How Much Should a Law Firm Website Cost in Belgium? A Realistic Breakdown
Short answer: in Belgium, a law firm or notary website realistically ranges from near-free DIY builders up to €15,000+ for a full brand, website, and local SEO bundle. Most established solo or small-partner firms who want to look genuinely credible online land somewhere between €2,500 and €8,000 for the website itself, plus separate branding or SEO if they want those too. The number that matters isn't a single figure — it's understanding what you're actually paying for at each tier.
Why the range is so wide
"Website" covers wildly different things depending on who builds it. A €300 template swap is a website. A bespoke multi-page site with practice-area pages, local SEO structure, and a brand system behind it is also a website. Both get called the same word, which is why price comparisons between firms are often meaningless without knowing the scope.
Option 1: DIY builders (Wix, Squarespace, Ionos, etc.)
Typically free to around €30/month. The appeal is speed and low upfront cost. The trade-off: generic templates rarely read as credible for a legal professional, and most builders give you limited control over the technical side of local SEO — the thing that actually determines whether you show up when someone searches "notaire" or "avocat" plus their city. Fine as a placeholder while you're just starting out; rarely the right long-term fit.
Option 2: Freelancer-built site
Roughly €1,500–4,000 for a custom-built site, depending on the freelancer's experience and how many pages you need. Quality varies enormously at this tier — some freelancers deliver agency-grade work, others deliver a nicer template. Ask to see other law firm or notary sites they've built specifically, not just any client work.
Option 3: Small-to-mid agency
Generally €3,000–8,000 for a proper multi-page site with practice-area pages, a working contact flow, and basic on-page SEO. This is where most established firms that take their online presence seriously tend to land, especially once they factor in mobile performance and the specific compliance considerations covered in our guide to advertising rules for lawyers and notaries.
Option 4: Full brand + website + local SEO bundle
Often €6,000–15,000+ when a firm wants everything built together from the start — logo, visual identity, the website itself, and local SEO groundwork (Google Business Profile, on-page structure, city-specific pages). This tier tends to cost less per component than buying the pieces separately over time from different providers, since nothing has to be reconciled or redesigned to match later.
What actually drives the price up (or down)
- Number of practice areas or notarial acts you want dedicated pages for
- Whether branding (logo, visual identity) is built alongside the site or already exists
- Whether local SEO is included from day one or bolted on later
- Number of partners or locations the site needs to represent
- Ongoing hosting and maintenance — usually a separate, smaller monthly cost regardless of tier

Related Questions
Is a cheap DIY website worth it for a law firm?
For a very early-stage solo practice it can be a reasonable placeholder, but it usually costs you more in the long run — generic templates rarely convey the credibility clients look for from a lawyer or notary, and most builders offer little control over local SEO. It's a starting point, not a long-term fit for a firm serious about being found online.
Do notaries need a more expensive website than lawyers?
Not necessarily more expensive, but often structured differently. A notary's site tends to be more informational and restrained under Fednot's guidelines, while a lawyer's site can lean further into specialization and credentials. The cost difference usually comes from scope — number of practice areas or notarial acts covered — rather than the profession itself.
What's included in Acta's quote for a law firm or notary website?
We give a fixed quote after a short call about your practice, covering the website itself, and — if relevant — branding and local SEO as add-ons. We don't sell from a generic price list, since a one-lawyer practice and a multi-partner firm need genuinely different scopes of work.
