Custom build · Site

A site built the way you sell.

Not the way a template assumed. Pages that follow your argument, an enquiry flow that asks what you would have asked on the phone, and a content schema that says which fields are yours. It ends with you changing every word of it yourself.

EUR 6,000 - 15,000

Roughly 20 elapsed days, across four to six weeks. From EUR 2,500, excluding VAT.

Describe the project

Six questions, then pick a time.

What you get.

Pages that follow your argument instead of a stock structure

An enquiry or booking flow that asks what you would have asked on the phone

Written in your voice, and your Google Business Profile set up properly

Measured at three widths and for accessibility, reported as results

You change every word of it yourself, without calling anybody.

How it runs.

Elapsed days, not days of work. Day 1, day 3, day 8. What is published is what lands and what closes each stage, because the price is what the work is worth rather than what it cost in hours.

  1. Day 0

    Agreement and brief

    What lands: your dates heldWhat closes it: Signature
  2. Day 1

    Kickoff, and how you actually sell

    What lands: the scope, confirmed in writing
  3. Day 2-3

    Structure and flows

    What lands: the sitemap, and the enquiry flowWhat closes it: Structure review, 45 minutes
  4. Day 4-5

    Directions

    What lands: two or three, side by sideWhat closes it: Direction review, 45 minutes
  5. Day 6-9

    The pages that carry the argument

    What lands: real pages, not mockups
  6. Day 10-12

    The rest, and the enquiry flow

    What closes it: Design review, 45 minutes
  7. Day 13-15

    Your words, in your vocabulary

    What lands: content and copyWhat closes it: Content and access closed
  8. Day 16-18

    Built on ParrotB

    What lands: measured at three widths, and for accessibility
  9. Day 19

    Pre-launch

    What lands: the report, with the numbers in itWhat closes it: Pre-launch call, final invoice
  10. Day 20

    Live, and handed over

    What lands: the content schema, and what is yours to change

What it costs, and how it is paid.

EUR 6,000 - 15,000
  • 40% to book the dates
  • 30% at the design review
  • 30% on go-live

Terms are 14 days and nothing is published before the final invoice clears. The deposit is not refundable, and the reason is plain: it buys a place in the calendar, and those weeks are turned down for other work.

VAT is outside every figure

Every figure excludes VAT. Invoicing is from Portugal: Portuguese customers are charged Portuguese VAT, an EU business with a valid VAT number is reverse charge, and an EU customer without a VAT number is charged Portuguese VAT. Outside the EU, normally none. Country and VAT number are asked before anything is quoted, so the total quoted is the total invoiced.

The subscription is separate

The ParrotB subscription is separate, at its published price, and it does not change because a designer was involved. The design is bought. The running is rented, and it is rented from the product.

The questions people actually ask.

The website module already gives me a site.

It does, it is good, and for most businesses it is the right answer. This is for a business whose way of selling a template cannot describe, or whose brand is the thing it competes on. If that is not you, the module costs a fraction of this and I will tell you so on the call.

Can I change it myself afterwards?

That is the deliverable. Not the pages: a locked content schema, which is the contract saying which fields are yours. Prices, services, opening hours and the first sentence on the page all change from the dashboard without calling anybody.

What about being found on Google?

Structure for local search is in the build, and so is setting up your Google Business Profile properly, which for a business that travels to its customers matters more than the site does. What is not included is an ongoing search engagement, and nobody here will promise you a ranking.

After go-live.

Not content updates, because you already change every word yourself. Not support, which is a separate arrangement. And never unlimited changes, because one person cannot honour that.

EUR 450once a year

The annual check

Your site measured again at three widths, an accessibility pass, a speed check, and a written note of what has drifted since launch. The small things are fixed inside the same half day.

EUR 1,200a year

Four half days a year

One of them is the annual check. The other three are yours to spend on whatever you want, booked in advance rather than held on call.

Who this is not for.

If what you need is a good site and nothing unusual, ParrotB's own website module does that for a monthly fee and you do not need me for it. This is for a business whose brand is what it competes on, or whose way of working a template cannot describe. If that is not you, the cheaper answer is the right one and I will say so on the call.

What is not in the price.

Fonts, stock photography, a shoot, your domain, and any paid service the build depends on. Identified while the work is scoped, quoted before anything is committed, and paid by you. Watch the typefaces: some are licensed per site or per pageview, and that bill arrives every year.

Languages.

Translations are produced by machine, which is what makes several languages affordable rather than something to charge for three times. Where a mistranslation would cost you something, a human review is arranged and quoted separately.

Tell me what you are trying to do.

Fifteen minutes. I will tell you which of the three you actually need, including when the answer is none of them.
