The final cost of a website depends on its scope and functionality. This primarily includes the number of pages, language versions, online stores or booking systems, and integrations with existing systems. That is why we define the scope of work in detail before getting started. You receive a quote with a clearly defined timeline and an itemised breakdown, so you know exactly what you are getting before paying anything.
What does the price of a website depend on?
The first factor is scope: the number of pages and language versions, the amount of content that needs to be prepared, and whether the website is being built from scratch or is a redesign of an existing one. A redesign comes with its own set of tasks, as existing search rankings need to be preserved where possible, and old URLs redirected to avoid losing search visibility.
The second factor is functionality. A business website, an online store, and a booking system each involve a different scope of work. An online store adds a product catalogue, payment processing, and delivery options, while a booking system requires calendars, pricing, and seasonal rules. Any integration with existing software, such as synchronising stock levels and prices with inventory management software, is defined separately.
The third factor is content. The text and photographs you provide directly affect both the timeline and the amount of work required to prepare the website. The more prepared the materials are, the shorter the development process.
What is included in the price?
Every website we build comes with our Flex CMS, tailored to the needs of the specific project. This means you can update text, images, prices, and pages yourself, without having to contact us for every small change or pay an additional fee for each update. If your business needs multiple language versions, you can manage them all from one place.
Technical SEO is included from the outset, covering site structure, loading speed, mobile optimisation, metadata, and the sitemap. Content creation and ongoing SEO are separate services, so the quote clearly distinguishes between what is included in website development and what falls under subsequent work to improve search visibility.
Every website is optimised for all devices, including computers, tablets, and mobile phones, because browsing, submitting an enquiry, and making a purchase should work just as well on any screen.
Why do we not publish a price list?
This brings us back to the point we made at the beginning of the article. A fixed price would be inaccurate in either direction: some clients would pay for features they do not use, while others would not be accounting for the work their project actually requires. Two online stores with the same number of products do not necessarily involve the same amount of work. One might have a straightforward card payment system and a single delivery option, while the other might require integration with inventory management software, along with more complex promotions and discounts by product category.
Rather than relying on a fixed price list, we define the project scope in detail before work begins. This also makes the agreed timeline meaningful: it is established in advance, once the work has been clearly defined, and we do our best to meet it as agreed.
How do you get a concrete quote?
Send us an enquiry with some basic information: what your business does, what you need the website to do, and what materials you already have. Based on that, we discuss the scope, recommend a suitable solution, and provide a quote with clearly defined items and a delivery timeline.
If you already have a website, send us its URL as well. We plan every redesign around preserving what already works well while improving the parts of the website that slow things down, make it harder to use, or fail to deliver the expected results.
