How much a premium B2B website costs in Berlin in 2026

The verdict in three sentences

If your current site is still technically sound but no longer tells your project story, a targeted redesign at 9,000-20,000 EUR is enough and ships in 8 to 10 weeks. If the foundation is obsolete (not responsive, abandoned CMS, slow pages), a new build at 16,000-38,000 EUR pays off better over three years. In both cases, the real return for a design or architecture firm is the briefs you win: a credible portfolio outweighs a new logo.

Targeted redesign or new build: the numbers

The choice depends on the state of your existing foundation and your commercial ambitions. Here are 2026 orders of magnitude for a Berlin firm of 8 to 25 people.

A targeted redesign keeps your hosting and part of the content; a new build starts from a blank page on technical architecture and design.

Where a 15,000 EUR redesign budget goes

Understanding the breakdown avoids surprises and makes scope negotiation easier.

EU hosting then costs 30 to 90 EUR/month depending on traffic and whether you need a CDN for the high-resolution images that are essential for a design firm.

Mini case study

Helena runs a 14-person architecture firm in Berlin-Mitte and is rebuilding her site to bid for public competitions. Chosen budget: 14,500 EUR for a targeted redesign, plus 60 EUR/month for CDN hosting. Her firm answers 22 briefs a year; before the redesign, 3 reached shortlist. The better-structured new portfolio raises that to 5 shortlists. With an average fee of 45,000 EUR per won project and a 30 % shortlist-to-win rate, she lands 0.6 extra project a year, or 27,000 EUR of additional revenue. The investment pays back in under seven months.

FAQ

How long does a redesign really take? Budget 8 to 10 weeks for a targeted redesign if you supply content on time. The main cause of delay is never technical: it is copy sign-off and the selection of project photos.

Do we start from scratch on content? No. We typically reuse 40 to 60 % of your existing copy. The content budget (around 2,250 EUR on a 15,000 EUR redesign) mostly goes into reworking the project pages, which are your first sales argument.

What lead uplift can we expect? Our firm-website redesigns average +40 % inbound enquiries over 12 months, provided the redesign is paired with local SEO and one dedicated page per flagship project.

Do we own the code and accounts? Yes, always. You retain ownership of the domain, the code and the access. Insist on this clause in writing: it stops you being locked in to one vendor for every future update.

Is a headless CMS worth it for a firm? Worth it if you publish projects often and want maximum speed. Otherwise a well-configured classic CMS is enough and costs 2,000 to 4,000 EUR less to integrate.
