The six biggest cost factors of a website.
01
Scope & number of pages
Every service, industry or region needs its own page. More pages mean more concept, design and copy.
02
Design
A template is cheaper. A custom design fits your brand and your target group more precisely.
03
Copy & content
Good copy is often the biggest hidden effort. Clarify early whether you'll supply it yourself or have it written.
04
SEO & GEO
Keyword research, page structure, schema markup and optimization for AI search decide whether you get found.
05
Features
Booking, forms with upload, multilingual content, a shop or interfaces increase the effort.
06
Running costs
Hosting, domain, updates, backups and security are incurred every month and belong in every calculation.

How to get a fair quote.
1. Clarify goals
Which services should bring in enquiries, for whom and in which region? That determines the scope.
2. Define the scope
Pages, features and content are recorded in writing. That way quotes can be compared fairly.
3. Fixed price instead of hourly rate
A fixed price protects against additional charges. Pay attention to what is included and what costs extra.
4. Plan for running costs
Hosting, updates and backups are a must. With us, maintenance and hosting are optional from €30 per month.
