A website in Geneva starts at CHF 200 with Digital Swiss Agency for a one-page brochure site, fully designed and put online. A multi-page site costs more depending on how many pages and features you need; an online shop is significantly higher. On the Geneva market there is no reference price: depending on the provider and the scope of the project, budgets quoted for a simple brochure site can run into several thousand francs. This page explains where that gap comes from and what actually drives the final figure.
Price ranges, no smoke and mirrors
These are the orders of magnitude we work with. They are starting points: the exact price for your project is confirmed in advance, in a free quote, before anything is signed.
- One-page brochure site: from CHF 200. A single page organised into sections — introduction, services, contact — ideal for a freelancer, a tradesperson or a small practice that simply needs a clean presence on Google.
- Multi-page brochure site: from that base, the price rises with the number of pages, the amount of content to produce and the features added (forms, online booking, blog, a second language).
- E-commerce site: noticeably higher. It involves a product catalogue, payments, shipping costs, order emails and stock. The price depends directly on the number of products and how complex your selling rules are.
- Redesign of an existing site: highly variable. Starting from a healthy foundation costs less than a brand-new site; taking over a poorly built one sometimes costs more.
If you are torn between a single page and a full structure, our article on one-page versus multi-page sites for small businesses sets out the real consequences of that choice, for both budget and search rankings.
What genuinely changes the price
The number of pages
This is the first factor. Every page needs a structure, text, images and optimisation. Going from one page to ten does not multiply the bill by ten, but it does raise it steadily and predictably.
Content: supplied or created
If you provide your own text and photographs, the work is limited to layout. If the copy has to be written, the visuals produced or a photo shoot arranged, that is added to the quote. It is the item small businesses most often underestimate when comparing two offers.
Selling online
A shop is not a brochure site with an extra button. Payment, VAT, delivery, order handling and returns: every selling rule turns into configuration work. That is precisely why the gap between a brochure site and an e-commerce site is so wide.
Multiple languages
In Geneva, many businesses need at least two languages. Each additional language doubles the volume of content to write, proofread and optimise. We favour professional translation over automatic translation: a native reader spots the difference immediately.
Taking over what already exists
A domain name already purchased, existing hosting, an old site to migrate, business email addresses that must not be cut off: inheriting an existing setup requires checks nobody sees, but which take time. Our article on redesigning a WordPress site, step by step and cost by cost describes that work in detail.
What the quoted price includes
A price only means something if you know what it covers. With us, a quote for a website in Geneva always includes:
- design and build, displaying correctly on mobile, tablet and desktop;
- SEO fundamentals: titles, descriptions, page structure and loading speed;
- going live, pre-launch testing and connecting your domain name;
- a site you own outright, with no mandatory subscription just to access it.
What is not included is written down just as plainly: advanced copywriting, photography, advertising campaigns and monthly maintenance are separate lines you are free to accept or decline. Our affordable website offer is built on that principle: a clear scope, not a headline price followed by extras.
The yearly costs to plan for
No website is entirely free to run. Two costs come back every year, whoever builds your site:
- the domain name (your .ch or .com address): a few dozen francs a year depending on the extension;
- hosting: the amount depends on the provider and the type of site — a brochure site uses very little, a shop needs more.
On top of that, if you want them, come technical updates and backups. These are options, not obligations in disguise. For a wider view of the budgets Swiss small businesses talk about, read the price of a website for a Swiss SME.
Why our prices stay low
The question deserves an honest answer. An agency based in the city centre, with a large team, scoping meetings and several layers of sign-off, carries higher overheads, which logically end up in the quote. That model makes sense for a complex project. It makes far less sense for a freelancer who needs five clean, well-ranked pages.
We chose a lean structure and well-drilled methods, which lets us offer low prices without cutting the things that matter: clean code, fast loading and search visibility. You can judge the result for yourself in our portfolio.
