Pricing

What a website costs, what is included and how you pay.

What does a website cost?

A presentation website costs from 1,999 €, a website with a content management system (a CMS where you change the texts and photos yourself) from 3,000 € and an online store from 3,500 €+. Every price includes SEO essentials for Google and AI search engines.

You get the exact amount in writing in a quote before any work starts. You will find all prices in the price list, more in the article What a website costs.

What is included in the price of a website?

Custom design for mobile and desktop, hand written code, fast loading, a contact form, SEO essentials, traffic measurement without cookies, HTTPS (a secure connection) and launch on your domain.

A website with CMS also includes the content management system (CMS), a blog and training. Extra features, for example bookings, more languages or a connection to accounting, are priced separately and in advance. You will find the package comparison on the page Websites.

What do the SEO essentials included in the price of every website cover?

SEO (search engine optimization) is a set of changes that make you easy to find in Google and in AI assistants. Every website we build includes these essentials in the price:

  • Technical SEO: speed, mobile version, HTTPS, clean URLs
  • Titles, descriptions and heading structure for every subpage
  • Sitemap, robots.txt and a connection to Google Search Console
  • schema.org structured data (company, services, FAQ)
  • SEO for AI: AI crawler access, clear answers, llms.txt
  • Local SEO: connected to your Google business profile

If you want to grow in search results over the long term, the next step is SEO Complete.

Why do prices say “from” and how do I find out the exact price?

The price depends on the scope: the number of subpages, extra features and who supplies the texts and photos. The amount shown is the lowest price of that package, not bait.

To find out the exact price, write to us about what you need. Within 1 business day you get an estimate and after a short conversation a written quote. You can also use the enquiry builder.

Are the prices with or without VAT?

We are not VAT registered, so all prices on the website and in the quote are final and no VAT is added to them. A website from 1,999 € therefore costs exactly that.

How does payment work?

You usually pay a deposit before the work starts and the rest when the website goes live. You always get an invoice.

The exact payment terms are stated in the quote, and on larger projects we can agree on payment in stages. You will find the details in the terms and conditions.

Do I pay anything on top of the price of the website? The domain and hosting, for example?

The domain (your website address, for example yourcompany.com) and the hosting (the server the website runs on) are paid directly to their provider, usually once a year. We help you choose them and set them up so they are registered in your name.

You pay us no mandatory monthly fee for a finished website. Optional services, such as Website Guardian or SEO Complete, are something you order only if you want them.

Websites and online stores

Schedules, website ownership, texts, languages and online stores.

How long does it take to finish a website?

A website is usually ready from 2 weeks, a website with CMS from 3 weeks and an online store from 4 weeks.

The date depends most on how quickly the texts, photos and your feedback on the design reach us. You get the exact schedule together with the quote.

Who will own the website?

You. Once it is paid, the website is yours, including the content, the domain and the access details. You are not tied to us in any way. If you later choose another company, we hand over everything you need.

Can I change the website myself after launch?

With a website with CMS, yes. You change texts, photos, news and articles yourself in a Slovak content management system, and we train you at launch.

On a presentation website without a CMS we make the changes for you. Smaller edits are usually done quickly, larger ones we price in advance. We explain how to decide in the article Website with or without CMS.

Who supplies the texts and photos?

If you have your own texts and photos, you save time and money. If not, we will write the texts so they are clear for customers and good for SEO at the same time. We also help with photos: we advise what to shoot, or we use licensed photos.

We quote copywriting and graphics by scope, always in advance.

Can a website be made in several languages?

Yes. Each language version has its own addresses, titles and SEO settings so Google shows it correctly to people in that country.

The price depends on the number of languages and on whether you supply the translations or we arrange them.

What payments and shipping can an online store handle?

An online store can take card payments through a payment gateway, bank transfer and cash on delivery. We connect it to the carriers you use, including pickup points and parcel boxes.

Orders, confirmation e-mails and invoices go out automatically. We will pick the payment gateway and the carriers together, based on your customers. More on the page Online stores and in the article Custom online store or a platform.

SEO and AI

How Google and ChatGPT find you and what can be promised.

What is SEO for AI?

SEO for AI (also called GEO, Generative Engine Optimization) prepares your website so that AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews (AI summaries above Google results) understand it and mention it in their answers.

