At SIMPLY CODE SOLUTIONS, a website costs CHF 300 – 500 for a one-page business card site, CHF 600 – 950 for a small website with up to 5 pages, CHF 1'500 – 2'300 for a company website with up to 12 pages or CHF 3'500 – 5'500 for a large website with up to 30 pages. Add-ons such as online booking or additional languages come on top. These are guide prices. You receive the binding quote after we talk.
These amounts stay low because your website is built on a template, with your logo, your colours and your content. Display on phone and desktop and the technical groundwork for search engines are standard. All amounts are in our overview of website prices and add-ons.
Which package fits which business?
- Business card site, CHF 300 – 500: one page with your offer, contact details and directions. That is enough if you work mainly through recommendations.
- Small website, CHF 600 – 950: up to 5 pages, for example home, services, prices, about me and contact, with a contact form. This is the package for most dog trainers, hairdressers and trades businesses.
- Company website, CHF 1'500 – 2'300: up to 12 pages, with editing the content yourself included. It suits an accounting firm or a practice with several services and a team.
- Large website, CHF 3'500 – 5'500: up to 30 pages in several sections. Editing the content yourself and “Prepared for Google” are included. Companies with several business areas need this one.
Count your pages before you choose. A page is anything with its own address, such as prices or team.
Add-ons with a fixed amount
Most add-ons have a fixed amount. Here is a selection, and the rest are on the pricing page.
- Embed online booking from an existing tool: CHF 100 – 170
- Own online booking with calendar: CHF 900 – 1'400
- Edit the content yourself: CHF 200 – 340, included from the company website up
- Prepared for Google, meaning keywords, page copy and business profile: CHF 150 – 250, included in the large website
- Login area for customers or members: CHF 900 – 1'400
- Online payment by card and TWINT: CHF 500 – 800
Custom design instead of a template, texts and images from us and each additional language are a share of the package price. The shares are on the pricing page. If you stay with a template and one language and supply texts and images yourself, none of this applies.
We do not promise a Google ranking, because it also depends on your content, the competition and time.
Three model cases
These are model cases using the figures above, none of them a client project. The project assistant works out the total for your own selection.
Example 1: dog trainer with online booking
Five pages are enough for a dog trainer. Her customers should pick appointments online, and the booking tool she already uses is embedded.
- Package: small website, CHF 600 – 950
- Add-on: embed online booking from an existing tool, CHF 100 – 170
Example 2: accounting firm with news and its own editing
An accounting firm shows its services, the team and notes on deadlines. It edits the notes itself several times a year and publishes them as news.
- Package: company website, CHF 1'500 – 2'300
- Included: edit the content yourself
- Add-ons: blog or news, CHF 150 – 250, and “Prepared for Google”, CHF 150 – 250
Example 3: trades business with two languages and its own design
A trades business in German-speaking Switzerland and Ticino needs the website in German and Italian, a gallery of finished work and a design that matches its vans.
- Package: company website, CHF 1'500 – 2'300
- Add-on: image gallery or portfolio, CHF 80 – 130
- As a share of the package price: one additional language and custom design instead of a template
Example 3 comes out higher than example 2, because language and design grow with the package price. So check early whether the template in your colours is enough.
What moves the amount within the price range
- How finished your texts and images are. The time until texts are approved is often the biggest factor.
- How many pages depart from the pattern. A prices page with a table takes more building than a plain text page.
- Whether an existing website is being replaced. Then we redirect old addresses so existing links and Google entries do not lead nowhere.
What does a website cost per month?
Hosting and the domain carry on after launch and are not included in the package. We state the amounts in the quote. Add subscriptions for third-party services, such as a booking tool, and with online payment the payment provider's fees per sale. Updates, backups and monitoring you handle yourself or hand to us as website care for CHF 30 – 50 per month. The article Website maintenance: what it covers and costs explains what that includes.
When something else fits better
- If you want to build and maintain everything yourself, a website builder is often enough. The comparison website builder or agency helps you decide.
- If you sell several products with a cart and shipping, see the article What does an online shop cost in Switzerland?.
- If people need to sign in and work with their own data every day, you need a web app. The comparison website or web app shows where the line is.
How to get your own figure
In the project assistant for your website you choose a package and add-ons and get an estimate straight away, with a price range and timeframe. We usually reply within 1 to 2 working days. We then talk through pages, content and add-ons, and you receive the binding quote after that. What we deliver is on the page website development.
