What does a website cost in the Netherlands in 2026?
A professional website in the Netherlands in 2026 typically costs between €1,500 and €4,000 for a freelancer or small business. A simple one-pager can be cheaper; an extensive site with custom work, multiple languages or integrations costs more. The biggest price driver isn’t the number of pages, but the complexity and the amount of custom work.
Here’s an honest overview so you know where your money goes.
Prices by website type
| Type | Estimate | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| One-pager / landing page | €750 – €1,500 | Freelancer, one service, fast online |
| Professional business site | €1,500 – €4,000 | Small business, multiple services |
| Custom site / integrations | €4,000 – €10,000+ | Webshop, portal, integrations |
Note: these are estimates. A serious partner only gives a price after discussing your goals.
What drives the price?
- Design: a template is cheaper; a unique design tailored to your brand costs more.
- Pages and content: who provides the copy and photos — you or the builder?
- Functionality: a contact form is standard; a booking system, webshop or integration with your admin is custom work.
- Multiple languages: more languages means more content and engineering.
- SEO and speed: a findable, fast site requires skilled building — which saves on ad spend later.
One-time versus ongoing
Besides build costs, there are recurring costs:
- Hosting: often €5 – €25 per month.
- Domain name: ~€10 – €15 per year.
- Maintenance and updates: optional, but wise for security and performance.
Factor these into your budget — a cheap site that isn’t maintained often costs more later.
Cheap isn’t always good value
A website is an investment that should bring in customers. Saving a few hundred euros on the build makes little sense if the site is slow, can’t be found, or doesn’t turn visitors into customers. So don’t look only at the price, but at what the site delivers.
What to watch for in a quote
- Is it clear what is and isn’t included?
- Who provides copy, imagery and maintenance?
- Is the site built fast, mobile and findable (SEO)?
- Do you own the site and the domain name?
- What happens after launch — is there support?
Conclusion
For a professional small-business website in 2026, expect €1,500 – €4,000, plus limited ongoing costs. The price matters less than the value: a fast, findable site that converts visitors into customers pays for itself.
