The figures below are indicative orders of magnitude, rather than regulated tariffs. They may vary depending on the terms and conditions, the sector of activity and the services included.

What factors affect the price of a WordPress website?
1. The number of pages and the structure
A website comprising just a few pages does not cost the same as one that features a wide range of services, covers several geographical areas or contains detailed content. Each page requires a clear structure, appropriate text, visuals and quality checks. A good site architecture makes navigation easier and helps search engines understand what the site has to offer.
2. Design and the level of customisation
A customised and configured theme can help keep costs under control. An interface designed specifically around a visual identity, mock-ups or a more elaborate user journey generally takes longer to develop. The choice should not be limited to appearance: the website must remain clear, accessible and easy to use on mobile devices.
3. Features
A contact form is relatively straightforward. An online shop, a members’ area, a booking system, a price calculator, a payment system or integration with business software all require additional configuration and testing. Set out the essential features from the outset to ensure you receive a comparable quote and avoid any surprises.
4. Content and search engine optimisation
Text, photos, service pages, SEO titles, meta descriptions, internal linking and technical optimisations all affect the time taken to complete the project. A website that is technically live does not, in itself, guarantee visibility on Google. Search engine optimisation requires a strategy tailored to your customers’ search queries, useful content and ongoing monitoring.
5. The timeframe and support
A very tight deadline may require more intensive organisation, provided that the content and approvals are available. WordPress training, help with getting started, post-delivery corrections and support may also affect the cost. Make sure you clarify exactly what is included and the duration of the support provided.

- A single point of contact for your project: You can explain your business, your objectives and your priorities before choosing a package.
- A WordPress approach: The website has been built using a widely used platform to facilitate content management and future updates.
- An SEO foundation built in right from the start: Basic SEO settings are included depending on the package, although this does not guarantee automatic ranking on Google.
- A website designed for mobile devices: Viewing on a smartphone is taken into account in the design and must be checked before delivery.
- Support tailored to two markets: Elvis Web can liaise with companies targeting France or Madagascar and tailor their requirements to suit their specific context.

What costs should you expect after setting up the business?
The initial cost does not necessarily cover all operating costs. Depending on the project, you should set aside a budget for:
| Expenditure item |
Things to check before signing |
| Domain name |
Annual renewal fee and domain holder |
| Web hosting |
Resources, backups, security, renewal and support |
| Premium themes or plugins |
Licence, renewal and terms of use |
| Maintenance |
Updates, backups, monitoring and incident response |
| Ongoing SEO |
Content, optimisation, performance analysis and query tracking |
Ask whether the licences are held by the client or by the service provider – who is responsible for renewing the domain and hosting – and how to retrieve the administrator access details. Clarifying these points helps to avoid misunderstandings and facilitates long-term management.
How do you choose the right budget for your business?
Before requesting quotes, set out the main objective of the website: to generate enquiries, showcase a range of services, sell products or automate part of your business. Then identify the pages required, the essential features, the content already available and any time constraints.
Next, compare the proposals on a like-for-like basis. A cheaper quote may be worthwhile if your requirements are simple and clearly defined. Conversely, a higher quote may be justified by a specific design, business integration, a content strategy or more comprehensive support. The best choice is the one that meets your objectives without adding unnecessary features.

FAQ: The cost of a WordPress website in France
Is it possible to create a WordPress website for less than €1,000?
Yes, some straightforward projects can stay within this budget, particularly when the number of pages is limited and the content is already prepared. However, it is important to check what is included: design, forms, basic SEO, hosting, licences and support.
Can a low-cost WordPress website look professional?
Yes, provided the scope is realistic, the website is well designed and the graphic design choices complement the content. Price alone is not a reliable indicator of quality. Consider the client’s portfolio, the clarity of the quotation, the access provided and the maintenance terms.
Is Google SEO guaranteed when a website is created?
No. Basic SEO optimisations can make it easier for search engines to crawl and understand the site, but visibility also depends on the competition, the quality of the content, the site’s authority, the user experience and time. Be wary of guarantees of a top ranking.
How long does it take to build a WordPress website?
A simple project can be completed in a few days once the scope and content are finalised. A more comprehensive website, or one linked to third-party tools, will take longer. The exact timeframe must be confirmed in the quotation.
How can I get a quote that’s right for my project?
Please describe your business, the type of website you’d like, the number of pages, the features you require and your deadline. Elvis Web will be able to recommend an existing package or draw up a bespoke proposal.
