A professional business website costs between SEK 20,000 and 100,000. The exact cost depends on number of pages, design, functionality and which technical platform is used. Ongoing costs for hosting, domain and maintenance run SEK 750–3,500 per month.

• Simple website (1–5 pages): SEK 20,000–30,000
• Business website (5–15 pages): SEK 40,000–60,000
• Advanced website (15+ pages): SEK 60,000–100,000+
• Ecommerce: SEK 30,000–120,000+ depending on complexity

Several factors determine the final price. The most important are design, functionality, content and technical platform.

• Number of pages — more pages require more design and development time
• Custom design vs template-based — unique design costs more but delivers better results
• Functionality — contact forms, booking systems, payments, multilingual
• CMS (content management) — the ability to update content yourself
• SEO optimization — technical SEO, structured data, sitemap
• Responsive design — adaptation for mobile, tablet and desktop
• Integrations — connections to CRM, booking systems, payment solutions

WordPress still dominates the market, but modern frameworks like Next.js deliver faster, more secure and more scalable websites. The difference is clear in performance and maintenance costs.

A WordPress site from an agency typically costs SEK 50,000–150,000 with ongoing costs of SEK 3,000–10,000 per month for hosting, security updates and plugin maintenance. A modern Next.js site costs about the same to build but has significantly lower ongoing costs because there are no servers to maintain, no plugins to update and no security holes to patch.

Performance also differs sharply. Where a typical WordPress site reaches 40–70 in Google’s Lighthouse test, a well-built Next.js site reaches 90–100. This directly impacts your Google ranking and conversion rate.

Many agencies lure you in with low starting prices but make it back on ongoing costs. Here are the most common traps:

• Platform lock-in — you don’t own the code and can’t switch agencies without starting over
• License fees — WordPress plugins that cost SEK 500–2,000 per year each
• Security updates — WordPress requires continuous updates to avoid being hacked
• Hourly billing — "fixed price" that only covers the base design, everything else costs extra
• Hosting that scales in price — cheap hosting that gets expensive when traffic grows

The cheapest website is the one you don’t have to redo after a year. Invest right from the start and you’ll save money long-term.

When comparing the cost of a website you should always calculate the total cost over at least one year. Here’s a realistic comparison:

• In-house developer (employee): SEK 900,000+
• WordPress agency: SEK 140,000–330,000 (project + hosting + maintenance + plugins)
• Galea design: SEK 38,000–96,000 (project + operations)

The difference is mainly because modern platforms require minimal maintenance, you don’t pay per-user license fees, and you fully own the code and data.

Not every business needs a new website. But if any of the following applies to you, it’s probably time to invest:

• Your current site loads slower than 3 seconds
• You can’t update content yourself without contacting your agency
• The site doesn’t look good on mobile
• You’re paying more than SEK 3,000/month for hosting and maintenance
• You don’t show up on Google despite having a website
• Your website no longer reflects what your company does or stands for
