How much does a website cost?

The price depends on scope, but a simple brochure site is in a different league from an online shop or a web app with logins. Once the work is defined we offer a fixed price, so you know the cost before we start.

How long does it take to make a website?

A simple website usually takes a few weeks, larger projects longer. We give a timeline as soon as the scope is clear and keep you posted the whole way.

No. We don't use WordPress; we build the site on Next.js with clean code. That means no plugins that break, fewer security holes and a faster site.

Can I update the site myself?

Yes. Where it makes sense the site comes with a simple admin where you change text, images and news. ÍSOR's staff, for example, write their own news and keep the staff directory up to date without us.

Do you help with copy and images?

Yes. We write or fix the copy and get the imagery into shape, with SEO built in. You don't need finished content to start.

Will the website show up in search engines?

Yes. Every page is server-rendered with correct structured data, a sitemap and descriptions, so Google finds it and ranks it properly. SEO is part of the build, not an add-on.

Who it's for

A website that fits the business

Small and medium businesses

You want a website that carries your brand and wins business, not a template a thousand others use. We build it around what your business actually needs.

Sole traders and tradespeople

The electrician, the salon, the bookkeeper. A clear site with your services, a price guide and a button that makes people get in touch. No complexity.

Restaurants and services

Menu, opening hours, location and table bookings on a page that loads instantly on a phone. Guests find what they came for without waiting.

Clubs and associations

News, events and a member list on a site that is easy to maintain. You update the content yourself when needed, without paying for every change.

The process

From idea to a website that is live

We understand the business

First we map out what the site should do for you and who uses it. You know what you are getting before the first line is written.

Design and build together

The design is created and coded in one process. What you approve goes live unchanged, down to every motion.

Content, copy and testing

We write or migrate the content, set up and test on phones and computers. Nothing is left hanging.

Live and beyond

The site goes live on with SSL and automatic backups. We keep monitoring and updating it after it ships.

What's included

The foundation that comes with every website we build, at no extra charge.

Fast hosting on Vercel

The site runs on a network across 70+ cities with automatic SSL and backups. No web server to maintain, no manual work on certificates.

Speed you can measure

Over 90 in Google PageSpeed is our default, not a goal. Pages are , images load on demand and fonts are trimmed.

SEO built in

Correct heading hierarchy, meta descriptions, structured data, sitemap and come with every page. Google understands the content quickly and the right pages rank higher.

Content in Icelandic and English

A bilingual setup with the same quality in both languages, correct and . Foreign visitors get the same experience as local ones.

Accessibility to WCAG 2 AA

Strong colour contrast, full keyboard control and screen-reader compatibility come with every page. The site works for everyone and meets the new accessibility rules at the same time.

Fixed price where possible

When the work is well defined we offer a fixed price, not an hourly rate. You know the cost up front and we carry the risk on the estimate.
