"How much is a website?" gets answers of 3,000 TL and 300,000 TL; both can be right. This article covers realistic ranges for 2026, the items that set the price and what is missing from a cheap quote.

Realistic price ranges for 2026

Site type	Market range	Our price
One-page website	5,000 - 25,000 TL	$249 (8,900 TL)
Corporate site (5 pages)	10,000 - 60,000 TL	$549 (19,900 TL)
Corporate site (10 pages + blog)	25,000 - 120,000 TL	$749 (27,900 TL)
Custom design	50,000 - 400,000 TL	$1,899 (74,900 TL)
E-commerce (starter)	15,000 - 80,000 TL	$849 (31,900 TL)
E-commerce (professional)	40,000 - 250,000 TL	$1,299 (49,900 TL)

The ranges are this wide because the word "website" covers very different jobs. A site with the same number of pages can be made in three days by one person pouring your ready copy into a template, or in three weeks by a team that writes the copy, manages the photography and sets up the Google foundation.

The seven items that set the price

1. Number of pages and content structure

Every page means design, copy and layout. But the real difference is not the number of pages; it is how different the pages are from each other. Ten service pages on the same template are cheaper than three original pages.

2. Who writes the copy

The most overlooked item. In most cheap quotes the copy is your job; when you cannot write it, the project waits for months or the site launches with empty sentences. A quote that includes copywriting is thirty to forty percent more expensive than one that does not, and almost always gives a better result.

3. Design: template or custom

A site built on a ready theme is fast and cheap; thousands of sites look the same and theme updates can cause trouble. Custom design is unique to the brand and loads faster, but costs two or three times more. For a small business, "well-tuned secure platform + custom content" is usually the right balance. We covered this in a separate article.

4. Functions

A contact form is standard. Online booking, membership, payment, listing systems, multiple languages and integrations are each separate development and separate cost. Ask for them to be listed one by one in the quote.

5. Images

Stock photos are cheap but familiar; professional photography is expensive but directly affects sales. On sites that sell products, the photo budget should not be smaller than the site budget.

6. Preparation for Google

Title and description tags, structured data, speed, sitemap, Search Console. These may be sold separately under the name "SEO" or be included in the package. On a site where they are not included, Google finds you but does not understand you.

7. After delivery

Training, fix period, maintenance. If 30 days of free fixes are not included, an extra invoice arrives in the first month. If your package has an admin panel, ask whether panel training is included; if it has no panel, find out who will make content changes and at what cost.

What is not in the 3,000 TL quote

Usually: copywriting, image selection, mobile testing, speed optimisation, SEO tags, legal texts, training, a fix period, and often ownership of the site (the domain and hosting are registered in the seller's name). The site goes live, but it neither makes the phone ring nor belongs to you.

Hidden yearly costs

Domain 300 to 800 TL a year, hosting 1,000 to 5,000 TL, SSL free on most hosts, paid theme and plugin licences 1,000 to 5,000 TL a year if any, maintenance plan 2,000 to 7,000 TL a month. Ask about these at the quote stage; "the site is 20,000 TL" can hide 15,000 TL of yearly running costs.

How to compare

When you put three quotes side by side, look at the scope table, not the price: is copy included, how many revisions, delivery time, who owns what, what happens after delivery. Once the scope is equalised the price difference usually shrinks. We listed the questions to ask in this article. Our full price list is on one page.

Quick answers

Do your website prices change by city or country?

No. Agencies in big cities often charge more because their office and staff costs are higher, so quotes for the same work can vary a lot from place to place.

At TurkWebsite the price does not depend on where you are. Our starting prices: a one-page site from $249, a 5-page business site from $549, a 10-page business site from $749 and a starter online shop from $849 (no Turkish VAT for customers outside Türkiye). We work by phone, WhatsApp and video call, so location makes no difference to quality or delivery time.

When comparing quotes, look at the scope rather than the location: whether copywriting is included, how many revision rounds you get, the delivery time and who owns the site.

How much does a mobile app cost?

It depends heavily on what the app needs to do. Our starting prices (no Turkish VAT for customers outside Türkiye):

Mobile app analysis and planning: $329. It turns your idea into screens, a feature list and a cost plan, and we recommend it before any development starts. Simple mobile app (MVP): $1,899. 4 to 6 screens and one core function, with user login, push notifications and an admin panel, published on iOS and Android. Standard mobile app: $4,499. 10 to 15 screens with features such as payments, maps and messaging, and an advanced admin panel. Comprehensive iOS and Android app: from $8,999.

The biggest cost drivers are the number of screens, logins, payments, maps, live data and integrations with other systems. Also budget for store fees: the Apple App Store charges $99 a year and Google Play a one-off $25 for a developer account. For most businesses, a good mobile-friendly website should come before an app.

How much does a landing page cost?

Our landing page design starts from $199 (no Turkish VAT for customers outside Türkiye). A landing page is built for a single campaign, product or service, and guides the visitor to one action, such as filling in a form, calling or sending a WhatsApp message.

