The short answer
How much a professional website costs in Portugal depends on three things: how many pages your business needs, in how many languages, and what the site has to do. With us, a complete website costs between €390 and €3,490, and every price is on our prices page. Prices exclude VAT.
For most small businesses, the answer is one of the two simplest types: one page to be found, or up to six to show services and prices and take bookings.
What makes a website "professional"
Before comparing prices, check that the quote includes:
- A domain in your company's name, with your NIF.
- A security certificate (SSL).
- A mobile version designed from the start.
- Speed, even on mobile data.
- Basic SEO: copy written for what customers search.
- Direct contact: a form, WhatsApp and call.
- Legal pages: privacy and cookies (GDPR) and the electronic complaints book.
- A link to your Google Business Profile.
In a survey we carried out of 602 Algarve businesses, 393 (65%) had no website of their own. A site with these eight points already puts you ahead of most.
Professional website prices by type of site
If you searched for a professional website price, this is the table you're after.
| Type of site | Pages | Timing | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business card | 1 page | 5 days | €390 |
| Business | up to 6 pages | 7 days | €790 |
| Extended | up to 15 pages and 1 extra language | 14 days | €1,490 |
| Large | up to 50 pages | up to 3 weeks | €3,490 |
Timings start once we have your materials. All include a mobile version, WhatsApp and call, basic SEO, privacy and cookies, a domain in your name and 12 months of hosting. On the Large site, each additional block of 10 pages costs €390. Prices exclude VAT.
What pushes the price up
What it costs to build a website also depends on these choices:
- More languages. In the Algarve, English usually pays off. An extra language costs €60 on the Business card site and €150 on the Business site.
- An online shop, with up to 30 products: €590.
- A booking system connected to the site: €120.
- Photos and copy. Photo session: €190. Extra copy or page for Google: €90.
- A logo, if you don't have one yet: €190.
- Launch within 72 hours, with a surcharge shown on the prices page.
None is compulsory: you can add them later.
One-off payment or subscription
There are two ways to pay for your website.
One-off payment. You pay 50% when you order and 50% at launch. From the Business site upwards, you can split the cost into 3 interest-free instalments. After the first year, you only pay for the hosting or maintenance you choose.
Monthly website. Nothing up front: the Business card site costs €49/month and the Business site €89/month, with a 12-month minimum. At the end of that period, you can keep the site for €99.
Paying once works out cheaper in the medium term. The subscription suits businesses that are just opening and need the money for other things.
Costs after launch
The first year of hosting is already included. From year two, you choose one of three routes:
- Hosting only: €119/year, with technical updates; changes requested separately.
- Base: €29/month, with up to half an hour of changes a month.
- Plus: €49/month, with up to an hour of changes a month.
Sites with more than 6 pages have their own prices. To be honest: a website works with hosting only. Maintenance pays off if you change prices or hours often.
How website development works, from enquiry to launch
Our website development always follows the same four steps:
- Enquiry. We talk about your business and you get a proposal with the type of site and the price.
- Materials. You send your logo, photos, services and prices.
- Design and copy. We build the site, write the copy and show you the version to approve.
- Launch. We connect the domain, your Google Business Profile and WhatsApp, and the site goes live.
For small sites, it takes 5 to 7 days once we have the materials. What delays it most is, almost always, copy and photos not yet sent.
Agency, freelancer or platform?
A platform like Wix is cheaper at first, but the work is on your side. A freelancer can be a good choice, if the domain and logins are in your name. An agency handles the whole professional website from start to finish and is still reachable afterwards.
If you want to compare the three options with market figures, we explain how much a website costs in Portugal in a separate guide.
