The verdict in three sentences
For a freight and logistics company in Rotterdam, a professional site costs 6,000 to 12,000 EUR (about 6,500-13,000 USD) in 2026, with two decisive modules: the multi-step quote form (2,200 EUR) and the connected shipment tracker (3,500 EUR). The real gain isn't traffic but request quality: a multi-step form filters browsers and surfaces usable cases. Companies that structure quoting online report +30% qualified quote requests.
The 2026 quote, item by item
A transport site must convert a busy logistics manager into a precise quote request. Each block has an operational role.
| Item | 2026 range (EUR) | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Core website (6-8 pages) | 6,000 - 12,000 | Credibility, destination SEO |
| Multi-step quote form | 2,200 | Qualify volume, route, deadline |
| Connected shipment tracker | 3,500 | Retain clients, cut calls |
| Destination SEO pages (per batch) | 1,500 | Capture local search |
| Client area (transport documents) | 2,500 | Waybills, invoices, CMR |
| Logistics blog + SEO | 1,800 | Authority and long tail |
A 8,000 EUR core with a quote form (2,200 EUR) and shipment tracker (3,500 EUR) puts the project at 13,700 EUR, deliverable in 7 weeks.
Multi-step form: why it changes everything
A classic contact form surfaces vague requests. A multi-step form structures the request and does the first sales screen.
| Criterion | Simple form | Multi-step form |
|---|---|---|
| Fields requested | Name, email, message | Route, volume, cargo type, deadline |
| Completion rate | High but vague | Targeted, usable cases |
| Qualified requests | Low | +30% (ballpark) |
| Sales processing time | Multiple follow-ups | Direct quote |
| Cost | included | 2,200 EUR |
The multi-step form also cuts back-and-forth: the rep receives a complete case and replies with a quote in one go.
Mini case study
Nadia, sales director of a 40-vehicle regional carrier in Rotterdam, was getting 50 quote requests a month via a simple form, of which only 20 usable (40%). After a 13,700 EUR site with a multi-step form and shipment tracker, volume rises to 55 requests including 33 usable (+30% qualified). With a 22% signing rate and an average margin of 1,400 EUR per contract, she gains +2.9 contracts/month, i.e. about 48,700 EUR of additional annual margin. The site pays for itself in under four months.

FAQ
Why invest in a quote form rather than a simple contact form?
Because it structures the request: route, volume, cargo type and deadline. It surfaces directly usable cases and raises qualified requests by about 30%, for a cost of 2,200 EUR.
Is a connected shipment tracker worth 3,500 EUR?
Yes as soon as you handle regular volume: it cuts inbound tracking calls, reassures the client and sets you apart from competitors still on the phone. It's a direct retention argument.
How long until go-live?
Expect 7 weeks for a site with a multi-step form and shipment tracker. Connecting to your existing tracking tool is the technical step that weighs most on the timeline.
Do destination pages really serve SEO?
Yes: one page per major route (Rotterdam-Antwerp, Rotterdam-Duisburg) captures precise local searches. Budget 1,500 EUR per page batch, with a gradual return over 3 to 6 months of ranking.
What maintenance budget should I plan?
Expect 80 to 180 EUR/month for security, updates and evolving the destination pages. It's essential to keep the shipment tracker reliable and SEO active.
