What drives the price
Texts and photos
Supplying them yourself costs less than having them written or shot.
Features
Booking, a client area, a catalogue or card and TWINT payments add development and testing.
Design
An adapted template is faster than a mockup drawn from scratch for your brand.
Local SEO
A Google profile, pages per service and per town, structured data: this is what gets you found in Nyon or Geneva.
Links to your tools
Accounting, stock, calendar: for a business application, each interface with another system is a project of its own (CHF 10’000 to 40’000 according to Edana).
Comparing two quotes
Two quotes for the same amount may not cover the same work. Ask these six questions:
- Is the price fixed, or billed by the hour? If hourly, ask for an estimate and a cap.
- What is included: texts, photos, translation, Google profile, training?
- How many rounds of changes are included?
- Who owns the domain name and the site once paid for?
- Which fees come back every year: hosting, maintenance, licences?
- What is the timeline, and what happens if it slips?
