What does it cost to have a website built?
At TriggerHive a complete custom website starts at €1,000 (fixed price, up to 5 pages). After that you pay from €40 per month for hosting, maintenance, and small changes. For comparison: agencies often charge €3,000 to €10,000 for custom work. Providers advertising a from-price of a few hundred euros usually deliver a single-page one-pager for that, with hosting and maintenance as separate costs that recur monthly afterwards. And DIY site builders look cheap but cost you a lot of your own time.
Is a cheap website a good idea?
It depends on what you call cheap, and above all on what is not stated with the price. A from-price of a few hundred euros is often a single-page one-pager; hosting and maintenance are added monthly on top, and those amounts are rarely stated upfront. The difference is also in what you do not see straight away: load speed and findability, exactly what determines whether customers find your site and stay. Affordable and good is possible: by standardising the technology and delivering custom work where it matters (design and content), the price stays low while the site stays fast and easy to find. With TriggerHive you know both the build price and the monthly amount upfront.
Why not subscription-only like Wix or Webador?
With site-builder subscriptions you rent your site: stop paying and you lose everything, and you build and maintain it yourself. With TriggerHive the site is yours, built by a professional, and the subscription only covers hosting and maintenance. Statically built sites are also faster and more findable than site-builder sites.
Is there a catch with “from €1,000”?
No. From means: a starter site of up to 5 pages costs €1,000, agreed upfront. If you want more (extra pages, integrations, multiple languages), that is extra work at €65 per hour, always estimated upfront. You never sign up for an open end.
