How much does a website cost in Belgium? (2026)

Having a standard business website built in one language costs €1,500 to €8,000 from a Belgian freelancer or web agency. Each extra language adds 15 to 50%, and after that you pay €50 to €200 a month for hosting and maintenance. A subscription agency builds your site without a big invoice up front and charges €49 to €450 a month. If you build it yourself on a platform such as Wix or Squarespace, you pay €10 to €45 a month for a site in two or three languages, but you do all the work.

All amounts exclude VAT unless stated otherwise, and were checked on 4 November 2026. We converted dollar prices at 1.1179 dollars to 1 euro (ECB, 3 November 2026). Kintsu, the publisher of this guide, builds websites itself, so we've left Kintsu out of the comparison. At the bottom, you'll find a few lines on what we do.

What does each type of provider cost, at a glance?

• Building it yourself on a platform (Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, Hostinger): nothing up front, €10 to €45 a month for two or three languages (more at Webflow with translated URLs). A small business in two languages pays about €100 to €1,000 over three years. You do everything yourself.

• A freelancer: €1,500 to €4,000 up front for one language, plus 15 to 50% per extra language. Then €50 to €200 a month. A small business in two languages pays from about €3,500 over three years. You supply the texts and ask for changes.

• A web agency: €3,500 to €8,000 up front for a larger site in one language, more for an online shop or custom work. Then €50 to €200 a month. Up to about €12,500 over three years for a small business in two languages. You explain what you want, review and approve.

• A subscription agency: €0 to €1,399 up front, then €49 to €450 a month, usually for 1 to 8 pages in one language and with a contract of up to 24 months. A small business in two languages pays about €2,500 to €10,800 over three years. You read the contract carefully.

Building it yourself: what do you get, and what do you do yourself?

With a platform, you rent the tools: ready-made designs, an editor to change your site, and the hosting (the server your site runs on). Billed yearly, a site in two or three languages costs €10 to €45 a month. You'll find what languages cost on each platform further down.

Watch out for promotions: Hostinger charges €1.99 a month if you pay 48 months up front, and €9.99 after that (Hostinger).

What you do yourself: everything. The design, the texts, the photos, the translations and every change later on. How many hours that takes depends a lot on your experience. There's no official figure; we reckon on 20 to 40 hours for a simple site. If you have the time and enjoy it, this is the cheapest option.

A freelancer or a web agency: €1,500 to €8,000

For a business site of 5 to 10 pages in one language you pay €1,500 to €3,500, and €3,500 to €8,000 for 10 pages or more (Digimi). A freelancer is usually at the low end (€1,500 to €4,000), an agency at the high end (DYsign). An online shop costs €5,000 to €15,000, and custom work with integrations with other software €8,000 to €20,000 or more (DYsign). Digimi and DYsign are Belgian web agencies themselves.

On top of that, according to Digimi:

• each extra language: 15 to 50% of the build price;

• hosting: €10 to €50 a month;

• maintenance (updates and security): €40 to €150 a month.

What you get: a custom site that you own, and a single point of contact. What you do yourself: supply the texts. If you want to change something after launch, you send an email, and an invoice often follows.

A subscription agency: €49 to €450 a month

A subscription agency builds your site without a big invoice up front. Hosting and maintenance are included in the monthly fee, sometimes a few changes too. Some Belgian examples, excluding VAT unless stated otherwise:

• Incrediweb: €49 a month on an annual contract, otherwise €59; a site in two or more languages costs €20 a month extra. You supply the translations yourself or use their translation service. The page doesn't say whether prices include VAT.

• Jitware: €99 to €289 a month, no setup fee and no minimum term. But at most five pages in one language, and if you cancel, your site goes offline.

• Covents Solutions: €89 or €139 a month, 12-month contract. If you want to take ownership of your site afterwards, you pay €750.

• Webmake: €59 to €139 a month, plus a €599 to €1,399 setup fee, 24-month contract.

• Pastel Studio: €119 to €299 a month for 1 to 8 pages, with 3 small changes a month, 12-month contract.

