Affordable website creation in French-speaking Switzerland
A professional website from 790.-, delivered in 5 days. Affordable, yes. Rushed, never: here is exactly what you pay for, what you don’t, and how to compare.
Affordable doesn’t mean cut-price
When people search for a “cheap website”, they rarely want the lowest price at any cost. They want a serious site at a price that doesn’t scare them, with no nasty surprises afterwards. That is exactly our positioning: listed, clear prices within reach of a craftsperson or freelancer.
Our L’Esquisse plan at 790.- includes a custom design in your colours, a mobile-friendly site, a contact form, a WhatsApp button, SEO basics, a free Google Business profile and one round of revisions. It is delivered in 5 business days.
How we keep prices low without cutting corners
We don’t start from a blank page on every project: the structure and logic of our sites are already built and proven. What remains is adapting them to your business, your text and your colours. That reduces the time spent, and therefore the price, without touching quality.
We also deliberately take a low margin: no city-centre office, no sales team, no layers of project management to fund. You pay for the actual work, not the structure around it.
Affordable website: what do the alternatives cost?
Here are the typical price ranges in French-speaking Switzerland for a showcase website.
Indicative ranges for a showcase site of 5 to 8 pages, excluding e-commerce, taken from our guide How much does a website really cost in Geneva. Our plans cover 1 to 4 pages: always compare what is included, not just the price.
And after launch?
A website is never a one-off purchase: hosting, domain name and maintenance come back every year, and generally cost between 700 and 5’000 francs with most providers. With us, monthly maintenance is an option at 40.- a month, with no commitment: hosting, domain name, backups, reinforced security and two content changes a month.
The traps of bargain-basement websites
A low price isn’t a problem in itself. What costs you is what isn’t written next to the price. Before signing any quote, check:
- Whether hosting and the domain name are included, or billed separately every year
- How many rounds of revisions are truly included before it becomes paid work
- Who owns the site at the end, and what you take with you if you change provider
- What happens if you stop paying a subscription
- Whether the design is really tailored to your business, or just a template in your colours
We answer these questions in writing, before any signature: revisions included for each plan, usage rights transferred after full payment (terms of sale), maintenance with no commitment. To go further, read free site, 200-franc site: what nobody tells you before you sign.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about an affordable website
Expect from 790.- for a professional one-page showcase site (L’Esquisse), 1’790.- for four pages (Le Savoir-faire) and 2’190.- with a photo and video shoot (Le Chef-d’œuvre). Do-it-yourself platforms start lower but involve a monthly subscription, and agencies most often charge between 3’000 and 12’000 francs.
Yes. It is custom-built for your business, displays perfectly on mobile, and includes a contact form, a WhatsApp button and SEO basics. The difference with a pricier plan is the number of pages, the revisions included and the options (photos, video, advanced local SEO), not the base quality.
Creation is billed once. Hosting, domain name, backups and two content changes a month are part of the maintenance option at 40.- a month. You provide your text and photos, except with Le Chef-d’œuvre which includes a professional shoot and a professional review of your text. Any request outside the agreed scope is covered by an additional quote.
Creating your site is billed once. Monthly maintenance at 40.- is an option: no minimum term, cancellable at any time with effect from the end of the current month. It covers hosting, the domain name, backups, reinforced security and two content changes a month.
Don’t just compare the price: compare the number of pages, the number of revisions included, hosting, the domain name, maintenance and above all who owns the site at the end. A very low quote that overlooks one of these points often costs more after a year.
Yes. Our studio is in Carouge, and we support craftspeople and independents across Romandy, remotely or by appointment. See our pages on website creation in Geneva and website creation in Canton de Vaud.
