In 2026, a website in Belgium costs anywhere from €400 to over €150,000, depending on the type of site, how complex it is, and who builds it. The range is that wide because a simple landing page and an e-commerce site plugged into an ERP are not the same object.
What this guide covers for Belgian companies in 2026:
- realistic price ranges,
- concrete examples,
- factors influencing the budget,
- recurring costs,
- optimal budget for your type of business.
The aim is to help you put the right amount into the site, given what you expect it to bring back.

Freelancer, agency or platform: which provider for which budget?
For the same budget, your choice of provider changes what you get:
- Freelancer (€1,000 to €6,000): direct contact with the person building your site, and lighter rates because there is no structural overhead. Check the portfolio, the SEO skills and how available they will be for maintenance.
- Small agency / studio (€3,000 to €10,000): a team covering design, development and content, with a more structured process and usually more predictable timelines.
- Established agency (€10,000 to €50,000 and up): for complex projects, multilingual sites, ERP/CRM integrations, brand governance. Part of what you pay covers project management and guarantees.
- DIY platforms (Wix, Squarespace: €200 to €500 a year): the cheapest on paper, but your own time is not free, and the SEO and performance limits show up quickly once the site has to bring in leads.
In Belgium, the price gap between a freelancer and an agency on the same brief comes mostly from structural overhead. What to compare is the cost per result: a €4,000 site that brings in quote requests every week is cheaper than a €1,500 site that never converts.
WordPress, Wix, Webflow or Astro: which system to choose in 2026?
Quick summary:
- WordPress: flexible and cheap to start with, but it needs regular maintenance.
- Wix / Squarespace: simple to run, limited once SEO matters.
- Webflow: strong on design, less comfortable on very large sites.
- Astro: the fastest of the four, and the best fit for SMEs built around conversion and SEO.

VAT, deductibility and amortization: the real cost for your business
The prices in this guide are excluding VAT, like most B2B quotes in Belgium. Three rules to know:
- 21% VAT on website creation: recoverable if your company is VAT-registered: the real impact on your cash flow is therefore temporary.
- Deductibility: a professional website is a business expense. The build is generally treated as an investment amortized over several years (often 3), to be confirmed with your accountant.
- Recurring costs (hosting, maintenance, SEO): deductible expenses in the current financial year.
In practice, for a VAT-registered company, a €5,000 (excl. VAT) website doesn't "cost" €6,050: the VAT is recovered and the amortization reduces your taxable base.
Grants and funding: what can lighten the bill
Belgium subsidises digitalisation work generously, and plenty of SMEs never claim it:
- Brussels: the Digitalization Grant covers 25 to 70% of digitalization services (including website creation or redesign), with a cap of €10,000 in grants per calendar year.
- Wallonia: no direct grant for the site, but the Digit Online loan from Wallonie Entreprendre funds it at 1.5%, up to €75,000. Business vouchers cover advice and cybersecurity; the digital maturity voucher has been suspended since 12 July 2026.
- Flanders: the kmo-portefeuille funds advice and training linked to your digitalization (pure website creation is generally not eligible).
Careful: in most schemes, the application must be submitted before signing the quote. Detailed guides:
FAQ - Frequently asked questions
Is a €300 website possible?
Yes, but not for a professional site. At that price the performance, the SEO and the security all fall short.
How much does a free website cost?
In reality it costs €500 to €1,500 a year, counting subscriptions, plugins and the limitations you have to work around.
How long does it take to make a site profitable?
It depends on the volume of enquiries the site generates. Rather than a typical duration, track incoming quote requests month by month: the break-even point shows up on your own curve.
Is AI driving down website prices?
No. It raises the value instead, through conversion, support and automation.
Is a website tax-deductible in Belgium?
Yes: the build is a professional investment, amortizable (often over 3 years), and recurring costs are deductible expenses. The 21% VAT is recoverable for VAT-registered companies.
