What does a website cost?
With SitePack a website costs €15 per month and an online store from €25 per month, billed yearly and excluding VAT. Hosting, SSL, a domain name and a business mailbox are included. If you would rather not build it yourself, SitePack builds a website for €500 or an online store for €750, once.
What the calculator adds up
You answer two questions: what you need (a website, an online store, or an online store with lower transaction rates) and who builds it (you or SitePack). The calculator then shows one card with the package and these amounts.
- Price per month of the package
- The one-off build cost, if SitePack builds it for you
- The total for the first year
- The total for every year after that
How to read the result
The first-year total is twelve months of the package plus the build cost, if any. After that you only pay the package. Some examples from the calculator:
A website you build yourself costs €180 in the first year and €180 per year after that. Built for you, the first year is €680.
An Online Store Starter costs €300 per year, or €1,050 in the first year when SitePack builds it. An Online Store Grow costs €900 per year, or €1,650 in the first year with the build. Grow is for shops with more payments: it has lower transaction rates, which you can compare with the transaction cost calculator.
What is included and what is not
Every package includes the things that often show up as extra lines on other invoices.
- Hosting in the EU, with daily backups
- SSL certificate for a secure connection
- One domain name, with free DNS management
- One business mailbox of 5 GB, extra mailboxes from €3.25 per month
- Not included: extra domain names, for example .nl at €7.50, .eu at €9.50 or .com at €15.00 per year
- Not included: payment costs per order in an online store, and VAT
What to do next
When you compare quotes, put every cost on a yearly basis: hosting, domain, email, SSL, paid themes or plugins, maintenance and the build itself. A cheap first month says little about what you pay in year two.
