The question of what a website costs has one answer on the surface and another underneath. On the surface it is the one-time price of getting the site made. Underneath it is what the site costs to own for three to five years: hosting, updates, fixes, security and the day it needs to do more than show text. The prices here are typical market ranges in Denmark, updated for 2026.

What does a website cost at an agency?

Typical market ranges at Danish agencies in 2026.

Type of website	Typical price	What you typically get
One-page site	DKK 7,000–15,000	One long page, contact form, basic SEO
Standard website	DKK 15,000–40,000	Several subpages, blog, editable content
Advanced website	DKK 30,000–80,000	Booking, multiple languages, integrations, bespoke design
Custom-built solution	DKK 50,000–150,000+	Built from scratch for your business, login, your own flows

What makes a website more expensive?

The number of unique page types. Ten pages on one layout are cheaper than five pages that all look different.
Design from scratch rather than an adapted theme, especially if a logo and visual identity are needed too.
Features beyond text: booking, login, payments, file upload or a calculator.
Integrations with e-conomic, Dinero, MobilePay, a CRM or a booking system.
Multiple languages, where every page and every form exists in two versions.
Content. If the agency writes copy, takes photos or migrates hundreds of old pages, the price goes up.

Freelancer, agency or custom-built: which should you choose?

The three routes compared on what matters after launch.

	Freelancer	Agency on a template	Custom-built
Starting price	Often the lowest	Low to medium	Highest on the market
Design	Depends on the person	Adapted theme	Made for your brand
Speed and security	Varies	Depends on plugins	No third-party plugins
If the person leaves	The project stalls	Someone else takes over	Someone else takes over
Can grow into a web app	Rarely	With effort	Yes

There is no single right answer. If you only need a digital business card, a freelancer or a simple template is often enough. If the website is your main sales channel, or it needs to take bookings and talk to your accounting system, building it properly from the start pays off. We cover the technical side of the choice in Next.js vs WordPress, and the choice of supplier in freelancer vs agency.

What does it cost to keep a website running?

Running costs on the Danish market.

Item	Typical price	Comment
.dk domain	DKK 50–150 per year	Should be registered in your own name
Hosting	DKK 500–3,000 per year	Cheap hosting is often slow hosting
Basic maintenance	DKK 200–600 per month	Updates and backups
Professional agreement	DKK 1,500–3,000 per month	Monitoring, support, small changes

Why a cheap template can end up costing more

Cheap template

Plugins and theme need constant updates, or security holes appear
Paid plugins each carry their own yearly licence
Slow pages cost Google rankings and mobile customers
New needs are solved with one more plugin, until the site has to be rebuilt

Built from scratch

No third-party plugins that break on an update
Fast pages, because there is only the code you use
Can be extended with login, booking or payments without a new platform
You own the code and can take it with you

The same budget in year one. A very different bill by year three.

The most expensive website is the one that has to be rebuilt after two years. It happens more often than you would think, because a template is made for everyone and therefore fits nobody particularly well. If you already have a site that has become slow or hard to change, see how we approach a website redesign.

Written fixed-price proposal

We build websites from scratch in Next.js at a fixed price. Small is DKK 18,000 plus DKK 600 a month (EUR 2,500 + EUR 85), Medium DKK 36,000 plus DKK 900 and Large DKK 54,000 plus DKK 1,200. The packages have 12, 24 and 36 features and 1, 2 and 3 integrations, such as booking, e-conomic or MobilePay. The monthly price covers hosting, maintenance and updates, support, SSL and backups, so you do not need a separate maintenance agreement. See what is included under websites.

For the cleaning company Vaskekonerne, the website became the first link in a larger circuit: eight solutions that fit together, from the website and booking to operations. That is the kind of growth a site built from scratch can handle without starting over.

Questions about website pricing

What does a simple website cost?

A one-page website with text, images and a contact form typically costs DKK 7,000–15,000 at a Danish agency. A standard site with several subpages often lands at DKK 15,000–40,000. The price depends on how much design is done from scratch and whether you supply the copy and images yourself. Remember to add domain, hosting and maintenance.

What does a website cost per month?

A .dk domain typically costs DKK 50–150 a year and hosting DKK 500–3,000 a year. A maintenance agreement runs at DKK 200–600 a month for the basics and DKK 1,500–3,000 a month for a professional agreement. With us, hosting, maintenance, updates, support, SSL and backups sit in one monthly price from DKK 600.

Is a freelancer cheaper than an agency?

Often on the starting price, yes. But a freelancer is one person, so holidays, illness and other clients’ deadlines hit your project directly. An agency has more hands and usually both design and development in-house. Compare the total price over a few years, and who answers when something breaks. We have written a full guide to that choice.

Why don’t you build on WordPress?

Because we build everything from scratch in React and Next.js, so you do not depend on plugins, themes and licences that need updating every month. That gives faster pages, fewer security holes and a codebase that can grow into a web app when you need it. WordPress can be fine for a plain blog, but it is not what we deliver.

What is included in your website packages?

Small is DKK 18,000 plus DKK 600 a month with 12 features and 1 integration. Medium is DKK 36,000 plus DKK 900 a month with 24 features and 2 integrations. Large is DKK 54,000 plus DKK 1,200 a month with 36 features and 3 integrations. The monthly price covers hosting, maintenance, updates, support, security and backups.

Who owns the website when it is finished?

You do. The code and the content are yours, and you can cancel the monthly plan with 30 days’ notice and take the site to another provider. If you cancel within the first 15 months, a one-off fee of DKK 9,000, 12,000 or 15,000 applies depending on the package. It is written into the proposal, so there are no surprises.
