Or fix one thing

The free audit names the faults on your homepage. Most single faults are a half day's work on the site you already have. Sign for a build and the three worst faults are fixed free the week you sign, before the build starts.

from €350
per fault, fixed price, quoted from the audit

Care plans

Month to month, cancel with 30 days' notice, two months free if you pay a year up front. Unlimited content edits on Managed and above; development hours are development hours and never “unlimited”, because nobody honest offers that.

  • Uptime and security monitoring, with a person on the alert
  • 30 minutes of edits a month
The draw
One refresh day a year: design, content or photos, your call.

Managed

€195 / month
  • Everything in Kept
  • Unlimited content edits
  • 2 hours of development a month
  • A monthly report in plain English

Response time: One working day

Grown

€395 / month
  • Everything in Managed
  • 5 hours of development a month
  • Speed and conversion work every quarter
  • A quarterly review call
The draw
The same refreshes, and first slot in the queue for new work.
Response time: Same day

The five-year number

The cheapest first invoice is rarely the cheapest site. Here is the same comparison we would show you across a table, with the retainer model most agencies sell against a build you own with hosting you pay directly.

Agency retainer model
  • Build: €9,000
  • Retainer: €300 a month, 60 months
  • Ownership: theirs, usually. Leave and the site goes dark.
€27,000
over five years
Owned build with direct hosting
  • Build: €15,000
  • Hosting you pay directly: about €50 a month
  • Ownership: yours from day one. Add a care plan if you want one; drop it if you do not.
€18,000
over five years, and you own it

Illustrative figures; the retainer column is a typical agency arrangement, not a specific competitor. Your own quote will show your own five-year number the same way.

Before you compare quotes

Five questions to ask anyone quoting you, and our answers

Where is the work actually done?
Here, by the person you are talking to. Nothing is passed to a white-label shop in another time zone without telling you, because nothing is passed anywhere.
Who can see my enquiry data, and under what agreement?
You, and us while we build or maintain it, under a written data-processing agreement. Your customers' details never leave infrastructure in your name.
What happens on day 31?
The same as day 1. Fixed-price builds carry a 90-day warranty on defects; care plans run month to month; nothing expires when the invoice clears.
Who owns the code, the hosting and the domain?
You do, from the first commit. Your repository, your hosting account, your registrar. Written into the quote.
What does Google's own speed test say about it?
100/100 at launch on every build we ship, or you do not pay the final instalment. Run it yourself, on any page of the proof site, right now.
