Building on Umbraco
♦️ Sound familiar?
Stuck between an outdated site and
a €20,000 rebuild?
Looks dated next to newer competitors
Needs a developer for even small changes
A platform you've quietly outgrown, with no clear next step
A full bespoke rebuild that's out of proportion for now
♦️ Who this is for
This isn't for everyone. That's on purpose.
If price is the only thing that matters to you, we're probably not your best fit, and that's fine.
€4,300 buys a properly scoped website on a real foundation, not a race to the bottom on the lowest bid you can find.
| This is a good fit if... | Probably not a fit if... | ||
| ▸ | You'd rather pay a fair, fixed price than chase the lowest bid. | ✕ | You're looking for the cheapest website you can find, full stop. Yes, there are definitely cheaper solutions. What you pay is what you get. |
| ▸ | You want to talk directly to the people building your site, not an account manager relaying messages. |
✕ | You need a fully bespoke, from-scratch design with no constraints (but we can help there) |
| ▸ | You're planning to grow: new sections, languages or integrations down the line. |
✕ | You are considering an AI-based website builder or any proprietary online website construction platform. |
| ▸ | You want something still solid in three years, not just impressive at launch. | ✕ | You want someone to build it and disappear, with no ongoing relationship. |
| ▸ | You care that the technology underneath is stable and well-supported. |
✕ | You're a marketing agency that just needs a quick site to round out a client package. |
| ▸ | You know a basic brochure site won't cut it for long, and want room for things like dashboards or connecting other tools later. |

We built this package for businesses who understand that the cheapest quote and the best value are rarely the same thing.
Your current site is dated and restrictive. You've outgrown it. But a fully bespoke project feels like overkill for where your business is today, and hard to justify to whoever signs off on the budget.
Here's what sits in between.
Built to last
Umbraco is stable, secure, and actively maintained; not a hobby platform that quietly disappears in two years.
Easy for you to manage
Once it's built, updating text, images and pages is simple. No coding needed, no calling us for a typo.
No licence fees
It's open-source, so you're not paying rent on your own website's software, forever.
Room to grow
Add new sections, languages, integrations or functionality as your business develops. Normal growth doesn't mean starting over.
♦️ Why we build on Umbraco
The same technology banks and universities trust, sized right for you.
Umbraco is one of the world's most established website platforms. We've spent 15+ years building on it, so we know exactly how to make it work for a business your size, not just big enterprises.
♦️ What's in the package
A complete, honestly-priced website.
A fixed-scope package for businesses that need a proper website now: not a stripped-down starter, not a bespoke six-figure build.

What's not included
Kept separate on purpose, so the €4,300 price stays honest rather than hiding the real cost of your project inside a bigger number. Most of these are available as clearly-quoted add-ons.
| + | Copywriting and branding | + | Ecommerce | + | Bespoke integrations | + | Complex data migrations |
| + | Multiple languages | + | Custom-built functionality | + | Ongoing content changes after launch | + | Major future Umbraco upgrades |
♦️ Included with every project
Every website starts with Themelion.
Themelion is our own toolkit, refined across 15+ years of Umbraco projects. Instead of building the basics from scratch, and charging you for it, we start every project with it already in place.
It's also why we can hold a fixed €4,300 price: your site is assembled from a proven set of flexible components, not hand-built as a one-off from a blank page.
Think of it as a solid foundation, so your budget goes toward what makes your business unique, not toward reinventing the basics.
| • | Your pages look right the moment someone shares them, on Facebook, LinkedIn or X |
| • | Photos load quickly on every device, so your site never feels sluggish |
| • | Cookie consent that's GDPR-friendly by default, and marketing or analytics scripts simply don't run until a visitor agrees |
| • | Built-in protection against malicious scripts trying to sneak onto your site |
| • | See all your content-editor created redirects and SEO meta data in convenient dashboards in the back office |
| Protect content so it doesn't get deleted by accident, even by administrators | |
| • | Google can find and index your pages properly, right from launch |
| • | When you're ready to add another language, the groundwork's already there, so it's a smaller job later, not a rebuild |
We moved to DotSee in a moment of crisis with our previous developer. I’ve been nothing but impressed from the outset – highly responsive, extremely knowledgeable and quick to help with both small tweaks and major improvements. A definite win for us.

♦️ Questions, answered honestly
Everything you were about to ask.
Yes. We build every site so a non-technical person can update text, images and pages without touching code. We'll also walk you through it before handing it over.
Probably not, and we'd rather say so upfront. We won't steer you toward a €4,300 build just to round out a client package. There are website platforms built exactly for that job, and they'll serve you better at a lower cost, even if they can't grow the way Umbraco can.
If you're confident you'll never need more than a simple site, yes, probably. The reason to build on Umbraco is that it can expand with you (new languages, integrations, back-office dashboards) without a rebuild. If that's genuinely not something you'll ever need, a cheaper platform is the more sensible choice.
It renews at €480/year, or you can take your site elsewhere if you'd prefer. We tell you that price upfront, not after year one.
For the scope described above, yes; it's a fixed price, agreed in writing before we start. Things outside that scope (see "what's not included") are quoted separately, so you're never guessing what's coming.
Typically three to four weeks from kick-off, once we have your content, logo and any brand guidelines. Slower content, slower launch: it's mostly in your hands.
Not entirely, and honestly, that's part of how we keep this price fair. We start from a strong, proven visual foundation and adapt it closely to your brand: your colours, fonts, logo and imagery, rather than charging for hundreds of hours of ground-up design work. If you already have a specific look in mind, your own design file or a finished design with its own styling, we're happy to build from that instead.
Absolutely, that's exactly what this package assumes. If you also need copywriting or a brand refresh, we can quote that separately.
That's normal, and it's by design: the €4,300 package is a solid starting point, and most clients add things like extra languages, integrations or an online shop later, quoted individually rather than baked into everyone's price upfront.
Yes! Support options start from €100/month for small fixes and scale to SLA-based contracts with monthly reports, unlimited P1/P2 incident responses and proactive maintenance, depending on the level of support you require. You can find more details in our Support Services Page.
