How Much Does a Website Cost in Romania in 2026?

A website in Romania in 2026 costs anywhere from a few hundred euros for a basic template setup to several thousand for a custom-designed business site, and well above that for a store or a web application. Romanian agencies publishing their own price guides put a custom business site at roughly €2,500–8,000 before VAT, and template-based sites at roughly €800–2,000. The number depends on page count, how much is designed from scratch, and what the site has to do.

Those market figures come from agency blogs, not an independent survey, so treat them as orientation rather than a quote. What follows explains where the price comes from, so you can read any offer you receive.

What does a website cost in Romania, by type?

Think in four bands. The first is a one-page site, useful for a freelancer or a new business that only needs to exist online. The second is a landing page built around a single offer or campaign. The third is a presentation website: services, work, about, contact, typically five to eight pages. The fourth is everything with logic behind it: online stores, booking flows, client portals.

On the projects we build, our current prices start at €350 for a starter page, €750 for a landing page, €1,750 for a presentation website and €4,000 for an online store or custom web platform. These are "from" prices, with a −50% offer running until 31 January 2027, and the full breakdown of what each tier includes is on the pricing page. A scope you describe in detail will give a firmer number than any range.

Why do quotes differ so much between agencies?

Because they are often selling different things under the same word. A €900 site is usually a purchased theme with your logo and texts dropped in. A €5,000 site is usually designed around your business, written in code instead of assembled in a plugin stack, and tested for speed and accessibility. Both are legitimate; they just solve different problems. If you are weighing the two approaches, our comparison of custom development and page builders explains the trade-offs in detail.

The second reason is who does the work. A freelancer working alone has lower overhead than a studio with a designer, a developer and a project manager, and that shows up in the price. Neither is automatically better. Ask who will actually build your site and who you can call after launch.

What actually moves the price?

Five things do most of the work. Number of unique pages: each one needs layout, copy and testing. Design depth: a template adaptation is quick, original design and illustration take weeks. Functionality: forms are cheap, bookings, payments, user accounts and integrations are not. Content: if you have no texts or photos, someone has to produce them. Languages: a Romanian and English site is not twice the price, but it is more than one language, because every page is written, reviewed and tested twice.

A sixth factor is easy to forget: the state of your brand. A site built on an existing identity is faster than one that has to invent the logo, colours and tone as it goes. This is why our starter tier bundles a simple logo and palette with the page.

What costs money after the site is live?

The launch invoice is not the whole bill. Plan for a domain (international price guides put a typical domain at roughly $10–35 a year), hosting, and business email. Hosting guides cite roughly $40–250 a year for shared or managed plans, and US-based sources often combine domain and hosting at $150–300 a year, though Romanian and EU prices differ, so check local providers.

Then there is maintenance: updates, backups, security fixes, small content changes. Published estimates are wide, with GoDaddy citing $600–6,000 a year for small to medium business sites, which says more about how different sites are than about any real average. For a custom-coded site with no plugin stack, the maintenance surface is smaller. Our presentation websites and above include 30 days of post-launch support; after that, work is either retained monthly or billed per request.

How do you avoid overpaying or underbuying?

Start from the job the site has to do, not the page count. If the job is "look credible when someone googles us", a presentation website is enough. If it is "test one offer with ads", a landing page is. If you are not sure you have a business model yet, the cheapest honest option is a single page that collects enquiries.

Ask every agency the same five questions: what is included, what is not, who owns the code and the design files, how many revision rounds there are, and what happens after launch. Quotes that cannot answer these are not comparable, however low the number. Be wary of both extremes: a price far below the market usually removes design or testing, and a price far above it should come with something you can point to.

Finally, compare the price with what a client is worth to you. If one new client covers a large share of the site's cost, the debate is about quality, not about shaving a few hundred euros.
