When the way you work is the thing a template cannot describe, the answer is not another page. It is a capability, built into ParrotB rather than bolted onto your site, and you pay build cost once instead of the cost of building it from nothing.
EUR 15,000 - 40,000+
Discovery 5 to 8 days, then 30 to 60, across eight to sixteen weeks. From EUR 2,500, excluding VAT.
Six questions, then pick a time.
The thing that does not fit becomes a capability, and you pay for it once.
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.
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.
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 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.
Because a fixed quote for something nobody has scoped is a number somebody has to eat later, and it is usually you. Discovery produces the scope, the options and the quote, and it is the cheapest possible way to find out that the answer is no. Either of us can stop after it and you keep everything it produced.
You are buying software that does what your business does. That it becomes part of the platform is the reason it is affordable rather than a catch: you pay build cost once instead of the cost of building from nothing, and everything added later reaches you without being paid for again. Your brand, your words and your data stay exclusively yours.
Then it has done its job, and it has done it before the expensive part. Real users are put in front of it before anything is built, and the whole point of a gate is that a project can stop at one. That is not a failure mode, it is the reason the gates exist.
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.
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.
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.

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

Not this one? Brand, or Site. All three builds.
