Pricing

What does a website cost — and what else is involved?

The honest answer is: it depends — but not on how much you are willing to pay. The starting prices are set out openly on this page, with no sign-up and no need to ask. Beyond that it comes down to five things, and those are here too. Put together below what you need; after the first call you get a fixed price — and it holds.

Company website

from CHF 499 one-off

For businesses that get found locally. Bespoke rather than a page builder — and built from the start so that search engines understand it.

  • A design that fits your business
  • Equally good on phone, tablet and desktop
  • Search foundations from day one
  • Enquiry form with spam protection, no captcha
  • A privacy basis under Swiss law, not off a template

Web app & SaaS

from CHF 999 one-off

When a spreadsheet no longer does the job: logins, roles, reporting — and subscriptions with online payment where needed.

  • Users, roles and permissions
  • Each company sees only its own data
  • Subscriptions and online payment where needed
  • Installable as an app on the phone
  • Reports and exports that are actually usable

Operations

from CHF 79 per month

The work starts after launch. Including for websites somebody else built.

  • Hosting in Switzerland, data stays in the country
  • Security updates, backups, monitoring
  • One contact person who knows the application
  • Text changes usually the same day

IT

from CHF 79 per month

Servers, network and workstations for companies without an IT department. By the hour or as a fixed monthly rate — whichever suits you better.

  • Servers set up, maintained and monitored
  • Network, firewall and remote access
  • Backups tested, not just claimed
  • One contact, an agreed response time

What “from” means

A starting price is not bait — otherwise it would say “on request” here. It is the amount at which a project of this shape actually comes about. Three sentences so you can place the figure.

The entry level is finished work

No demo, no stripped-down version, no page builder with your logo on it. For the starting price you get something built, written, checked for speed and findability, and live — with everything listed above.

What moves it up is scope, not your budget

More pages, a second language, a connection to an existing system: what drives the price is set out right below — point by point, so you can gauge roughly where your project sits before we even speak.

The fixed price replaces the estimate

After the free first call you get a binding figure. From then on it only costs more if you widen the scope yourself — not because we misjudged it. The risk of a bad estimate sits with us, not with you.

No guesswork

Five things drive the price. Nothing else.

Anyone who answers these five questions for themselves knows roughly what we are talking about before the first call. That is deliberate — an offer you only understand after three meetings is not a good offer.

How much content there is

Not the number of pages alone, but how different they are from each other. Five pages following the same pattern are built quickly. Twenty-five pages with guide articles, a project gallery and before-and-after comparisons are a different order of magnitude — even though both are called «a website».

Ask yourself: how many pages really look different from the others?

How many languages

A second language does not cost double, but considerably more than a translation: every visible text needs a counterpart, every address its own path, and it all has to still be right in two years. On two of our platforms that means around four thousand text entries per language — maintained, not half finished.

Ask yourself: do your customers actually buy in a second language, or do they only read?

Whether people have to sign in

As soon as there are accounts, a lot arrives that nobody sees: roles and permissions, forgotten passwords, two-factor sign-in, and the question of who may see whose data. In our broker portal that separation is attached to fifteen data areas and takes effect on every query — not just in the interface.

Ask yourself: must someone see something another person must not?

Whether money flows through the site

Payments are rarely the hard part — the consequences are. What happens on a failed payment, a cancellation mid-month, a refund? Whoever does not settle that beforehand settles it later, in a call with the customer.

Ask yourself: should the site collect money, or is an invoice by email enough?

What has to keep working when something fails

This is the item quotes like to leave out. An application that has to keep running on a building site with no signal is more work than one that simply shows «no connection». The same goes for tests: our platform for trade businesses has over a thousand, and every one of them was written because it once prevented a fault.

Ask yourself: what happens in your business if the application stands still for a day?

What does not cost extra

These items tend to appear elsewhere as add-ons. With us they are part of it — not an extra, but the foundation.

HTTPS certificate and setup Presentation on phone, tablet and desktop Sitemap, clean addresses, company data for search engines A privacy basis under Swiss law Backups and an emergency route from the start
