What moves a project up or down the range?
We quote by the features a site needs rather than by page count. In practice, five things decide where a project lands:
- What the site has to do. Showing information is the cheapest. Payments, accounts, bookings, phone verification and Korean integrations add development and testing.
- How many languages, and who writes them. Our prices assume you provide the translations. A second language is a module, not a rebuild.
- How ready the content is. Content that is mostly ready keeps a project at the low end. Content that still needs planning adds discovery time.
- New build or renewal. Renewing an existing site often means moving posts, images, members or orders. Data migration is priced as a module.
- Design depth. Our standard design is one concept with two rounds of revisions. More directions or motion is the design upgrade module.
What is not included in the build price?
Every quote from us lists these separately, so they never appear as surprises:
- VAT at 10%.
- Hosting. Hosting and maintenance are a separate contract from the build, with their own terms.
- Domain fees.
- Usage fees passed through at cost: payment gateway fees, SMS and KakaoTalk message fees, AI API usage and app store accounts.
How is payment split?
Payment is made in instalments tied to checkpoints, with the split written into the contract: 70/30, 40/30/30 or 40/20/20/20 depending on the size of the project. Each instalment follows a checkpoint you can see, such as an interim build or final acceptance. For a company outside Korea, we bill in US dollars or by overseas transfer.
How do our prices compare with other options?
A quote from another studio is only comparable if it covers the same things. When you put two quotes side by side, check that each one states:
- the feature list, not just a page count
- how many design concepts and revision rounds are included
- whether there is an admin (CMS) you can edit yourself, and what it can edit
- how hosting, maintenance and third-party fees are handled
- the payment schedule and what each instalment pays for
- how the source code and other deliverables are handed over
Our guide to hiring a developer in Korea has a one-page brief you can send to several studios, so the quotes you get back can actually be compared.
Who builds it, and how do you start?
We are a two-person studio in Korea; our CEO and a director design and build each project themselves. Our English-speaking founder runs consultations, meetings and documents directly, and we can meet you in person in Korea. Bilingual work we can show includes the Korean–English website for EMECS and the Korean–English platform for UNESCO i-WSSM, which is in operation.
See what we build on the web development in Korea page, or the ERP development in Korea page if you are budgeting an internal system.
