks): no surcharge
• Accelerated (2-3 weeks): +20%
• Express (1-2 weeks): +45%

Freelancer vs. agency: the honest difference

On average, you save 40-65% by choosing a freelancer over an agency. Not because freelancers are cheaper — but because they don't charge you for someone else's office rent. The calculator automatically shows your savings compared to agency rates.

7 smart ways to save on your website

1. Start small. Begin with essentials: 5 pages, contact form, good SEO. Scale later.
2. Choose a template if visual design isn't your unique selling point.
3. Provide your own content. Texts, photos, logos — the more you supply, the fewer hours needed.
4. Bundle features. A package is almost always more affordable. Check our packages page.
5. Plan ahead. Standard timeline = no rush fee. That saves 20-45%.
6. Choose a freelancer. Pay for craftsmanship, not overhead.
7. Request a sample design. At WebWits you get a free sample design — so you know exactly what you'll get before investing.
