What's included

Every site launches with this, whatever the price.

What's listed below isn't an extra and isn't charged separately. It's the minimum we won't launch a site without — otherwise, six months later, the site turns out to be beautiful but impossible to find and impossible to maintain.

A bespoke themeThe code is written for your project. Zero ready-made templates, zero page builders, a minimum of plugins.
Custom designA mock-up in the browser, not a picture in a PDF. You open it on your phone and try it out before we write any code.
Flawless on mobileWe check on real screen widths, not just in the editor. More than half of visitors are on a phone.
Technical SEO foundationTitles, URL structure, sitemap, robots, structured data.
Analytics and Search ConsoleConnected and verified on launch day, so there's something to measure against later.
SpeedOptimized images, lean code, no libraries you don't use.
Enquiry formWith spam protection and email notification. We test that the messages actually arrive.
TrainingWe show you how to edit the content, so you don't need us for every comma.

What kind of site you need

Four different jobs, not four packages.

Building a business website and building an online shop are different crafts. If you're not sure which one you need, that's the first thing we'll clear up in the conversation.

Pricing

Three tiers. Each builds on the one before.

These are starting prices and apply to the scope stated. You get the exact figure in a quote before work begins — not after. All prices exclude VAT.

Scope

What pushes the price up.

There's no honest way to price a website without knowing the scope. Here's what it depends on, so you can make a rough estimate before we even talk.

Number of pagesFive pages and fifty are different jobs — not only in writing, but in structure and internal links too.
A second languageIt isn't a translation of texts but a second structure: URLs, menus, hreflang and maintaining two versions.
IntegrationsA link to warehouse software, couriers, a CRM or a payment provider. Each one is a separate job.
Number of unique templatesOne type of inner page is quick. Eight different layouts means eight times the design and code.
ContentIf you have the copy and photos, it's faster. If we write and choose them, it becomes part of the scope.
MigrationMoving over from an old site or shop, keeping the URLs and setting up redirects.

How it goes

Six steps, each with a clear result.

You know what's happening the whole time. The deadline for each step is written into the quote before we start.

01

Conversation

Thirty minutes, free of charge. We listen for the problem, not for what you've decided to order.

02

Quote

Scope, timeline and price in one document. If the job isn't for us, we say so here.

03

Design

A mock-up straight in the browser. You look at it on your phone before a single line of code is written.

04

Development

A hand-written theme. Every Friday you get a link to what's done so far.

05

Launch

Migration, a check of every old URL, redirects and training for your team.

06

Support

Updates, backups, speed and security. Under contract, from €40 a month.

Questions

About building a website.

If your question isn't here, call us — we answer by phone too.

How much does it cost to build a website?

A business website with a custom design starts at €600, a site with an extended structure and SEO foundation at €1,100, an online shop at €1,200. All prices exclude VAT.

The exact price depends on the scope, and you get it in a quote before work begins.

How long does it take to build a website?

The timeline is part of the quote and depends on the scope and on how quickly we get the content from you. A small business website is a matter of weeks; a shop with integrations takes longer.

During development you get a link to what's done so far every Friday, so you don't wait until the end to see something. Where the time goes and what slows projects down is covered in how long it takes to build a website.

What platform do you build websites on?

On WordPress, but with a theme written by hand for the specific project. We don't use ready-made templates or builders like Elementor or Divi.

A ready-made theme carries code for hundreds of cases, of which yours is one. That weighs on speed, complicates maintenance and locks you into someone else's product. When the job goes beyond WordPress, we write a system from scratch.

Do I need hosting and a domain?

Yes, both. If you already have them, we work with those. If not, we arrange them and they stay in your name, not ours.

This matters: the domain is your address on the internet and it should be registered to you. If the two terms blur together, see the difference between a domain and hosting.

Who owns the website once it's built?

You do. You get access to the hosting, the domain and the admin panel, and the code is yours. We don't lock clients into a subscription to keep their own site.

If you decide to continue with another agency, everything is handed over.

Will the website show up on Google?

The site is built so that it can rank: a clean structure, fast code, correct titles, and Analytics and Search Console connected.

Ranking itself is separate work and takes months. No honest agency can promise you a specific position and timeframe — that depends on the competition for each search query.

What do you need from me to get started?

Half an hour's conversation and an idea of what the site needs to do. Copy and photos can come later — if you don't have them, we write and source them.

After the call you get a quote with scope, timeline and price.

Next step
