Budgeting for a High-Converting Website: Our €49,99/Month Starter Plan Explained
I've been building websites for startups and small businesses for years, and I've seen the same question come up over and over: "How much should I actually spend on a website that converts?"
Most people think they need to drop €10,000+ to get something professional. Or they go the other way and spend €10/month on a website builder, then wonder why nobody converts.
The truth? You can get a high-converting website for €49,99/month. And I'm going to show you exactly what that gets you, why it works, and how it compares to other options.
What Actually Makes a Website Convert?
Before we talk about cost, let's talk about what actually matters. I've analyzed hundreds of websites, and the ones that convert share these elements:
Clear value proposition - Visitors know what you do in 3 seconds Fast load times - Under 1 second, or people bounce Mobile-first design - Most traffic is mobile now Strong calls-to-action - Not buried, not vague, just clear Trust signals - Testimonials, guarantees, security badges SEO foundation - You can't convert traffic you don't get
Our €49,99/month Starter Plan includes all of this. Not as an add-on. Not as an upgrade. It's built in from day one.
The Real Cost Breakdown
Let me be transparent about what €49,99/month actually gets you:
Custom Design (Not Templates)
You're not getting a generic template with your logo slapped on. You're getting:
- Brand-aligned design - We study your brand and create something that actually represents you
- Professional layout - Clean, modern, conversion-focused (not just "pretty")
- Custom color scheme - Matched to your brand guidelines
- Typography that works - Professional fonts that are actually readable
- Visual hierarchy - We guide eyes to where you want clicks
I've seen too many "affordable" websites that look like they were built in 2010. That's not us.
Development That Actually Works
- Responsive development - Tested on real devices, not just browser dev tools
- Fast performance - We optimize for speed because slow sites don't convert
- SEO foundation - Proper meta tags, structured data, sitemaps (the basics that most skip)
- Contact forms - That actually work and don't spam your inbox
- Analytics integration - So you can see what's working
What's Actually Included
For €49,99/month (or €479,99/year if you pay annually), you get:
- Complete custom design and development
- Up to 5 pages (homepage, about, services, contact, plus one more)
- Mobile-responsive layout (tested on actual devices)
- Basic SEO optimization (meta tags, structured data, sitemap)
- Contact form integration
- Google Analytics setup
- 30-day performance guarantee
- Launch support and hosting included
The hosting is included. The support is included. The updates are included. No hidden fees.
Why Monthly Pricing Actually Makes Sense
I know what you're thinking: "Why monthly? Why not just pay once?"
Here's the thing: websites aren't a one-time purchase. They need:
- Hosting (servers cost money)
- Security updates (hackers don't take breaks)
- Performance monitoring (sites slow down over time)
- Content updates (your business changes)
- Technical support (things break)
With a one-time payment, you're either paying for all of this upfront (expensive) or you're getting a site that slowly degrades over time.
With monthly pricing, you're paying for an ongoing service. Your site stays fast, secure, and updated. And if something breaks, we fix it. That's included.
The Real Cost Comparison
Let me show you what other options actually cost:
DIY Website Builder: €10-30/month
Year 1: €120-360 What you get: Generic template, limited customization, slow performance Hidden costs: Premium features, better hosting, support (if available) Reality: You'll outgrow it in 6 months and need to rebuild
I've seen so many businesses start here, then come to us 6 months later because the builder "just doesn't do what they need." The €10/month becomes €3,000 to rebuild.
Freelancer: €1,500-3,000 one-time
Year 1: €1,500-3,000 (plus hosting, maintenance, updates) What you get: Variable quality, depends entirely on the freelancer Hidden costs: Hosting (€100-500/year), maintenance (€500-1,500/year), updates (€200-800/year) Reality: Year 1 total is often €2,500-5,000, then you're on your own
The problem with freelancers isn't the price—it's the ongoing support. What happens when something breaks? What happens when you need an update? You're back to paying hourly rates.
TEDECA Starter: €49,99/month (€479,99/year)
Year 1: €479,99 (if paid annually) or €599,88 (if paid monthly) What you get: Custom design, professional development, hosting, support, updates Hidden costs: None. That's it. Reality: Everything included, ongoing support, your site stays fast and secure
The math is simple: €479,99/year for everything, or €2,500+ for a freelancer plus ongoing costs.
Real ROI Example
Let me give you a real example from one of our clients:
Investment: €479,99/year
Results (conservative estimates):
- 10 qualified leads/month × €50 value = €500/month
- Annual value: €6,000
- ROI: 1,150% in first year
Even if you get 5 leads/month at €30 each, that's €1,800/year in value. The website pays for itself 3.7x over.
And here's the thing: a good website doesn't just generate leads. It builds trust. It establishes credibility. It works 24/7 while you sleep. That value is harder to quantify, but it's real.
Who This Plan Works For
This isn't for everyone. Here's who it works best for:
✅ Early-stage startups - You need professional presence without burning cash ✅ Service businesses - You need credibility and lead generation ✅ Local businesses - Competing with bigger companies online ✅ Product launches - Professional landing presence for your launch ✅ Portfolio sites - Showcase your work professionally
❌ Complex e-commerce - You need more features (we have higher tiers) ❌ Enterprise platforms - You need custom integrations (different project) ❌ Massive content sites - You need more pages (we can add them)
The Starter Plan is perfect for businesses that need professional presence and lead generation, not complex functionality.
What's Not Included (And Why That's Good)
I'm going to be honest about what you don't get:
- E-commerce functionality - That's in our Business plan (€79,99/month)
- Advanced integrations - Can be added, but costs extra
- Extensive content creation - We provide structure, you provide content
- Complex custom features - We focus on what converts, not fancy features
This focus is intentional. We keep costs down by focusing on what actually matters: design, performance, and conversion optimization. Not bells and whistles that look cool but don't drive results.
The Upgrade Path
As your business grows, you can upgrade:
- Business Plan: €79,99/month - Adds e-commerce, advanced features, more pages
- Businessman Plan: €149,99/month - Unlimited features, custom integrations, dedicated support
But here's the thing: most businesses don't need to upgrade. The Starter Plan handles 80% of use cases perfectly. Only upgrade when you actually need the extra features.
Making the Decision
When I talk to potential clients, I ask them:
- What's your business stage? - Are you ready to invest in growth?
- What's your competition doing? - Do you need professional presence to compete?
- What are your goals? - Leads? Sales? Credibility?
- What's your timeline? - When do you need to launch?
- What's your budget? - Can you afford €49,99/month?
If you answered "yes" to most of these, the Starter Plan is probably right for you.
The Bottom Line
€49,99/month gets you a professional, high-converting website with hosting, support, and updates included. No hidden fees. No surprises. Just a website that works.
I've seen too many businesses waste money on "cheap" options that cost more in the long run, or "premium" options that include features they'll never use.
The Starter Plan is the sweet spot: professional quality at an affordable price, with everything you need and nothing you don't.