We do it by letting AI bots in, by giving clear answers on the site and with structured data, that is a description of the company and its services in a language machines understand. We add an llms.txt file too, but it is the least important item on that list. More on our page SEO for AI and in the article SEO for AI: how to get into the answers of ChatGPT.

What is the difference between classic SEO and SEO for AI?

Classic SEO makes sure you rank high in Google results and in Maps. SEO for AI makes sure an AI assistant recommends you right in its answer, often without the person clicking through a list of links.

Both rest on the same foundation: a fast site, clear content and trustworthy information. That is why we do them together, and SEO essentials for Google and for AI are included in the price of every website.

Will you guarantee me first place in Google?

No, and nobody fair will promise that. Google decides the order of results, it changes and it also depends on the competition.

What we can promise is honest work by Google's rules, a clear plan and a regular report in plain language where you see what improved. If someone guarantees you first place, be careful.

What is llms.txt and do I need it?

llms.txt is a simple text file in the root of your site that tells AI tools in short who you are, what you offer and where the important pages are. It is something like a business card for artificial intelligence.

You will not need one, though: as a visibility tool it does not work according to today's measurements. Ahrefs found across 137 210 domains that 97 percent of such files receive not a single request in a month, and Google's own guide says you need no new AI files to appear in AI features. It is included in the price of our websites because it costs us nothing, not as an argument about visibility.

You can see an example at meaovis.com/llms.txt and to see whether your site has one, run the free audit, where we list it for information only and do not count it towards the score. The full data and instructions for adding it are in our article on llms.txt.

What does SEO Complete include and what does it cost?

SEO Complete is long-term care for your site's visibility: technical SEO, texts and keywords (the terms people search for), local SEO in Google Maps, links from other sites, SEO for AI and a monthly report.

The price is custom, based on the size of your site and the competition in your field. You get the exact amount up front and in writing. You can find the details on the page SEO Complete.

How long before I see SEO results?

Technical fixes, for example speed or faulty titles, show up first. Better positions and more visitors come gradually, over months.

It depends on the competition in your field and on the state of your site at the start. You see what changed in the regular report.

Website audit

Free audit, Complete Audit and a guide to fixing things.

What does the free audit check?

The free audit automatically checks your homepage on both mobile and desktop. Results in 1 minute, no sign-up.

  • Checked on mobile and desktop
  • Loading speed and page size
  • SEO essentials: titles, descriptions, headings, indexing
  • SEO for AI: AI crawler access, structured data, llms.txt
  • Security: HTTPS and security headers
  • A clear explanation of every problem

Just enter your address on the page Free audit. We explain how to read the results in this article.

What is the difference between the free audit and the Complete Audit?

The free audit is an automatic check of a single page, your homepage. It explains every problem it finds in plain language and adds a short procedure for fixing it.

Complete Audit for 350 € goes through every subpage of the site on mobile and desktop (for large online stores, all page types and a sample of products). For every problem you get detailed fix instructions for your administrator (where to find the problem and how to fix it, step by step), sorted by priority: what to fix now and what can wait. It also includes a comparison with three competitors, a PDF report and a 30-minute online consultation. More about the Complete Audit.

How do I order the Complete Audit and when will I get it?

You fill in the order on the page Complete Audit. Within 1 business day we will send you a confirmation and an invoice for 350 €. You will get the finished audit within 5 business days of payment.

If you order repairs, a new website or SEO Complete within 2 weeks of receiving the audit, we deduct the price of the Complete Audit from that order (up to the value of the order).

Is the free audit really free? What happens to my data?

Yes, it is free and with no strings attached. You do not need to register, the website address is enough. E-mail is optional, only if you want the result sent to you.

We store the website address you enter and the result of the audit. We do not store your IP address, only an irreversible fingerprint (hash) of it to prevent misuse. Details are in the privacy policy.

Website Guardian

Automatic website checks, alerts and a subscription.

What does Website Guardian do?

Website Guardian is a fully automatic service. Every hour it checks that your website works and, when it does not, it sends you an e-mail usually within the hour. Once a day it checks the SSL certificate (HTTPS security) and warns you before it expires. Every 7 days it runs a full audit on mobile and desktop and sends you a clear report. When speed or SEO gets worse, you are the first to know.

