Cheap doesn't have to turn out expensive.
The classic dilemma: an agency costs too much, a DIY builder never gets finished. FWRD is the third route — AI does the building, you steer, and the price stays a fraction of an agency rate.
What does a website really cost?
| FWRD Grow | Traditional agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront costs | €0 | €1,500 – €5,000 |
| Monthly costs (incl. hosting) | €29 with annual billing | €75 – €250 maintenance + hosting |
| Cost per change | Included (credits) | Hourly rate or prepaid bundle |
| Live within a day | 4–12 week turnaround | |
| Gets better after launch | Improvement proposals based on data | Only on your request — and invoice |

Affordable — so what's the catch?
There isn't one. The model is different: no billable hours, no quotes, no project management. The AI does the building, you steer. That's why it costs a fraction of an agency rate.
Isn't a cheap website just worse?
A cheap website from a template factory is. Here you get the same technical foundation as our custom-built sites: fast load times, correct SEO structure and continuous improvement. The difference is in the process, not the quality.
Are there hidden costs?
No. Hosting, SSL and updates are included in the subscription. No setup fees, cancel monthly. The only optional extra is your own domain name (~€10-15 per year at your registrar).
Start with €0. Really.
