Web design in Malta, with the price on the label

Two to three weeks from our first coffee, for most websites.

Roughly: we meet and talk (about an hour), you get a design to look at within the first week, then a working site you can click through. When you’re happy, it goes live.

The part that decides the pace is content — your text, your photos, your menu. If those are ready when we start, two weeks is comfortable. If they’re not, we’ll help, and it takes a little longer. Nobody gets rushed.

Here, a website costs €500, €750 or €1,000 — one payment, agreed before anything starts.

Elsewhere in Malta the honest answer is “it depends”, because most studios quote per project. A traditional agency here typically lands between €3,000 and €8,000. Freelancers range from €500 to €2,500, usually without a clear scope. Nobody publishes numbers, which is exactly why the question keeps getting asked.

We publish ours. Starter is €500 for up to 3 pages, Business is €750 for up to 6 pages, and Custom is €1,000 for around 10 pages or something with moving parts. If your project genuinely doesn’t fit inside Custom, you get a fixed quote before we start — not an hourly meter.

No catch, but here’s the honest arithmetic.

Your monthly fee covers your domain name, hosting, the SSL certificate, daily backups, security updates and uptime monitoring. The sites we build are static, which means hosting them costs almost nothing — that’s the whole reason €5 is possible at all.

What the fee does not cover is new work: extra pages, new features, a redesign. Those are quoted upfront as a fixed price, so you always know the number before you say yes.

The €5 tier (Care Light) is deliberately limited to Starter one-pagers with occasional quick fixes. Most businesses are better on Care at €15, which includes 30 minutes of changes a month and a 48-hour response.

You cancel, and you keep your domain. That’s it.

There’s no contract term and no exit fee. Give us a month’s notice, we transfer the domain to whatever registrar you like, and we hand over your content. If you want the site files themselves to host elsewhere, you get those too.

A care plan you can leave any month has to stay worth paying for every month. That’s the point.

Different overheads, not different craft.

An agency quote carries an office in Sliema, account managers, project managers, a sales team and a designer who has to bill through all of it. You’re paying for the structure as much as the website.

Here there is no office and no account manager. You talk to the person who builds the site. And the components — the layouts, the forms, the speed work, the SEO groundwork — are reused across projects, so each new site starts from a solid system instead of a blank page.

What you don’t get for €750 is a twelve-person team, a brand strategy workshop, or a six-week discovery phase. If you need those, an agency is the right call and we’ll say so.
