No surprises

What you pay once, and what renews every year

Here’s what the starting price includes, and what renews after the first year to keep your site online.

Included in the starting price

  • The design and development of your site
  • Its launch
  • Hosting for the first year
  • The domain name for the first year
  • Training on how to use your site (or your store)
  • Ownership of your content and your domain name

Every year after that

Hosting and domain name
Renewing them each year keeps your site online. The price is stated in your quote.
Maintenance (optional)
€50 excl. VAT per hour, or an annual plan at €500 excl. VAT per year for regular upkeep.
Improvements (on request)
Small improvements are covered by maintenance; a bigger addition gets its own quote.

You’re never locked in: the ownership terms for the site (code, licenses for third-party themes and plugins) are set out in the quote, and if you ever want to switch providers, I’ll give you the access you need to your site and your domain name.

Maintenance

Website maintenance pricing

A website needs to stay up to date, backed up, and secure. There are two ways to hand it off, whether your site is custom-coded or built with WordPress.

  • Updates
  • Security
  • Backups
  • Optimization
  • Small improvements to your site
Everything about website maintenance

VAT

Excluding or including VAT: how much will you pay?

Prices on this site are shown excluding VAT, as is standard between businesses. Belgian VAT at the standard rate of 21% is added on the invoice.

My services are billed through Productions Associées asbl (VAT BE 0896.755.397): you receive a proper invoice, payable by bank transfer. Payment terms are set out in the quote.

If your business is registered for VAT, you can generally deduct it: your real cost is then the amount excluding VAT. An individual, a nonprofit (asbl) that isn’t registered for VAT, or a self-employed professional under the VAT small business exemption pays the amount including VAT. Your accountant will confirm your situation.

Amounts excluding and including VAT (21% Belgian VAT)
Service Excl. VAT Incl. VAT
Custom business website starting at €1,599 €1,934.79
WordPress business website starting at €1,099 €1,329.79
Online store starting at €2,700 €3,267
Maintenance: one-off work per hour €50 €60.50
Maintenance: annual plan per year €500 €605

Starting prices: the exact amount for your project is in the quote, both excluding and including VAT.

Budget

What affects the price of your website

Starting prices cover a simple project. The exact amount depends on a few factors, which we go over together during the discovery call.

The number of pages and the amount of content

A single introduction page doesn’t take the same work as a site that details ten services. The more pages and content there are to add, the longer the build takes.

Features

Photo gallery, online booking, client portal, a version in another language: each added feature is priced in the quote.

The technology you choose

A custom-coded site gives you a unique design and a lighter site; WordPress, the more affordable option, lets you edit your content yourself. This choice sets the starting price and the timeline.

Your text, photos, and logo

You provide your content; I add it to the site and format it. If anything is missing, we’ll look for a solution together, starting with the discovery call.

For a store: catalog and orders

The number of products to put online, the payment methods, how you deliver to your customers, and the choice between a custom-coded store (priced on quote) and PrestaShop or WooCommerce all affect the budget of an online store.

Your SEO goals

Every site is built to be well understood by Google. In a highly competitive industry, additional optimization can be included in the quote.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about budget

Starting prices, VAT, yearly costs: answers to the questions people ask me before requesting a quote.

Timelines, content, hosting, SEO: all frequently asked questions.

What does the starting price of a website include?

The starting price includes building your site, launching it, hosting and a domain name for the first year, and training on how to use it. Your content and your domain name belong to you; the ownership terms for the site itself (code, licenses for third-party themes and plugins) are set out in the quote.

Why are prices shown as “starting at”?

Because no two projects ever require exactly the same work. The final amount depends on the number of pages, the features, and the content to add. It’s set in a free, detailed quote before you commit to anything: you know what you’re paying before any work begins.

How much does a website cost including VAT?

With Belgian VAT at 21%, a custom-coded business website starts at €1,934.79 incl. VAT, a WordPress business website at €1,329.79 incl. VAT, and an online store at €3,267 incl. VAT. If your business is registered for VAT, you can generally deduct it: your accountant can confirm this.

What costs should I expect after the first year?

Hosting and the domain name renew every year so your site stays online; the renewal price is stated in your quote. Maintenance is optional: €50 excl. VAT per hour for one-off work, or an annual plan at €500 excl. VAT per year for regular upkeep.

Why does a custom site cost more than a WordPress site?

A custom site is hand-coded for your business: its design is unique and it has no theme or unnecessary plugins, which keeps it lightweight and fast. This work takes a little more time: 2–3 weeks, compared with 1–2 weeks for a WordPress business website. It’s the option I recommend. WordPress remains a more affordable alternative that lets you edit your text and photos yourself.

Is the quote free, with no obligation?

Yes. The quote is free and comes with no obligation. It details what’s included, the price excluding VAT, and the timeline. Nothing starts without your approval.
