What is the price of a Wix website?
The cost of a Wix website can range from €0 to several thousand euros, depending on how you build it, the features you need and how much customization is required.
You can build your own website using a free template, pay only for a Wix plan, use a professional template and have it customized, or hire a professional to create the entire website.
There is therefore a solution for almost every budget.
What budget is needed for your website?
The cost of a Wix website depends on several factors
Wix plan
The cost of the platform depends on which editor you use and the features you need.
Other costs
A domain name, professional email address or paid apps may add to the total cost depending on your project.
Website creation
You can build your website yourself for free using a template, or hire a professional to do it for you.
How much does a Wix plan cost?
From $17 per month
The price of Wix depends on the tool you use — Wix Editor, Wix Studio or Wix Harmony — and the features you need. A simple business website will have different requirements from a website with online bookings, payments or e-commerce.
Wix plans and prices change regularly, and Wix also offers introductory deals that can make the first year significantly cheaper. Check the current Wix pricing plans or Wix Studio plans for the latest prices.
Wix also explains the differences between its plans in its guide to Wix website costs.
What other costs should you budget for?
Domain, email, apps...
A Wix plan is not necessarily the only cost involved. The main additional expense is usually the domain name, followed by a professional email address and, depending on the project, paid apps.
Domain name — Wix often includes the first year with some plans, but you will need to pay for renewal afterwards. You can also buy your domain from another registrar and connect it to Wix. This adds an extra step, but is often cheaper. Expect to pay around $10–25 per year for a standard domain.
Professional email — an address such as contact@yourbusiness.com can be purchased separately, either through Wix or another provider. Prices can range from around $2–10 per month per mailbox, depending on the provider and features included, such as cloud storage, aliases or business tools. Wix uses Google Workspace, which is one of the more expensive options. Providers such as Namecheap or Godaddy offer lower-cost alternatives.
Apps — some additional features may require a paid app, particularly for specific business needs. Most standard business websites do not need many paid apps because Wix already includes a wide range of features. E-commerce websites, however, may also involve additional payment-processing fees, usually charged as a percentage of each transaction by providers such as Stripe.
How much does it cost to have a website built?
Between $0 and thousands of dollars
Build the website yourself
If you build your website yourself using a free Wix template, the website creation itself can cost nothing. You will simply need to budget for any Wix plan, domain or other services you choose to use. This is why I offer free Wix templates: you can start with a professionally designed structure and adapt it yourself to your business.
Hire a web designer
If you prefer to save time and have a professional build your website, prices can vary considerably depending on the project. A simple website based on an existing template can cost a few hundred USD, while a more customized website can easily reach several thousand USD. The price usually depends on the number of pages, design requirements, features, content and amount of customization involved.
For more complex projects, a web designer will usually provide a quote based on your specific requirements.
