What the price of a website depends on
A website isn't a fixed-price product like a phone — it's a service built to measure. That's why two sites that „look similar“ can cost very differently.
The main factors that set the price are:
- checkNumber of pages and amount of content
- checkCustom unique design versus a ready-made template
- checkFeatures: forms, bookings, multiple languages, blog, payments
- checkIntegrations with other systems (CRM, ERP, delivery, bank)
- checkProducing copy, photos and a logo if you don't have them
- checkHow much SEO is built in from the start
How much a presentation website costs
A presentation site showcases your business: home, about, services, portfolio and contact. For a small business with 5–8 pages, the realistic range in Macedonia is usually between €400 and €1,200.
A simple landing page (a single page with a clear call to action) can cost less — around €150–€400. Larger sites with custom design, animations and richer content go above €1,200.
How much an online store costs
An online store is more complex because it includes a product catalog, cart, payments and order management. So it starts at around €800 and easily exceeds €3,000 for large catalogs with many features.
On top of the build cost you should add connecting to a bank for card payments. That's a separate process, usually activated 10–15 days after the bank approves it.
One-time price versus an annual package
There are two ways to pay. The first is a one-time price — you pay for the build and handle hosting and maintenance separately. The second is an annual package, where development, hosting, maintenance and updates sit in one place for a fixed yearly fee.
The package looks more expensive on paper but is often the better value: you don't worry about upgrades, security and backups, and the site stays up to date. For a business without its own IT, it's usually the calmer choice.
Hidden costs: domain, hosting and maintenance
The build is one-time, but a website has ongoing costs too. The domain (e.g. yourcompany.mk) is paid yearly, usually €10–€30. Hosting, where the site „lives“, is typically €30–€100 per year for a small business.
Maintenance — updates, security, backups and small edits — is best not skipped. A neglected site becomes slow and vulnerable, which costs more in the long run than regular upkeep.
