FAQ: Costs & Pricing

A fixed price offers planning certainty but requires a clearly defined scope. Time and materials billing is more flexible and suits projects whose requirements are still evolving. In practice, a hybrid model often works best: fixed prices for defined packages, time and materials with a budget cap for the unknowns.

An agency quote for a web project typically consists of the line items concept, design, development, content and data migration, quality assurance, project management and launch. Serious quotes describe transparently which services are included, which assumptions apply and how change requests are handled.

The cost of a business website depends on scope and structure, design ambition, the CMS used, the required features and the effort for content. A concrete figure can only be given seriously once these requirements are clarified – typically in a free initial consultation.

The cost of a professional online shop depends on the feature scope, the design effort, the required integrations and the data migration. Flat-rate prices quoted without a requirements analysis are rarely reliable – as a rule, the effort can only be quantified seriously after an initial consultation.
