Best value – Should you make your own website or buy a website?
First-time buyer of a new website: in that case, your big question is probably whether you should make your own website or buy a website? Should you invest time in learning how to build and maintain a website. Or should you delegate the responsibility to a professional programmer. If you have the skills and time, there’s a good chance you can create your new website yourself.
Before you decide to make your own website, we recommend that you consider the following:
-
It takes time to maintain a website
. It takes time and money to maintain a website. Websites require maintenance and you have to deal with ongoing problems that always arise along the way.
That’s why it’s important to ask yourself whether it’s worth building your own website. If you’re already pressed for time, we don’t recommend it. A homemade website will certainly require both energy, time and money.
-
Do you have previous experience working with websites
? It is a great advantage if you have previously worked with the platform on which your website is to be built. If you are familiar with the platform, you should expect to spend a lot of time researching and getting to know the platform. Websites are quite sensitive and small changes can make a big difference.
Therefore, we recommend that you spend time researching and learning how to build a website before you start!. The reason for this is that many websites make critical mistakes at the beginning. Difficult and demanding mistakes that can have a big impact and be time consuming to fix.
- Buying a website is recommended if you want a professional website from day one . Let’s tell it like it is. If you want a website that works well and provides a good user experience from day one, we recommend you buy a website (unless you have a background as a programmer).
What is a professional website price approximately?
What does a professional website cost? It can actually be really difficult to answer what a new website price is, as it depends a lot on what you want.
Several agencies say that they offer a website price starting at, say, 3,000 crowns, but where you have to buy a lot of very important features afterwards. If you don’t buy them, you’ll end up with a site that is far from optimal and also substandard.
That’s not how we do things, as it wastes your time, frustrates you and, not least, gives you poor customer service. When you see our prices, you’ll know we’re committed to transparency. A company website price should in our world be transparent, otherwise it is the start of a bad relationship.

The price of setting up a website depends on how professional a product you want
Website prices depend first and foremost on whether you want to buy a new website or optimise a website. However, the same applies if you want to optimise your website or want to buy a new website. The price depends on how professional and advanced you want your website to be. The more requirements and wishes you have for your website, the more expensive your website will be.
But what makes a website “professional”?
We believe that the professionalism of a website is determined by its features and design. The website should be receiver engaging in its design, it should be user friendly and easy to navigate around. Second, the website must meet both your own and your visitors’ requirements for the website. These requirements are often about the functionality of the website.
Functionality is about whether the website can do the job that is expected. For example, is it possible to search for specific topics or words in a search box? Is it possible to change the language from Danish to English on the website? These are just a few examples of the features that influence the price of a website.
These functions are also called special functions, and there are many more than those mentioned.
Here’s a list of some of the many special features and general factors that influence the final price of a website.
These factors determine your website price:
– Number of subpages
– Search field
– Customer login / Customer club
– Cookie Module
– booking system
– language shift
– Integrated newsletter
– Pop ups for signups
– design
The price of a simple information website
A basic information website can cost as little as 1499 DKK. It’s cheap, but is it good? If you choose the cheap option, you are expected to do much of the work on the website yourself.
But then again, there are also expensive options on the market.
You can buy complete packages where, without lifting a finger, you get a beautiful information website with an appealing design,
A very simple and basic information website consists of the essentials – text, images and contact details. This solution is good if you want your visitors to know basic information about you, your location, how to get in touch with you and so on.
The price of a professional WordPress website
The majority of professional WordPress websites cost between €10,000-50,000, but they can easily cost much more! As described earlier, the price depends very much on how professional and functional your website needs to be.
But why WordPress?
WordPress is preferred by the majority of the world’s programmers. We’ve been making websites in WordPress for a long time, and although we’ve tried many website platforms, we still prefer WordPress to this day.
The advantages of WordPress are that it is open source and is supported by many developers, which is why the platform has a large community. WordPress is also future-proof, as it is continuously developed in and on the platform. All major services have integrations to WordPress, and you have 100% freedom to design your website. There are many options and very few restrictions, so you can get your website exactly the way you want it.
The downside is that WordPress can seem overwhelming to get started with. The platform itself can be confusing at first, because features and integrations are already implemented that can put many people off the platform. Luckily, we are experts and will be happy to help you.
The price of a WordPress website varies depending on what your website will contain. As you can see from the table, many agencies offer WordPress websites, but the cost of websites varies.
Be aware of extra purchases
With most agencies, it’s not “just” the website you’re buying. There are usually other integrations, implementations and services included in the package when you buy a website. It can be either facebook integration, SEO, training, special features and etc.
Our recommendation is that you find out exactly what you need. This reduces your costs and gives you an overview of what you have implemented and what is missing.
As the table below illustrates, you can buy a WordPress website from 3.800 DKK up to 140.000 DKK. In doing so, it is important that you note everything you want your website to be able to do. This could be a website where your customers can contact the company and sign up for the newsletter. In this way, you simplify the work of the agency with which you are in dialogue and you avoid sudden discrepancies arising during the process.

