WEBSITES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

Your website is ready in five business days, and I write the copy too.

All you do is fill in a short questionnaire and send me a few details. You don't have to write any copy, and you don't need to know anything about websites. I work off a finished base, so there are no weeks of design and meetings.

A one-page site is now €287; a three-to-five-page site is €483. The domain is registered in your name, and you get the code and the hosting account too.

One-pager

For a business that wants to present itself on a single page.

What I see with one-person businesses is that visitors rarely click past the first page, so everything goes on one page you scroll through: who you are, what you offer, testimonials, opening hours, a map and a contact form. That's all that fits on a phone anyway, and the form is waiting at the end of the scroll.

Multi-page

For a business with several services that wants to present them on separate pages.

Three to five pages, counting the home page: a page of its own for your services, for your story, for contact and for whatever else the business needs. It's worth it when each service has to be written up separately, because search engines read a site page by page, so every service goes into the results on a page of its own.

Care plan

€22/mo

after the first three months, if you ask for it

Small sites rarely break on launch day; the trouble tends to turn up six months later, when nobody's looking. That's what the care plan is for, and this is what it covers:

I look after the hosting.
I keep the secure connection in place — that's the small padlock in the address bar — and install the security updates.
If something does break I put an earlier working version back, because every earlier state of the code and every version that went live is still there.
Two small edits a month are included: a price change, a new photo, different opening hours.
When you ask for an edit, I reply within one business day.

I don't take more than that, because I work alone and two edits a month is what I can keep up month after month — so I publish that limit instead of advertising unlimited support. Anything above it is hourly, €70, and I tell you the hours before I start.

The care plan is optional, and for the first three months it costs nothing on top, because that stretch is in the price. That opening period doesn't turn into a subscription by itself: if you say nothing, it simply ends, and no invoice follows. If you do want it to carry on, it's €22 a month from then on, and you can end it whenever you like. Without the care plan the site runs exactly the same; you just look after the hosting and the domain — the site's address — yourself.

What goes in the contract

The domain is in your name: Registered with your details from day one. If you move the site elsewhere tomorrow, the address goes with you, and you don't have to ask me for it.
The code store and the hosting account are yours: At handover, the store the code lives in (GitHub) and the account the site runs on (Vercel) both move into your name. Your site doesn't run in my account or on my bill.
You get the full source: No restrictions, and the full editing history with it. There's no licence fee, and no part of the site whose key stays with me.
No lock-in: It's an ordinary Astro project — a widely used, free tool for building websites — so any developer can pick it up without asking me anything.
Nothing more to pay after approval, and the site stays: You pay the remaining 70% when you have approved the finished site. After that I send nothing further unless you ask for the care plan, and the site keeps running on your domain, in your account. I don't switch anything off. The care plan carries on only if you ask for it, and you can end that whenever you like.

Deadline guarantee

A deadline is worth as much as it is precise about what it means and what happens if it slips. If I miss the published deadline through my own fault, that's 10% off the price for every late business day, up to 50%. On the one-pager that's €29 a day; on the multi-page site €48. You don't have to ask for it, because the invoice already shows the reduced amount.

I can promise that because the clock only runs on days when I have everything I need. It starts when the questionnaire has arrived complete, the deposit is in, and I've confirmed that to you, so the days spent waiting for it don't count against the five or the ten. I ask for your notes on the preview within one business day, but while I'm waiting for them no day counts against the deadline, however long the reply takes. It also stops if the domain, the settings that belong to it — these are called DNS records — or the Resend account that forwards the messages isn't ready for launch. It stops the same way if a change request, a missing asset or a decision only you can make comes up mid-build. As soon as it stops I write and name exactly what I'm waiting for, and it runs on again the business day after you reply.

How it goes

01

You fill in a questionnaire

The questionnaire is a form on this site: the link comes in my first reply, you work through it and send it at the end, which takes about an hour. If you'd rather answer by email, that works too. And if you'd rather, we go through it together on a one-hour video call and I type your answers in; that call is included in the price. It isn't a design meeting — it's there to get the questionnaire finished sooner, since the deadline only starts once it is complete. That list replaces the two or three meetings that stretch this kind of work into weeks elsewhere, and it's why five days is possible at all. That's also when I ask for the deposit, 30% of the price, and the deadline starts once both the questionnaire and the deposit are in.
02

You get a preview at the halfway point

You get a link showing the finished site, not yet on your own domain — on day three for the one-pager, at the halfway point of the work for the multi-page site. I ask for your notes on what to change within one business day, and that's the one revision round the price includes. If I'm the one registering your domain, I ask for its fee as that round closes, because without an address there is nothing to launch on.
03

I launch it on your domain

On the last day — day five for the one-pager, day ten for the multi-page site — the site is live at your own address, over a secure connection, with a working form. That is when the code and the account the site runs on move into your name, and you get a short note on what lives where and what to do if you want something changed. After that you look the finished site over, and I invoice the remaining 70% once you have approved it.

