Our startup program beats website builders

If you have just started a company, you likely need a website. You need it to acquire users, to pitch investors with your vision, or perhaps to publish job vacancies. At this stage, you need an online business card: something simple, functional, and not necessarily shiny.

The problem is that building a website requires human resources, and your resources are limited. You are a startup, and all your efforts should be going deep into the product. What are your options then?

A popular option, which promises quick results, is to use website builders such as Webflow or Wix. But the results with website builders are often not so quick, creating issues for your small team before showing benefits.

We offer a more effortless way to launch your website, and it beats website builders.

Website builders are supposed to be a quick and easy way to create a simple and functional website. They potentially solve your main problem as a startup: finding resources to build a website. But there are a few caveats.

To create a website even with a builder you still need someone who will spend time building it. And for your website not to look like a generic template and follow your brand style, you will also need a designer. Any cool animations or interactions will require hiring a web engineer, or delegating one of your team members to web development.

Finally! Web site builders will charge you for cloud hosting, sometimes more than you would pay for a custom website. For example a Webflow website with a few pages, analytics, and 3 translated locales will cost you $60/month. In comparison a custom website hosted on Vercel with Prismic CMS will cost about $15/month. It’s a $540 difference annually.

It takes time to achieve good results, if you don’t have that time — delegate the job to someone. A small and dedicated team of web engineer and designer can build an attractive website much faster than you think. The same team will also handle small but important things like Google Analytics or Ads integration, GDPR/CCPA banners, or CRM data submission.

With our startup program, getting a website built quickly from scratch is not as expensive as you may think. We will fully remove this workload from your team, letting your people stay dedicated to your product. No context switching, no delays on feature delivery.

Our startup program is designed to beat website builders on quality, support, and most importantly your effort. We’ll take care of everything, including design, engineering, cloud infrastructure, and long term support. Here is what’s included:

• Design exploration session
• 15% discount on hourly rate
• We cover all costs of website hosting and other infrastructure
• Up to 8 hours/month of maintenance and support after the project is done
• More support hours charged at the same discounted rate.

With minimal involvement you get a functional website which looks great, and clearly showcases your product. You also get a team that’s ready to help with any issue, or handle design, content or feature updates on the website.
