How much does a WordPress website cost in Romania? 2026 prices

Factors that influence the price of a WordPress website

Theme: premium vs custom: A premium theme (Avada, Divi, Astra) costs 50-100 USD/license and offers good flexibility. A fully custom theme, designed from scratch for your brand, costs 3-5 times more but sets you completely apart from competitors who use the same templates.
Plugins and features: WordPress has 60,000+ plugins. The free ones are enough for basic functions. Premium plugins (SEO, security, backup, forms, membership, WooCommerce extensions) add 200-600 USD/year in licenses, depending on complexity.
Content and migration: If you already have a website and need to migrate its content to WordPress, the cost can go up by 500-2,000 RON. SEO optimization of the existing content also adds to the total cost.
Performance and optimization: A standard WordPress install is often slow if it isn't optimized. Setting up a CDN and caching, and optimizing images and the database for good Core Web Vitals, takes technical expertise and adds to the project cost.
Support and maintenance: WordPress needs regular core, theme and plugin updates to stay secure. Without regular maintenance, the site becomes vulnerable and can go down. Your annual maintenance budget needs to be part of the plan.

Common mistakes when choosing a provider based on price

1. Buying a cheap ThemeForest template without customizing it — Generic templates look identical to dozens of other sites that use the same theme. Without serious customization, your brand doesn't stand out visually from the competition.
2. Ignoring speed from the start — WordPress can be slow if it isn't configured correctly. A site that takes 6-8 seconds to load loses 50%+ of its visitors and gets penalized by Google. Speed optimization has to be part of the initial project, not an afterthought.
3. Leaving recurring costs out of the budget — Good hosting: 50-150 RON/month. Premium plugin licenses: 200-500 RON/year. Maintenance: 200-500 RON/month. A “cheap” WordPress website can become expensive in the long run if you don't plan for these costs from the start.

Frequently asked questions about the cost of a WordPress website

Is WordPress good for every type of website?

WordPress is excellent for: presentation websites, blogs, online stores (via WooCommerce), membership sites and content portals. It is not ideal for: complex web applications, SaaS platforms or sites with very specific technical requirements — custom solutions are a better fit for those.

What is the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org?

WordPress.com is a hosted platform (hosting included, a free plan with severe limitations, paid plans from 4 USD/month). WordPress.org is open-source software you install on your own hosting — more flexible, with no limitations, and the one professionals choose. All professional websites run on wordpress.org.

How much does WordPress website maintenance cost?

Basic maintenance (monthly WordPress core, theme and plugin updates, backups, security monitoring) costs 200-500 RON/month at a professional agency. Without regular maintenance, you risk a malware infection, which can cost 1,000-3,000 RON to fix.

Can I migrate my current website to WordPress?

Yes, in the vast majority of cases. You can migrate to WordPress from platforms like Wix, Squarespace or Shopify, or from static HTML sites. The cost depends on the site's complexity and the amount of content to transfer — between 500 and 3,000 RON at ProjectMedia.