• Netween: €200 to €450 a month, plus a €149.99 setup fee. For that, they also write 2 to 6 articles a year, and you get 4 to 12 hours for changes.

One-off or subscription: which is cheaper?

Take the worked example below: a small business, five pages, in Dutch and French. With a freelancer you pay €1,725 up front and then about €50 a month. With Incrediweb you pay nothing up front and €69 a month. Over three years, that's €3,525 compared with €2,484.

So the monthly amounts are close. The difference lies mainly in the build price up front. Compared with Incrediweb, the one-off site only becomes cheaper after about 91 months (seven and a half years); compared with a €89 subscription (Covents Start), after about 44 months. If the freelancer charges €100 a month or more for hosting and maintenance, the subscription stays cheaper. So also compare what's included: at Incrediweb you supply the translation yourself, and the number of pages isn't stated.

A one-off site is yours, and you only pay for the build once; after that, you still pay for hosting and maintenance. A subscription doesn't require a large sum up front, and updates, security and hosting are included. So with a subscription, check above all how easy it is to leave:

• Term. Twelve months is common; Webmake asks for 24. Iseox warns about 48-month subscriptions: at €190 a month you pay €9,120 for a simple site that disappears when you stop paying.

• Renewal. Does the contract renew automatically without giving you a chance to cancel in time? Between businesses in Belgium, such a clause is in principle unfair (article VI.91/5 of the Code of Economic Law, since 1 December 2020, Jubel, in Dutch).

• Leaving. Who owns the domain, the design and the texts if you leave? Do you have to buy your site out, or does it go offline?

What do languages cost in Belgium?

In Belgium, you quickly end up selling to customers who speak another language: in Brussels, across the language border, or to expats. Languages are where prices differ most.

On a platform, you pay per language, every month:

• Webflow charges $9 per extra language a month (€8.05). For translated URLs, such as /fr/tarifs instead of /fr/prijzen, you need the more expensive option: $29 per language (€25.94) (Webflow).

• Framer charges $20 per extra language a month (€17.89) (Framer).

• Squarespace doesn't translate sites itself; you connect Weglot. One extra language costs €150 a year, two or three languages €290 a year. Translated URLs start at €790 a year (Weglot).

• Wix translates the first 3,000 words automatically for free; after that you buy word packs whose price isn't public (Wix).

• Hostinger allows four languages, including the main one, but you translate everything yourself (Hostinger).

With a freelancer or agency, you pay per language, once: 15 to 50% of the build price (Digimi). On a €3,500 site, that's €525 to €1,750 per language. It's worth asking whether the translation itself is included; we found no reliable Belgian rate per word.

Subscription agencies rarely include it. Incrediweb charges €20 a month, Jitware quotes an extra language separately, and the others don't mention it.

Always ask: who translates, and who reviews? Does each language get translated URLs? And can you see when a translation is out of date after you've changed the Dutch text? More in Setting up a bilingual Dutch-French website.

Worked example: a small business in two languages over three years

A hair salon, a practice or a shop with five pages (the business, services and prices, the team, photos and contact), in Dutch and French, with a contact form. We assume yearly billing, excluding VAT, over 36 months. Not counted: the domain, texts, photos, online booking and your own hours.

Building it yourself:

• Hostinger Premium: €95.52 for four years paid up front (promotion; then €9.99 a month). You do the translating yourself.

• Wix Light: €504. That's the price excluding VAT in France; Wix only shows the Belgian price at checkout (La Fabrique du Net).

• Webflow Basic with one extra language: €773.

• Squarespace Basic with Weglot for one language: €807. Squarespace shows its prices including VAT (Squarespace); here they're shown excluding VAT.

• Framer Basic with one extra language: €966.

A freelancer or an agency:

• At the low end: €1,500 plus 15% for French, €1,725 in total, and €50 a month for hosting and maintenance. Over three years: €3,525.

• At the high end: €3,500 plus 50%, €5,250 in total, and €200 a month. Over three years: €12,450.

A subscription agency:

• Incrediweb with a second language: €2,484. VAT and the number of pages aren't stated.