What you send me before I start

The same list is a form on this site, and I’ll also send the link in my first reply.

Fill in the questionnaire →

Domain: Your existing domain — the site's address — and where it's registered. If you don't have one, send two or three name ideas in order of preference, and I register the domain in your name.
Company details: Registered name, registered address, company or sole-trader registration number and tax number, copied off an official document rather than from memory. These go into the legal pages, so a typo here isn't cosmetic; it's a faulty document.
What you offer: Four to eight services or products, a sentence or two on each, and the price or starting price where you have one. This becomes the most important section of the site.
Who you work for: Three sentences on who your customers are, what problem you solve for them, and why they should pick you. I write the copy from this, so those three sentences don't go on the site word for word.
Opening hours: Day by day. If you don't keep fixed hours, write that too: the section is then left out, and it doesn't stop the clock.
Contact details: A phone number and an email address you are happy to publish, the address the form should send to, and your premises address if you have one.
Logo: The best original file you have. If you have none, the business name is set as text on the site, and logo design is a separate item.
Photos: Five to ten pictures of your work, your premises or your team. Phone photos are fine, just not ones that have been forwarded around, because those lose quality on the way. I handle the resizing.
Testimonials: Two or three quotable notes from past customers, with the name you're allowed to print next to each. If you have none, the section is left out.

The questionnaire also has three technical questions: about hosting, how the form's messages are delivered, and analytics. I explain each of them there.

What's in the price

A design of your own: I build from my own finished components, and fit the colours, the fonts, the images and the order of the sections to your business.
The first draft of the copy, written by me from the three sentences and the service list you send, so you don't have to write anything.
A one-hour video call, if you would rather fill the questionnaire in together. Longer meetings are not included, because the questionnaire exists so they are not needed.
One revision round after the preview, where you tell me what to change. Further rounds are hourly, €70, and I publish that here so it never surfaces at invoicing time.
A contact form whose messages arrive at your own email address.
A draft of the privacy and cookie notices, filled in with your registered business details. The legal texts are your responsibility as the site's operator: you review and approve the draft, with your own lawyer if you want, because I'm not a lawyer and give no legal advice.
Analytics if you want it: cookieless and anonymous, so it needs no consent banner. Off by default.
Launch on your own domain over a secure connection — the https and the small padlock in the address bar.
I register the domain in your name if you don't have one yet. You pay the registration fee at cost, because the address ends up being yours. I ask for it by transfer after the first revision round, and I buy the address in your name as soon as it arrives. This is the one fee I don't front, because it isn't billed to me.
Three months of care from the day you approve the site. After that it doesn't carry on by itself; it continues only if you ask for it.

What isn't

Online shops. I don't take those on, and in the questions below I say who to ask instead.
Card payments and payment gateways, which need a contract of their own.
Anything behind a login: customer portals, user accounts, admin panels. That's a web application, and it has a page of its own.
Migrating a large existing site with its old content and redirects, a bigger job in itself than a new build.
Photography. Photos from your own phone are fine; without them, the site launches with stand-ins you can swap later.
Ad management: Google Ads, Facebook campaigns and monthly SEO are a trade of their own.
Unlimited revisions: one round is in the price, and the rest I bill by the hour.

What you can add

Extra page: €95
Second language: €165
Booking system: €250
Blog or editable content: €165
Logo: €125
Copy from an interview instead of notes: €165

These are fixed prices, not “from” prices, because I know in advance how much work is in each one. An add-on does move the deadline: when you order it I tell you by how many business days the date shifts, and from then on that date is the one the guarantee attaches to.

Two sites I built

erdei-fahazak.hu

A searchable catalogue of Hungarian cabin rentals, with filters, a map view, detail pages and an enquiry form that reaches the owner. It's a bigger build than a brochure site, but the design, the copy and the mobile layout come from the same hands as the work on this page.

The erdei-fahazak.hu home page on mobile.

kapcsolodjki.hu

A searchable catalogue of Hungarian holiday accommodation of every type: you can filter by region, landscape and amenities, browse on a map, and every property has a page of its own. I built this one too.

Questions

Five business days, really?

Yes, and here's what makes it possible. I work off a finished base: the sections — intro, services, testimonials, map, form — already exist and already work, and I fill them with your material and fit them to your brand. The usual kickoff calls are replaced by the questionnaire, because everything I would ask on a call is already in it. There's one condition: the questionnaire has to arrive complete before day one starts, and while I'm waiting on something the clock is stopped, which I always tell you in writing.

