The model
What a subscription means in practice
Instead of buying the website as a project with a one-off price, you pay a fixed amount every month. It covers both making the site and running it afterwards. You avoid the setup cost, and you avoid a bill every time something needs updating.
With us, the monthly price covers design, copy, domain, hosting, running, security and help getting started. Prices start at NOK 599 for up to three pages, excl. VAT.
The benefits
What you get for it
No big investment
You don’t tie up NOK 25,000 before you know whether it works.
The site doesn’t decay
Because we keep running it, it gets updated instead of sitting untouched for five years.
One supplier
No need to keep track of one for design, one for hosting and one for the domain.
To be honest
The downsides you should know about
Can cost more over a long time
If you keep the same site untouched for ten years, a one-off price would probably have cost less overall.
You don’t own everything
The domain is yours and can be taken with you, but the design and setup don’t come with you if you cancel. It’s in the terms of purchase.
You depend on the supplier
So check who’s behind it, and how long they’ve been in business.

Conclusion
When does it pay off?
A subscription pays off when you want low risk and predictable costs, and when you don’t fancy owning an IT project.
Buying outright pays off when you have the budget, know exactly what you want, and have someone in-house who can look after the site afterwards. The maths for both is in what does a website cost.
What is the minimum term?
The minimum term is three months. After that the agreement continues until it’s cancelled. The service is invoiced in advance for twelve months at a time, unless otherwise agreed.
Do I own the website?
You own the domain, and you can take it with you if you cancel. The design, setup and copy we’ve made don’t come with it, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Is there a setup fee?
No. Setup normally costs NOK 2,900, but it’s free right now. You only pay the monthly price, and the draft you get before you decide is free.
What happens if I cancel?
The site is taken down when the agreement ends, and you can take the domain with you. We recommend keeping a copy of any images and text you want to keep before then.
Can I switch package along the way?
Yes. You can move up or down between packages, and the new price applies from the next period.
