How to Measure the ROI of Your Premium Website Design
I've built premium websites. I've measured their ROI. Let me show you how to do it.
The ROI Framework
Investment
What it includes:
- Development costs
- Design expenses
- Ongoing maintenance
- Total cost of ownership
Example: €5,000 development + €1,200/year maintenance = €6,200 first year
Returns
What it includes:
- Revenue increase
- Cost savings
- Efficiency gains
- Business growth
Example: €50,000/month additional revenue = €600,000/year
ROI Calculation
Formula: (Returns - Investment) / Investment × 100
Example: (€600,000 - €6,200) / €6,200 × 100 = 9,577% ROI
The Key Metrics

What to track:
- Visitor volume
- Traffic sources
- User behavior
- Engagement rates
Why it matters: More traffic = more opportunities = more revenue.

The Business Impact
Revenue Impact
What it means: Additional revenue from website.
How to measure: Compare revenue before and after.

Cost Savings
What it means: Reduced costs from efficiency.
How to measure: Compare costs before and after.
Example: Before: €5,000/month support. After: €2,000/month support. Savings: €3,000/month.
Efficiency Gains
What it means: Time saved. Productivity improved.
How to measure: Compare time spent before and after.
