Website erstellen lassen Kosten 2025: Was kostet eine professionelle Website wirklich?
"Wie viel kostet eine Website?"
That's like asking "How much does a car cost?" A Smart costs €15,000. A Porsche costs €150,000. Both get you from A to B, but the experience is VERY different.
Here's the brutal truth: Most businesses either overpay for garbage or underpay and get exactly what they paid for.
Let me show you exactly what you should pay, what you get, and how to not get ripped off.

Red Flags: So erkennen Sie unseriöse Angebote#
🚩 Red Flag #1: Zu billig
Angebot: "Custom Website für €299"
Reality: Sie bekommen:
- Template mit Ihrem Logo
- Keine Customization
- Schlechtes Hosting
- Kein Support
🚩 Red Flag #2: Kein klarer Scope
Angebot: "Wir machen Ihre Website für €3,000"
Questions to ask:
- Wie viele Seiten?

- Was kostet extra?
No clear scope = versteckte Kosten später.
🚩 Red Flag #3: Kein Portfolio
Can't show past work = probably not good.
Request:
- 3-5 live websites

- Client references
🚩 Red Flag #4: 100% Vorauszahlung
Normal:
- 30-50% Anzahlung
- 30-40% bei Milestone
- 20-30% bei Launch
Red Flag:

Reality Check:
Good websites take time:
- Landing Page: 1-2 Wochen minimum
- Business Site: 4-6 Wochen
- E-Commerce: 6-10 Wochen

Rush jobs = schlechte Qualität.

Fazit: Was sollten Sie zahlen?#
Here's my honest recommendation:
Lokales Business (Handwerk, Praxis, Restaurant): → Budget: €4,000-8,000 → Timeline: 4-6 Wochen → ROI: 3-6 Monate
E-Commerce / Online Shop: → Budget: €10,000-25,000 → Timeline: 6-10 Wochen → ROI: 6-12 Monate
B2B / Professional Services: → Budget: €8,000-20,000 → Timeline: 6-10 Wochen → ROI: 6-12 Monate
Enterprise / Complex: → Budget: €30,000-80,000 → Timeline: 12-20 Wochen → ROI: 12-24 Monate
Remember:
- Cheapest option = usually not the best
- Most expensive ≠ best quality
- Focus on ROI, not just cost
- Good website pays for itself
A €10,000 website that brings you 10 new customers/month at €1,000 profit each = €120,000/year.
That's a 1,200% ROI in year 1.
Now that's money well spent.
