Web Development
If you searched Google for this question, you probably found two types of answers. One says "starting from 200 lei," the other says "minimum 5000 euros." Neither helps you at all, because neither tells you what you actually get for that money.
Let's take this at face value. A serious, properly built presentation website costs in Romania somewhere between 1000 and 5000+ lei (plus VAT), depending on what you want the site to do for you, not just how it looks on your phone. The rest of the article explains exactly why, what such a site is made of, and why, if you have a business in Dâmbovița or Târgoviște, you're probably missing something that half your competition still doesn't have.
What exactly is a "presentation website"
It's not an online store, you don't sell anything directly on it. The presentation website is your digital business card, except unlike the one in your wallet, this one works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including on Easter, including while you're asleep. Someone searches "dental practice Târgoviște" at 11 PM, they find you or your competitor. The presentation website decides who gets the call in the morning.
What a good website is made of (and why the cheap ones don't have all of this)
A presentation website that actually brings in clients, not just exists online, has a few mandatory things:
- Custom design, not a downloaded template that's already been used by another 40,000 sites around the world
- Genuinely responsive on phone, tablet, and desktop – over 70% of traffic comes from mobile, so if the site only looks good on your monitor at home, you have a problem
- Loading speed, optimized for Core Web Vitals, meaning for what matters to Google, not just "looks good"
- Technical SEO from the start, meta tags, sitemap, correct URL structure, not added "later, when we have time" (you never have time, remember that)
- Admin panel, so you can change a text or a photo yourself without calling someone and waiting three days
- SSL certificate and basic security, because a site without HTTPS today looks just as professional as a handwritten invoice
- Functional contact form, with real email notifications, not a decorative one that doesn't send anything anywhere
- Support after launch, because websites, like cars, occasionally need a service visit
If the offer you received doesn't have at least half of the list above, you didn't receive a website offer, you received a picture of a website.
What it actually costs, for real
So I don't mislead you with vague numbers, here's the real structure we work with, as a market reference:
Basic tier (~1000 lei + VAT): up to 5 pages, a premium theme adapted to your brand, responsive, contact form, basic SEO, SSL, fast delivery. Perfect if you need a proper online presence, and fast, not a luxury experience.
Mid tier (~2200 lei + VAT): up to 10 pages with 100% custom design, integrated blog, advanced SEO with Google Search Console and Analytics, Meta Pixel integration, copy written for you (not just "lorem ipsum" you forget to delete). This is the package most businesses choose when they want something serious, not just checked off a list.
Premium tier (~5000 lei + VAT): unlimited pages, fully custom design built from scratch, professional photography, complete local SEO with Google My Business, speed optimized down to the last detail, advanced integrations like live chat or HotJar. Here you're already in "this site is a portfolio piece" territory, not just an online page.
Under 1000 lei, you're usually not buying a website, you're buying a risk. Above 5000, we're already talking about custom platforms, online stores, or projects with special requirements, not a classic presentation website.

Agency or freelancer? Let's be honest
A freelancer can be cheaper, sometimes significantly so. The problem isn't the price, it's what happens after you pay. A good freelancer works alone, which means that when they get sick, go on vacation, or simply disappear (it happens more often than you'd think), you're left with a half-finished site and a phone number that rings busy.
An agency has a team, a contract, an invoice backed by an actual company, and, in theory, people who still answer six months later if a problem comes up. We're not saying this to brag, it's simply the difference between "someone who builds websites" and "a business accountable for what it delivers." If your budget is strictly limited and the project is simple, a good freelancer can be enough. If this website actually matters for your business, you want someone who doesn't vanish after the bank transfer.
Why you actually need this, it's not just a luxury
A presentation website isn't a vanity expense, it's sales infrastructure. A few concrete examples:
A law practice in Dâmbovița without a website looks, to a client who searches online before calling, exactly the same as one that no longer exists. A medical or dental practice without an online presence loses patients to the one across the street that shows up first on Google when someone searches "dentist Târgoviște." An HR or consulting firm that sends expensive offers but has no website immediately raises a question: if they haven't invested in their own image, how serious are they about their clients?
The Târgoviște and Dâmbovița area has a great many solid businesses, with years of experience and loyal customers, but with websites that are either nonexistent or abandoned for years: expired domains, servers that are down, pages that haven't been updated since 2019. This isn't a criticism, it's an opportunity. Whoever takes this step first locally also picks up the other businesses' customers, simply because they show up, and the competition doesn't.
As a real, not hypothetical, example: among our projects is iTargoviste, a site built exactly for the local market. It's not theory, it's something you can see working right in your own town.
In short
A good presentation website costs in Romania, in 2026, somewhere between 1000 and 5000+ lei plus VAT, depending on how many pages, what level of SEO, and how custom you want the design to be. Any offer well below that threshold is hiding something (usually a lack of technical SEO, support, or any kind of guarantee), and any offer well above it should come with a clear list of reasons, not just a high price because "that's how it's done."
If you want a real offer, tailored to your business, not a generic price thrown out over the phone, you can request a free consultation directly from the SmartNetSolution presentation website page. We're from Târgoviște, we know the local market, and, more importantly, we still answer the phone after you've paid the invoice.
