€700 vs €3,500 — what actually differs

€700 is a real website. €3,500 is a real website plus a system that does work while you're not at your desk. The two prices are not about quality, effort, or how seriously we take the project. They're about what the site has to do.

Most studios either charge one flat rate for everything or give you a vague "depends on scope" and wait for you to blink first. We'd rather show you the line items. So here they are.

What €700 actually contains

A Starter site runs to five pages. Custom design — not a template with your logo dropped in — built for mobile from the start, with a contact form, a Google Maps embed, and basic SEO groundwork. Domain setup and launch included. Live in seven to ten days from the end of the two-day design period.

That's it. Nothing is hidden, but nothing is added either.

Who it's right for: a business that needs to exist online, credibly, this month. A consultant who's been handing out a LinkedIn URL. A trades company whose site last launched in 2017 and loads in eight seconds on 4G. A new practice that needs a professional address before it opens.

Who it's wrong for: anyone whose customers need to book, order, or pay through the site. Anyone who needs to update the content themselves without asking us. Anyone whose business runs across more than one language. For those cases, the Starter site would cost you more in the problems it doesn't solve than the €800 it saves upfront.

Where the money goes between €700 and €3,500

The jump to a Custom build — our most popular tier, starting at €3,500 — is not a larger version of the same thing. It's a different category of work.

Here's what comes in that didn't exist at €700:

• An admin panel. The owner, or whoever they name, can edit content, add new pages, update prices and mark a menu item as sold out at 11pm — without contacting us, without knowing any code.
• Booking or ordering functionality. A real system: the customer selects a time or builds an order, a confirmation goes out automatically, and the appointment or order appears somewhere the owner can act on it. Not a phone number.
• Industry integrations. Live review feeds from Google, delivery handoff to a third-party platform, a reservation system that syncs with the floor plan. These are not widgets — they require us to build the connection from scratch.
• Multiple languages. A separate version of the site per language, not a machine-translated copy, with proper routing and a language switcher.
• Unlimited pages and a blog. Content that the business publishes over time, built into the structure rather than bolted on.
• User accounts with roles and permissions, payments, secure API connections to other systems — these are what push a build from €3,500 toward the top of that tier.

A restaurant with live reviews, a reservations flow, a menu the owner edits themselves, and delivery integration lands between €1,500 and €2,500 — above Starter, below the full Custom tier, because it needs some of those features but not all of them.

The thing most quotes don't tell you

At €700, the site is done at launch. It does what it does. If the business grows and needs booking added six months later, that's a new project with a new quote — not a problem, but worth knowing.

At €3,500, the site is the beginning of something you can extend. The admin panel means you're not dependent on us for content. The database design means a CRM layer or an automation can be added later without rebuilding from scratch. Clients who start here are the ones who eventually end up with the system that runs their company.

That path — from a site to a full internal system — is unusual in this industry. Most studios stop at the brochure. We don't, and the architecture of what we build at €3,500 reflects that.

The two-day design period is where the price gets set

We don't quote a final number on the intro call. After that call, we spend two days mapping out exactly what the site needs to do, which features earn their place, and which are on the wishlist but not the brief. That document comes back to you with a fixed price, a scope list, and a delivery date.

The reason we do this: a brief that starts at "we need a website" can land at €700 or €3,500 depending on what that business actually needs. Guessing on a call wastes everyone's time. Two days of thinking catches the expensive decisions before they become expensive mistakes.

If the number comes back and you want to reduce scope — take out a feature, simplify a flow — the price moves accordingly. Fixed price means fixed. It doesn't creep.

Which one to ask for

If your customers find you by searching and call you to buy, €700 probably does the job. If your customers need to book, order, or pay — or if you're spending time every week on something a system could handle — start the conversation at €3,500.

The 30-minute intro call is free, and it ends with a clear number, not a proposal to read a proposal. If you already know roughly where you land, check the full breakdown at /pricing or book a call at /contact and we'll work through it together.
