International price list · in US dollars

Pricing

Our plans and their prices in US dollars, what drives a price up, and what we keep alive after launch.

Most providers refuse to give a price until they have “discussed the project”. We do the opposite: a business leader has the right to know what their plans will cost before committing to an hour-long conversation. Our prices are real, honoured, and reviewed every six months.

  • A site from $300
  • Amounts excluding tax
  • The code and the data are yours

01, Build

Seven plans, from a one-page site to software.

Each plan has a starting price, and all but the last have an upper limit. Your quote falls within the range, or we explain exactly why. A tighter budget? We reduce the scope with you, never the quality.

  1. 01Presence

    Essential

    From$300up to $600

    Who it is forA freelancer, an artisan, a young brand, a launch or an event: a single page that introduces you, reassures and gets people messaging you on WhatsApp.

    What is included

    • A layout designed from our design system, never a purchased theme

    Worth knowingThe price holds because the scope is strict: one page, your text and images, one round of revisions. Any request beyond that moves you to Showcase.

02, What raises the price

Why the price goes up.

A price is time and risk. Every addition needs design, development, testing, then years of maintenance. Here is what moves a project within its range, or up to the next plan, and by how much.

  1. The number of pages and layouts

    An extra page costs little when it reuses an existing layout; a new layout needs designing, building and testing on every screen.

    Our priceAn extra page on an existing layout: $80–$150. A new layout: $250–$400.

  2. The content

    If you supply all your text and images, the price stays at the low end of the range. If we write the text, the writing time is added.

    Our priceWriting: $40–$120 per page. Photos, bespoke illustrations and video: by quote.

  3. Languages

    A language planned from the design stage fits into the layout; added after launch, it forces everything to be redone.

    Our priceAllow 25–35% more for each language added, planned from the design stage. Translation is billed at cost.

  4. Motion and 3D

    Animation that stays smooth on a mid-range phone, accessible and with no stutter, is tuned frame by frame: that is where the time goes.

    Our priceThe immersive level is a separate plan: Immersive Signature, from $3,000 to $5,000, instead of $1,300–$2,500 for Signature.

  5. Sections you maintain yourself

    News, projects, entries: a section you update without us needs an editing area, templates and safeguards.

    Our price$150–$400 per section. Beyond twenty or so products with a basket, the project moves to Commerce, from $3,200.

  6. Online payment

    Basket, Mobile Money, bank card, stock and notifications: as soon as you take payments, the site becomes a platform, and every payment has to be secure.

    Our priceThat is the Commerce plan, from $3,200. Payment gateway fees remain your responsibility.

  7. Connections to your tools

    CRM, appointment calendar, accounting, email marketing tool: each connection is built, tested, then monitored when the tool changes.

    Our price$150–$600 per standard connection; a bespoke API is priced by quote.

  8. An AI agent

    An agent draws on your content, is tuned to your real questions and is monitored over time: it cannot be dropped in like a widget.

    Our priceAn agent on your site alone, passing on contacts: $600–$1,200 extra. On WhatsApp and on the site, with lead qualification and appointment booking: that is the Conversational Agent, from $1,600. Usage is passed on at cost, with no margin, under a cap.

  9. Accounts and data

    As soon as there are areas with login, roles, personal data or an access log, the project stops being a site and becomes a business application.

    Our priceBy quote. Bringing your data processing into compliance is priced separately.

  10. Several brands, several decision-makers, a site to take over

    Several entities, several approval workflows, a migration with its redirects: coordination becomes part of the work.

    Our priceThat is the Group redesign, by quote.

03, Keep it alive

The Living Contract.

Most sites stop being maintained once they are delivered. We built our model the other way round: every delivered project includes 3 months of support (1 month for Essential). After that, you choose your level, or you take back control, in writing.

Light Watch · $40 per monthFor an Essential or Showcase site: hosting, weekly backups, certificates and updates, with no hours of changes included.

Every month you receive a page of figures, no jargon: your site’s availability, the fixes applied, the incidents resolved and, for an agent, the conversations handled and the contacts passed on.

  • The annual price gives you 12 months for the price of 10.
  • Each additional site, application or agent under the same contract adds 55% of the level’s price.
  • Several brands or a complete system: a bespoke contract, from $900 per month.

What the contract does not cover

  • A major visual redesign or a change of visual identity
  • Adding modules that were not in the original scope
  • Third-party service usage, passed on at cost, with no margin, under a cap
  • Incidents caused by a third party’s intervention that was not coordinated with us
  • A migration forced by a major version of a third-party platform
  • Recovering data after an incident that occurred before we took over

Anything excluded is handled through a priced amendment, approved in writing before work starts.

04, Our commitments

What we commit to in writing.

A young company does not ask you to take its word for it. It makes a commitment, and puts it in the contract.

05, Payment

Pay in three stages.

You pay in step with what you see: on order, when the site is accepted, then at launch.

  1. 50%on order
  2. 30%on acceptance
  3. 20%at launch
Currency
Prices are given in US dollars, excluding tax; each quote is set according to the client’s country.
Accepted methods
Bank transfer, MTN MoMo, Moov Money.
Review
The price list is reviewed every 6 months; a signed contract is never repriced before it expires.

06, Questions

The questions we are asked.

Short answers, before we talk.

Why a range, and not a single price?
Because a 6-page site and a 40-page site do not cost the same. The range is real: your quote falls within it, or we explain exactly why.
Can I take the site without the Living Contract?
Yes. The included support ends, then you decide. We simply ask you to confirm in writing that you are taking over responsibility for your system, so that it is clear between us.
I already have a technical provider.
That is fine. We are happy to work alongside an existing team. Our role is then to take on what nobody is steering: most often the content, the security and the overall consistency.
You are a young company. Why entrust my project to you?
Because we do not ask you to take our word for it. You can stop after the design phase, you are covered by a 90-day guarantee, and the code is yours upon full payment.
Will these prices change?
We review the price list every 6 months. A signed contract is never repriced before it expires.

Let’s talk about your project.

A first conversation of 30 minutes, free of charge. You leave with the plan that suits you and a rough idea of its price.
