How much does a website cost in Malta?

The short answer

A small business website in Malta starts from EUR 600 as a one-off, and an online store from EUR 3,000, depending on how many pages it has and whether it needs to sell anything.

These are our starting prices for the basic package, agreed in writing before work begins. Any additional features are quoted according to your needs and agreed first, so the price does not grow once the job is underway.

What each tier costs, and who it suits

Starter, from EUR 600

Up to five pages, live in one to two weeks. This is the right size for a business that needs to exist properly online: who you are, what you do, and how to reach you. Most trades, consultants and small practices need nothing more than this.

Business, from EUR 1,300

Up to twelve pages, live in two to three weeks. Room for individual service pages, which matters if you want each service to be findable on its own in search rather than buried in one long page.

Online Store, from EUR 3,000

Unlimited products, live in four to six weeks. Payments, product management and checkout. The jump in price over a brochure site is mostly the commerce side: products, tax handling, payment setup and testing that money actually arrives.

What is included at every price

• A design built for phones as well as computers
• Contact and enquiry forms
• Basic search engine setup so the site can be found
• The first year of hosting, your domain and email
• An allowance for small text and image changes each month

From year two, hosting renews annually at the rate of the plan included with your package. That is what keeps the site, the domain and the email working.

What pushes the price up

The starting prices above cover the basic build. Any additional features, such as a booking and appointments system, a second language, extra pages or a branding kit, are quoted according to your needs and agreed in writing before any work begins.

Anything can be added after launch. You are not locked into what you picked on day one.

Why quotes vary so much between suppliers

Three things usually explain a wide spread on the same brief. First, whether hosting, domain and email are included or billed separately afterwards. Second, whether the price is fixed or an hourly estimate that can drift. Third, whether anybody is there when something breaks a year later, and whether that costs extra.

A cheap build with no support and separate hosting can easily cost more over three years than a fixed price that includes both. Ask for the three year cost, not the build price.
