A website in Palermo: the contract before the quote
In Palermo the risk isn't the price: it's losing the site when the supplier goes away. Five clauses to write down before you sign, with the figures we can measure.
A website for a Palermo business is chosen on the contract, not on the quote. With 630,167 residents (2023) the comune is the fifth among the ones we track, but the difference that matters is another one: the client must be able to change supplier without losing domain, code and content.
The starting figure is read from the city file, not estimated: 630,167 residents, year 2023, read from Wikidata Q2656 on 1 November 2026. Province: Città metropolitana di Palermo. Region: Sicily. From here the page covers contracts, the catalogue and national ranges, not local statistics we do not hold.
Five clauses worth more than the price
| Clause | What it must say | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Domain | Registered to you, with access to the registrar panel | If the supplier holds it, moving it needs their consent |
| Code and repository | Handover of the repository, not just the live site | Without the code the site cannot move |
| Hosting and backup | Where it runs, who pays, how often the backup runs and how it restores | A site without a restore is not a site |
| Changes | How many hours or changes per month are included | This is the clause that starts arguments six months in |
| Exit | Handover procedure, timeline and data format | A contract without an exit is a mandatory subscription |
None of these clauses mentions design, which is normal: design shows immediately, the absence of these lines shows on the day the supplier closes or changes trade.
An island: what really changes
The region is Sicily and the province is a metropolitan city: the supplier can sit in Palermo, in Milan or anywhere else, and distance is no longer a technical constraint. It becomes an organisational one. Video calls, written handovers, one named contact and documented access to every service are worth more than a visit to the office.
Licences: 28 sources, none in the record
The EneUI catalogue holds 1,556 blocks from 28 declared sources, with data dated 31 October 2026 and counted on 1 November 2026. None of the records we opened carries an explicit licence: the field says «see source». Read it in the publisher's repository before publishing, and that check stays with you.

- About, with names and roles: the page that says whether the business really exists.
- Contact with address, phone and hours: if it is missing, the visitor calls a competitor.
- FAQ with the boring answers: delivery, timings, payments, areas covered.
- Privacy and cookies: controller, purposes, retention periods.
- Legal notice and VAT number: mandatory and almost always absent.
Three blocks from the catalogue
The faq category holds 24 blocks with an accessible accordion already built. FAQ 01 from Shadcn UI Blocks is the shortest: five questions and no effects. The footer category has 45 and covers the line many sites miss: VAT number, privacy, contact. Before publishing, open the repository and read the licence.
The catalogue's limitation
The blocks are React and Tailwind components, not finished pages: no copy, no images, no configuration. The catalogue holds no support or maintenance service, and no guarantee about the project that uses them. On a CMS the blocks read as a reference, they do not install.
Prices: national ranges only
A five to ten page showcase site sits between €1,500 and €4,000 under the national ranges we publish, a landing page between €400 and €1,200, yearly CMS maintenance between €300 and €1,200. We add no Sicilian coefficient: we have no data that would justify one. The full breakdown is in what a website costs.
On the contract read agency or DIY: costs and criteria. On the technical side WordPress, Wix or React components, and for the comparison between bases how to choose a template. Anyone who wants the site visible on Google should add getting a site indexed by Google.
Frequently asked questions
What does a website cost in Palermo?
We have no local price and do not estimate one. The ranges are national: €1,500-4,000 for a five to ten page showcase site, €400-1,200 for a landing page, €300-1,200 a year for CMS maintenance.
Must I hire an agency based in Palermo?
No. Distance is no longer a technical constraint, and a remote supplier with written handovers works well. What matters is that domain, repository and accounts belong to you and that the exit is described in the contract.
Who should own the domain?
You, with direct access to the registrar panel. If the supplier owns it, moving it needs their consent and in the worst case a lawsuit: it is the cheapest clause to write and the most expensive to forget.
How many residents does Palermo have?
630,167 residents in 2023, read from Wikidata Q2656 on 1 November 2026, in the Città metropolitana di Palermo, Sicily. It is the fifth comune by population among the ones we track.
Can I use the catalogue blocks under a licence?
The record does not declare one: the licence field says «see source» on every block we opened. Read the licence in the publisher's repository, because the catalogue indexes the code and does not grant rights on its behalf.
