Combien coûte réellement un site internet professionnel ?

Tout dépend de qui le fabrique. Une agence facture généralement entre 1 000 et 5 000 € ou plus pour un site vitrine, un freelance entre 500 et 2 000 € ou plus. À ces montants s'ajoutent presque toujours le nom de domaine, l'hébergement et la maintenance chaque année. Avec Flopix, le site vitrine complet coûte 19,99 € par mois ou 199,99 € par an, sans frais de création.

WordPress est gratuit, pourquoi payer un abonnement ?

Le logiciel WordPress est gratuit, mais un site WordPress ne l'est pas. Il faut acheter un nom de domaine, louer un hébergement, souvent payer un thème, puis assurer les mises à jour et la sécurité, soi-même ou en payant quelqu'un. L'abonnement Flopix regroupe tout cela dans un seul prix, et les mises à jour sont gérées pour vous.

Y a-t-il des frais de création ou d'installation chez Flopix ?

Non. Le coût de départ est de 0 €. Vous remplissez le formulaire, vous voyez votre site terminé dans l'aperçu, et vous ne payez qu'au moment de le mettre en ligne. Si le résultat ne vous convient pas, vous n'avez rien dépensé.

Le prix peut-il augmenter avec des options ?

Non. L'hébergement, l'adresse personnalisée, le QR code, les mises à jour et les modifications illimitées sont inclus dans les 19,99 € par mois. Il n'existe pas de formule supérieure à débloquer ni d'application payante à ajouter pour obtenir un site vitrine complet.

Que se passe-t-il si j'arrête l'abonnement ?

L'abonnement est sans engagement et se résilie à tout moment depuis votre espace client. Vous ne payez pas de frais de sortie. La formule annuelle à 199,99 € offre deux mois par rapport à la formule mensuelle, mais rien ne vous oblige à la choisir.

A website, too expensive?

A website, too expensive? Not anymore

A four figure agency quote, a freelancer asking for a deposit, a "free" WordPress that ends up costing something every year... Budget is the first barrier that keeps small businesses from existing online. With Flopix, the complete showcase site costs €19.99 per month, all included, and you pay nothing before going live.

The real price of a website

When you ask for a quote for a showcase site, the numbers are surprising. A web agency generally charges between €1,000 and €5,000, sometimes much more, to design a few pages. A freelancer is more in the €500 to €2,000 range depending on experience and region. These amounts reflect real work, but they are out of reach for many craftspeople, shop owners and self employed people who are just starting out.

The other option is to do it yourself with WordPress. The software is free, that is true. But the site itself is not: you have to buy a domain name, rent hosting, often pay for a theme or a plugin, then spend hours on settings. And once the site is online, updates, security and backups never stop. The "free" turns into a disguised subscription, paid in money or in time.

🏢

Web agency

From €1,000 to €5,000 and up for the build, then an annual maintenance contract. Every later change is often billed separately.

💼

Freelancer

From €500 to €2,000 and up. Cheaper than an agency, but availability varies, and the question of who looks after the site in two years stays open.

🔌

WordPress "free"

Domain, hosting, theme, plugins, then updates and security for life. The advertised price is zero, the real cost never is.

🧮

Online builders

Wix or Squarespace advertise around €12 to €30 per month depending on the plan, to which the domain, ad removal and apps are frequently added.

What it costs over three years

The starting price tells you nothing. It is the cost of ownership that matters.

A website is not a one time expense: it is a service that has to stay online, up to date and secure for years. Thinking in terms of three years completely changes the picture. An agency site at €2,000, plus annual maintenance, plus billed tweaks, quickly passes €3,000. A homemade WordPress adds up the domain, hosting and theme every year, not counting your hours.

With Flopix, the math fits on one line: €199.99 per year on the annual plan, which is less than €600 over three years, hosting, custom address, QR code, updates and unlimited changes included. And if your business stops or changes, you cancel at no cost: there is no commitment.

You only pay when you go live

The upfront cost is €0. You fill in the form, you look at your finished site in the preview, in desktop and phone versions, then you decide. Payment, through Stripe, happens only when you publish. No deposit, no quote, no surprise on the bill.

Is it included, or billed every year on top? At Flopix, the custom address is part of the subscription.

🛠️

Changes

Is changing an opening time or a photo free, or does it need a quote? At Flopix, changes are unlimited from your client area.

🔒

Maintenance

Who updates the site and protects it? At Flopix, updates are handled for you, with no separate contract.

📆

Commitment

Twelve mandatory months, cancellation fees? At Flopix, there is no commitment, and you can cancel at any time.

Who it is for, and who it is not for

Flopix is built for a simple, complete showcase site: introduction, photos, opening hours, contact details, a call to action button, a link to your Google reviews and social media. That is exactly what most shops, craftspeople, independent professionals and associations need, and that is why the price can stay this low.

If your project calls for an elaborate online store, a member area or a fully custom design, an agency, a freelancer or a solution like Wix or WordPress are still relevant choices, with the matching budget. Paying more makes sense when the need justifies it. For a showcase site, it simply is not necessary.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a professional website really cost?

It all depends on who builds it. An agency generally charges between €1,000 and €5,000 or more for a showcase site, a freelancer between €500 and €2,000 or more. On top of these amounts you almost always add the domain name, hosting and maintenance every year. With Flopix, the complete showcase site costs €19.99 per month or €199.99 per year, with no build fee.

WordPress is free, why pay a subscription?

The WordPress software is free, but a WordPress site is not. You have to buy a domain name, rent hosting, often pay for a theme, then handle updates and security, yourself or by paying someone. The Flopix subscription brings all of this together in a single price, and updates are handled for you.

Are there any build or setup fees at Flopix?

No. The upfront cost is €0. You fill in the form, you see your finished site in the preview, and you only pay when you put it online. If the result does not suit you, you have spent nothing.

Can the price go up with options?

No. Hosting, the custom address, the QR code, updates and unlimited changes are included in the €19.99 per month. There is no higher plan to unlock and no paid app to add to get a complete showcase site.

What happens if I stop the subscription?

The subscription has no commitment and can be cancelled at any time from your client area. You pay no exit fees. The annual plan at €199.99 gives two months compared with the monthly plan, but nothing forces you to choose it.
