A professional website in Austria costs between 990 € and 25,000 € in 2026, depending on scope. A one-pager for founders and freelancers starts at 990 €, a company website for SMBs runs from 2,490 € to 4,990 €, and custom projects with special features start at 9,990 €. Online shops begin at around 5,000 € depending on catalogue size. Traditional Viennese agencies often charge 5,000 € to 15,000 € for company websites, with large projects reaching 25,000 € to 50,000 €. Add recurring costs: a domain from about 15 € per year, hosting from around 10 € per month and optional maintenance from 149 € per month. The price differences come down to four factors: design individuality, functionality, the amount of content provided and search engine optimization. This guide shows realistic price ranges per website type, three concrete example scenarios and the criteria that separate fair offers from padded ones.
What Does a Website Cost? Prices by Website Type
The following ranges are based on our own price list and on market rates of Austrian agencies (as of September 2026). You can find the full breakdown on our web design pricing page.
- One-pager / landing page: 990 € to 2,000 €. One page, a clear message, a contact option. Ideal for founders, freelancers and local businesses.
- Company website (5 to 10 pages): 2,490 € to 4,990 €. Services, team, references, contact, blog. The SMB standard.
- Custom website with special features: from 9,990 €. Booking systems, client portals, multiple languages, integrations.
- Online shop: from around 5,000 €, considerably more depending on catalogue and payment systems.
- Agency market rates in Vienna: company websites are often quoted at 5,000 € to 15,000 €, corporate projects reach 25,000 € to 50,000 €.
What Drives the Price?
Two five-page websites can cost 2,500 € or 12,000 €. The difference almost always comes down to these six factors:
- Design: an adapted template or a fully custom design built on your brand. Custom design often accounts for 30 to 40 percent of the project price.
- Functionality: contact form and map are standard. Booking systems, member areas or configurators are real development work.
- Content: do you deliver finished copy and photos, or does the agency handle text, imagery and structure? Professional content costs money but brings inquiries.
- Search engine optimization: a website without SEO foundations is a shop window without a street. Clean tech, loading speed and keyword structure belong in every serious offer.
- Number of pages and languages: each additional language adds roughly 20 to 30 percent for translation, upkeep and SEO.
- Legal: GDPR-compliant embeds, cookie management and legal notices must be right in Austria, otherwise warnings loom.

Is Web Design More Expensive in Vienna Than Elsewhere in Austria?
Viennese agencies charge hourly rates of about 90 € to 150 €, above the Austrian average of 70 € to 120 €. In return, the pool of specialized providers is larger. For most projects, though, location matters less than results: a website is built just as well remotely as next door. Our Web Design Vienna page shows how to find the right provider.
Separate One-Off and Running Costs
The project price is only half the truth. Budget for these recurring items:
- Domain: 15 € to 40 € per year, depending on the extension.
- Hosting: 10 € to 50 € per month for solid performance with an SSL certificate.
- Maintenance and updates: from 149 € per month if security, backups and small changes should be covered. Optional but recommended.
- Content upkeep: new references, blog posts and updates. Either internal time or a care package.
Beware of website builders advertising 0 €: after subscription fees of 20 € to 50 € per month, paid templates and your own working time, total costs after three years often exceed a professionally built website without matching its quality.
How to Compare Offers: the Checklist
When you have a website created, compare offers on these points:
- Is search engine optimization (tech, speed, structure) explicitly included?
- Who owns the website, domain and content after the project? Insist on full ownership.
- Are copy and images included, or do they appear later as extra costs?
- Is there a fixed price with a defined scope instead of open hourly billing?
- Which running costs start from month one?
