Any quote without a brief ("websites from €500!") is a lottery. A solid agency quotes after a conversation and brief — because price depends on scope, and scope can't be guessed from an ad.

FAQ
Can a €500 website be good?
Yes — if it's a WordPress/Elementor template with stock graphics and you accept no personalization. For €500 you don't get custom design, proper SEO, integrations, or testing.
How much does a Shopify store cost in EU?
Basic store on a ready theme: €900–2,300. Custom theme with branding and integrations: €2,800–7,000. Shopify Plus with advanced automations: €9,500+.
WordPress or Next.js?
WordPress wins where the client wants to edit content and has a tight budget. Next.js/Astro wins on performance, SEO, security, and long-term upkeep cost. For 90% of B2B sites in 2026 we recommend Next.js + headless CMS.
