The honest answer up front
A professional website costs between EUR 2,500 and EUR 50,000 in Germany in 2026 — depending on scope, features and the chosen agency. The range sounds huge but it is explainable: a 5-page business-card site differs fundamentally from a custom WebApp with database, login and AI integration.
