Pricing

A number before you commit, and no twelve-month lock-in.

Every project starts with a free written scope and a fixed price for the first milestone. After that you pay for two-week blocks you can stop at the end of, or a set number of days a month.

What moves the price

The questions in your scope are mostly about these.

Unique page templates

Ten pages built from three layouts cost far less than ten one-off designs.

Custom features

Booking, payments, member areas, calculators and portals are where most of the budget goes.

Integrations

Payment gateways (Stripe, eSewa, Khalti), CRMs, ERPs and booking systems each add setup and testing.

Content

Writing, translating and photographing content takes longer than most people plan for.

Languages

A second language doubles the content work and adds layout and SEO work (hreflang, fonts, right-to-left).

Catalogue size

For stores: product count, variants and how the data gets in.

Compliance

Accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA), privacy and cookie consent, and industry rules add review time.

Timeline

A hard deadline can mean more people in parallel, which costs more per week.

After launch

Hosting, monitoring, updates and improvements are a separate, predictable monthly cost.

Every project

Included whatever the size

Frequently asked questions

Why is there no fixed price list?

Because two projects with the same page count can differ in cost by several times, depending on features, integrations and content. A price list either overcharges simple projects or hides extras in the small print. Instead you get a written scope and a fixed price for the first milestone, free, before anything starts.

Is the quote free?

Yes. You tell us what you need and get back a scope, a timeline and a number. There is no paid discovery phase standing between you and that answer. For large or unclear projects we may suggest a short paid discovery, but only if you want one.

Can you work to a fixed budget?

Yes. Tell us the budget and we scope to it: what fits in the first milestone, what can wait for a later block, and what is not worth building yet. That conversation is usually more useful than a quote for a wish list.

What happens if the work takes longer than planned?

On the first milestone, that is our risk: the price is fixed. After that, each two-week block is planned and priced before it starts, you see a demo at the end, and you decide whether to continue, change direction or stop.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on the market and the features. Our cost guides give typical ranges for Nepal, the USA, Australia, Canada and the UK, and explain what moves the number. For a firm figure for your project, send a few lines through the contact page.
