“How much does a website cost?” is like asking “how much does a house cost” — it depends entirely on what you need. Let’s look at realistic numbers for the Cyprus market.
What affects the price
- Number of pages. A landing page costs less than a full site with 8-10 pages.
- Custom functionality. Booking forms, admin panels or an eshop significantly increase the cost compared to a static presentation.
- Content & photography. If you need help with copy or photography, that’s added separately.
- Monthly maintenance. A website without maintenance/SEO gradually “fades” from Google over time.
Realistic price ranges in Cyprus
A simple, professional presentation website typically starts around €500-800 one-time. For something more complex (custom functionality, admin panel), the price rises accordingly. Be wary of very low prices (under €200-300) — they usually mean an off-the-shelf template with no SEO foundation, which will need rebuilding in 1-2 years.
The cost most people forget
The one-time build is only half the story. A website without monthly care (updates, SEO, Google Business Profile) gradually loses its Google ranking — whatever you gained on day one, you lose within 12-18 months without follow-through.
How to avoid hidden fees
Ask for a written, itemized quote before you start — what the one-time cost includes, what the monthly cost includes, and what extra changes will cost. A serious partnership always starts with clear numbers.
