"How much does a website cost?" is the question we hear most at Foivi AI. The honest answer is "it depends" - but that is no excuse for a vague quote. This guide breaks the price into plain parts, gives you real figures in euro, and shows exactly where your money goes so you can decide with confidence.
The five things that set the price
Two businesses in the same trade can pay very different amounts for their site. The figure is shaped by five factors:
- Number of pages. A 5-page presence (Home, Services, About, Blog, Contact) costs less than a 15-20 page site.
- Design. A polished ready-made layout is cheaper than a fully custom design built from scratch for your brand.
- Features. Forms, online bookings, multiple languages, CRM links or an AI chatbot all add value - and cost.
- E-shop or not. A store with products, a cart and payments is a noticeably bigger build than an information site.
- SEO. Basic SEO (titles, speed, structure) should be standard. A deeper keyword and content strategy is a separate investment.
2026 price ranges
Here are the real prices we work with at Foivi AI. They are transparent and quoted up front, so you know the number before we start. All prices are in euro, for clients in Greece and Australia alike.
| Solution | From (EUR) | From (EUR) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business website | EUR 370 | €370 | Sole traders, small businesses |
| Website + AI chatbot | EUR 490 | €370+ | 24/7 automated customer service |
| E-shop (standard) | EUR 590 | €990 | Selling products online |
| E-shop Pro | EUR 990 | €990+ | Larger catalogues, filters, multiple payments |
| All-in-one package | EUR 1,390 | - | Site + e-shop + chatbot bundled, discounted |
A serious professional presence starts at EUR 370 (around €370). If you want your site to answer customers even at 11pm, the package with a chatbot at EUR 490 is one of the highest-return upgrades you can make.
What is actually included
A low price means nothing if you do not know what you are getting. Every website we deliver includes:
- A modern design that adapts to mobile, tablet and desktop.
- Basic SEO so Google can find you - proper titles, fast load times, clean structure.
- A contact form and links to your channels (phone, email, social).
- An SSL security certificate (the padlock in the browser).
- Training so you can make small edits yourself.
The hidden costs to plan for
The build is one side of the ledger. To keep your site live, there are two small recurring costs that many providers forget to mention:
- Domain (your name, e.g. yourbusiness.com.au): typically EUR 10-15 (about €10-25) per year.
- Hosting: from roughly EUR 5 per month, depending on traffic.
On top of those, an AI chatbot is a EUR 39 per month subscription, while social media management starts at EUR 149 per month, with a Pro tier at EUR 249. These are optional - not every business needs them on day one. Our rule is simple: no cost shows up as a surprise after handover.
When an e-shop is worth it - and when it is not
Not everyone needs an online store. If you sell physical products and want to take orders online, an e-shop from EUR 590 pays for itself quickly. If you sell services - lawyer, doctor, consultant, tradesperson - a strong presentation site with a form or booking button is usually enough, perhaps paired with an AI chatbot that answers questions and books appointments. Do not pay for an e-shop if you have nothing to put in a cart.
So what is it really worth?
The right question is not "how cheap" but "how effective". A EUR 370 site that brings two new clients a month has already paid for itself. A free or rushed site that fails to build trust quietly costs you customers every day. Choose based on what it earns you, not only on what it costs.
