Website on subscription: how it works
Instead of “paid €1000 and was left alone with the website” — a working web team for a fixed monthly fee. An honest look at who benefits and where the catch is.
Market benchmarks, not an offer. Full breakdown in the table below.
One-off development
€300–1500 upfront
- You own the website outright
- Hosting, SSL, edits and promotion — separate, and on you
- A year later the site is dated and you pay for a redesign again
- The contractor delivered and left — no support
Website builder (Wix and similar)
€15–40/mo + your time
- Cheap to start
- You build and maintain everything yourself, in the evenings
- Template look and weak SEO
- The result depends on your free time
WebFora website on subscription
from €39/mo, first month €29
- Done-for-you website in ~7 days
- Hosting, SSL, edits and support included
- Domain and content stay yours forever
- Cancel anytime, 14-day refund
- The website is maintained by us while the subscription is active

What a website really costs: 3 years of ownership
The one-off price of a website is only the tip of the iceberg. Here are the typical costs (market benchmarks, not an offer):
| Item | One-off website | On subscription |
|---|---|---|
| Development | €800 one-off | €0 (part of the subscription) |
| Hosting + SSL | €10–20/mo | included |
| Edits and support | €30–80 per task | included |
| Redesign after 2–3 years | €500+ | updated within the subscription |
| Total over 3 years | ≈ €2000–3500 | €1394 (€29 + 35 × €39) |
Domain and content stay yours forever
We register the domain in your name. Texts, photos and your client base belong to you; we hand over the materials if you leave.
Cancel anytime
No minimum term and no penalties. We keep the website running until the end of the paid period.
14-day money-back guarantee
Not happy with the result — we refund you. The terms are set out transparently in the refund policy.
Frequently asked questions about the subscription
How does a “website on subscription” differ from “renting a website”?
With classic rental, a template website belongs to the contractor, and when you leave you lose everything. With us, the website is built for you, the domain and content are yours forever, and the subscription covers the work: hosting, support, edits and development. If you leave, you take the domain and materials with you.
What if I have already paid a freelancer for a website?
You don’t have to throw that money away: we can take over your existing website or carefully migrate it to us, preserving page URLs and search rankings. Start with a free audit.
Isn’t a subscription just “paying forever for nothing”?
You pay not for the website’s existence but for work done every month: hosting, security, edits, reports, and on higher plans — SEO and content. A one-off website needs all of that too — the invoices just come from three different contractors.
Can I buy the website outright?
Negotiable: for non-standard cases (buying out the source code, a one-off project) send an enquiry — we will suggest an option for your situation.
