# Why I do not build a website for €500

By [Bjarne Fomferra](https://nucez.com/en/about) · 26.10.2026

Every now and then someone asks me: "Elsewhere a website costs €500, why is it €2,500 with you?" A fair question. Here is my honest answer.

## [What €500 means in hours](/en/blog/individuelle-firmenwebsite-statt-ki-website)

A website with structure, copy, images, a form, testing and go-live takes **time**. At €500, only a few hours are left for all that. It only works if hardly anything is made individually: a **template or an AI site builder**, filled in quickly and put online.

These days such sites are often built by people who **do not know the technology behind them** themselves. The AI supplies layout and copy, and the result looks tidy at first glance. Why so many websites then look alike is covered in the article [Individual company website instead of an AI template](/en/blog/individuelle-firmenwebsite-statt-ki-website).

## [What is missing](/en/blog/individuelle-firmenwebsite-statt-ki-website)

- **A face of your own:** templates look alike. Your business gets lost among the others.
- **Technology that holds up:** loading speed, clean code and the basics for Google and AI search do not happen by themselves.
- **Someone who is there:** the form stops delivering, the site is offline, an update breaks something. At €500 there is often nobody left to reach who can fix it.

In the end you often pay twice: once for the site and once for the repair or a rebuild.

## [What you get from me](/en/blog/individuelle-firmenwebsite-statt-ki-website)

I build every website **myself**, from structure to go-live. You have **one fixed contact** in Enger in the Herford district, the site runs on **German servers**, and if something gets stuck, I take care of it.

So you know where you stand up front, there are **three packages at a fixed price**:

- **Ready to go** for €2,500: up to 10 pages, responsive design, contact form, SEO and AI basics, go-live.
- **Get found** for €3,000: plus Google Business Profile and the 5 most important business directories.
- **Stay on it** for €3,500: plus an ongoing SEO check every quarter and 2 hours of changes per month. Because SEO does not work overnight.

All prices are net of VAT. On top comes a **monthly fee from around €70** for hosting, updates and security, as long as the site is hosted with me.

## [In short](/en/blog/individuelle-firmenwebsite-statt-ki-website)

A cheap site is built quickly. A site that fits your business, gets found and still runs in two years takes more time. I take that time.
