Let's price this
straight.
I don't sell ready-made packages or a "cheaper quality" tier. Every site is finished properly - with the same care. Price depends on a few fair factors; you get an exact quote after a short conversation, not from an automatic calculator.
This is only a reference point. I tailor the exact amount to what you actually need.
What actually
drives the price.
Instead of a rate card with asterisks - three things that honestly shape the quote. Quality stays constant. Only how much work your project needs changes.
What are you starting with?
Starting point
Sometimes you already have copy, photos, and service descriptions ready - then I organise, clean, and translate them into a new site. Sometimes you only have a name and an idea - then we create messaging, content, and visuals together. The more materials we build from scratch, the more work on my side.
What does the site need to do?
What the site needs
I do not count how many pages. What counts are the features the site needs: multiple languages, blog, forms wired to conversion tracking, reviews, or a shop. Each is concrete work - I always explain what it adds and why.
How are decisions made?
How we collaborate
When one person decides and we trust each other, work moves quickly. When every nudge of a button left or right needs a "board decision", I reserve more time - and that shows fairly in the quote. It is about our collaboration process.
What it roughly
costs.
Two things set the starting point most: how much you have on day one and how capable the site needs to be. Below is how that combines - an orientation map, not a test. The most accessible start is at the top.
Premiere
You have copy and materials; the site should stay focused. I organise what exists into a polished whole.
Every quote reflects what the site needs and how we work together.
How your
site comes together.
I work in stages, not "revision rounds". First we set direction, then we build, then we fine-tune.
Sketch & direction
Before the first line of code we align foundations: core message, character, colour and type, which pages there will be, and roughly what goes on each. This is an early stage where we can still change everything and tailor it fully to your needs.
Build & decisions
I build what follows from our sketch. Sometimes we start with the first page - I refine the homepage hero so you can see how the site should present itself. Sometimes the other way around: when direction is firm, I put up the full skeleton first, and we add content, details, and polish at the end.
Finish & tuning
Once the whole is approved, there is room for last details: copy tweaks, small fixes, and tying up loose ends. Here I also handle any technical and SEO fine-tuning. Then the site launches - finished and refined.
Going back to a previous stage after it is approved, or changing the site concept after earlier stages are signed off, is naturally much more work on my side. Fortunately, with the process above, that almost never happens - because we align things together from the start.
I look after
your site.
You do not click through a panel or worry the layout will break.
Want a change - send one sentence; I usually apply it within 24 hours on business days. You stay hands-off; the site stays as it should.
If you want to manage content yourself - I add a panel.
When you truly need it - frequent blog or a large price list - I add an editor as a separate module for that case. Never “just in case”.
Care plan
Hosting and sensible ongoing changes - content updates, image swaps, small fixes. Email me; I handle the rest.
Hourly billing
No retainer. I quote each change before doing it - no month-end surprises.
Before you write.
Tell me what you want
to build.
A few sentences about what you need - or a loose problem you want solved. I will reply with specifics.
I reply within 24 hours on business days.
