A website on a monthly subscription, not a project price
The same projects we deliver at a fixed price in Hildesheim and the surrounding region — simply paid for differently: a setup fee and then a fixed monthly price covering hosting, maintenance, monitoring and a change allowance. If you would rather buy the project outright, the project price for the same scope is right next to it.
In short and in plain language
This page is about a website on a subscription. You pay a setup fee and then a fixed price each month.
You get the same website as when you buy it. We plan, design and build it for you.
The monthly price covers a lot. We host your site in Germany and keep it up to date. We back it up and make small changes for you.
The website stays our property. The subscription has a minimum term of 12 or 24 months. After that it goes on. Then you can cancel it with one month notice to the end of the month. The subscription is for firms, the self-employed and clubs.
The first talk is free. We work out the cost of both ways for you. Write to us or give us a call.
A business website starts at 3,900 € net with us, and so does an online shop. For many businesses in Hildesheim and the region that is the right investment — for others it lands at the wrong moment or does not fit the cash-flow plan. So the same projects are now available monthly: you pay a setup fee and then a fixed amount that already covers the build, the hosting and ongoing support. This page puts both routes side by side, with the same packages and open figures.
The subscription in five sentences
- You pay a one-off setup fee from 390 € net and then a fixed monthly price from 109 € net.
- The monthly price includes hosting in Germany, updates, backups, monitoring and a fixed change allowance.
- There are two terms: 12 months or 24 months at the lower monthly price.
- After the minimum term the subscription continues indefinitely and can be cancelled with one month's notice to the end of the month.
- If you want to own the project, you commission it at a project price from 1,490 € net instead — both prices appear in the same table.
How the website subscription works
Nothing changes about the project itself. You get the same work as with the project price: concept, individual design, implementation, legal texts, accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA and the groundwork for search engine optimisation. The difference lies solely in the billing. Instead of a project price followed by maintenance from 49 € per month, you pay a setup fee and then a monthly price that already covers the build.
The process is identical either way: initial consultation, written quote with a fixed scope, concept and design draft for approval, implementation, go-live. Only afterwards does your invoice look different. In the consultation we work through both options for your case — even when the result argues against the subscription.
Concept and design
Structure, page architecture and an individual layout based on your brand. You see a concept and a draft before anything is built.
Hosting in Germany
Operated on servers in Germany, HTTPS certificate, daily backups and a separate preview environment — included in the monthly price.
Maintenance and security
Regular updates of the system and extensions, security checks and restoration from backup if the worst happens.
Changes included
A fixed allowance per month for texts, images, prices, contacts and small additions. An e-mail is enough.
Monitoring
Availability, certificate expiry and loading time are checked continuously. If something breaks, we get in touch — not your customers.
A contact nearby
Meetings in person in Hildesheim and the surrounding area, no ticket system and no rotating case handlers.
The three packages as a subscription
These are the same three project sizes as on the Pricing page — one-pager, business website and online shop. The switch above the table shows either the monthly price with a 12 or 24 month minimum term, or the one-off project price for the same scope.
Website subscription: three packages
A one-off setup fee plus a fixed monthly price. The switch shows the same packages as a commissioned project at a fixed price.

Entry into the subscription · net plus VAT
- Hosting, maintenance and monitoring are included in the monthly price
- A fixed change allowance instead of billing by the hour
- Cancellable monthly after the minimum term
- The same scope of work as with the project price
The one-pager begins at 109 € net per month on the 24-month term plus 390 € setup. The business website costs 229 € plus 1,490 € setup, the online shop 299 € net per month plus 1,900 € setup. With a 12-month minimum term the one-pager, business website and online shop cost 129 €, 279 € and 359 € net per month. If you commission the project outright, it costs from 1,490 € or from 3,900 € net — the prices are listed on the Pricing page.
Prices as of September 2026.
Subscription or project price — which suits you?
