Having a homepage built: what does it cost?
You don't need a huge website, just a clean, professional homepage? Here you'll see what a homepage costs for freelancers, small businesses and clubs, from a digital business card to a multi-page homepage, transparent and at a fixed price.
A homepage doesn't have to be expensive, but it does have to make you look good.
“Homepage” is the word most people use for a manageable, trustworthy online presence: a hairdresser, an accountant, a sports club, a café. No online shop, no huge page tree, just a homepage that looks reputable and gets found.
For exactly these smaller projects we show you honest prices here. A good homepage costs less than many think, and more than a website-builder subscription. Where exactly you land depends on scope. You'll know the binding fixed price before we start.
What's in the price of your homepage
Even a small homepage is more than a few pages. These four building blocks are always included in a fair quote, not at an extra charge.
Clean, modern design
A presence that builds trust, even without a huge budget. Cleanly designed, flawless on phone, tablet and desktop.
Copy & structure
On request we phrase your copy, clearly and persuasively. You supply the facts about your business or club, we put them into shape.
Getting found locally
Basic local SEO and a Google Business connection, so customers in your area can find you in the first place.
Tech & legal safety
Fast load time, HTTPS, imprint, privacy policy and cookie notice, GDPR-compliant, so you don't risk a warning notice.
Homepage costs by size
Guide figures for orientation on the German market, not a flat rate. You get your binding fixed price after a short call, matched to the actual scope of your homepage.
| Package | Best for | Guide price | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business-card homepage / one-pager | Freelancers & small businesses who simply want a reputable online presence | from approx. €990–1,500 | 1–2 weeks |

| Homepage with special features | Booking, member area, multilingual setup and the like | individual | by scope |
All prices are net guide figures for orientation. We set the final fixed price after a short call, with no hourly billing and no hidden items.
One-time costs vs. ongoing costs of your homepage
One-time: the build
Design, structure, copy and tech, the fixed price from the table. Paid once, the homepage is yours.
Ongoing: hosting
For a small homepage, around €5–20 per month is usually enough. On request we handle it entirely for you.
Ongoing: domain
Your preferred address (e.g. your-business.de) costs around €10–20 per year, often already included in hosting.
Optional: maintenance & changes
Small updates, new opening hours, a new photo. On request as a low-cost maintenance package, otherwise you only pay when something comes up.
No subscription trap
Unlike a website builder, your homepage doesn't vanish when you cancel a monthly subscription. It's yours, permanently.
Grow instead of rebuild
Starting small? We build the homepage so you can add pages or features later, without starting over.

Build the homepage yourself or have it built, what's worth it?
For a small homepage, a website builder sounds tempting and cheap. Whether it really pays off depends on what you expect from your homepage.
Build it yourself with a builder (from approx. €10–30/month)
Cheap, but you invest many hours, and the result often looks home-made. Fine if the homepage is purely a formality that nobody really looks at.
Have a builder set up by a provider
More convenient, but you stay trapped in a subscription and pay for a template a thousand others also have. Little individuality, but ongoing costs.
Professional homepage from a studio (from approx. €990)
A one-time investment, but a bespoke, reputable presence that's yours, loads fast and gets found locally. No DIY stress, one point of contact.
When the professional pays off
As soon as customers decide whether to call you based on the homepage, a professional presence is worth it. A strong first impression often brings in more than the homepage cost.
How you get your homepage, the simple way
A short call
You tell us about your business or club and what the homepage should show. We clarify how many pages you really need.
A clear fixed price
You get a simple, transparent quote with a fixed price. No hours, no nasty surprises at the end.
Design & build
We design your homepage, write the copy on request and build it cleanly and fast. You approve before it goes live.
Online & easy to maintain
Your homepage goes live. On request we show you how to change small things yourself, or we handle the upkeep.
These factors move the cost of your homepage
Why there's no flat rate, and how you can tell whether your homepage costs closer to €990 or €3,500.
Number of pages
The biggest lever for small homepages. A one-pager business card costs far less than a homepage with a home page, services, about, gallery and contact.
Custom design vs. template
A design tailored to your business takes more effort than an adapted template, but it looks more reputable and unmistakable.
Copy & images
Supply your own copy and photos and the price drops noticeably. If we write copy and source images, that's reflected in the quote.
Findability & SEO
Basic local SEO is always included. Those who actively want to win customers via the homepage (blog, more keywords) invest a little more here.
Special features
Online booking, a member area, newsletter integration or multilingual setup are the items that make a small homepage noticeably pricier, always transparent.

Homepage cost – frequently asked questions
For smaller projects the prices are manageable: a business-card homepage or one-pager starts at approx. €990–1,500, a small business homepage with 3–6 pages sits at approx. €1,500–3,500, a multi-page homepage with a blog and SEO at approx. €3,500–6,000. Special features are quoted separately. You'll know the fixed price before we start.
If the homepage just needs to exist so that something is there, a builder may be enough. But as soon as customers decide whether to call or book you based on the homepage, a professional presence almost always pays off: it looks more reputable, loads faster, gets found locally, and is yours rather than trapped in a subscription.
A professional single-page business-card homepage (introduction, services, contact, directions) starts at approx. €990–1,500 with us. That's ideal for freelancers, small businesses or clubs who want a reputable online presence without needing a large website yet.
Only hosting (approx. €5–20 per month for a small homepage) and a domain (approx. €10–20 per year) are mandatory. Optionally, a low-cost maintenance package comes on top if we handle small changes for you. There's no subscription trap like with a builder, the homepage is yours.
Watch for two things: first, providers who bill by the hour instead of a fixed price, where the invoice can rise. Second, builder subscriptions where key features are only unlocked on the pricier plan. With us, everything is in the fixed price and it's clear up front what's included.
Yes. We build your homepage so it can grow with you. You can start small, for example with a one-pager, and later add service pages, a blog or features, without having to rebuild everything. That keeps the initial cost low.
On request, yes. We set your homepage up so you can change copy, opening hours or images yourself, and show you how. If you'd rather hand it off, we handle the upkeep as part of a low-cost maintenance package.
A small homepage is often online within one to two weeks, a multi-page homepage within two to four weeks. The pace mainly depends on how quickly your content (copy, logo, photos) and approvals arrive. We agree the date together up front.