Why this price? Others charge more, and others charge less.

I've looked at what you actually get at each level. The cheapest offers are usually templates you have to write the copy for, and often rentals: stop paying and the site goes dark. The pricier ones generally include the same things I do, and take three or four weeks. My number comes from working off one finished base and taking the calls out of the process, and what you give up for it is a brand designed from scratch and unlimited revision rounds.

What if I don't like it?

Most websites that go wrong go wrong in the same place: the client sees what was built only at the very end, and by then it's expensive to reshape. So you get a preview while the work is still running: on day three for the one-pager, at the halfway point for the multi-page site. That's where you tell me what to change — copy, colour, order, images — and that round is in the price. I show it this early because if the whole direction is off, it comes out before launch, while there's time to start again. And if the preview shows you it's not what you want, and instead of notes you tell me in writing to stop, I refund the deposit in full and there's nothing more to pay. Once you've asked for the revision round, the deposit stays, because you've accepted the direction. Silence isn't a stop: until you write, the clock stands still and the deposit stays where it is. Further rounds are hourly, €70, and I always tell you the hours first.

Do I own it? What if I cancel the care plan?

The site is yours, and that's in the contract. The domain is in your name, the repo (the place the code lives) and the hosting account move to you at handover, and the source is yours without restriction. Once the price is paid, I invoice nothing further unless you ask for the care plan, and you can end that whenever you want; the site keeps running either way.

Do you build online shops?

No. A shop brings product management, stock, shipping, a way to take card payments and returns with it, and that's work for someone who does it every day. If a ready-made platform suits you, Shopify or a ShopRenter partner is the shorter path; if it has to be custom, find a WooCommerce specialist. If you can't tell which you need, write to me anyway: I'll tell you which direction fits, and that costs nothing.

Who writes the copy?

I do. You send three sentences about who you work for and a list of what you offer, and I write the whole site from that, which you can then have rewritten at the preview. Over the years I've learned that most owners talk about their work happily and write about it reluctantly, so I can work from an interview instead: that's a separate item, €165.

Who is responsible for the legal pages?

You are, because you operate the site and you're the one handling your visitors' data. I write the draft of the privacy and cookie notices with your registered details, and if you need terms of service I help with a draft of those too, but I'm not a lawyer, so these texts don't replace legal advice. Before launch you review and approve them, with your own lawyer if you want, and their content is your responsibility. The same goes for any legal text you put on the site yourself later.

What do you need from me?

A completed questionnaire before the work starts, about an hour of your time, and your notes on the preview within one business day. The questionnaire items are listed above, and the questionnaire itself is a form on this site whose link comes in my first reply. I need nothing beyond that, so you don't have to know anything about websites, and you don't have to write copy. If you'd like help filling it in, we can go through the questionnaire on a one-hour video call, included in the price. Fill in the questionnaire →

What I need is really a system, not a website. Do you do that?

Yes, but it lives on a different page. If you need logins, user accounts, permissions or an internal process automated, that's a custom web application: it starts with a paid scoping step, and you get a fixed price after it. This page is about a website a visitor reads before getting in touch with you. Custom web applications →

Can you make orders go into my invoicing tool on their own?

Yes, but that's not part of the website; it's an automation — a program that does the steps for you and runs in your own account. I describe what I take on and what I don't, on a separate page, and the first process has a fixed price. AI automation →

When can you start?

I reply within two business days and name the earliest start in that reply. Once the questionnaire is in, work usually begins within one to two weeks. If you need the site by a fixed date, put it in your message and I'll tell you whether it fits; if it doesn't, I'll say so plainly.

How do I pay?

In two steps. I ask for 30% of the price as a deposit once the questionnaire has arrived complete: €86 on the one-pager, €145 on the multi-page site. The work and the deadline start after that. The remaining 70% falls due once the site is live on your own domain and you have looked it over and approved it; that is when I send the invoice, and the price includes three months of the care plan. The deposit is refunded if you stop the work at the preview; the terms are under "What if I don't like it?". One more thing falls due along the way: if I register a domain for you, I ask for its fee after the first revision round, because I don't front that one and the address is registered in your name. After those three months there is no new invoice: the care plan carries on only if you ask, at €22 a month, and you can end it whenever you like. I'm a VAT-exempt sole trader in Hungary, so there's no VAT on the invoice: the price on the page is the total.

Tell me what you need

Write a few sentences on what your business does, and whether you're thinking of a one-pager or something bigger. I reply within two business days: whether I'll take it, when I can start, with a link to the questionnaire. If it turns out not to be a job for me, I'll say that too, and tell you who to ask instead.
