Frequently asked questions

How much does a website for a small business cost?

An Onepage website costs 19 900 Kč, a multipage website 39 900 Kč, a website with a content management system (admin) 75 000 Kč. Integrations with other systems start at 60 000 Kč, and I always set the price after an analysis, never as a guess over the phone. Every project has a fixed price agreed in advance, I don't bill by the hour. Prices are approximate. For example, if you need an Onepage website with a booking system integration and we can handle it simply with something like Calendly or Reservio, the price can stay under 35 000 Kč.

What is included in the website price, and what isn't?

The price includes design, coding, deployment to hosting, HTTPS setup, basic SEO, a contact form and training. It does not include copywriting (text content), photography, logo design, translations into other languages, extensive SEO optimization beyond the basics, or migrating content from an old website. I can arrange these too, but they are billed separately.

How long does it take to build a website?

An Onepage website usually takes 2 to 3 weeks, a multipage website 4 to 6 weeks, and a website with admin and integrations 6 to 10 weeks. The deadline is not counted from signing the contract, but from the moment you deliver the materials, text and photos. The most common reason for delay isn't development, it is waiting for content from the client.

Do I need a website with admin (CMS), or is one without enough?

You need admin when you will be changing content yourself and often, for example adding articles, news, products or portfolio items. If your website content changes only a few times a year (a price list update, opening hours), a website without admin is cheaper and faster, with small edits handled through me. The price difference is 19 900 versus 75 000 Kč, so it is worth thinking it through based on how often you will actually publish.

Can you connect the website to a booking system?

Yes. I don't build a custom booking system from scratch though, I connect proven, ready made services like Reservio, SimplyBook.me or Calendly. That way you get a working calendar, automatic confirmation emails, SMS reminders and capacity management for a few hundred crowns a month, instead of paying hundreds of thousands for a custom solution that nobody then maintains.

Can you connect a payment gateway?

Yes, I connect standard gateways, Stripe, GoPay, Comgate or ThePay. Just like with bookings, I don't build a custom payment solution: payment processing is subject to strict regulation and security standards, so it makes sense to use a certified provider. My job is to connect the gateway correctly to your website and to your invoicing.

What does "integration" mean, and when do I need it?

Integration means connecting the website to systems already running in the company, invoicing software, CRM, a booking system or inventory. You need it when someone is manually retyping data from the website elsewhere: typing an order into the invoicing system, copying an inquiry into a spreadsheet, writing a booking into a paper diary. This retyping is exactly where companies lose time and where mistakes happen.

Who owns the domain?

The domain is always registered in the client's name, from day one. I am only listed as the technical contact. That means the domain belongs to you and you can do whatever you want with it at any time, I don't hold it hostage and you don't need my permission to transfer it.

Where will the website be hosted, and what if I want to leave?

The website runs on a server that I manage, and hosting is part of the monthly management service. If you decide to move elsewhere, I export all your data and files and hand them over to your new provider, for a one time fee of 5 000 Kč. No notice periods or penalties, the domain and website are still yours.

Who writes the website's text?

At the standard price, the client provides the text, you know best what you do and how you talk about it with your customers. If you don't have the text and don't want to write it, I can arrange copywriting as a separate item. I recommend sorting this out right at the start: the most common reason a website drags on for months is that nobody wrote the text.

How many changes and revisions are included in the price?

The price includes two rounds of feedback, one after the design is presented and one before launch. Further changes beyond that are billed at 1 500 Kč per hour. This rule protects both sides: you know how much the project will cost, and I don't end up on the tenth round of "move that image slightly".

How does payment work?

Payment is split into two installments: a 50% deposit before work starts (due within 7 days) and the remaining 50% at handover. I start work only once the deposit is received. Full access to the website and transfer of copyright happen once the full amount is paid.

Do you handle SEO too?

Basic SEO is part of every website: meta tags, heading structure, image alt text, a sitemap, loading speed, a mobile version. That means the website is built from the start so search engines can read it correctly. Ongoing SEO optimization, building backlinks and creating content for search engines is a separate service beyond the website price.

What does monthly website management include, and do I have to have it?

Management includes hosting, the domain, an SSL certificate, security updates, backups and small content edits. It costs 1 500 to 3 000 Kč a month depending on the scope of the website. It isn't mandatory, but without it you have to handle technical operation yourself or through someone else, for a website with admin or integrations I recommend keeping this hosting with me.

How does the whole collaboration work, step by step?

I reply to inquiries within 24 hours and we arrange a roughly 30 minute call where I find out what you need. Within 48 hours of the call you get a written, one page offer with a fixed price. Then comes a two page contract, the deposit, you delivering the materials, approving the homepage design, and the actual build with weekly progress updates. At the end I launch the website, train you on it, and I am available for further development.

Tell me what you need.

I reply within 24 hours. A few sentences are enough, we will sort out the rest over coffee.

What slows you down the most?

No spam, no obligations.

Thanks, I will reply within 24 hours.
