The verdict in three sentences
A premium website for a MICE event agency costs 12,000 to 25,000 EUR excl. VAT (about 10,500 to 21,500 GBP) in 2026, with a timeline of around 7 weeks, and London agency rates sit in the same range as Paris. What justifies the budget is video case studies, bilingual destination pages and a qualified brief form (budget, dates, headcount) that sorts requests before the first call. With an average seminar worth tens of thousands of euros, a single contract won through the site usually pays for it.
What each website tier includes
MICE buyers (HR, communications, procurement) compare 3 to 5 agencies before a tender. The site's job is to get through the shortlist: it must prove you can run 200 people in Lisbon or a 1,500-delegate convention, and show credible references.
| Feature | Essential | Premium | Premium+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pages | 10 to 12 | 18 to 25 | 30 and more |
| Case studies | 4 with text and photos | 8 with video | 12 with video and key figures |
| Destination pages | 3 | 8 | 15 with filters |
| Second language | No | Yes | Yes + 3rd language |
| Brief form | Simple | Qualified (budget, dates, headcount) | Qualified + CRM scoring |
| Custom animation and design | Light | Advanced | Signature |
| Budget (EUR excl. VAT) | 12,000 to 15,000 | 16,000 to 21,000 | 22,000 to 25,000 |
Video is usually not included in the site price: a 60 to 90 second edit per event from existing footage costs 800 to 2,000 EUR excl. VAT, a dedicated shoot 3,000 to 6,000 EUR.
The brief form, the commercial core of the site
Most MICE agencies receive vague requests ("seminar in June, can you send a proposal?") that cost hours of qualification. A step-by-step form collects the decisive information and pushes it into the CRM.
| Brief field | Why it matters | Example threshold |
|---|---|---|
| Event type | Routes to the right project manager | Seminar, convention, incentive |
| Headcount | Determines possible venues | Under 50, 50 to 200, over 200 |
| Dates and flexibility | Venue availability | Fixed, within 2 weeks |
| Budget per person | Filters off-target requests | Under 400 EUR: redirect |
| Preferred destination | Pre-selects partners | Domestic, Europe, long-haul |
| Decision-maker and process | Anticipates the tender | Procurement involved or not |
A well-built brief cuts qualification time from 45 to 15 minutes per request and lets you answer high-budget leads within 24 hours.
A 7-week plan
Weeks 1 and 2: workshops, site map and case study selection. Weeks 3 and 4: design of key pages (home, case study, destination, brief). Weeks 5 and 6: build, translation, CRM connection (HubSpot, Pipedrive). Week 7: acceptance, video optimisation for fast loading, go-live. The most common delay is content collection: plan an internal owner available 3 hours a week.
Mini case study
Hélène, director of a 14-person MICE agency, receives 30 requests a month through her current site, 60% of them off-target (budget too low or group too small). Her project managers spend 45 minutes qualifying each request, i.e. 22.5 hours a month.

She invests 19,000 EUR excl. VAT in a Premium site with a qualified brief and 8 video case studies (6,400 EUR of edits on top). Off-target requests are redirected automatically and qualification drops to 15 minutes: 15 hours recovered per month, about 1,100 EUR of project manager time. Above all, if the site wins her one 120-person seminar at 650 EUR per delegate, i.e. 78,000 EUR of revenue at an 18% margin, the margin earned (14,000 EUR) already covers more than half of the full 25,400 EUR project.
FAQ
Should a MICE site show prices?
Rarely fixed prices, but indicative per-person ranges (for example 450 to 900 EUR for a 2-day seminar) improve request quality and cut off-budget briefs by 30 to 40%.
Is a second language essential?
Yes as soon as the agency targets subsidiaries of international groups or incentives abroad. It adds 2,500 to 4,000 EUR excl. VAT, professional translation included.
How do we avoid a slow site with lots of video?
Host videos on a dedicated platform, load a still image first and cap the homepage video at 15 compressed seconds. The target is display in under 2.5 seconds on mobile.
How much does maintenance cost?
Allow 150 to 400 EUR excl. VAT per month for hosting, updates and adding case studies, depending on content volume.
Can we manage case studies ourselves?
Yes, with a well-configured CMS adding a case study takes about 30 minutes. A 2-hour training session is included in most Premium projects.
