Not every company needs an ERP.

A site on the company’s own address, with content you manage yourself, written to be found rather than merely to exist.

Number of templates

The first driver is not how many pages but how many distinct layouts are designed. Fifty pages from one template cost less than five different ones.

Whether design is from scratch

Adapting a bought theme and designing an interface from nothing are far apart. Our own team does the design; where a theme is wanted instead, we say so plainly.

Multiple languages

A second language is not just translated text: URL structure, search metadata and content management are built for it from the start. Added later, it costs more.

Content management

Will you update the text yourself, or does it change once a year? Where no admin panel is needed, that cost never arises.

Who holds the content

If copy and images are ready on your side the schedule shortens. If they have to be written, that is a separate line and it shows in the price.

Integrations

Forms, email, booking, a CRM or a connection to an existing system — each link is counted separately.

A store running on your own infrastructure rather than rented from a platform, built together with payment, shipping, invoicing and stock.

Products and variants

Five hundred products cost little on their own; variants are the real driver. As size, colour, measure and bundle combinations multiply, both the data model and the interface get harder.

B2C or B2B

Selling to dealers is a different system from selling to consumers: accounts, price lists, statements and credit limits enter the picture. Wanting both widens the scope noticeably.

Payment and shipping integrations

Every payment gateway and every carrier is a separate integration, instalments and returns included. How many get connected moves the price directly.

e-Invoicing and accounting

Where an order should flow into invoicing and accounting on its own, an integration layer sits between them. Handled manually, that line never arises.

Marketplace channels

If stock and prices go to marketplaces, each channel is counted separately — and whether the link is one-way or two-way changes the price again.

Multi-language, multi-currency

Selling abroad brings tax rules, currency, customs documents and language structure into the architecture from the start.

Applications for iOS and Android, with store submission and the release management that follows as part of the job.

One platform or two

Android alone or iOS alone costs less than both. But starting with one and adding the second later costs more than planning for both from the outset.

Whether a backend exists

If there is already a system for the app to talk to, the job is the app. If not, the server side is built from nothing — often the larger half of the work.

Offline capability

Recording while disconnected and reconciling afterwards makes an app markedly harder. For apps used in the field it is not optional.

Device capabilities

Camera, location, notifications, barcode scanning, file access and payments — each is separate work and a separate item in store review.

Users and permissions

An app where everyone sees the same screen and one that needs role-based permissions are far apart.

Store processes

App Store and Google Play submission, account setup and version updates run throughout the job rather than at the end of it.
