Questions and answers about websites, prices and timelines.

What people ask before the first call: how much it costs, how long it takes, what's included and what stays with you after launch.

Working with the studio

How does a project start?

With a short brief: Ari on the site asks three questions, or you can write to [email protected]. The team comes back with scope, timeline and price — work starts only after you agree.

How do you report progress?

Every week — a demo and a short update: what's done, what's next and which decisions we need from you. The project is visible in your client account.

Which languages do you work in?

English, Russian and Armenian — both for communication and for the websites we build. The team is in Yerevan; we work remotely with clients from other countries.

Pricing and payment

Why are prices shown as “from”?

It's the cost of a typical scope. Your project may be simpler or more complex — we'll name the exact price after the brief and fix it in the contract before work starts.

More
Can the price grow along the way?

Not unless the scope changes. Price and deliverables are fixed in writing; a new task mid-project is agreed separately, never a surprise on the invoice.

More
How does payment work?

By stages, on the schedule we agree in the estimate. We work under a contract and invoice each stage.

More
What's included in a website price?

Design, a build for phone and desktop, basic SEO setup, analytics and launch on hosting. Copy, photos and translations are a separate line if you need them.

More
Why not just use Tilda or Wix — isn't it cheaper?

For a one-off campaign page a builder is often a sensible choice, and we'll tell you so. Custom development pays off when you need design without template limits, fast loading, three languages, payments and CRM — and a site you fully own, with no monthly builder subscription.

More
Who owns the result?

You do. After payment the code, accounts and design rights are handed over — the site isn't tied to the studio.

More
Do you work with clients outside Armenia?

Yes. We're based in Yerevan and work remotely with clients from different countries — in English, Russian and Armenian.

More

Landing page

How much does a landing page cost?

From $790 for a page with custom design, forms and analytics. The price grows with the number of sections, languages and integrations — we'll name the exact figure after the brief and fix it before we start.

More
How long does a landing page take?

From 7 working days if copy and photos are ready. If we write the copy, add 2–3 days.

More
Landing page or small business site — which one?

A landing page serves one goal and your ads. A small business site is a few pages about the company that attract search traffic on their own. If you're not planning ads yet, the business site usually pays off better.

More

Corporate website

How much does a corporate website cost?

A business site starts at $1,190: up to 5 pages in three languages. A corporate website starts at $1,990: service catalogue, news, careers and an admin panel. We name the exact price after the brief and fix it in the contract before we start.

More
How long does it take?

A business site takes from 2 weeks, a corporate website from 4 weeks. It depends on the number of pages and whether copy and photos are ready. We demo every week, so you see the site well before launch.

More
What's the difference between a business site and a corporate website?

A business site is up to five pages: services, about, contacts. It rarely changes. A corporate website gives each service its own page, adds news and careers sections and an admin panel where your team updates content. If you have two or three services and no news to post, start with a business site — it can grow later without a rebuild.

More

Online store

How much does an online store cost?

From $4,900: catalogue, cart, Idram, ArCa or card payments, delivery and customer accounts. Extra integrations — 1C, warehouse, CRM — are priced separately, from $290. We name the exact figure after the brief and fix it before we start.

More
How long does it take to launch a store?

From 6 weeks for development. Bank or payment provider approval is separate: its timing depends on them, not us, so it's best to apply in the first week of the project.

More
Which payment methods can you connect?

ArCa, Visa and Mastercard cards through a bank vPOS — AmeriaBank, for example — plus Idram and Telcell. Apple Pay and Google Pay if your bank supports them. You sign the agreement with the bank and the money goes to your account; we help with the paperwork and handle the technical setup.

More

Website redesign

How much does a website redesign cost?

From $890 for a new design and build that keeps your URLs and rankings. If you first need to find out what's wrong, an audit starts at $250. If your own team handles the build, UI/UX design alone starts at $490.

More
How long does a redesign take?

From 3 weeks. It depends on the number of pages and unique templates: a 10-page site and a 200-product site need very different amounts of migration.

More
Do you guarantee rankings won't drop?

No one can guarantee rankings — the search engine decides. We remove what usually causes drops after a redesign: lost URLs, empty meta tags, broken links. Small fluctuations in the first weeks after the move are normal.

More

Payment integration

How much does payment integration cost?

From $290. The total depends on how many payment methods you need and how your site is built. If payments are part of a new store, they're included in its price: stores start at $4,900. The per-transaction fee goes directly to the bank or payment provider.

More
How long does it take?

Our part takes from 5 working days. Review and approval by the bank or payment provider are separate, and we don't promise their timing: it depends on the bank and how complete your documents are. So it's best to apply on day one.