The price of a professional website with Webshop
The price of a professional webshop website varies depending on integrations, size and wishes for what your webshop should contain. We want to help you understand the process behind pricing webshop websites. It requires that you understand what you are paying for and why you are paying for it. Therefore, you must first understand the various factors that drive prices.
Webshop websites are not very different from informative websites as we know them. However, a webshop requires more than an informative page. You may have built an information website before, and you know how an information website can be built on different platforms.
However, a webshop website requires knowledge of a number of other platforms. In general, the price of a professional webshop website varies from 20.000 DKK up to many thousands of DKK. The price is assessed according to the complexity of the project and the platform you choose(shopify, magento, WordPress, etc.), as well as the features you want the webshop to include.
Factors that determine the price of a professional website with webshop:
- Functionality: if your webshop needs to have unique functions or be programmed with certain features, this will increase the price.
- Design: the price depends on whether you want a unique website design for your webshop or whether you want to use a ready-made design theme.
- Importing data: in some cases it is necessary to import product data or data from previous customers and orders, which will automatically lead to an increase in the price of a webshop.
- Choice of agency: it is often the case that agencies with many years of experience in webshop development cost more on an hourly basis. The reason for this is that you are guaranteed a webshop that is implemented correctly, is user-friendly and works.
- Marketing: if you want a marketing plan (or content marketing plan) that will drive traffic and visitors to your webshop, it will cost extra. But we think it’s a good investment! Why have a website if nobody visits it?
As you can read, there is a lot to consider when buying a professional webshop. There are a lot of agencies on the market that build professional webshops. The key is always to find out what your webshop needs . This will have an impact on your final webshop website price.
Maybe you already have a shop? Here you can read how to make a webshop optimization.
Now you’ve got website prices covered – but remember the invisible costs!
There are more costs associated with having a website than just the purchase price. You need to remember the hosting price and the price of registering your domain.
It typically costs between 30 and 300 DKK per year to have your domain registered. It’s not that easy with the hosting price.
Hosting is about your website having a place to stay before it becomes visible on the internet. Therefore, as a website owner, you need to rent a web space.
A webhotel is a hotel for websites. Here you rent a space for your website on the hotel server. There are many web hosting providers, and they vary widely in price and services.
A cheap web space can be tempting! But it’s not necessarily the best option for you. When choosing a web space, you need to keep 2 things in mind:
- Does your web host have enough resources for your website?
- What are the support options of the web hosting?
Space and support are two important factors. Cheap web hosts don’t typically offer phone support or the like, which can be extremely necessary if you’re ever in a pinch.
Next, the web host must have the resources to handle your website. For example, it affects how much traffic (number of visitors) you can have on your website.
Checklist – 5 things you should be aware of before buying your website
A website easily tells visitors who your company is and what value you stand for. In other words, the website communicates on behalf of your business. The images, texts and videos presented on the website are your company’s personality. This means that as soon as a visitor lands on your website, it’s up to your company to present its values and meet the expectations of the visitor.
Therefore, it is crucial that the fundamental elements are in place. For example, visitors should be able to access the website via a mobile device and navigate the website seamlessly. Surprisingly, many websites today still do not invest time in strengthening their website and creating a good user experience. This often leads to fewer conversions and fewer sales!
Here are the five key points we want you to know before you buy your website:
- Platforms: Should your website be on WordPress, Wix, SquareSpace or Shopify? It’s important for you to immerse yourself in which platform you want to have your website on. The reason for this is that each platform offers a range of different features, customer support and methods for maintaining your website. We recommend that you investigate the pros and cons of each company and compare costs and features based on what you think you need to include in the package.
- You can maintain the website yourself: it’s easy to buy a website. On the other hand, maintaining and editing the website can be a challenge if you don’t have the right skills.
Therefore, it is crucial that you examine how easy or difficult the editing process is and whether you are able to complete the task. Do you want your website to always work smoothly and be constantly updated without you having to worry about it? Then this is also something the various website providers can do for you. It’s all about website maintenance and here again prices vary widely.
- What is the purpose of the website: it is important to clarify what you want to achieve with the website. Do you want media attention, increased sales or more contact with your customers? Do you want your website to be just a permanent place where your customers can find your contact details, or do you want to communicate your company’s stories, values, goals and missions.
- Website design: you’ve probably given some thought to how you want your website to look. But challenges and problems usually crop up during the process – and that’s only natural.
Therefore, it is important for us that you are aware that a website is never perfect. There will always be little bugs that need fixing. However, it is important that your website consistently follows a specific theme so that visitors can distinguish the company from the website. In addition, it strengthens the company brand when the website design is good and professional.
- Content: you can’t get around the content part! Content is your website’s diet, and what you fill your website with determines how healthy your website is.
Content (good content) is an important tool in the process of interacting with your customers/visitors and retaining them on the site once they have landed there! We don’t want your visitors to leave the site before they’ve even visited it! It is therefore essential that you think about how your website should be structured and what content it should contain.
We recommend that you draw up a content marketing plan to help you organise your content and create a good structure. Do you find it confusing? Then there is also the possibility to delegate this task to professionals. We love producing value-added content for websites. That’s why we’re happy to help you or give you some free advice along the way.

Why do you show the cost of websites at all?
Simply because we want to do it differently. Many companies do not show their prices because they can then sell the exact same services at different prices. Yes, it may maximise the company’s profit, but it’s actually cheating the customers. One customer pays 9.000,- another pays 15.000 for the exact same website.
We simply don’t want to do that, and the best way is to show our prices. We hope it finds you well. We are ready to help you, and not least to listen to your company’s story.
