How much does a website typically cost?

In Turkey in 2026, a realistic corporate website for most small-to-mid businesses runs 15,000–60,000 TL. This is an indicative range that varies with page count, whether custom design is required, and integrations.

Is the cheapest option always the smart choice?

No. The cheapest quotes often don't hand you source-code control, skip post-launch support, or omit basic technical SEO. Short-term savings can turn into a full rebuild cost later — evaluate scope before price.

What's typically NOT included in a quoted price?

Most quotes bill hosting, domain, email setup, stock imagery/licensing, copywriting and monthly post-launch maintenance separately. Always confirm in writing whether these are included before signing.

How much more expensive is e-commerce than a corporate site?

Due to product catalogs, payment integration, shipping/inventory management and security requirements, e-commerce sites typically cost 1.5–3x a comparable corporate site — and the gap grows with the number of products.

web design prices 2026: a realistic budget guide

published: July 18, 2026last updated: July 18, 2026

In Turkey in 2026, website prices fall into three tiers: DIY/template sites run roughly 4,000–12,000 TL per year, mid-tier template-based corporate sites 15,000–40,000 TL, and custom-designed agency builds 60,000–200,000+ TL. E-commerce, multi-language and integrations push prices up; hosting and maintenance are separate, ongoing costs.

"How much does a website cost" has no single right answer, because wildly different products are sold under the same label — a five-minute template setup and a months-long custom build are both called "a website," yet their prices can differ tenfold.

This guide covers the realistic 2026 Turkey price bands for each tier, and what a quoted number actually includes versus what it doesn't. Figures are indicative estimates that vary by industry, city and agency.

step by step

DIY / template (4,000–12,000 TL/year)
Sites you set up yourself on platforms like Wix or Shopify, dropping your logo and copy onto a ready template, fall in this band. The annual platform subscription and domain are included; there's no design labor — you or your team spend the time instead.
template-based corporate site (15,000–40,000 TL)
A freelancer or small studio customizing a ready theme with your brand across 5–10 pages typically prices here. Logo, colors and content are adapted to your brand, but the underlying structure is a pre-built theme.
custom-designed corporate/agency build (60,000–200,000+ TL)
Sites with an interface designed from scratch, custom development, full brand-identity alignment and a technical SEO foundation start at the low end of this band. Page count, animation and integrations can push the upper bound well beyond it.
e-commerce is an extra layer of cost
Product catalogs, payment integration, shipping/inventory management and security requirements typically push e-commerce sites to 1.5–3x the cost of an equivalent corporate site. More products mean more data entry and testing time.
integrations and custom features multiply price
Booking systems, multi-language support, CRM connections and custom form flows are each separate line items. Asking "is this included?" for each one during quoting prevents surprise invoices later.
don't forget ongoing costs
Hosting (500–5,000 TL/year depending on traffic), domain (150–500 TL/year) and maintenance/updates (500–5,000 TL/month) continue after the site is delivered. Focusing only on the one-time design fee and forgetting these is a common mistake.
compare quotes by scope, not just the total
Look beyond the total number to page count, revision rounds, delivery timeline and post-launch support period. Two quotes with identical totals can cover very different amounts of work.

what actually drives price: scope, not the package name

Two quotes both labeled "corporate website" can be 20,000 TL and 150,000 TL respectively — and both can be correctly priced, because their scope differs. The real variables aren't the package name but five factors.

Page count and content depth, whether e-commerce is involved, custom design versus a ready theme, third-party integration needs (CRM, accounting, booking, payments), and the length of post-delivery revision/support. Ask about each of these five separately when evaluating a quote.

page count: the gap between 5 pages and 30 pages directly drives design and content time
e-commerce: product catalog, payment and shipping integration add 20,000–100,000+ TL
custom design: an interface built from scratch takes 2–4x longer than customizing a theme
integrations: CRM, booking systems, multi-language support are each separate line items
support period: whether post-launch support is 1 month or 6 months free changes the price

red flags in cheap quotes

A quote well below market average isn't always a sign of bad intent, but it often points to recurring issues: your site may live on a closed platform whose source code you don't own, every small change after delivery may carry a separate fee, or mobile responsiveness and basic technical SEO (page speed, structured data, clean URL structure) may have been skipped.

The critical question: "who keeps control of the source code and domain if the relationship ends?" If there's no clear answer, the quote is risky regardless of price.

how to evaluate a quote

Choose the clearest scope, not the lowest price. A good quote states the delivery date, number of revision rounds included, exactly which pages and features are covered, who owns hosting/domain, and the length of post-delivery support — in writing. If these are missing, ask before signing.

key takeaways

In 2026, website prices cluster into three tiers: DIY (4,000–12,000 TL/year), template-based (15,000–40,000 TL) and custom/agency (60,000–200,000+ TL).
Price is driven by page count, whether e-commerce is involved, custom design versus a ready theme, and integration needs.
Hosting, domain and maintenance are separate, ongoing costs beyond the one-time design fee.
Prioritize clear scope and clarity on source-code/domain ownership over the lowest price.
When evaluating a quote, get page count, revision rounds, delivery timeline and support period in writing.
