Design your site
Settle your site before you talk about it
Three questions always come in the same order, and mixing them loses all three. Each has its own tool: a few minutes to answer, the result takes shape as you go, and you leave with a text to send us. Nothing is stored: your configuration lives in the page address, which you can keep or share.
- What the site must do Seven questions, from structure to languages. The preview builds with each answer, and dependencies show: selling online implies a catalogue, social links imply a footer to put them in. about three minutes Open
- How it should look A visual world to start from, then five settings to adjust it: the tone of the words, the colour, the rhythm, the shapes, where the images come from. The same page takes it all live. two minutes Open
- What will need maintaining Backups, monitoring, response time, search upkeep. Twelve months of dated actions, and the obligations your structure already imposes, each with its cause. two minutes Open
Order matters, except for style
Maintenance follows from structure: you cannot cost the watching of a till before knowing whether there is a till. Style depends on nothing and can be looked at first, for the pleasure of it.
Prices
What it costs
Two figures, and both are floors: nothing is built below them, and the firm quote starts there. They are written here so you can decide before writing to us, rather than after three exchanges.
- Building a site
- from 2 500 CHF
- Upkeep and monitoring
- from 1 000 CHF per year
What that figure already covers
- Design and writing: structure, words, layout. The words come before the mock-up, never the reverse.
- Pages that open in a fraction of a second, including on a phone at the edge of coverage.
- No trackers, no ad network, no typeface loaded from a third party: so there is no consent banner to dismiss.
- A legal notice and a privacy page written for your site, rather than a template that always describes somebody else’s.
- Going live, and the domain, the content and the code standing in your name: leaving requires nobody’s permission, and costs nothing.
What pushes the quote up
- The number of pages, and the number of entries when there is a catalogue.
- The number of languages: a version is written, not run through a machine.
- Anything beyond a page you simply read: booking, online sales, a customer area.
- The state of what you already have: copy to write, photographs to take, an existing site to take over.
Upkeep is priced by the year, never by the month: what you pay for is dated actions spread across twelve months. Backups, updates, certificates, watching for pages that stop answering, and repair within the response time agreed. It is priced into the very first quote, never discovered on an invoice in year two.
These are floor prices, not flat fees. A firm quote follows a conversation, because it depends on what you already have and what has to be taken over. Once signed, it does not move.
Amounts exclude VAT. Swiss value added tax at 8.1 % is added for clients domiciled in Switzerland. For clients domiciled abroad, the service is deemed to be supplied abroad within the meaning of art. 8 para. 1 LTVA and the invoice is issued without VAT.
And then
You send us the text the tool prepared, or you write to us directly. Either way the answer comes within two working days, written by the person who will do the work.
