The real question behind "how much does enterprise web design cost?" is: "What is it worth to your brand how you appear, convert, scale, and perform in SEO?" That is what explains the 25x gap between a €3,000 WordPress theme and an €80,000 headless Next.js platform.

WordPress, Next.js or headless?
For most mid-to-upper enterprise web projects in 2026, Next.js + a headless CMS (Sanity / Contentful / Strapi) is the right answer: top performance, full SEO control, and an editor UI that lets your marketing team ship content without a developer.
