Website Redesign Cost Calculator

Estimate the cost, timeline, complexity and risks of rebuilding your website or migrating to a better CMS.

Planning ranges

Average website redesign cost by complexity

These are planning ranges, not quotes. The actual cost depends on your specific situation — which the estimator above factors in.

Improve current website

€3,000–€8,000

2–5 weeks

The right move when the problems are specific — speed, design, or content structure — and a full rebuild would be overkill.

Website refresh with CMS improvements

€8,000–€18,000

4–8 weeks

A redesign with better CMS editing, improved structure, and more modern tooling. Good for teams that need a cleaner setup without replacing everything.

Full B2B website rebuild

€18,000–€35,000

8–14 weeks

For companies that need a modern website, a proper CMS, better SEO structure, and cleaner content workflows. The most common serious rebuild.

Multilingual CMS migration

€30,000–€60,000

12–20 weeks

Multiple languages with distinct market content make this a serious CMS architecture project. Migration risk, SEO continuity, and editorial workflows all need careful planning.

Complex platform / custom system

€60,000–€100,000+

4–6+ months

This is no longer just a website. ERP integrations, user portals, complex data structures, and large-scale migrations need discovery and architecture work first.

Timeline

What affects how long a website rebuild takes?

Timeline is rarely about development speed. Most delays happen before or around development.

Design availability

Design-ready projects move significantly faster. If design needs to be done as part of the project, add 3–6 weeks minimum.

Content readiness

Ready copy and images for all pages is rare. Most projects discover that content is the bottleneck, not development.

Migration complexity

Migrating a large blog with SEO URLs, custom fields, and redirects takes time to script, test, and validate.

Stakeholder availability

Feedback rounds, sign-offs, and review cycles are often where projects slow down — not the development itself.

Integration scope

Each integration — CRM, ERP, payment, search — adds scoping, testing, and edge-case handling to the timeline.

Risk

Common risks in website rebuilds and CMS migrations

Most of these are avoidable with the right preparation. A technical audit surfaces them before the project starts.

SEO traffic drop

Changing URLs, removing pages, or missing redirect mappings can tank organic traffic. The more you depend on Google, the more this matters.

Content underestimated

Most clients assume content is ready. It rarely is. Writing, restructuring, and approving copy is often the longest part of any rebuild.

Scope creep

Adding features mid-project is the main reason budgets and timelines blow out. A clear brief and a phased approach prevent this.

Integration surprises

Legacy CRMs, custom APIs, and on-premise ERPs often have undocumented behaviour that only shows up during integration testing.

Want a clear scope before committing to a rebuild?

A Website / CMS Technical Audit turns the planning range into a clear scope, architecture recommendation, migration plan, risk assessment, and implementation roadmap.
