Pricing
What does it cost?
Here it is.
Most agencies do not put prices on their website. I do. You should know the ballpark before the first call.
All prices are guide prices in Swiss francs. What your project costs exactly depends on what you want: scope, languages, video, AI. We sort that out in a free intro call. Then you get a fixed price, and that is the final price.
These are not extras, they are standard. I list them because others like to sell them as add-ons.
- Custom design, no template, drawn for your brand
- Hand-written code on Next.js, no plugins, no licences
- Load time under one second, measured in Google's test
- Every device: phone, tablet, desktop
- Contact form with spam protection, delivered to your inbox
- Imprint and privacy policy for your country, Swiss DSG and GDPR compliant
- Technical SEO basics: titles, meta, sitemap, clean structure
- Hosting set up in your name, SSL included
- Two rounds of revisions
- Full handover: domain, access and code belong to you
- Introduction after launch, as a video or in person: how to request changes, what takes minutes, and how to adjust simple texts yourself
Website
From a compact start to a multi-page website with an AI advisor. All prices are 'from', because scope drives price.
One fully designed page with the key sections: offer, about you, contact. The fast, clean start.
One page, all core sections, plus animations, a video slot and scroll staging. Like this site.
Home page plus subpages with navigation. For companies with several services or locations.
Your content and rankings stay, design and tech are rebuilt. Migration and redirects included.
Real content pages, for example services in detail, team or service areas. Imprint and privacy do not count.
Complete version of all pages including switcher, translation and international SEO (hreflang).
Answers customer questions around the clock, runs a guided check and brings you enquiries. No subscription, runs in the browser.
Multi-step enquiry flow, routing, automatic confirmation. For businesses where every enquiry counts.
Keyword structure, structured data, Google Search Console, local signals. Goes beyond the technical basics.
Imprint and privacy policy additionally for Germany or Switzerland if you operate in both markets.
Video and film
All from one hand: script, visuals, voice, music, edit. Music and voice are licensed, nothing expires.
60 to 90 seconds in 4K. Concept, motion design, photoreal AI scenes, professional voice-over, original music, export package for website, YouTube and social.
30 to 60 seconds on one product, service or topic.
Aerial and special scenes in 4K, AI-generated. No drone flight, no weather risk, no permit.
Full-screen video for the header or a section, optimised for fast loading.
Vertical 9:16 or square 1:1 with music, cut from existing material.
Subtitle files for YouTube, social media and the website.
AI and automation
AI where it pays off: in operations, not as decoration. Prices for companies with real processes.
Half a day at your company, no prior knowledge needed: what AI can do today, what it cannot, and where it saves you time. On request also as a course over several sessions.
Half-day workshop, IT readiness review, privacy check, concept with clear next steps.
A first custom system including integration with your tools and testing.
Depending on topic and industry. Regulated sectors such as pharma or finance at the upper end.
After launch
Optional, never automatic. The website keeps running without me, because nothing in it needs monthly updates.
I keep an eye on hosting, domain, load time and forms. Cancel any time, no minimum term.
New texts, images, sections or subpages by effort. Small changes take minutes.
Three months after launch you get a short report on load time, visibility and the contact flow.
Stages
You do not need everything at once.
Most projects run in stages. Website first, then the film, then the rest. Each stage has its own fixed price, and after each one you decide whether to continue.
- Compact website
- Contact form, legal texts, SEO basics
- Live in 1.5 to 2 weeks, once content is approved
Expandable later. Nothing gets thrown away.
- Multi-page website
- AI advisor
- SEO package
- Second language
Worked example from the guide prices above: 7,900 + 1,500 + 900 + 900.
- Everything from stage 2
- Brand film in 4K
- Bundle bonus: 3 social clips and a website loop worth 1,670 included
Website and film commissioned together: the bonus comes as real deliverables, not a percentage discount.
Real project
This is what it looked like for InnovaMesstechnik.
So you can place the numbers: the complete package for a measurement technology company, bilingual website with AI advisor, brand film, drone video and website videos. For comparison: agency guide values for the same scope ranged from 18,000 to 36,000 francs for the website alone, plus 9,000 to 20,000 for the film.
- Website DE/EN with interactive map, 3 content pages
- AI advisor 'Karlchen' with 12-point check and lead system
- Brand film 82 seconds, 4K, voice-over, music, subtitles DE/EN
- Drone video 58 seconds, 4K, all service regions
- Website videos and social media cut
- Handover documentation and hosting advice
Comparison
Site builder, WordPress agency or FuturAAI?
Honest is honest: there are websites for 290 francs. The question is what you get out of it over five years. Here is the comparison as it typically looks in Switzerland.
Competitor figures come from public pricing pages of Swiss providers, as of 2026. They are typical values, not offers from specific companies.
- Fixed price: the written quote states the final price. Extra costs only if you change the scope, and only after your written approval.
- Payment: 50 percent on order, 50 percent on acceptance. Payment term 14 days.
- No VAT: FuturAAI is not subject to VAT. The stated price is the price.
- Two revision rounds are included. Further rounds by effort at 160 francs per hour.
- No percentage discounts, but real value instead: bundle bonus for website plus film, 10 percent credit for referrals, reference client exchange.
- Germany: prices in francs with a euro guide value in the quote. Invoice without Swiss VAT.
Questions
What clients want to know before the call.
The AI advisor at the bottom right knows these answers too. Ask it if your question is missing.
