Freelance landing page rates: the 2026 grid, item by item
Published on 16 July 2026 · 9 min read
Ask three freelancers for a landing page quote and you will receive three unrelated amounts: €350, €1,200, €2,800. None of them is robbing you — they are simply not selling the same thing. To compare comparable quotes, you need to understand how a freelancer builds a price: a day rate multiplied by days of work. Let's break down both. (For the big picture — freelancer vs agency vs template — see our general price comparison.)
French market day rates in 2026
A web profile's day rate depends on experience and specialty. Ranges observed on French platforms (Malt, Comet) and in direct contracts:
| Profile | Junior (< 2 yrs) | Mid-level (2-5 yrs) | Senior (5 yrs +) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web designer / UI | €250 – 350 | €350 – 500 | €500 – 700 |
| Front-end developer / integrator | €250 – 350 | €400 – 550 | €550 – 750 |
| Hybrid design + dev profile | €300 – 400 | €450 – 600 | €600 – 800 |
| Conversion copywriter | €250 – 350 | €400 – 550 | €600 – 900 |
How many days for a landing page?
A serious landing page — not a minimal capture page — represents 2 to 5 days of work. Here is the typical breakdown any honest quote should reflect:
| Step | Duration | What is produced |
|---|---|---|
| Brief and scoping | 0.5 day | Page goal, audience, offer, section structure |
| Mockup (desktop + mobile) | 1 – 2 days | Design approved before any line of code |
| Integration | 1 – 1.5 days | Page built, forms connected |
| Responsive, tests, fixes | 0.5 – 1 day | Mobile, browsers, speed checks |
| Go-live and tracking | 0.5 day | Domain, HTTPS, analytics, conversion events |
| Total | 3.5 – 5.5 days | i.e. €1,000 – 3,300 depending on the day rate |
Hence the reading rule: below €500, there are not 3 days of work inside. The provider starts from an existing template and recolours it — not a bad thing in itself, but better to know it (and sometimes, better to buy the template yourself — see below).
What must be included — and what is billed extra
- Included in any serious quote: mobile mockup, one revision cycle (2 rounds), go-live, browser compatibility, transfer of source files.
- Often billed extra: copywriting (+€500 to €1,500), A/B variants (+20 to 30% per variant), CRM or payment integrations (+€150 to €500 each), custom illustrations or photos.
- Almost never included: maintenance and post-delivery tweaks — clarify the hourly rate for future changes before signing.
- To demand in writing: ownership of the code and design files. Some WordPress freelancers bill the page but keep the plugin licences — a detail that costs dearly at the first disagreement (our quote guide lists every clause to check).
The red flags that should make you walk away
- A portfolio made of Dribbble mockups but no page actually live — ask for URLs and test them on mobile.
- No question about your offer or your customers in the first exchange: a landing page is built on an argument, not a colour palette.
- A one-line quote (“landing page: €1,500”) with no breakdown — impossible to compare or negotiate.
- Delivered pages that take more than 3 seconds to load on mobile: check their work with PageSpeed Insights before signing.
- The promise of a page “converting at 15%”: nobody can guarantee a conversion rate without knowing your traffic and your offer.
Three levers to pay less without sacrificing quality
1. Provide the copywriting
Copy represents up to a third of the budget when delegated. Nobody knows your customers better than you: write a serious first draft (promise, objections, proof) and have it merely rewritten. Saving: €500 to €1,000.
2. Arrive with a validated structure
The mockup is the longest item. If you impose a proven structure — the 9 sections that convert — the freelancer goes straight to execution design. Saving: 0.5 to 1 day of the day rate.
3. Start from a premium template the freelancer adapts
The most effective lever: buy a professional template (€89 at LanderKit) and pay the freelancer only for the adaptation — copy, colours, images, go-live. That is 3 to 6 hours of work instead of 3 to 5 days, i.e. €200 to €500 instead of €1,500 to €3,000. The design and conversion structure are already there; a coaching template or a real-estate lead page comes with its sections, FAQ and form in place. Many freelancers gladly accept: shorter mission, faster-satisfied client. And if you are the freelancer: the 10-template bundle at €229 covers all your clients, multi-project licence included.
One last piece of advice: whatever the amount, judge a quote by its transparency. A freelancer who details their days, shows live pages and writes down in black and white what is included is always worth more — and always costs less — than a round number with no explanation.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the average freelance rate for a landing page?
Between €800 and €3,000 for serious work of 2 to 5 days (mockup, integration, responsive, go-live), depending on the profile's day rate: €250 to €350 per day for a junior, €400 to €600 for a mid-level, up to €800 for a senior hybrid design + development profile. Below €500, it is almost always a quick adaptation of an existing template.
Why do some freelancers charge €300 for a landing page?
Because they start from a template or theme they recolour in a few hours. It is not dishonest if announced, but compare like with like: at that price there is no custom mockup, no copywriting, no thorough testing. You can get the same result by buying an €89 premium template yourself.
Is copywriting included in a web freelancer's rate?
Rarely. Most web designers and developers expect your copy; writing is billed extra, from €500 to €1,500 depending on the page length. It is the first place to save: provide a solid first draft and have it merely rewritten.
How can I pay less without cutting quality?
Three levers: provide the copywriting (saving €500 to €1,000), impose a proven page structure to shorten the mockup phase, and above all start from a premium template the freelancer adapts in 3 to 6 hours instead of building a page in 3 to 5 days — i.e. €200 to €500 instead of €1,500 to €3,000.
