Building a professional website often starts with a simple question:How much does it actually cost?

When it leads to Wix websites, the answer is rarely a fixed number.Costs vary depending on structure, functionality, and long-term goals.

This article explains the real costs of a Wix website in 2025, including:

  • Wix & Wix Studio pricing

  • Design and development costs

  • The factors that truly influence the final budget

Important Clarification (Very Important)

Clients only pay for the plan their website needs.They do not pay for design tools or agency workflows.

Wix Studio plans:

  • Cover hosting and platform functionality

  • Are paid directly to Wix

  • Are separate from design & development costs


How This Affects Your Final Website Cost

A website’s total cost is made of two parts:

  1. Platform cost (Wix Studio plan)→ €12 – €32 / month for most businesses

  2. Design & development cost→ Based on structure, CMS, UX, and integrations

This separation ensures:

  • Predictable monthly costs

  • No hidden fees

  • Easy scalability later




What Is Wix Studio and How Does It Affect Cost?

Wix Studio is Wix’s professional environment built for designers and agencies.It enables more advanced, scalable, and future-proof websites.

Key advantages include:

  • Advanced responsive layouts

  • Powerful CMS capabilities

  • Improved performance and scalability

  • Structured collaboration workflows

Wix Studio plans typically start at around €19/month (billed annually) and scale based on usage.

Important clarification:Clients usually do not manage or pay separately for a Wix Studio plan.It is a professional tool that allows better results, not an added client expense.



Design & Development Costs

While platform pricing is relatively fixed, design and development costs vary significantly.

At Vector Developers, projects generally fall into three categories.

Basic Business Website

  • 4–6 pages

  • Clean, professional layout

  • Mobile responsive

  • Basic SEO structure


Starting from €500

Advanced Business Website

  • Custom UX/UI

  • CMS collections

  • Lead generation flows

  • SEO-focused structure

  • Automations or integrations


Starting from €900

Complex or Custom Projects

  • Large CMS systems

  • Multi-language setups

  • Advanced logic and integrations

  • Custom user flows

  • Scalability-focused architecture


€1,500+, depending on complexity



What Actually Drives the Cost?

Visual design is rarely the main factor.The real cost drivers are structural and functional.

These include:

  • Number of pages

  • CMS complexity

  • User journeys

  • Content readiness

  • Integrations (forms, bookings, automations)

  • SEO and scalability requirements

A website that looks simple can often be more complex than one that looks visually rich.



Cheap Websites vs. Smart Websites

A low-cost website often lacks:

  • Strategic structure

  • UX thinking

  • Conversion logic

  • Long-term scalability

A well-planned website focuses on:

  • Clear user journeys

  • Structured content

  • Ease of future updates

  • Long-term return on investment

A website is not just a cost.It is a business tool.



How Much Should You Budget?

The right budget depends on intent.

Ask yourself:

  • Is the website only an online presence?

  • Or should it actively generate leads, sales, and trust?

For most businesses in 2025, a realistic budget is:

€500 – €1,500, plus the Wix plan cost.



Final Thoughts

Wix — and especially Wix Studio — is a powerful platform when used correctly.

A well-built Wix website can:

  • Scale with your business

  • Perform competitively against custom solutions

  • Reduce long-term maintenance costs

Clarity should always come before pricing.