Why are these 'from' prices and not fixed prices?
Because a website is not an off-the-shelf product. One company needs three sections, the next eight, one wants video, another two languages. The 'from' prices show you the range. In the intro call we clarify your scope, then you get a fixed price. That one is binding and will not be exceeded.
What is a one-pager, and do imprint and privacy count as pages?
A one-pager is a single scrollable page: offer, about, references and contact are sections, not separate pages. Imprint and privacy policy are part of every website and are never counted as subpages, not by me either. Additional subpages are real content pages, for example services in detail or team.
What is included in every website price?
Custom design, hand-written code without plugins, every device, a contact form with spam protection, imprint and privacy policy for your country, technical SEO basics, hosting set up in your name, two revision rounds, the full handover of domain, access and code, and an introduction after launch, as a video or in person. You do not need a developer for changes: you tell me what should be different, I implement it, usually within minutes. Simple texts you can also adjust yourself.
What is not in the price?
Photos of you or your business if you want real shots, a logo if none exists yet, and the ongoing hosting costs after launch. Those are with Vercel, around 20 francs per month for companies, in your name. Texts we write together: you deliver facts and raw texts, I make them website-ready. There is no surcharge per page for that.
Why does a website at FuturAAI cost more than 290 francs?
For 290 francs you get a template with your logo, on WordPress or in a site builder. That is fine if you do not mind looking like a thousand others. With me every page is designed and coded, loads in under a second and needs no plugin updates afterwards. Do the maths over five years: builder subscriptions, maintenance packages and plugin licences quickly add up to 5,000 to 8,000 francs without giving you a better site.
What is the difference between Next.js and WordPress, and what does it mean for me?
WordPress is a kit system extended with plugins. Every plugin is a potential security hole and needs updates, which is why agencies sell maintenance packages. Next.js is the technology large tech companies build their sites with: the code is written by hand and shipped as finished files. For you that means faster, safer, no licences, no mandatory maintenance, and every change is live in minutes.
What does the website cost per year after launch?
The domain, around 15 to 25 francs per year, and hosting with Vercel, around 20 francs per month for companies. Both run in your name and you pay them directly, nothing goes through me. Maintenance is not mandatory because there are no plugins. If you want me to keep an eye on hosting, load time and forms, that is from 90 francs per month and can be cancelled any time.
Can I start small and expand later?
Yes, that is actually the normal case. Stage one is the compact website from 2,400 francs. Later you add subpages, the AI advisor, a second language or the brand film, each with its own fixed price. Nothing from the first stage gets thrown away, because everything is built on the same technology.
How does payment work?
50 percent on order, 50 percent on acceptance. Work starts once the first half has arrived. Invoices are payable within 14 days. FuturAAI is not subject to VAT, so the stated price is the price.
Are there discounts?
No percentage discounts. The guide prices are already well below agency level. Instead there is real value: if you commission website and brand film together, you get three social clips and a website video loop worth 1,670 francs on top. If you refer FuturAAI, you receive 10 percent of the project value as a credit on your next project. And reference clients get the SEO package for a testimonial and a case study.
Do I own the website afterwards?
Yes, completely. Domain, hosting access and the entire code are handed over to you at delivery and documented. You can switch to another developer at any time. I do not build in dependencies, because I would rather be booked for good work than by force.
How long until launch?
Guide values once content is approved: compact website 1.5 to 2 weeks, premium one-pager 2 to 3 weeks, multi-page website with AI advisor 3 to 4 weeks, redesign 3 to 4 weeks, brand film 1 to 2 weeks. For comparison: agencies plan 6 to 10 weeks for a relaunch. You see the first preview within days on a preview address. The time to launch depends mostly on how quickly content and feedback come from you. The exact date is fixed in the quote.
I am in Germany. What applies to me?
The same prices, in Swiss francs, with a euro guide value in the quote. The invoice comes without Swiss VAT. Imprint and privacy policy are drafted under German law, GDPR included. I already work for clients based in Germany.
What does a brand film cost, and why is it cheaper than at a film production company?
A brand film in 4K with voice-over, music and motion design costs from 4,200 francs. Production companies charge 5,000 to 15,000 for comparable films because shoot day, crew, equipment and studio have to be paid. I work with motion design and photoreal AI scenes, without a shoot day and without weather risk. Music and voice are licensed, there are no follow-up payments.
What does the AI advisor cost to run?
Nothing. The advisor is built once for 1,500 francs on your offer and then runs entirely in your visitors' browsers. No subscription, no cost per conversation, no data flowing to third parties. The advisor at the bottom right here works exactly like that.
Do you also offer AI training or courses?
Yes, but deliberately simple: an AI basics workshop for your team from 1,800 francs, half a day at your company, no prior knowledge needed. On request also as a course over several sessions or as AI consulting by the hour. What I do not offer: ongoing management of channels, social media or YouTube. That is not something I want to do half-heartedly on the side.
How is the price determined in the call?
We go through what you need together: how many pages, which languages, whether video or AI are added, whether you have an existing site. I also ask what an order is worth to you, so we know from when the website pays for itself. From that comes a written quote with a fixed price, usually within two working days. The call is free and does not commit you to anything.
Your range is clear. Now the fixed price.
One call, 30 minutes, free. Afterwards you know what your project costs and whether it pays off for you.
Or ask the AI advisor at the bottom right. It knows every answer on this page.
