How Much Does a Website Cost in Greece in 2026?

It's the question I get before any other. It's also the question that gets the vaguest answers: "it depends", "send us your requirements", "let's talk".

It does depend. That doesn't mean I can't give you numbers. Below are the prices that hold in the Greek market in 2026, what moves them up and down, and the part that usually stays out of the conversation until you discover it yourself: what you pay every year after launch.

Two things first. All prices are excluding VAT, the way they're quoted in the market. And there is no official price list for web design in Greece, nor a body that keeps one. These numbers come from price pages published by Greek agencies and freelancers themselves. I'm giving them because they agree with each other, not because they're official.

The three categories

Almost every project lands in one of three.

Landing page or one-pager: €300 to €600

One page, one job. You use it for a campaign, a product, an event. Delivered in one to two weeks. If you're running ads and sending that traffic to your homepage, this is the first thing to fix, and I've written about what a landing page actually needs on it separately.

Corporate site: €500 to €1,500

Five to eight pages, contact form, basic SEO, content you provide. This is where the large majority of local businesses land: engineering offices, shops, workshops, service providers.

Above it sits a second band, €2,000 to €5,000, where you get custom design instead of a template, a second language, a blog with a CMS, animations. You don't automatically need it because you're a serious business. You need it when the site is your main sales channel, or when you're selling outside Greece.

E-shop: €1,500 to €8,000

The range is wide because e-shops differ enormously. A store with 30 products and two shipping options has nothing in common with one running 800 SKUs, an ERP and invoicing.

• €1,500 to €2,500: small catalog, ready-made theme, basic setup.
• €2,500 to €8,000: custom design, courier and invoicing integrations, filters, multiple payment methods.
• €8,000 and up: ERP sync, B2B price lists, hundreds of SKUs, marketplaces.

The hard part of a Greek e-shop is never the design. It's everything else, and that's where most of the time goes. I've described it in the Zanos Publication case study, where the bulk of the work was shipping and invoicing, not pages.

What moves the price

Content, first and by a distance

If you have copy ready and proper photos, the project moves faster and costs less. If it all has to be written from scratch or shot, both the cost and the timeline go up.

This is also where most projects stall. What you need to have gathered before you start is in the guide for new entrepreneurs.

A second language: €300 to €1,500 extra

It isn't just translation. It's a double URL structure, hreflang so Google understands which page is for whom, separate meta per language, and then the translation itself.

One thing I never do: auto-translation on a live site. Visitors spot it immediately, and Google prefers original content per language.

E-shop integrations

This is where international articles stop being useful to you, because what a Greek e-shop needs doesn't exist anywhere else:

• myDATA (ΑΑΔΕ): automatic transmission of every invoice to the tax authority. Mandatory, not optional.
• Couriers: ACS, ELTA Courier, Speedex, BoxNow, Skroutz Last Mile. Shipping calculation and voucher printing.
• Payment methods: Viva, Stripe, PayPal, and cash on delivery, which is still expected here.
• ERP sync (Soft1, Entersoft): adds €500 to €2,000 depending on how deep the sync goes.
• XML feeds for Skroutz and BestPrice, which need maintaining afterwards.

SEO isn't an extra

Correct titles, meta descriptions, sitemap, schema, speed. These go in from the start or they don't go in at all. Done afterwards they cost more, because first someone has to find what's broken.

If you want to see where your current site stands before making any decision, run it through the PageSpeed Insights guide.

The part you learn later: yearly costs

The build price is the number you negotiate. The yearly costs are the number you pay forever.

.gr domain: around €25 per two years on renewal. There are first-registration offers from €7, but renewal is the number that matters.

Hosting: from €42 a year for a basic plan, €120 to €250 a year for something genuinely fast. For an e-shop with traffic, €25 to €40 a month and up.

Platform, if you're not paying for hosting: Framer from $10 a month, Webflow from $15, Shopify from $39. These are US list prices in dollars, so add conversion and VAT. All three changed during 2026, so check the official pricing pages before you rely on a figure.

Maintenance: €200 to €1,000 a year, depending on what's running. Updates, backups, security monitoring, small fixes. On WordPress it's necessary. On Framer or Webflow the platform handles most of it, which is one of the reasons I build most projects there.

Plugin licenses: €100 to €300 a year on a simple site, €200 to €600 on an e-shop.

Transaction fees if you're selling: around 1.5% to 2% with Viva, 1.4% plus €0.25 with Stripe for European cards, over 3% with PayPal. At volume this is your biggest yearly cost and usually the last one you look at.

SSL: free. If someone bills you separately for it, look elsewhere.

Why a lot of people expect to pay €700

There's a reason the market has an odd mental floor around €600 to €700.

The «Ψηφιακά Εργαλεία ΜμΕ» (Digital Tools for SMEs) programme gave small businesses a €630 voucher at a 90% subsidy rate, with €700 maximum eligible spend. Around 64,300 businesses were approved. Building an e-shop was explicitly an eligible expense. For two years, dozens of providers advertised "a website with a 90% subsidy", and that stuck.

The programme has closed. Payments and completions ended in late June 2026. If someone offers it to you today, ask which call they're referring to.

I'm keeping it here because it explains something useful: when you hear "surely a website doesn't cost more than €700", that isn't an arbitrary number. It's a voucher that expired.

Greek prices aren't US prices

Most articles you'll find about website cost are American, and their numbers don't apply here.

In the US, a professional small-business site runs $3,000 to $10,000, and a freelancer charges $50 to $150 an hour. The equivalent Greek custom build, €2,000 to €5,000, is roughly half.

That doesn't mean anyone is overcharging or working for free. It means Greece is a cheaper market. If a US article left you thinking a serious site costs $8,000, you now know why the quotes you're getting look different.

Freelancer or agency

A freelancer typically comes in 30% to 40% cheaper, because there's no office, no team and no overhead on top. You get the same person throughout and you talk to them directly.

An agency has people for each part and keeps going if someone leaves. You need that on large projects with many parallel moving pieces.

For a corporate site or a mid-sized e-shop, the difference is mostly in the price, not the result.

How you pay

The norm in the Greek market is 50% upfront, 50% on delivery. If someone asks for the full amount before you've seen anything, that's a reason to think again.

Ask three more things before you sign, because these are the ones that hurt later:

1. Will the domain and hosting be in my name?
2. Will I be able to change copy and photos myself?
3. What exactly does support after launch include, and for how long?

The real question

The most expensive website isn't the one with the highest price. It's the one that gets rebuilt in two years.

If you pay €400 for something slow that Google can't find and you can't edit yourself, you didn't save money. You postponed the cost. I've seen it often enough to write a whole article about it, the 5 dangers of a "free" website.

The right question isn't "how much does it cost". It's "what does this site need to do for me, and what does it cost to do that properly". If your site's job is to answer the same phone calls you take every day, that job has a price.

I start at €500 for a website and €1,500 for an e-shop. What each one includes is on the services page.
