How Much Does a Showcase Website Cost in 2025? (Simple Guide for Freelancers and Small Businesses)

🔹 Introduction

Are you a craftsperson, shop owner, freelancer, or small business owner thinking about creating a website to boost your visibility?

But the same question always comes up: how much will it cost me?

In this article, I’ll give you a clear overview of showcase website prices in 2025, depending on your needs, budget, and goals. No technical jargon—just the essentials.

🔹 1. What Is a Showcase Website?

A showcase website is a simple website that presents your business, services, contact details, and sometimes your portfolio or client testimonials. It doesn't sell online, but it serves as a digital business card.

It’s perfect for:

  • A craftsperson (plumber, carpenter, painter…)
  • A therapist, coach, or consultant
  • A local store
  • A service company (construction, cleaning, communications…)

🔹 2. What Factors Affect the Price?

Here are the key elements that influence the cost:

  • Number of pages: a “standard” site has 3 to 5 pages (Home, About, Services, Contact…)
  • Custom design or template?
  • Extra features: contact form, Google Maps, gallery, etc.
  • SEO (Search Engine Optimization): to be visible on Google
  • Hosting and maintenance

🔹 3. Price Ranges in 2025

Type of solutionApproximate costDIY (e.g., Wix)€0 to €200/year (very basic)Beginner freelancer / student€300 – €800Professional freelancer€800 – €2,000Web agency€2,000 – €5,000+

💡 With me (Noah Vernhet), a professional showcase website starts at €600, depending on your specific needs.

🔹 4. What You’re Paying For (and Why)

When you hire a freelancer, you're not just paying for a site—you’re paying for:

  • Personalized advice: page selection, design tailored to your audience
  • A professional and responsive design (mobile-friendly)
  • A website that’s fast, secure, and easy to update
  • Basic SEO optimization (essential for being found on Google)
  • Support before / during / after delivery

🔹 5. My Advice: Be Wary of "Cheap" Options

A €200 website can quickly turn into a nightmare:

  • Poor quality, no SEO
  • No maintenance
  • No strategy (poor visuals, outdated design…)

👉 Investing a little more = an effective, long-lasting, professional website.

🔹 Conclusion

Creating a showcase website in 2025 is not a luxury—it’s a must-have tool for existing online.

Whether you’re a craftsperson, coach, or store owner, your site is your storefront—open 24/7.
