Web agency in Odense: websites for small businesses

How much does a website from a web agency in Odense cost?

A web agency in Odense typically charges DKK 35,000–90,000 for a five-page website for a small business, and a freelancer DKK 12,000–30,000, excluding VAT. The price depends more on how much design and copy the agency does from scratch than on the postcode. Running costs come on top every year, so compare the price over three years:

All amounts exclude VAT and come from our website cost calculator, built on Danish hourly rates: about DKK 500–900 an hour for freelancers and DKK 900–1,400 for agencies. Running costs are hosting, a domain, licences and a service agreement. Striive is DKK 99 a month incl. VAT for the first 4 months, then DKK 249 a month incl. VAT, plus your domain.

Agency, freelancer or yourself: what suits a small business in Odense?

It depends on your budget, and whether you want to edit the website yourself afterwards:

• A web agency, if you need a custom design, links to other systems or a web shop with many products, and have DKK 35,000 or more to spend.
• A freelance web designer, if you want someone else to build a simple site from a template and don’t mind paying for changes later.
• A website builder like Striive, if you want a professional website with no build fee and to edit texts, prices and photos yourself whenever you need to.

How do you choose a web agency in Odense?

Ask everyone who quotes the same questions, so you can compare:

1. Ask for a fixed price in writing, excluding and including VAT, and what running costs and a service agreement cost a year.
2. Ask who owns the domain, the website and the texts if you stop working together.
3. Ask whether you can edit texts and photos yourself, or whether every change costs hours.
4. Ask for three websites they made for businesses like yours, ideally in Odense or nearby, and call one of the customers.
5. Check that their own website is fast on a phone and has a cookie banner, a privacy notice and a CVR number.

What do customers in Odense search for?

Local customers type the trade and the place. Typical searches (in Danish, as they’re typed):

• webbureau Odense
• webdesigner Odense
• frisør Odense C
• elektriker Dalum
• tømrer Næsby
• tandlæge Hjallese
• massør Odense
• restaurant Odense

Use the same words on your pages. If you also cover Dalum, Bolbro, Hjallese, Næsby, Tarup, Bellinge, Højby, Fruens Bøge, name them in the text and, where it fits, in the page title. Google can’t guess where you’ll drive to.

How do you get found on Google in Odense?

Local visibility comes down to three things: your Google Business Profile, the words on your website and reviews.

1. Create a free Google Business Profile with your address, opening hours, photos and a link to your website.
2. Give every service its own page with the trade and the place in its title, and check it in our Google preview.
3. Add structured data about your business with our free LocalBusiness tool.
4. Ask happy customers for a Google review, and answer every one.

In Odense people often search by postal district, such as “Odense C”, “Odense SV” or “Odense NØ”, or by neighbourhood. Put both your postcode and your district on your contact page and in your Google Business Profile.

What are small businesses in Odense like?

Odense is the third-largest city in Denmark and the centre of Funen. It is known as Hans Christian Andersen’s birthplace, for the University of Southern Denmark and for its cluster of robotics companies, and the light rail runs through the city from Tarup via the centre to Hjallese.

A large university brings many newcomers every year who don’t know the city and search Google for everything from a hairdresser to a dentist. So the words on your site matter. If the agency writes them too, five pages rise to DKK 45,000–113,000 at an agency and DKK 17,000–43,000 from a freelancer, excluding VAT.
