Webshop build costs for SMB: what to expect in 2026

From-prices at a glance

At Alt F Awesome, SMB webshop and product builds start from €4,000 for a polished Shopify or headless storefront with real architecture, not a prompt-generated template.

B2B portals with custom payment terms and design systems reused from B2C (like MOSJ Atelier) shipped in 2 weeks without Shopify Plus.

Full platform relaunches with CMS migration and search (like &C / andc.tv) typically land between €15,000 and €40,000 depending on content volume.

What you are paying for

Transparent pricing means naming what is in scope:

  • Discovery and fixed scope in one intake call, not a six-week deck
  • Senior build and integration work, not junior execution with account overhead
  • Production architecture: payments, SEO foundations, analytics, and handover docs
  • Optional scale-up with our partner network for data, ERP, or custom backends

Agency vs. freelancer vs. fixed-package studio

Traditional agencies often quote €25,000-€80,000+ with multi-month timelines and retainers. Freelancers can be cheaper upfront but continuity and integration depth vary wildly.

We sit in the middle: senior craft, startup speed, fixed packages from €2,500-€7,500+ with clear delivery windows (days to weeks, not quarters).
