Ask three agencies for a quote and you’ll get three different numbers, usually with a pile of surprise pickles at the bottom. Time for clarity: what does a website actually cost, and why don’t you need a fortune anymore?
Design agency: €1,500 – €10,000+
Custom work runs into thousands, plus monthly maintenance. Great work — but overkill for most entrepreneurs.
DIY builders: €0 – €300/year
Tools like Wix or Squarespace are cheaper, but you’ll lose a weekend dragging, tweaking and starting over.

Frequently asked questions
Q.What’s the cheapest way to get a website?
An AI builder. With Sandwich Monkey your first website is free and you only pay for extras you choose. No agency hours, no forced subscription.
Q.Why do agencies charge so much?
You mainly pay for hours: meetings, design, revisions and project management. For a standard business site that’s often unnecessary — AI does it in minutes.
Q.Are there hidden costs?
Not with us. First site free, extra sites €10, and add-ons (domain, extra languages, watermark-free) are your choice. Everything upfront.
Q.Is a cheap website a good website?
Absolutely. Price says nothing about quality — AI builds a professional, fast, multilingual site. Expensive doesn’t mean better.
