What a website build costs, and what drives the price

A website build here starts at 900 euros, and scope, price and payment terms are agreed in writing before work starts.

Sites in the region are also offered for a few hundred euros, and that is a real price for a real product: a template with the business's text in it. The price climbs when the site has to do something.

Three things move it most. Booking: taking payment means checkout, refunds and failed charges, while a handoff to WhatsApp, as on Quadomania, removes all three. Content: a first-time customer's questions have to be answered on the page, and writing those answers took longer than the booking form did. Data: a map like iLokal has listings that must stay accurate after launch, and a site with five fixed tour pages does not.

The define step turns those questions into a scope and a price. Design produces the system the pages are built from. Build ships and wires it, and run covers launch and reporting.

The published prices and how scope moves them are in What the work costs, and the Montenegrin market version is What a website costs to build in Montenegro.
