For a WordPress website you need the following components.

These are apps and extensions for your websites. Think of functions such as contact form, gallery, etc.

The basic costs for the website are the costs for hosting and domain registration. The average costs for hosting are between 7 and 15 euros per month and the costs for domain registration are on average 7 euros per year. WordPress has many themes available for all users. Some are free, but some cost over $200. Free WordPress themes are great for beginners, but they often don't have the features necessary for a professional website.

What is the price for a website with more functionalities?
The costs for a more professional wordpress website with more functionalities vary depending on the wishes you have for your website.
If you want to do more with your website than just a presentation of your company, you will soon need extra premium plugins or a premium template.
Unlike free WordPress template, the premium templates often come with extra features. For more website features, you need to use a combination of free + paid plug-in add-ons.
It is best to use a premium theme when:
- You are going to use WordPress for a business website or you are considering expanding your WordPress website with complex functions such as e-commerce in the future,
- You want a unique design
- You want your website to support many different features
- You need online support every now and then.
The average costs for premium plugins or templates are 30 to 200 euros. So if you would opt for a premium template + a number of premium plugins (incl. hosting and domain registration), a website quickly costs more than 250 euros.