• Covents Start (up to five pages): €3,204, and €750 if you want to take ownership of the site afterwards.

• Jitware Starter: €3,564, but in one language; French is quoted separately.

• Webmake Groei (up to seven pages): €3,204 plus an €899 setup fee, €4,103 in total.

• Pastel Studio Pro (five to eight pages): €10,764.

Covents, Webmake and Pastel Studio don't state what an extra language costs.

And a larger business site? With 10 to 15 pages in three languages and news or projects you add yourself, building it yourself costs about €100 (Hostinger, four years up front) to €1,600 (Framer) over three years, or €2,673 at Webflow with translated URLs. With a freelancer or agency, it comes to €6,350 to €23,200: €4,550 to €16,000 for the build (two extra languages can double the build price), plus €50 to €200 a month. A subscription agency costs €2,484 (Incrediweb) to €12,750 (Netween, with articles and hours for changes).

Which costs don't you see straight away?

1. The domain: a .be costs €10 to €30 a year (Digimi). Platforms often include it free for the first year; after that, you pay for it.

2. Online booking: with Wix Light, customers can't book an appointment; for that you need at least the Core plan, €25 a month excluding VAT in France instead of €14 (La Fabrique du Net). With a freelancer, agency or subscription, ask whether a booking system is included, or what it costs to connect one.

3. Setup fees: €599 to €1,399 at Webmake, €149.99 at Netween.

4. Leaving: €750 to take ownership of your site at Covents; at Jitware, your site goes offline.

5. Promotional prices: base your sums on the price after the promotion.

6. VAT: Squarespace shows prices including VAT, Webflow and Framer in dollars, plus VAT. If you're under the Belgian VAT exemption scheme for small businesses (turnover below €25,000 in 2026), you can't deduct VAT (Securex). For you, the price with 21% VAT is the real price.

7. Analytics: Google Analytics is free, but needs a cookie banner (see Do I need a cookie banner?).

8. Your own time: every hour you spend building, translating or updating is an hour you don't spend working for your customers.

Frequently asked questions

What does a simple website cost if you're self-employed?

A one-page site costs €500 to €1,500 (DYsign), a site of five to ten pages €1,500 to €3,500 (Digimi). Building it yourself costs €9 to €25 a month for a site in one language. A subscription agency starts at around €49 a month.

What does a website cost per year, after the build?

Budget for hosting (€10 to €50 a month), maintenance (€40 to €150 a month) and a domain (€10 to €30 a year), according to Digimi. That's €610 to €2,430 a year in total, without new texts or major changes.

Is a website tax-deductible in Belgium?

Yes, a website for your business is a business expense. Your accountant will usually depreciate a one-off site over a few years, and if you're VAT-registered, you can deduct the VAT (DYsign). Under the VAT exemption scheme, you can't. Ask your accountant how they'll book your site.

How long are you tied in to a subscription?

At the Belgian agencies we looked at, anything from no minimum term (Jitware) to 24 months (Webmake), usually 12. Also ask whether the contract renews automatically.

Which option suits you?

• You have time and like doing it yourself: a platform. Check above all what the second language costs.

• You want a custom site and can pay for the build up front: a freelancer for a small site, an agency for a larger site, an online shop or integrations with your software.

• You don't want a big invoice up front, or to do much yourself: a subscription agency. Then check above all how you can leave.

• Your customers book appointments online: first ask whether a booking system is included, and what it costs.

• Your customers speak Dutch and French: ask every provider what the second language costs, including after the build.

What should you check in a quote?

Get it in writing:

1. How many pages are included, and what does an extra page cost?

2. Which languages are included, who translates, and does each language get translated URLs?

3. Who writes the texts, and what does a new text cost?

4. What does a change after launch cost, and how quickly is it done?

5. What does maintenance cover: updates, backups, security, hosting?

6. How long is the contract, does it renew automatically, and what's the notice period?

7. What happens if you leave: does your site stay online, can you take it with you, do you have to buy it out?

8. Is the domain in your name? Who owns the design and the texts?

9. Is the price with or without VAT, and is it a promotional price?
