How much does a website cost in Moldova in 2026? Guide with real prices
How much does a website cost in Moldova in 2026?
If you've searched Google for "how much does a website cost in Moldova" and got vague or extreme answers, you're not alone. Prices vary enormously and are rarely explained clearly.
Why do prices vary so much?
The price of a website depends on a few factors:
Website type — a simple landing page and an online store with 500 products have nothing in common in terms of effort.
Technology used — a WordPress site with a predefined theme costs less to build, but can cost more long-term through plugins, security issues, and frequent updates. A custom-coded site is more expensive initially, but faster, more secure, and easier to extend.
Who builds it — a freelancer, a small agency, or a large agency have completely different cost structures.
Content — if you provide the text and photos yourself, the cost goes down. If you need copywriting or photography, the price goes up.

What's usually not included in the price

WordPress vs custom code — which is really cheaper?
| | WordPress | Custom code | |---|---|---| | Initial cost | Lower | Higher | | Premium plugins | 50–200 EUR/year | 0 EUR | | Security risk | High | Low | | Speed | Average | Fast | | Customization | Limited | Unlimited |
A WordPress site with premium plugins can cost 200–400 EUR/year in licenses, plus the risk of being hacked. WordPress is the target of over 90% of CMS attacks.
How to choose correctly
Whatever you choose, always ask for a written contract with exact deliverables, clearly specified timeline, the number of revisions included, and details about who owns the code after delivery.
