Softcrust builds custom WordPress, Shopify and WooCommerce websites for businesses in Germany. Each project covers design, development, mobile speed and the legal pages German sites need, so the site can go live without a last-minute scramble over Impressum or cookie consent.
Below you will find typical prices in euros, the German rules that affect a website, how a project runs and what to ask before you hire a web developer.
Website development turns a design into a working site: front-end code, a content management system, forms, payment, testing and launch. It also covers the parts German visitors and regulators look for, such as an Impressum, a privacy policy and a working cookie banner.
German searchers often use their own words for the same service, such as Webentwicklung (about 1,600 searches a month) and Website erstellen lassen (about 2,900), according to KWS Everywhere. English phrases like “website development Germany” and “web development company in Germany” are searched less but by buyers who often work in English. We build sites for both groups.
German price guides give wide ranges, because scope decides the price. Published figures for 2026 look like this:
| Project type | Typical price | What drives it |
|---|---|---|
|
Template-based company site |
From about €800 |
An existing theme adjusted to your branding |
|
Portfolio or small brochure site |
€1,500 to €3,000 |
A few pages and simple forms |
|
Custom company website |
€3,000 to €10,000 |
Custom design, SEO basics and integrations |
|
Online store on Shopify |
€1,500 to €20,000+ |
Catalog size, apps and system connections |
Hourly rates in the same guides run from €60 to €120 for freelancers and €80 to €150 for agencies, but the total effort matters more than the rate. Prices are net, so add 19% VAT. Our quotes follow these ranges, and we confirm a fixed amount once the scope is written. Ask every provider to list hosting, maintenance and domain renewals separately.
Business websites in Germany need an Impressum that visitors can reach in two clicks or fewer. Missing or incomplete details are a common reason for warning letters (Abmahnungen) from competitors.
Non-essential cookies and tracking need consent before they run. We connect the banner to analytics and test with consent granted and denied, so you do not lose data or break the law.
The privacy policy must name the tools you use, such as analytics, forms and fonts. We list them from the finished site, not from a template.
From 28 June 2025 the German accessibility law (BFSG) applies to many online shops and consumer services. Check whether it covers you. We build with proper headings, contrast, keyboard use and form labels.
Shops selling to consumers must show prices including VAT and state shipping costs clearly. We build these details into product and checkout pages.
This is general information, not legal advice, so ask a German lawyer to review anything sensitive in your industry.
We work remotely with businesses in Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne, Stuttgart and Düsseldorf, and with companies elsewhere in Germany. Projects run through a private staging site, shared documents and scheduled calls, so you can review work without meeting in person.
Parts Bazar sells automotive parts to buyers in several countries. We built the full website and then grew its search visits from 51 to 690 a month in four months with SEO and content. The case study has the details.
Every site ships with an Impressum page, a privacy policy and a consent banner that is wired to analytics, so tracking only runs after a visitor agrees.
We choose the platform by how you sell and who edits the site. German shops show prices with VAT, delivery times and return terms next to each product.
We build in German, English or both, with language tags and a switcher. We agree who writes the German copy before design begins.
At launch, redirects, analytics and the sitemap are set up, and your team gets a short training session. Maintenance for updates, backups and security is optional.

Published guides put template-based company sites from about €800, custom company websites at €3,000 to €10,000 and Shopify stores from €1,500 to over €20,000. Prices are net, so add 19% VAT, and hosting and maintenance are usually extra.
A company site usually takes 4 to 8 weeks from discovery to launch. Online stores and sites with several integrations can take 6 to 12 weeks. Late content from the client is the most common cause of delay.
If your customers search in German, yes. Pages in German convert better for German searchers, and terms such as Webentwicklung and Website erstellen lassen are searched far more than the English equivalents. We can build in German, English or both.
Most business sites need an Impressum, a privacy policy and a cookie banner that works. Online shops must also show prices with VAT and shipping costs, and some now fall under the BFSG accessibility law. Ask a German lawyer to review your case.
Choose WordPress for a service business or a content-heavy site, and Shopify for a store that wants fast setup. WooCommerce suits custom products or B2B pricing. We recommend one after a short discovery call.
You should. Ask every provider in writing who owns the code, design files, domain and hosting account. With Softcrust projects you receive admin access at launch.
Not if the rebuild is handled carefully. We keep important URLs, add 301 redirects for any that change, carry over titles and descriptions, and check Search Console after launch.
Last reviewed October 2026. Prices are market ranges from published guides and change with scope.
Your website is where ads, search results and referrals end up. If it loads slowly or hides the Impressum, other marketing spend is wasted. See our Google Ads management in Germany if you plan paid traffic too.
