How we set our prices
Full transparency on what drives your quote.
Number of dynamic pages
A static showcase page costs less than a catalog page generated from a database.
Third-party integrations
Stripe, CRM, ERP, synced calendar, transactional emails: each integration adds development time.
Content provided or created
If you provide finalized copy and images, the project moves faster. Otherwise we plan copywriting and art direction.
Number of languages
Each additional language adds translation, URL configuration and hreflang tagging.
Functional complexity
A simple blog differs from an e-commerce with client area, PDF invoices and return management.
Level of graphic customization
An adapted template design takes less time than a 100% bespoke art direction with a dedicated component system.
Payment terms
- 50% deposit on order, 50% balance at go-live
- Billing in CHF, Swiss VAT applicable if liable
- Payment by bank transfer or Twint
- No time commitment, no mandatory subscription

"Opening a café-concept store is already quite a challenge. The last thing you need is to waste time on a complicated website. In 48h I had a prototype showing our menu, events and shop. The price pleasantly surprised me: well below what I'd seen elsewhere. And most importantly, I manage everything myself now without calling a developer."
