What decides the price
| What decides it | Cheaper when | Dearer when |
|---|---|---|
| Page types | Few, and they look alike | Many different ones, each designed separately |
| Selling | The site presents the business | Web shop with payment, stock and shipping |
| Connections | The site stands on its own | Booking, business system or customer register has to be connected |
| Content | Text and images already exist | They have to be written or produced |
| Editing | You swap text and images | You want to build new pages from ready-made blocks |
How many different kinds of page you need. A site with a home page, services, about and contact has four page types. Each new type, such as a product page or a booking page, has to be designed, built and tested. The number of pages of the same type matters less: twenty service pages that look alike do not cost twenty times as much as one.
Whether you sell on the site. A web shop needs payment, stock, shipping and order handling. That is more work than a site that presents the business.
Connections to other systems. If the site has to talk to your booking system, business system or customer register, someone has to build and test that connection. This is often where two quotes start to differ.
The content. Text and images that already exist are quick to put in. If they have to be written or produced from scratch, that takes time, whoever does it.
How much you want to change yourselves. A publishing tool for swapping text and images is included with us. If you want to build entirely new pages from ready-made blocks, there is more to prepare.
Costs after launch
A website is not finished the day it goes live. It needs updates, security updates and someone who answers when something stops working. We call that operation and maintenance, and it starts from SEK 1,990 a month. It covers site updates, security updates, technical support and ongoing search engine optimisation.
How to get a price you can rely on
Ask for a written proposal that states scope, price and timeline. Then you know what is included and, just as importantly, what is not.
With us it works like this: we start with a half-hour meeting, and then you get a written proposal before anything is built. A website can be ready in as little as two weeks, depending on scope.
Three questions to ask whoever you hire
- What is included in the price, and what costs extra?
- Who looks after the site after launch, and what does that cost per month?
- Can we update the content ourselves?
Clear answers to those three give you most of what you need to compare quotes.
