How much does a business website cost in 2026?
Short answer: At Kodemagisk, a website starts from 5,000 kr. The final price depends on what needs to be built, for example the number of pages, design, content management system, languages and features such as booking or an online store. You get a fixed price before we start.
Below you can see what affects the price, what should always be included and how to get quotes that are easy to compare.
What affects the price of a website?
| What | Why it affects the price |
|---|---|
| Number of pages and content | More pages mean more design, copy and testing. |
| Design | A ready-made template is quicker to set up than a design made for your brand. |
| Content management (CMS) | If you want to update text and images yourself, the system has to be set up and tailored. |
| Languages | Every extra language adds its own pages, translations and SEO setup. |
| Features | Booking, online stores, logins and integrations require development and testing. |
| SEO and content | Basic SEO should always be included. Keyword work and new content come on top. |
The table explains why two quotes for “a website” can have very different prices. Always ask for a list of what is included.
What should always be included
Whatever the price, a professional business website should have the following in place:
- Works well on mobile.
- HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate.
- Fast loading times.
- Basic SEO: titles, descriptions, a sitemap and structured data.
- A simple way to get in touch, such as a contact form.
- The ability to update the content yourself.
- Accessibility, so everyone can use the site.
With us, this is included in all the websites we build for businesses. The price is mainly driven by how much needs to be built.
One-off price and running costs
On top of the website itself, there are usually costs for a domain, hosting and possibly maintenance. Always ask what is a one-off cost and what is paid monthly or yearly, so you compare quotes correctly.
How to get quotes that are easy to compare
- Describe what the website should do for the business, not just how many pages it should have.
- Say which features you need, for example booking, an online store or multiple languages.
- Ask what is included and what will cost extra later.
- Ask whether you can update the content yourself, and who owns the website and the domain.
