Questions about websites

What a website costs, how long it takes and what you get. I answer here the way I would on the phone.

How much does a website cost in Finland?

A website is €600 one-off and upkeep is €19 a month. That covers the home page, contact details and up to five more pages.

Add-ons have their own prices. Online booking, for example, is €590 + €10/month and a web shop €790 + €15/month. The shop shows the exact price as you pick.

Prices are final, since I'm not VAT-registered. Launch offer: the first five customers get the website for €200 until 31 December 2026, in return for letting me show it as a reference and leaving a Google review.

How long does it take to make a website?

The preview of your site is ready two working days after I've read your request. If you order, the site is live in about a week.

That includes two rounds of changes, each done within two working days.

Can I see the site before I pay?

Yes. I make a preview first with your business name and logo, and it's free. If you don't like it, you pay nothing. You only get an invoice once you order.

What does upkeep include?

The monthly fee covers the server, the secure connection, backups, updates and renewing your domain.

I also make small changes, like new opening hours or prices, up to an hour a month. Unused time doesn't carry over.

Can I edit the site myself?

For now, changes go through me. You tell me what to change and I do it within two working days. Small changes are part of upkeep.

Do I own my website?

Yes. Once the site is handed over, it's yours and you can do anything you like with it.

The software behind add-ons like online booking stays my service under upkeep. Your customers' data is always yours.

Do you make websites for businesses all over Finland?

Yes. I'm based in Tampere but do everything remotely, so it doesn't matter where you are. Sites can be in Finnish, English or both.

What do I need to order?

In the shop you answer a few questions, like what you do and what your business is called. A logo and your own photos help, but you can send them later.

If you don't have texts ready, I'll write them from what you tell me.

Will my site show up on Google?

I make sites fast and easy for search engines to understand. Titles, descriptions, a sitemap and structured data come with every site.

I won't promise the top spot, because nobody can honestly promise that.

Do you make web shops too?

Yes. A web shop is an add-on at €790 + €15/month. You sell products and gift cards, and customers pay by card or mobile payment.

Why not build it myself with Wix or WordPress?

You can, if you have time to learn and tinker. From me you get a site designed for your business, and I look after the upkeep, so you don't have to think about updates or servers.

Who makes the sites?

I do, Emilia Sipola. I design and code every site myself. Read more about me or see how I made this site.
