01The AETHER model

We build, maintain and improve. Every month.

A good website doesn’t end at launch. Your business changes, customers ask new questions and Google updates its criteria. That’s why we work with care plans: we build the site, then look after it and keep improving it.

  1. 01

    Build

    A professional website made for your business: fast, easy to use on a phone and clear for customers.

  2. 02

    Maintain

    Technical checks, updates and small changes every month, so the site keeps working properly.

  3. 03

    Improve

    Visibility in Google, enquiry tracking and small optimisations that turn visitors into customers.

02Pricing

Choose how you’d like to work with us.

A professional website, shaped around your business and your budget.

In short: a business website costs 1,000, 1,500 or 1,900 RON as a one-time payment. An online store starts at 3,500 RON, and special projects get a custom quote. If you prefer a monthly plan, you pay a one-time setup fee of 800, 1,500 or 2,500 RON, then 300, 500 or 1,000 RON a month. Prices are final, with no VAT added.

One-time packages

You pay for the website once: 50% before we start and 50% once the final version of the website is ready. Monthly maintenance is optional.

  • You provide the texts and photos. We can help structure the copy and source licensed stock photography.

What continuous improvement looks like

  • During the monthly check we notice the contact form has stopped sending e-mails and fix it before you lose enquiries.
  • Customers often ask about prices on the phone, so we add a guide-price section to the services page.
  • Search Console shows your page appears for “apartment renovation Cluj” but gets few clicks, so we improve its title and description.
  • You finish a new project: we publish it in the gallery from your photos.

Questions about pricing and working together

How does the free demo work?

Use the form to tell us about your business and the package you’re interested in. We prepare a demo, a first visual version of the website, so you can see the direction before you decide. The demo is free and comes with no obligation.

What happens after I accept the demo?

We agree the package, content and timeline together. Price, payment and deadlines are confirmed in writing before we start. The delivery time runs from the moment we receive your texts and photos.

Can I pay in two instalments?

Yes. For the website build you pay 50% before we start and 50% once the final version of the website is ready. This applies to the one-time packages and to the setup fee of the monthly plans; the monthly plan itself is paid separately.

Are domain and hosting included?

No. They’re paid separately, directly to the providers, so they stay in your name. We help you choose and take care of the setup.

Is maintenance optional with the one-time packages?

Yes. Every package includes free fixes after launch, between 14 and 90 days depending on the package. After that, maintenance and changes are agreed separately, upfront.

What does the monthly plan include?

Every plan includes technical maintenance, monthly checks, small content changes and a monthly report. Growth adds local SEO, enquiry tracking, one SEO or content improvement every month and Google Business Profile. Complete adds Facebook, Instagram, Google Business and TikTok management on top of Growth, with up to 16 posts a month.

What happens if I cancel my plan?

The website built during setup stays yours. You receive the site files and access to the domain and hosting, according to the handover terms in the contract. The minimum term and notice period are agreed in the contract before we start.

Can I ask for changes?

Yes. The one-time packages include 2 revision rounds before launch (3 for E-commerce) and free fixes after launch. In a monthly plan, small changes are included every month: up to 2 (30 minutes) in Essential and up to 4 (45 minutes) in Growth and Complete. Extra pages or new features are quoted separately.

Do I own the website after delivery?

Yes, the website built for you belongs to you, and the domain and hosting are in your name. Files and access are handed over according to the terms in the contract.

Prices are final. AETHER Studio is not VAT-registered.

How we work together

Seven simple steps, no surprises. You always know where we are and what comes next.

  1. Inquiry

    You send a short message or fill in the detailed form. We reply with questions or a first estimate.

  2. Understanding the project

    We clarify what your business does, who the website is for and what it needs to achieve.

  3. Planning & design

    We agree the page structure and visual direction before a single line of code.

  4. Development

    We build the website — fast, responsive and tested on phone, tablet and desktop.

  5. Review & revisions

    You send your feedback and we make the changes. Two rounds are included in the presentation packages, three in E-commerce.

  6. Delivery & launch

    We publish the site on your domain and check together that everything works.

  7. Monthly maintenance and improvement

    With an Essential or Growth plan, we stay with you every month: updates, checks and improvements.

05Services

We build new websites. And fix the ones that don't work.

08FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between AETHER Essential and AETHER Growth?

Essential includes a one-page website and basic maintenance: technical checks, two small changes a month and a monthly summary. Growth includes a website of up to five pages, local keyword research, enquiry tracking, one SEO or content improvement every month, Google Business Profile optimisation and a quarterly consultation. Growth is the recommended plan for companies that want their website to bring in enquiries. AETHER Complete adds social media management (Facebook, Instagram, Google Business and TikTok) on top of Growth.

What does social media management in AETHER Complete include?

AETHER Complete includes everything in Growth, plus management of your Facebook, Instagram, Google Business and TikTok pages: a monthly content calendar approved by you, up to 16 posts a month in total across all platforms, post copy and template-based graphics, publishing TikTok clips from your material and monitoring comments on working days. Paid campaigns, on-site photo or video production and influencer collaborations are not included.

Does a plan include unlimited changes?

No. Essential includes up to two small changes a month, 30 minutes in total, and Growth up to four, 45 minutes in total. New features, extra pages or larger projects are quoted separately.

What does the free review include?

A short assessment made for your business: how your current website or online presence looks, what is missing and three to five priority opportunities. It does not include implementing them or a full audit.

What is the difference between a business website and an online store?

A business website explains what you do and generates enquiries: calls, emails, booking or quote requests. An online store manages products with prices and variants and has a cart and checkout. Presentation packages cost 1,000 to 1,900 RON; an online store starts at 3,500 RON.

What does the price of a website depend on?

The number of pages, the features (forms, bookings, galleries, a cart), the number of languages and how ready the content is. Standard packages have a fixed, published price; anything else gets a quote before we start.

How long does a website take?

About 10 days for Starter, 15 days for Professional and 20 days for Premium, counted from when we receive your texts and photos. An online store (the E-commerce package) takes about 30 days. Custom projects get a timeline in the quote.

How much does a website cost?

Starter costs 1,000 RON, Professional 1,500 RON, Premium 1,900 RON, and an online store (E-commerce) starts at 3,500 RON. Prices are fixed and final, with no VAT added because AETHER Studio is not VAT-registered. Care plans cost 800 RON + 300 RON/month (Essential), 1,500 RON + 500 RON/month (Growth) and 2,500 RON + 1,000 RON/month (Complete, with social media). Projects that don’t fit a package get a custom quote before we start.

Do you build online stores?

Yes. The E-commerce package includes a filterable catalogue, product pages, a cart and a step-by-step checkout, and takes about 30 days. Real payments, couriers or automatic invoicing are agreed in the quote, depending on the providers you use. You can see examples in the portfolio: Volta, CROI and Arbor.

What do I need to prepare?

Your logo (if you have one), texts about the business, photos and a few examples of websites you like. If you don't have everything, that's fine — we can help structure the copy and use licensed stock photography.

Can you redesign or fix the website I already have?

Yes. Redesigns, debugging and fixes are just as important as new builds — even if we didn't build the site. Send the link through the form and we'll tell you what can be done.

What is a revision round?

Once you've seen the website, you send us one list with all the changes you want and we implement them. The Starter, Professional and Premium packages include two rounds; E-commerce includes three.

Will the website work on phones?

Yes. Every site is built and tested for phone, tablet and desktop. For most businesses, the phone is the first screen customers see.

Are the portfolio projects for real clients?

No. They're independent concepts with fictional businesses, built to show what we can make. We never present a project as a client's without their agreement.
