Website planning guide · Kattintó Studio
Website pricing: what goes into a quote?
A website’s cost is about more than its page count. It depends on what it needs to do for your business, the content you already have, and the features your customers will use.
1. Start with the job your website needs to do
A salon may only need a clear page with treatments, prices, opening hours and contact details. A clinic offering several specialties may need individual service pages, team introductions and more detailed information.
More features are not always better. Start with the action you want visitors to take: call, send a message, request an appointment or ask for a quote. That decision should shape the structure of the site.
2. The main factors in a website quote
- Pages and content: a single introduction or several detailed service pages.
- Design: working with your existing identity or developing a new visual direction.
- Copy and photography: using prepared material, writing new text or sourcing imagery.
- Features: a contact form, appointment system or connection to an external service.
- Languages: translation, separate language pages and ongoing content updates.
- An existing website: migrating useful content and redirecting old URLs also takes planning.
3. One-off work and ongoing costs
Design and development are usually a one-off project. Domain renewal, hosting and some external services can have recurring fees. Email delivery and booking tools may also be priced according to the provider and usage.
Maintenance can be agreed separately. Decide who will update service prices and text, maintain technical dependencies and handle future fixes. A useful quote distinguishes the initial build, third-party costs and ongoing support.
4. What to prepare before requesting a quote
- A short introduction to your business and its main services.
- The website’s main goal, such as more enquiries or simpler appointment requests.
- Your existing domain and website address, if you have them.
- Any available logo, photos, price lists and written content.
- Two or three websites you like, with a short explanation of what appeals to you.
- Your preferred launch date, required languages and essential features.
5. Getting a quote from Kattintó Studio
Our Starter package focuses on a clear one-page presence. Business is suited to a more detailed, multi-page introduction. Appointment booking and more involved enquiry workflows are scoped individually.
We do not advertise a misleading fixed price before understanding the work. Your initial short consultation and visual direction are free, with no obligation. You can decide whether to continue once the scope and quote are clear.
