Questions
What people usually ask.
Are the prices actually fixed?
For Starter, Compact and Business, yes. The scope is defined, and as long as it holds, the price does not move. If you add something along the way, we tell you what it costs before we build it. For custom projects we quote a fixed price once the concept is done.
Why does the subscription cost more than buying?
Because we pre-finance the build and you start without a large upfront payment. Over 24 months the Starter subscription costs CHF 196 more than buying, Compact CHF 1'016. If you can cover the investment at once, buying is cheaper.
Why is hosting & care mandatory?
Because a website without updates, backups and monitoring becomes a risk before long. We do not hand over a site that nobody feels responsible for afterwards.
I already have a website. Will you maintain it?
Usually yes. We review its technical condition and tell you honestly whether maintenance is worth it or whether rebuilding costs less than patching.
