How much does a professional website cost? Transparent fixed prices for modern websites by Calvus Web Design, built in Zurich for businesses and SMEs across Switzerland.
The cost of a website depends on its scope: number of pages, languages, required features and how deep the SEO setup should go. There is no one-size-fits-all answer, but there is a clear one.
Instead of vague quotes, we work with clearly defined packages. You know what your website will cost before the project starts and receive a binding fixed-price offer.

A fixed price only works if it's clear where it ends. These services are not part of the packages:
With hourly billing, you carry the risk: every extra revision and every delay increases the invoice. An estimate in hours is a forecast, not a price.
With a fixed price, we define in writing what will be delivered before we start. You approve that scope, and the price stays the same — even if the build takes us longer than planned.
If the scope changes, we agree on the extra cost in writing first. Nothing is billed without your approval. See how the project runs on getting a website built in Zurich.
A one-pager needs less planning, design and content than a site with ten subpages.
Every additional language means its own copy, navigation and SEO details on each page.
A bespoke layout with animations and interactions takes more work than a simple structure.
Contact forms, appointment booking or connecting external services add to the build effort.
If you want to manage content or a blog yourself, a content management system needs to be set up.
From a basic setup to local SEO to a full setup, scope and effort vary considerably.
Web analytics is set up on request and configured separately with third-party services.
Requirements that go beyond a typical business website are scoped individually.
Updates, backups and monitoring after launch are not part of the project price, but available through optional care plans.
The range is wide. Website builders are cheap but require a lot of your own work. Freelancers, small studios and larger agencies differ greatly in price, process and scope.
Comparing only the final price often means comparing different things. Look at what's actually included: number of pages, design, languages, SEO setup, support and features.
