How much does a website cost in 2026? Between 3,000 and 15,000 euros for a professional showcase website on Webflow, hosting and maintenance not included. You might have expected a single number. There isn't one, and that's actually good news: it means the price genuinely follows your project, not the other way around.
At Mazette.co, we hear this question at pretty much every first meeting. And the honest answer fits in one sentence: the price of a website depends on what you ask it to do, not on how big it looks. A 5-page site with a strong identity, polished animations and a well-designed conversion funnel can cost more than a generic 15-page site. Complexity rarely hides where you'd expect it.
Three quotes for the same brief, three prices that sometimes have nothing in common. It's not a scam, it's that each agency prices a different scope under the same label "showcase website".
The variables that really move the price of a website:
A low-cost agency charging 800 euros generally doesn't price in any of these variables beyond the bare minimum. A premium agency charging 8,000 euros has thought through all of them upfront. The price alone tells you nothing until you open up the details.
Here's how we actually break down a showcase website budget at Mazette.co, regardless of the final number quoted.
Budget between 3,000 and 6,000 euros. We're talking a homepage, a services page, an about page, a contact page. Custom design but no functional complexity: no blog, no filtering, no advanced CMS logic. This is the ideal format for launching a business, a freelancer, or a small company wanting a credible digital business card that can be deployed quickly.
Budget between 6,000 and 12,000 euros. This is the most common range for an established SME: detailed service pages, a blog with a proper SEO architecture, industry or sector pages, multiple forms, sometimes a first layer of automation (sending leads to a CRM via Zapier or Make).
Budget between 12,000 and 20,000 euros, sometimes more depending on content volume and integrations. This is where you enter complex CMS logic, multilingual setups with Weglot, custom interactive components, and sometimes product design elements for demos or simulators. This is the territory where the difference between decent execution and excellent execution shows the most.
| Project type | Price range | Average timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Simple showcase website (3-5 pages) | 3,000 to 6,000 euros | 3 to 5 weeks |
| Structured showcase website (6-15 pages) | 6,000 to 12,000 euros | 6 to 10 weeks |
| Advanced site / content platform | 12,000 to 20,000 euros + | 10 to 16 weeks |
No, the price difference doesn't come from the CMS itself but from the development and maintenance time it implies behind the scenes. This is a common confusion: people compare license prices when they should be comparing total cost over three years.
A poorly maintained WordPress site often ends up costing more in the long run: premium plugins to renew, security vulnerabilities to fix, shared hosting that quickly hits its limits, and a developer to call back for the smallest structural change. Webflow bundles hosting, security and a good chunk of performance into its subscription, which makes total cost far more predictable.
If you're starting from an existing WordPress site and considering switching platforms, the migration budget question looks different: you're not building from scratch, you're transferring an existing site while improving it. Our dedicated page on migrating to Webflow from WordPress details exactly what this involves, budget included.
That doesn't mean it's free: a Webflow subscription (hosting + CMS) typically runs between 20 and 45 euros a month depending on the plan. But this cost is stable, predictable, and doesn't spike when traffic surges are well managed.
A delivered website is not a finished website. This is the point many quotes leave out, intentionally or not.
Budget between 100 and 400 euros a month for proper maintenance: content updates, minor fixes, performance monitoring, and staying on top of new Webflow features. A site left unattended for a year quietly accumulates technical debt: broken links, outdated meta tags, content that no longer reflects your actual offer.
In 2026, a site that doesn't work on its visibility in traditional search engines and in generative AI answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) loses ground every month that goes by. Our article on Webflow SEO best practices details the technical foundations to lay from the design stage. And if you want to understand how your brand now shows up in AI answers, our analysis of Webflow AEO Analytics opening up to Claude and Gemini is worth reading.
A serious SEO/AEO budget, as ongoing support, generally falls between 400 and 1,500 euros a month depending on how competitive your industry is. It's an investment, not an expense: a well-positioned site generates leads without additional ad spend.
Because it's never the same site. A price difference almost always hides a difference in method, experience and guarantee.
An 800 euro site is generally a lightly tweaked template, with no upfront strategic audit, no proper SEO structure, no user testing phase, and often no real availability after delivery. That's not necessarily a bad choice for a business launching with zero budget. But it's not comparable to full support.
At Mazette.co, we always start in Figma before moving to Webflow: the design is validated, tested and approved before a single line of structure is built in Webflow. This method drastically limits costly back-and-forth during development. This is detailed in our method and our approach to product design.
A reliable quote is never based on page count alone. It's based on a precise brief: your business goals, your audience, your existing content, and the integrations you need.
If you're already working with mockups or want to create some, our Figma web agency page explains how we connect design and development to avoid budget surprises mid-project.
At an equal budget, expectations and reference points vary depending on local markets. An agency working in Paris doesn't necessarily have the same price standards as an agency in a smaller region, without quality being affected. Mazette.co supports clients across France with the same method, regardless of where the project starts geographically.

Over 120 companies have already stepped out of the shadows with us.
The average price of a professional showcase website on Webflow ranges between 3,000 and 15,000 euros in 2026, excluding hosting and maintenance. This amount varies depending on the number of pages, the level of design customization, and the integrations required. A simple 3 to 5 page site typically costs between 3,000 and 6,000 euros, while a project with a blog and automations often exceeds 8,000 euros.
A 500 euro WordPress template funds neither an SEO strategy, nor a tested custom design, nor post-launch support. The higher price of a professional Webflow site reflects a discovery phase, a technical architecture built for visibility, and predictable maintenance included in a stable monthly subscription. The total cost over three years is often lower despite a larger upfront investment.
It depends entirely on the quote, and this is actually one of the main reasons prices vary so much between agencies. Some invoices only cover technical integration, leaving content writing to the client. Others build content strategy and SEO copywriting into the initial package, which justifies a higher rate but avoids a hidden budget discovered after the fact.
