The Hidden Cost of a Cheap Website

A €300 website isn't cheap if it costs you a customer a week. A quick look at the real math behind "budget" builds.

The Hidden Cost of a Cheap Website

Every founder has been offered the €300 website. Here's why the real bill is much higher than the invoice.

You don't pay for the site — you pay for the leaks
