Real 2026 prices for a presentation site, an online shop and custom software in Romania, what pushes the price up, and the running costs nobody mentions.
The short answer
In Romania, quotes for a business website run from a few hundred euros for a template to several thousand for a site built from scratch. Ours are fixed and published: a presentation site from €490 (5 pages, design and copy included) and an online shop from €1,490 (100 products and online payments included). Those are starting points, not limits: everything is built to order, so more pages or products are quoted to your budget. Domain and hosting are running costs on top of the build.
Why quotes vary so much
Ask five people to build "a website for my business" and the prices can run from a few hundred euros to several thousand. Usually they are not quoting the same thing. One puts your logo on a template. Another writes the copy, designs the pages and sets up search. A third has assumed you want an online shop.
The fastest way to compare offers is to make them describe the same scope. Everything below is about what that scope contains.
Our prices
Published on the site, and fixed before work starts:
Presentation site (Portfolio plan): from €490. 5 pages included (more on request), custom design, the copy written for you, a contact form, standard SEO and 30 days of support after launch.
Online shop (E-commerce plan): from €1,490. 100 products included (more on request), catalogue and search, cart and online payments, an admin panel for orders and stock, and 45 days of support.
Custom software or SaaS: quoted after a short discovery, because the scope decides the price. See Product strategy.
"From" means the price for what is listed. If your project needs more, you get the new number in writing before we start, not on the invoice.
What pushes the price up
The number of pages and of different layouts. Ten pages built on one layout cost less than five that each look different.
Writing the content. Someone has to do it; if it is us, it is in the price.
Online payments, user accounts and anything that stores data.
Integrations: invoicing (SmartBill, Oblio), couriers, a CRM, a booking system.
More than one language.
How many products there are and how they get imported.
What brings it down
Knowing what you want before the first call: what the site is for, who it is for, which pages it needs.
Having your photos and logo ready.
Starting with fewer pages and adding more later.
Choosing a presentation site now and a shop when the sales justify it.
Running costs after launch
The build is not the only cost. Budget for:
The domain (.ro or .com), renewed every year.
Hosting, paid monthly or yearly.
Changes and maintenance after the support period, if you want someone else to make them.
For shops: the payment processor's fee on each transaction.
Ask any studio, us included, which of these are in the quote and which are not.
Cheap now, expensive later
A €300 site rebuilt every two years costs €1,200 over eight; a €900 site that lasts the eight costs less. Before choosing on price, check three things: that the domain is registered in your name, that you get the site and its content if you leave, and that it loads fast on a phone, where most of your visitors are.
