How much does a website cost in Réunion in 2026?
The price of a website depends less on the number of pages than on three questions: what the site must bring you, who writes the content, and who looks after it once live. This guide details what drives the price, the costs people forget in a quote, and how we price each project

What really drives the price
Two five-page websites can cost very different amounts. The gap almost always comes from the same items
- The goal: present the company, receive quote requests, take appointments or sell online
- The content: copy written by you or by the provider, existing photos or photos to produce
- The features: form, booking, payment, client area, back-office
- The design: adapted template or a mockup designed for your business
- The technical base: mobile speed, structure readable by Google, meta tags and structured data
- Life after delivery: hosting, security, backups and changes
The three ways to build a website
A website builder (Wix, Squarespace, Shopify for sales) costs a monthly subscription and a lot of your time. It is a good option to start if you enjoy doing it yourself, but you are alone for copy, SEO and updates
A freelancer often offers the best entry price. Quality and follow-up depend entirely on the person: ask who hosts the site, who maintains it, and what happens if they become unavailable
An agency or a studio costs more upfront, but brings a written process, a kept deadline and follow-up after launch. It is the right choice when the site must generate enquiries and stay reliable over time
The costs people forget in a quote
The build price is only part of the real cost. Check that these items are quoted, or at least mentioned
- The domain name, renewed every year
- Hosting, often billed separately after the first year
- Security patches and certificate renewals
- Backups, and the person able to restore them
- The price of a change after delivery
- Ownership: who holds the domain, the accounts and the code
How we price
At Manin Studio, a professional landing page is delivered in 7 to 10 jours. It includes the brief, custom design, copy worked with you, booking or form, technical SEO and go live. The amount is set in a firm quote within 48 h after the free diagnostic
Managed hosting, security and monitoring are part of the annual care plan. You have no technical account to manage, and you remain the owner of your site and your data
If your need goes beyond a showcase site (a quote to generate, a schedule, client follow-up), we are talking about a business tool: the quote depends on the process and is set after the diagnostic
The questions to ask before signing
Whatever the provider, these questions avoid most bad surprises
- Are the domain and the site in my name, or can I take them back at any time?
- What exactly does the recurring plan include?
- How much does a copy change or an extra page cost?
- Who writes the copy, and who approves it?
- Is the site fast on a phone, with an average connection?
- How will I be told if the site goes down?
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay every month for a website?
A live website always has a recurring cost: domain name, hosting, security. The question is who handles it. Either you manage it yourself, or an annual plan covers it and someone monitors the site for you
How quickly can a website be live?
For a landing page, expect 7 to 10 jours at Manin Studio after the brief. The real timeline depends mostly on content availability: copy, photos and logo
Is a website enough to be found on Google in Réunion?
A technically clean website is the base, but local visibility is also built outside: Google Business Profile, customer reviews, local directories and mentions on other sites. The site must be ready for all that, it does not replace it
