How much does a website cost in Cyprus in 2026?
Price ranges for a landing page, a business website and an online store in Cyprus and Greece, from freelancers, agencies and platforms, plus running costs.
Search for “how much does a website cost” and you’ll find answers from €80 to €25,000. Both are true: they’re just describing completely different things. The result is that most small business owners in Cyprus ask for three quotes, get €400, €1,800 and €4,500, and have no way of telling whether the cheap one is a trap or the expensive one is padding.
For this article we went through the published price lists and pricing guides of roughly ten agencies and studios in Cyprus and Greece, the pricing pages of the major platforms, and domain registration fees (September 2026). We don’t name anyone: the ranges are by category. At the end you’ll find our own prices too, along with what they add up to over three years.
The short answer
For a small business in Cyprus or Greece in 2026, excluding VAT:
- Landing page (one page): roughly €300–€1,000
- Business website, 5–10 pages: roughly €800–€2,500: freelancers using a ready-made template start lower
- Online store: from €1,500–€3,500 for a small shop to €8,000+ for a medium or custom one
- Yearly running cost: from ~€60 (static site) to €250–€1,100 (WordPress with maintenance)
- Website builder: roughly €15–€40 a month: cheap at the start, not necessarily over time
What the market actually charges, by type of site
The prices professionals publish themselves, grouped:
| Type | Typical range | Timeline | What drives the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landing page | €300–€1,000 | 1–2 weeks | Template or custom design, whether copy is included |
| Business website (5–10 pages) | €800–€2,500 | 2–4 weeks | Number of pages, second language, depth of SEO |
| Larger business site (10–20+ pages) | €2,000–€5,000+ | 4–8 weeks | Blog, many services, bookings, integrations |
| Small online store (up to ~100 products) | €1,500–€3,500 | 3–6 weeks | Payment methods, shipping, filters |
| Medium online store (100–1,000 products) | €3,500–€8,000 | 6–12 weeks | Catalogue import, ERP/courier integration |
| Custom store or web app | €8,000–€25,000+ | 3–6+ months | Features that don’t exist off the shelf |
Two things the table doesn’t show. First, a second language, almost always needed in Cyprus, adds anything from about €250 per language to 20% of the total in published price lists. Second, the copy: those who charge for it separately usually ask €30–€100 per page. If a quote doesn’t say who writes it, you probably do.
Freelancer, agency or platform?
The same type of site is priced differently depending on who builds it, and for good reasons.
Freelancers. For a standard business website, prices run roughly €300–€2,000. At the low end it’s usually a ready-made theme with your colours and text swapped in. That isn’t bad in itself, as long as you know what you’re buying and who will maintain it in two years’ time.
Small agencies and studios. This is where most quotes for small businesses land: €800–€2,500 for a business website, with design tailored to your brand and basic SEO. You’re paying for process, quality control and someone who picks up the phone.
Larger agencies. From €2,000–€5,000 and up for a business site, €5,000–€15,000+ for custom or e-commerce. It makes sense when strategy, branding and campaigns come together, less so when you need five pages and a form.
Website builders. Plans that let you use your own domain cost roughly €15–€40 a month on annual billing; more on monthly billing. Plans that accept payments start around the middle of that range.
Hosted e-commerce platforms. A basic plan is about €22–€29 a month, a mid-tier one €62–€82, and on top of that there’s a fee on every card payment: around 1.8–1.9% + €0.25 with the built-in payment system. If you use your own payment gateway, the basic plan adds another 2% per transaction. On a store doing €5,000 a month in sales, that 2% is €100 a month that never appears on the pricing page.
What you pay every year after launch
The build is paid once. These are paid for as long as the site exists:
| Cost | Yearly range | Note |
|---|---|---|
| .gr / .com domain | ~€10–€20 | .gr is usually renewed every two years |
| .com.cy / .cy domain | from ~€35 | Run by the University of Cyprus .cy Registry; prices vary by registrar |
| Hosting | €50–€300 | Static sites at the low end, WordPress and online stores at the high end |
| Paid plugins / themes | €50–€500 | Mostly WordPress and WooCommerce |
| WordPress maintenance | €250–€800 | Updates, backups, security |
| Full support (changes, hours) | €50–€300 a month | Anything beyond basic maintenance |
So a WordPress site realistically costs €250–€1,100 a year to stay updated and secure. A static site (no database, no plugins) can cost just hosting and a domain. That difference is the main reason we recommend static for most small businesses, as we explain on our website design page.
SSL (the HTTPS padlock) is free with most providers today. If someone charges you separately for it on a simple site, ask why.
Why two quotes for “the same site” differ threefold
When you compare €600 with €1,800, you’re rarely comparing the same thing. The difference almost always hides in these:
- Template or design. A ready-made theme in your colours, or pages designed around your customers.
- Copy. Do you write it, do they “review” it, or do they write it based on what your customers search for?
- SEO. Anything from “we installed a plugin” to structured data, proper titles, a sitemap and speed. Increasingly it also matters whether AI search tools can read the site: see what GEO is.
- Mobile speed. A heavy theme with ten plugins and a lean site look the same on a quote; they differ in how many visitors stay.
- What happens afterwards. Is support included? For how long? Who does the updates?
- Ownership. Is the domain in your name? Do you get access to the hosting? Can you leave tomorrow with the code?
The cheap quote isn’t automatically bad and the expensive one isn’t automatically good. They’re simply not comparable until those six are answered.
What about VAT?
Most prices you’ll see in price lists exclude VAT. The standard rate is 19% in Cyprus and 24% in Greece, so a €1,000 site is €1,190 or €1,240 on the invoice. If you’re VAT-registered you may be able to reclaim it; that’s a question for your accountant, not for us.
Our prices, and what they cost over three years
Our packages, as listed on the website design page, excluding 19% VAT:
| Package | Build price | Timeline | Platform | Hosting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Landing page | from €490 | 1–2 weeks | Astro (static) | from €120 / year |
| Business website | from €990 | 3–4 weeks | Astro (static) | from €120 / year |
| WordPress website | from €1,490 | 4–6 weeks | WordPress | from €180 / year |
All of them include: the domain in your name at cost, SEO and GEO at no extra charge, and 6 months of support of up to 5 hours a month. After that, if you want, Care plans from €39 a month or €45 per hour.
Over three years, excluding the domain:
- Business website without Care: €990 + 3 × €120 hosting = €1,350
- Business website with Care Basic after the first 6 months: €1,350 + 30 × €39 = €2,520
- WordPress website without Care: €1,490 + 3 × €180 hosting = €2,030
“Without Care” is a realistic scenario for a static site that doesn’t change often: there are no plugins to update. For WordPress, security updates are already part of the hosting, but content changes after the first 6 months are billed.
What we don’t do: we’re not taking on online stores from scratch at the moment. If you already run a PrestaShop store, have a look at our ready-made modules, and if you’re considering a chatbot for the store, see the AI chatbot for online stores and its pricing.
What to do before asking for quotes
Write three things on one page: what you want a visitor to do (call, book, buy), which pages you need, and what material you already have (copy, photos, logo). Send the same page to everyone, and ask for written answers to the six questions above. That’s when quotes become comparable.
If you’d like to start with us, send us that page. We reply within one business day, with a price, or with an honest opinion that something cheaper will do.
