The different types of website

Before looking at the factors that influence the price of a website, it is important to understand the different types of website that exist. Here are the main categories of website:

Showcase website A showcase site is a website that presents the company, its products or services, and its contact details. This is the most common type of site for small and medium-sized businesses, as it is simple to set up and allows the company to be presented in a professional way online.
E-commerce website An e-commerce site is a website for selling products or services online. This type of site is becoming increasingly common in Switzerland, as it allows you to reach a wider audience and sell 24 hours a day.
Tailor-made website A bespoke site is a website that requires more advanced customisation, such as the creation of specific functionalities or the implementation of a complex design. This type of site is often used by large companies with specific needs.

Many customers are afraid to see quotes with low prices in Switzerland, but just look at the quality of the 385+ websites we have created to get an idea.

Factors influencing the price of a website

The cost of a website depends on a number of factors, including :

The complexity of the site : The more complex the site, the higher the cost. For example, a showcase site with a few pages will be cheaper than an e-commerce site with hundreds of products.
The level of customisation : The more advanced the customisation required, the higher the cost. For example, a made-to-measure site with a complex design will be more expensive than a showcase site with a preconceived theme or made with WIX.
Features : Certain functionalities, such as setting up an online payment system, can considerably increase the cost of the site.
Type of accommodation : The cost of hosting depends on the size of the site, the expected traffic and the quality of the host. It is important to choose a reliable, high-performance host to ensure the site's security and stability.
Additional services : Some service providers offer additional services, such as site maintenance or natural referencing, which can increase the total cost.

Prices for creating a website in Switzerland

The rates charged in Switzerland for creation of a website depend on the factors mentioned above, as well as on the region and the service provider chosen. In general, prices in Switzerland are fairly high compared with other countries, due to the cost of living and the level of quality required.

Why not look for a web agency abroad?

From what you've read, you're thinking, why not hire a web agency abroad (France, Spain, Italy, etc.). But looking for a web agency outside Switzerland isn't necessarily a good idea, and I'll explain why.

Confidentiality : Your data, and that of your customers, may be installed on servers outside Switzerland, and so your data and that of your customers may be potentially at risk.
Quality of work : We've had to recover/repair websites for clients who had called on the services of web developers from abroad (India, Pakistan, Europe, etc.). And often, the quality of the work, in general, left a lot to be desired (often with problems understanding English/French). That's not to brag, we were trained in Switzerland and produce impeccable 100% Swiss Made work. As a result, your website/its security will always be up to date and the texts/content will be revised by us.
Access to your data and exclusivity: The importance of using a trusted agency in SwitzerlandThis gives you peace of mind that you have access to the data on your site and can retrieve it if you need it or make any changes. If you hire an agency/person from abroad, you will have no guarantee that they have copied your site and sold it to another company as a template. Our work will always be exclusive.
