The short answer: in Lithuania in 2026 a website costs roughly 400 to 3,000 €, and most projects fall into three tiers — a simple brochure site around 500 €, a customised business site around 1,200 €, and a fully custom project from 2,000 €. Below: what fits into each tier, what drives the final number, and how to read quotes so that you compare the same work.
The market range is roughly 400–3,000 €, with separate cases beyond it. A simple brochure site of a few pages costs around 500 €. A customised business site with its own design, written copy and technical search optimisation runs around 1,200 €. A fully custom project with a research phase and more complex functionality starts at 2,000 €. Online stores start from 1,500 €. Anything above 10,000 € almost always means either a large agency with a team, or a system that is no longer really "a website".
Market ranges, VAT excluded

Three things drive the gap: scope, who does the work, and what is included after launch. Under 300 € you are almost always buying a ready template with the logo swapped — it works, but with no original design and usually no guarantee. Between 500 and 1,500 € you get a structure designed for you, copy adapted to your services, and a content management system you operate yourself. Large agencies add a coordination layer — project manager, designer, tester — which legitimately costs 30–50 % more but provides cover a one-person studio cannot. The key point: the difference between a 500 € and a 5,000 € quote is usually scope, not quality.
Four things. Page count and structure: five pages and twenty are different work even with the same design. Design scope: an off-the-shelf template, an adapted template, or design from a blank canvas. Content: whether you provide the copy and photographs or they have to be created — usually the most expensive invisible line. And integrations: payments, bookings, CRM or accounting each add development and testing. On top of the project price come recurring costs that are not part of it: a domain at 10–15 € a year and hosting from 5 € a month.
Website — from 500 €: 3–10 pages, custom design, mobile adaptation, technical SEO, content management, a 180-day guarantee, delivered in 2–4 weeks. Online store — from 1,500 €: WooCommerce for the Lithuanian market with Paysera and local accounting, Shopify for the fastest launch, or a custom Next.js store for more complex logic; payments, LP Express, DPD and Omniva shipping and training included. Business system — from 1,000 €: CRM, client portal or an internal tool built around your process, 6–16 weeks. In every case the price is fixed before work starts, the code and data remain yours, and the first consultation is free. We do not sell ongoing marketing — Google Ads or monthly SEO; the marketing agency Kasakai does that.
Under 300 € almost always means a ready-made template with the logo and text swapped. It works, and sometimes it is entirely enough — for a single page with contact details, say. What you will not get: an original design, adaptation to your process, and usually any guarantee after launch.
Between 500 and 1 500 € is the common range for small and mid-sized business. Here you are buying a structure designed for you, copy adapted to your services, technical search optimisation and a content management system you operate yourself. Most small studios and stronger freelancers work at this level.
From 3 000 € upward you get projects with a real research phase, custom design from a blank canvas, and more complex functionality or integrations. Above 10 000 € almost always means either a large agency with project managers and a design team, or a custom system that is no longer really “a website”.
The key thing to understand: the difference between a 500 € and a 5 000 € proposal is usually not quality but scope and process. So two proposals can only be compared once they describe the same work.
The most common reason is a differently understood scope. One developer is pricing five pages using your copy; another is pricing twelve pages including copywriting and image selection. The numbers differ threefold and both are correct. So before comparing prices, compare what is written into the scope.
The second reason is overhead. In an agency your project is touched by a project manager, a designer, a developer and a tester; that coordination is real and costs money, so an agency price is legitimately higher. A small studio or freelancer has no such layer — but also no cover if that person falls ill.
The third reason is what is included after launch. A proposal with no guarantee and no training will always look cheaper than one with a 180-day guarantee and handed-over access. You feel the difference not when buying, but a month after launch.
The domain and hosting are almost never part of the website price, because they are recurring annual costs: roughly 10–15 € a year for the domain, from 5 € a month for hosting. Small sums, but they must be registered in your name — otherwise you end up dependent on the developer.
Content is the biggest invisible line. Copywriting and a professional photo session often cost as much as the website itself, and without them even the best design looks half empty. If the budget is tight, a smaller site with real copy and real photographs beats a large one full of placeholders.
Paid licences are the third line. Some WordPress plugins (forms, bookings, multilingual) cost 50–200 € a year. That is normal, but it must be named in the proposal rather than appearing in year two as a renewal invoice.
Finally, changes after launch. Ask up front what an hour of small work costs and what counts as a warranty fix versus new work. A straightforward developer will answer immediately and in writing.
A website is not a one-off purchase, so the figure to calculate is total cost of ownership. A simple example: a 500 € website plus hosting and domain (about 80 € a year) costs roughly 740 € over three years. The same site on a platform with a 29 € monthly fee costs about 1 550 € over three years, even though the starting number looked smaller.
The second number that matters is how much time the site will cost you. If every text change means emailing the developer and waiting two days, a year of that accumulates both invoices and frustration. Content management and training are therefore not an add-on to the price — they are the part that reduces it.
Third: when the site pays for itself. If your average customer order is 400 €, an 800 € website pays for itself after two customers. It is a simple calculation worth doing before haggling over a 100 € discount — the cheaper option often costs more in lost orders than it saves.
A good proposal answers five questions: what exactly is the scope (a list of pages), what is the price and is it fixed, what is the timeline, what is included after launch (guarantee, training, access), and who ends up owning the code and data. If any answer is missing, get it in writing before signing.
Warning signs worth reacting to: a “from” price with no scope; refusal to commit to a timeline; guaranteed first-page Google rankings (nobody can guarantee that); the domain registered in the developer’s name; the full amount paid up front. None of these is a crime, but each is a question worth asking out loud.
And the last, often decisive check — ask to see two or three working websites the same person built a year or more ago. How they look and perform today tells you more than any proposal text.

Frequently asked
From 500 € for a professionally built site of 3–5 pages with a custom structure, mobile adaptation, technical SEO and content management. Under 300 € almost always means a ready template with the logo swapped — that works, but you get no original design and usually no guarantee.
No, because they are recurring annual costs: roughly 10–15 € a year for the domain and from 5 € a month for hosting. We register both in your name so they remain your property and you are not dependent on a developer.
Usually because the scope is understood differently — five pages with your copy versus twelve pages including copywriting. Beyond that: agency overhead, and what is included after launch. Compare scopes first, prices second.
Only if the scope genuinely matches. A cheaper site that cannot be edited without a developer, has no guarantee and loads slowly usually costs more in lost orders than it saved. Calculate the three-year cost, not the first invoice.
The first 180 days are covered by a guarantee at no extra charge. After that it depends on the platform: a WordPress site needs roughly an hour a month of updates and backups, a Next.js site needs practically none. Ask in advance what counts as a warranty fix and what counts as new work.
Yes. The usual arrangement is part at the start and the remainder on launch; for larger projects we split it into stages. The schedule is written into the contract along with the fixed price, so there are no surprises.
