One-time payment: you own it, high start cost
Traditional agencies often charge €3,000 to €8,000 for design and build. You own the site, but hosting and maintenance are separate or DIY.
This suits long-term planners with tech support in house. The downside: money leaves your account before you see the result.
Website subscription: predictable monthly rate
With a subscription you pay monthly instead of upfront. Build, hosting, SSL, backups and basic SEO sit in one rate. Changes and support are part of the deal.
At webflat.ai you start at €0. Only after written approval does billing begin on a flat monthly plan.
Three-year cost example
A €5,000 one-off plus €30 hosting per month comes to about €6,080 over 36 months. Updates are on you or billed extra.
A €99/month subscription costs €3,564 over three years if you stay. Less upfront, less code control. For many trades and practices that is the practical choice.
When each model makes sense
One-time payment fits complex projects, shops or when you want to develop the site yourself later. A subscription fits when you need a professional presence without plugin work.
A tax advisor chose the subscription because he did not want WordPress updates. A carpenter paid once because his nephew handles admin. Both can be right.
What's included in the flat rate
Up to three content pages plus legal pages, custom domain, SSL, daily backups, basic SEO, WhatsApp button and bilingual DE + EN.
Two text or image updates per month are included. Add-ons like logo design, extra pages or Google Business setup are optional.