Both routes are complete offerings, and we earn from both. The decision comes down to two questions: do you want to own the website? And do you want to tie up capital at the start or pay monthly instead? Everything else is arithmetic, and we set it out openly below.
The honest comparison
Neither model is better in principle. These are the points that decide it in practice.
Website subscription
- Included: Low entry cost, fixed monthly rate
- Included: Hosting, maintenance and changes are included
- Included: An ongoing operating expense, deductible immediately
- Included: One invoice instead of a project plus a support contract
- Not included: The website remains our property
- Not included: Minimum term of 12 or 24 months
One-off project price
- Included: The website is yours after acceptance and full payment
- Included: No commitment, you choose your provider freely
- Included: Maintenance is voluntary and cancellable monthly
- Not included: The full amount falls due during the project
- Not included: Hosting and maintenance cost extra
- Not included: Larger changes are commissioned individually
A worked example over 24 months
The most honest comparison puts both routes over the same period with the same scope. We take the business website because it is commissioned most often, and we include maintenance at 99 € per month on the project-price side — without it the comparison would be lopsided, because hosting and support are already part of the subscription.
| Cost over 24 months | Subscription (business website) | Project price plus maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| One-off at the start | 1,490 € setup | 3,900 € project price |
| Monthly | 229 € net | 99 € net |
| Total over 24 months | 6,986 € net | 6,276 € net |
| Changes included | 2 hours per month | small changes |
| Capital tied up at the start | 1,490 € | 3,900 € |
| Ownership of the website | stays with us | with you after acceptance and payment |
What the figures show
Not sure which route fits?
Describe your plans briefly. We will work through both options for your case and tell you which is cheaper — even when that argues against the subscription.
What the subscription does not cover
A subscription that supposedly covers everything is either priced expensively or it is not true. So here is what costs extra, stated plainly:
- A complete relaunch within the term, for example after a change of brand — that is what the website relaunch page is for
- Search advertising and local SEO — both are separate services with their own monthly support
- Texts, photos and video we create or license for you — available at a fixed price on request
- Interfaces to inventory management, ERP or accounting that go beyond the basic setup
- Extensions with their own licence costs, such as a booking, applicant or point-of-sale system
- Changes beyond the monthly allowance — we always ask first, an invoice never appears unannounced
From the first conversation to ongoing operation
Initial consultation
Free and without obligation, by phone or at your premises in Hildesheim and the surrounding area. We clarify scope, timing and which package realistically fits.
Quote
You receive a written quote stating the package, number of pages, change allowance, term and both price options side by side. What it says is what applies.
Concept and draft
Page structure, navigation and a designed draft of the home page. Changes to the draft are part of the work to the agreed extent.
Implementation
Implementation, content transfer, legal texts, accessibility and loading time optimisation. You review the result on a protected preview address.
Go-live
Switching the domain, the certificate, redirects from old addresses, submission to search engines and a briefing on the editing system.
Ongoing operation
From now on the subscription runs: updates, backups, monitoring and your change allowance — with a fixed contact instead of a ticket system.

Contract, cancellation and ownership
The subscription is a contract for providing and operating a website, not a purchase in instalments. Ownership of the website stays with us during the term — that is why the monthly amount sits well below financing the project price. After the minimum term of 12 or 24 months the contract continues indefinitely and can be canceled with one month's notice to the end of the month; an email is sufficient. There is no automatic extension by another year. Subscription and one-off purchase are governed primarily by our special terms for website and shop packages.
If you cancel, you take with you: your domain, your content in text and images, your enquiry and order data, and for a shop the complete product catalogue – as an export in common formats (CSV, JSON or XML, images in their original format), within ten working days of your request and at no additional cost. What you cannot take is the technical implementation itself. If you want to keep the website, you can buy out the subscription at any time: you pay the one-off price of the booked package as stated in the quote, minus any setup fee paid; monthly fees already paid are not credited. On payment the subscription ends, and no remaining minimum term is charged. Anyone who wants to buy the website from the outset should choose the project price; that is expressly the direct route there.
