Wordpress website price=

Introduction

When it comes to website development on the WordPress platform, prices on the market can range from 200 euro to over 5000 euro. Today we're taking a look at this topic to clarify the factors that determine these differences and explore some of the key aspects you should keep in mind when looking for website development services.

How the website is made

Today, wordpress is the most popular cms platform in the world, with over 800 million websites created. Because of its popularity, there are several ways to build a website.

1. Prefabricated design themes - This is the simplest and generally the cheapest method. However, it offers the least degree of customization, and in many cases websites can be slower. Their proper functioning also depends on regular theme updates by the developer.
2. Simple themes with import templates for each page - This method allows you to create websites with a greater degree of customization than pre-built ones. However, pages should be checked carefully, as there may be responsiveness issues and the date they were created should be taken into account, given the regular updates to the WordPress platform.
3. Simple themes with custom layouts (optional custom CSS/ vanilla JS) - This method offers a balance between customization and efficiency. The design is tailored to the content of the website and allows a high degree of flexibility. While the creation may take longer, the result can be comparable to sites created from scratch, and is fast and unique. This is our preferred option, with excellent value for money. You can see the websites so far in the portfolio.
4. Custom made themes - This option is often chosen by large agencies that use themes created in-house and not available in WordPress libraries. The prices can be significantly higher, and the websites are very fast and customizable, but require the assistance of a developer for any further modifications.
5. Headless - This approach implies the complete elimination of front-end realization through WordPress, allowing the developer to choose any framework for front-end creation. The sites are basically created from scratch, but benefit from the multiple functionalities offered by the WordPress backend.

Additional services and hidden costs

It is important to be aware of possible additional costs and additional services associated with developing a website on the WordPress platform. Some agencies may charge extra for certain services such as training on website delivery. Make sure that the agreed price includes all functionalities essential to your business needs, avoiding unpleasant surprises later. Last but not least ask the cost of maintenance and the cost per hour for on-demand modifications. In the future it will be easiest for the person who created the website to make changes. Think long term, is monthly maintenance required? What is the cost of changes over 6 months? How quickly do they respond to emails/messages? Efficient and fast communication with the development team is essential for the project to run smoothly and for any issues or queries to be resolved promptly.

Conclusion

As you can see wordpress can be used in a variety of ways, which explains the significant price differences found in the market. Whatever option you choose, it is essential to work with a committed developer and establish a long-term relationship. Given the regular changes that WordPress undergoes and the need to intervene on a regular basis, transparent and lasting communication with the developer is crucial. In my view, the best results for both parties are achieved by combining a theme with simple layouts with transparent and lasting communication.
