“I have seen sites for €300”, “my nephew can do it”, “there are offers at €10 a month”. Those solutions exist, and sometimes they are enough. But in many cases, the cheap site costs more in the end. Here is where the real spending hides.
What a “cheap” site often hides
The cloned template. Most budget offers rest on a prefabricated theme, barely tweaked. The result: a site shared with thousands of other businesses, hard to personalise and hard to grow.
Rental in disguise. Some low monthly “turnkey” packages sell you nothing: you are renting. The day you stop paying, the site disappears and you start again from scratch. Over several years, the bill far exceeds that of a site you would have owned.
Hidden costs. The headline price is low, but every change, every extra page, every feature is charged on top. You think you are saving, and the total adds up.
Slowness and invisibility. A site thrown together quickly is often heavy, badly optimised, and therefore badly ranked. A pretty site nobody finds is a wasted budget, whatever it cost.
When cheap really is enough
To be fair: if you need a simple presentation page, with no ambition around search or growth, a basic solution may do for a while. The problem is choosing it while expecting it to do the job of a real site, and then having to redo everything a year later.
The right question to ask
Not “how much does it cost”, but “what will it bring in?”. A fast site, well ranked locally, that turns visitors into customers, pays for itself quickly. An invisible template brings in nothing, even free.
Our stance: a fair price, published
We built our offer to avoid both traps (the opaque and overpriced, and the cheap that ends up expensive): a foundation from €1,199 paid once, modules à la carte, a monthly plan with no lock-in from €39, and code that belongs to you for life. You know exactly what you are paying, and for what.
It is all set out, with no drawn-out quoting process, on the website design page. The quote is free within 24 hours.
