Why your website shouldn't cost €5,000

April 20, 20264 minEquipo Vexacore

Traditional agencies overcharge for underdelivering. We explain why a professional website can cost a fraction of what they ask.

If you've ever asked a web development agency for a quote, they probably gave you a 4 or 5-figure number and a 2-3 month timeline. They promise "custom design", "optimized user experience" and "comprehensive digital strategy".

Let's be honest: most of those websites end up being a WordPress with an €80 premium theme, three self-updating plugins and a drag-and-drop builder. Do you really think that justifies €5,000?

What building a website actually costs

A professional corporate website — with clean design, SEO, contact form, responsive and admin panel — takes 40 to 80 hours of real work. At €30-40/hour (reasonable rate for a senior developer), we're talking €1,200 to €3,200.

So why do they charge €5,000 or more? Because they pay office rent, an account director, a project manager, "alignment" meetings and a 60% margin. You're not paying for your website — you're paying for their structure.

The alternative

At Vexacore we've eliminated all of that. No unnecessary office, no salespeople, no 5-level hierarchy. We've invested in developing a proprietary system that lets us deliver professional websites in 2 weeks at fixed prices from €450.

It's not that we make cheap websites. It's that others make them expensive.
