Website subscription — €249 a month
A complete website for €249 a month, with nothing to pay upfront. Hosting, domain and maintenance are included. After 12 months the payments stop and the code, content and domain transfer to you — you're tied to nothing after that.
What is a website subscription?
With a website subscription you don't pay a large amount upfront, but a fixed amount each month. For most business owners that is the real barrier: not the price of a good website, but having it leave the account all at once.
Here a complete website costs €249 a month for 12 months. There is no deposit and no setup fee. After the final instalment the website is yours — including the source code, the content and the domain name.
What you get for €249 a month
Everything is included; no separate invoice follows:
- A complete website of up to 6 pages — design, build and launch on my proven setup, tailored to your sector. Not a template;
- Hosting in Frankfurt (EU), domain name and SSL — included, you arrange nothing;
- Maintenance — updates, backups, security and uptime monitoring;
- 30 minutes of changes a month — new opening hours, a price, a photo: you email it, I change it;
- Ownership after 12 months — code, content and domain, at no extra cost.
How it works: 12 months, then it's yours
| When | What happens | What you pay |
|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | I build your site and take it live — usually within 4 to 6 weeks | Only the first monthly instalment, no deposit |
| Months 2–12 | Hosting, domain, maintenance and your changes continue | €249 a month |
| From month 13 | Code, content and domain transfer to you | Nothing more, or €59 a month if you want to keep the maintenance |
What does it cost in total?
Over the full term you pay €2,988 (excl. VAT): 12 instalments of €249. That covers the build, the hosting, the domain and a year of maintenance.
If you'd rather pay once, you can: a landing page starts at €1,450 and a complete custom site is €3,750, with maintenance separately at €59 a month. Then the site is yours straight away. Which of the two works out better depends on what you can spare now — not on what I'd prefer to sell. See the one-off packages.
How this differs from other website subscriptions
Website subscriptions aren't new, but with most providers the site stays the provider's property. You keep paying for as long as you're a customer, and when you stop you're left with nothing — no code, sometimes not even your own copy. That isn't a subscription, it's a rental.
Here it's the other way round: the term is 12 months and after that the website is demonstrably yours. That isn't just sales copy, it's in the terms and conditions: ownership transfers after the final instalment, I hand over the complete source code, the content and the domain within 14 days, and I stipulate no continuing licence or hosting obligation.
For custom software too
The same arrangement applies to software: a web app or SaaS product for €795 a month over 12 months (€9,540 in total, excl. VAT). After that the source code sits in your own Git repository.
That is roughly the same as the one-off price of a web app (€9,500) — you're spreading the payment, not buying it cheaper. What you do gain is that no vendor can lock you into their platform. Discuss your idea.
The terms in short
- Fixed 12-month term. The monthly amount is the spread payment for work already done, so it can't be cancelled mid-term; if you stop early the remaining instalments become due at once;
- Monthly in advance, by invoice; direct debit is possible once you provide a SEPA mandate;
- Retention of title. During the term you have a right of use; ownership transfers after the final instalment (art. 3:92 Dutch Civil Code);
- No automatic renewal. After 12 months the subscription ends, unless you want to keep the maintenance — and that is cancellable monthly;
- Business offer (B2B). All amounts exclude 21% Dutch VAT.

Start with nothing upfront
It starts like every project here: with a free audit of your current site and a free mockup of your new homepage. Only once you like what you see do we agree the subscription. You pay nothing until then. Request the free audit or first look at the subscription on the homepage.