The Guardian finds and explains problems, but it does not fix them and does not replace website maintenance. The fix is done by your administrator or by us. More about Website Guardian.

How does the Website Guardian trial work?

The first 14 days are free. To start you only need an e-mail and a website address, no payment card. The trial is available once per website.

After the trial you decide for yourself whether to continue. Nothing is charged automatically. If you want to continue, we send you an invoice.

How much does Website Guardian cost and how do I pay?

Website Guardian costs 29 € per month or 290 € per year. With yearly payment you save 58 €. You pay in advance by invoice, with no lock-in.

Can I cancel Website Guardian at any time?

Yes, at any time. Every e-mail from the Guardian contains a cancellation link, or you can simply write to us at biz@meaovis.com. No notice periods and no cancellation fees.

If you cancel the Guardian during a paid period, it watches your website until the end of that period and then does not renew. We do not refund paid subscriptions, the service runs for you until the period ends.

Apps

Web and mobile apps, integrations and MeaUnda.

What is the difference between a PWA and a native app?

A PWA (progressive web app) runs in the browser, can be added to the phone's home screen as an icon and works on iPhone, Android and desktop. It is faster to develop and does not have to go through approval in an app store.

A native app is downloaded from the App Store and makes better use of the phone, for example its sensors or sound. We will advise which one is worth more for you based on what the app should do. More on the page Apps.

How much does a custom app cost?

The price of an app is custom, because each one solves a different problem. First we write down together what the app should do and what it should not, and based on that you get an estimate of the price and the timeline.

It often pays off to start with a smaller version with the most important features and add more based on how people use it.

What is MeaUnda?

MeaUnda is our own app for iPhone and iPad. It uses sound to push water and dust out of the speaker, measures noise and has other practical tools. It works without an account and collects no data.

We developed it from the idea all the way to submitting it to the App Store, together with its own website. You will find the whole story in the case study.

Can you connect an app or a website to our system?

Yes. We can connect an app or a website to your accounting, warehouse, CRM (a system for keeping customer records), booking system or another program you already use, usually through an API (an interface for exchanging data between programs).

That way you do not have to retype data by hand. We assess the scope of the connection and price it up front.

Working together

How we work together and what happens after launch.

How does working together go?

We start with a short free conversation to find out what you need. Then you get a proposal with an exact price and delivery date. We start nothing until you approve it.

Next comes the design, which we adjust until you are happy with it, then development and launch. Throughout the work you know where the project stands and you have one person you can call.

Is the first consultation free?

Yes, the first consultation is free and with no obligation. We answer enquiries within 1 business day.

You can write to us through the contact form, by e-mail at biz@meaovis.com or call us at +421 950 638 001.

Do you also work for companies outside Bratislava?

Yes. Our registered office is in Košice, we actively work in Bratislava and we work remotely for clients from all over Slovakia. We hold meetings online over a video call, so you do not have to travel anywhere.

If it matters for the project, we can also arrange a meeting in person.

What if something does not work after launch or I need a change?

If a bug we caused shows up after launch, we fix it. After launch we are happy to help with further changes and with growing the website. We quote larger changes in advance.

If you want to be sure you notice a problem in time, turn on Website Guardian. Every hour it checks whether your website is working and alerts you by e-mail if there is an outage.

Who will work on my project?

The project is led by founder Eduard Hirjak, a senior full-stack developer (a programmer of websites and apps) with more than 20 years of experience and 100+ finished projects. A small team for research, testing and communication supports him.

You do not talk to a salesperson, but directly to the people who build your website. Meet our team.

Do you use artificial intelligence (AI) in your work?

As a tool yes, as a replacement for a developer no. We design and program websites, portals and apps ourselves, custom built. We call AI in to help where it saves time: it goes through a complex database, for example, and shows where it can be sped up. The proposed solution, the code and the responsibility for the result stay with us.

Besides our team in Slovakia we work with contractors we have known for years, often since our school days: a hardware specialist in Czechia, an LLM specialist in South America, a Linux administrator in Denmark, a software analyst in Japan and a marketer in Saudi Arabia. That is why we can put our name to every project. More about how we work.

Have a question that is missing here?

Write or call us. The first consultation is free and with no obligation, and you get an answer within 1 business day.
