What does a website cost in Iceland?
The honest answer is that it depends on the company and what the site has to do. Here is what drives that, and my whole price list so you can work it out.

Answers before you buy a website.
What should the website do, what will it cost, and how do you assess whether it works? These guides help you decide on the next step.
02
Why is my website not showing up on Google?
Usually it is there. It only shows up when somebody searches your company name, and nobody who does not already know you does that.

What is GEO and why does it matter?
GEO is visibility inside the answer itself, not a position on a results page. The difference matters, because the machine regularly cites pages it never ranked highly.

What does Booking.com actually cost you?
Booking platforms bring guests and charge for it. The question is how much direct bookings could save your business after all costs.

Narrow or broad: what is my website supposed to do?
This is the question that decides the price, and it is almost never asked before people get started. It is also easy to answer, once it is asked the right way.

Shorter questions
These questions are too small for an article of their own, but they come up on almost every first call. The answers are here in full.
How long does it take to build a website?
A website usually takes three to six weeks, depending on scope and workload. Larger custom builds can take longer. We agree a delivery schedule before work starts.
Do I own anything if I stop working with you?
Yes. The website, content and domain are yours. If you choose another host, I hand over the website and we coordinate the move. My monthly service ends under the agreed notice period.
Can I change the text myself afterwards?
Content editing comes with Growth and higher monthly plans, or the Larger site package. Edit text, photos and prices within the website structure. Base covers hosting and technical maintenance.
Do I have to pay a monthly fee?
Yes, if the site is to be hosted and run by me, and that is what the monthly fee is. The only way around it is to take the site and host it yourself, which is possible, but then keeping it up and keeping it secure is your job.
Does the price go up after the first year?
No. The published prices are not introductory offers, and the monthly price you agree to never rises unless you choose to move up to a larger plan. Your quote sets out scope, monthly fees and terms before you decide.
Can you fix the site I already have instead of building a new one?
Sometimes, and I say so plainly when it applies. If the bones are sound and the problem is the look, the writing and the visibility, then what exists can be worked with. If the site is built on something that slows it down or closes it to search engines, rebuilding is cheaper than continuing to pay to patch it.
