Custom Website Development

Straight numbers, because most agencies make you book a call to hear them. A simple business website (5-7 pages, contact form, mobile-first) is $1,500-3,000 (approx. €1,400-2,800). A standard site with more pages, a second language or booking features runs $3,000-6,000 (€2,800-5,600). Larger builds with custom functionality sit at $6,000-12,000 (€5,600-11,000). You get an exact fixed quote after one conversation, and it does not grow mid-project.

Why the price is lower than a UK or US agency quote for the same work: I am one senior developer in Poland, not an office with project managers and account layers. You talk to the person writing the code. Same stack the agencies use, without their overhead.

A website designed and coded around your business: custom design matched to your brand, React and Next.js code, full responsiveness on phones and tablets, a contact form with email notifications, and analytics wired in so you can see where clients come from.

Also included, because it should never be an upsell: correct meta tags and structured data for Google, a sitemap, load time under a second, and deployment. The site is ready to rank from launch day, not "SEO-ready for a future package".

WordPress runs a huge share of business websites, and for some of them it is fine. The problems show up later: a dozen plugins to update, a premium theme with an annual fee, slow mobile loading, and break-ins through outdated plugins. You end up paying maintenance fees for a site that never changes.

A hand-coded site has no plugins, so there is nothing to update and nothing to break into. It loads faster because it ships no code it does not use. And there is no subscription: you pay once for the build, then only for the domain and hosting, typically $30-120 a year total. If your team publishes content daily and needs to edit it themselves, I wire a lightweight editor into exactly the sections that change, and nothing else.

An agency quote pays for the account manager, the project manager, the office and the margin, and then for the developer who does the work. Hiring the developer directly removes every layer except the one that builds your site. That is the whole trick, and it is why the same site costs 40-60% less.

The honest trade-off: one person has one calendar. I take a limited number of projects and tell you real timelines upfront instead of overbooking. For most business websites, one senior developer end to end beats a junior team with a manager in the middle.

The process is short. First a conversation about what the site needs to do for the business: calls, bookings, quote requests. You get a fixed quote and timeline the next working day. Then design for approval, code, your revisions, launch.

A simple business site takes 1-2 weeks from design approval. Bigger or multilingual builds take 3-4 weeks. The most common delay in any web project is waiting on content and photos, so if you do not have them, I help produce them.