Market prices vary depending on who writes the copy, whether ad and conversion tracking are set up, and whether A/B testing is included. If you are spending money on Google Ads or Meta ads, a good landing page directly affects how much you get from that budget.

If you do not need a full business website and want to promote one service, a landing page is the quickest and most affordable start; delivery for a one-page site starts from 3 business days.

Do website prices include VAT?

For customers outside Türkiye, no Turkish VAT is added. Web design is a service we export from Türkiye, and Turkish VAT does not apply when the customer is based abroad, so no tax is added to the prices on our English, Norwegian and Azerbaijani pages. Customers in Türkiye pay 20% VAT on top of the listed prices.

If you are a business in the EU, the UK or Norway, you may need to report VAT on the purchase yourself under your country's reverse-charge rules; your accountant can confirm this. Share your company and invoice details at the quote stage and we will issue the invoice accordingly.

When you compare quotes from local agencies, check whether their prices include VAT. Local VAT, for example 20% in the UK and 25% in Norway, can make a similar-looking price noticeably higher.

Are the domain and hosting included in the price?

Hosting is included; the domain is not.

Hosting is free for as long as your site stays on the TurkWebsite server: no set-up fee, no yearly renewal and no monthly charge. Installation of a free SSL certificate is also included.

The domain is not included in the price. It is registered in your name and you pay its yearly fee. We do this on purpose: your domain is your business's address on the internet and should always be under your control. A common extension such as .com usually costs around 10 to 20 US dollars a year. We are happy to help you register it in your name.

How much does a website cost per year?

With many providers, "the website costs $500" hides hosting, licence and maintenance fees that you pay every year. So when you ask for a quote, ask about the yearly cost as well as the build price.

At TurkWebsite the only compulsory yearly cost is your domain fee. Hosting is free while the site stays on our server, and a free SSL certificate is included. Errors found in the first 30 days after launch are fixed free of charge.

Maintenance is optional. If you want regular updates and support, the Basic Maintenance Plan is $79 per month and the Professional Maintenance Plan $129 per month (no Turkish VAT for customers outside Türkiye). Without a plan, requests are handled as needed and charged by the hour.

How do I pay for a website?

For quoted projects, 50 percent is paid when work starts and the remaining 50 percent before the site goes live. That way you never pay in full before seeing half the work.

The payment method and currency are confirmed in your written quote. Maintenance plans are paid monthly in advance.

Whichever way you pay, the amount, scope and delivery time are stated in writing in your quote and order summary. We never ask for payment through unusual channels, and we never send refunds of overpayments to third parties.

Will there be extra charges later?

The amount for the scope written on the service page is stated in the quote from the start. The number of pages, revision rounds, deliverables and delivery time are listed on every service page, and as long as the work stays within that scope there are no extra charges.

Extra costs only come up when the scope changes, for example adding new pages, asking for a new feature, or switching to a completely different direction from the approved design. In that case you receive a written quote before any work starts, and nothing you have not approved is ever invoiced.

External costs such as your domain, paid plugins and licences, payment provider commissions and SMS or e-mail service fees are not included; where needed, they are listed separately in the quote.

Is it cheaper to redesign my old website or build a new one?

It depends on the state of the site. A redesign is not always cheaper.

If the site only looks dated or breaks on phones, smaller work may be enough: Website Design and Visual Refresh starts from $349 and Mobile Responsive Fix from $249. If you need a full overhaul that keeps the existing structure, content and page addresses, Corporate Website Redesign and Modernization starts from $899 (no Turkish VAT for customers outside Türkiye).

For a small, old site, building a new 5-page business site (from $549) may be the better deal. The real advantage of a redesign is that pages, addresses and content already ranking on Google are kept. Send us your site's link and we will tell you in writing which option suits you better.

How much does a multilingual website cost?

Our Multilingual Website Setup starts from $349 (no Turkish VAT for customers outside Türkiye). It makes the site work properly in more than one language: separate addresses for each language, a language switcher, hreflang tags so Google shows the right language in the right country, and separate titles and descriptions in each language.

Translating the texts is separate from the setup, because the cost depends on the number of pages and languages; we quote Website Content Translation separately. We advise against publishing machine translation without editing it; customers abroad notice straight away.

Our own site runs in four languages, Turkish, English, Norwegian and Azerbaijani, and we set up the same system for your site.

How much does an e-commerce website cost?

Our starting prices (no Turkish VAT for customers outside Türkiye): Starter E-Commerce Website $849, Professional E-Commerce Website $1,299, Advanced E-Commerce Website $2,799.

The biggest cost drivers are the number of products and their variants (size, colour), payment and shipping integrations, marketplace connections, integration with accounting or stock software, and special features such as campaigns and coupons.

Besides the build price, budget for running costs: the commission your payment provider takes on each sale, your shipping agreement, product photography and any paid plugin licences. These are not included in our price and are listed separately in the quote. We can help you choose the right package based on your number of products and sales channels.