More
Who signs the agreement with the bank?

You do, as a company or sole trader. We tell you which documents and site pages are needed and answer the bank's technical questions. The keys and access to the merchant dashboard stay with you.

More

Website maintenance

How much does website maintenance cost?

From $99 a month: updates, backups, monitoring, small edits within the agreed scope and a report. The scope depends on the size of the site and how often you need edits — we fix it in the contract. More about the plans on the Studio Care page.

More
How fast do you respond if the site goes down?

We see the outage on our monitoring and start working on it without waiting for your email. The response time for requests is written into the contract, so it doesn't depend on anyone's mood.

More
Do you maintain sites built by someone else?

Yes, after an audit: from $250, from 5 days. It shows the state of the code and hosting and what needs fixing before we take the site on. Sites we built ourselves are connected right after launch.

More

Logo & brand identity

How much do a logo and brand identity cost?

A logo starts from $390: three concepts, refinement of the chosen one, print and web files. A brand identity with a brand book starts from $1,490. The total depends on the number of items to design; we fix the amount in writing before we start.

More
How long does it take?

A logo takes from 7 days, a brand identity with a brand book from 3 weeks. What affects the timeline most is how quickly you choose a concept and send feedback.

More
What's the difference between a logo and a brand identity?

A logo is the mark and the wordmark. A brand identity adds colours, typefaces, collateral and rules for combining them. If you're testing an idea, a logo is enough. If packaging, signage and a website are coming, you need the identity — otherwise every contractor will draw it their own way.

More

UX/UI design

How much does website UX/UI design cost?

From $490 for the structure, prototype and phone and desktop layouts. The price depends on the number of unique screens and flows. If you only need a review of your current interface, a UX audit starts from $290.

More
How long does the design take?

From 10 working days for a site with a few standard pages. Apps and customer portals with many screens are estimated after the brief — the timeline is fixed before we start.

More
What's the difference between UX and UI?

UX is the logic: which screens you need, what's on them and how a person gets to the lead form. UI is how it looks: grid, colours, type, buttons. We do both layers — a beautiful screen with awkward logic still loses customers.

More

Telegram bot

How much does a Telegram bot cost?

From $590 for a bot or Mini App with lead capture, bookings or a catalogue. Payment and CRM integration start from $290. We'll name the exact figure after the brief and fix it before we start.

More
How long does a bot take?

From 10 working days for a bot with a lead or booking flow. A Mini App with a catalogue, cart and payments takes longer — we'll give you the timeline after the brief.

More
How is a Mini App different from a regular bot?

A regular bot is messages and buttons. A Mini App is a web interface inside Telegram: a catalogue with photos, a cart, an account. For KERI.AM we built two Mini Apps: one for customers ordering food and one for couriers, with their route and shift.

More

AI assistant

How much does an AI website assistant cost?

From $990: knowledge base, setup, website widget and manager handover. You pay the model provider separately, for actual usage — by message volume (tokens). If you need AI inside email, documents or your CRM, that's AI integration, from $1,990.

More
How long does it take to launch?

From 2 weeks. The knowledge base takes the longest: the tidier your terms and price list are, the faster the launch.

More
What if the assistant gives a wrong answer?

It answers only from approved topics. If there's no matching topic, it says it doesn't know and calls a manager. Most errors come from outdated information in the base, so you can edit the base in the admin panel without a developer.

More

SEO

How much does SEO cost?

From $350 a month. The figure depends on the size of the site, the number of languages and how competitive your niche is — scope and price are fixed in writing before we start. Getting ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity to name your company is a separate service, from $590 a month.

More
When will I see results?

First movement in Google usually shows up in 2–4 months. Nobody can say more precisely upfront: it depends on the age of the site, the competition and how many technical issues need fixing. We show you what changed every month.

More
Do you guarantee top-10 rankings?

No. Google decides rankings, and nobody can honestly guarantee them. We're accountable for the work: what was done, when, and what changed in traffic and leads — it's all in the report.

More

Google Ads

How much does Google Ads management cost?

From $390 a month for setup and management. The ad budget is paid separately — straight to Google and Yandex from your card. If you need a page for the ads, a landing page starts at $790.

More
How soon will the ads go live?

Usually 1–2 weeks after we start: a week for keywords and setup, then Google and Yandex review the ads. Campaigns need another 2–4 weeks to gather data — by then you can see what a lead costs.

More
What ad budget do I need?

It depends on your niche and search volume. Once the keywords are collected we'll show a forecast: how many clicks are available and what they'll cost. You can start small and scale what works.

More

SMM & paid social

How much does SMM cost?

From $450 a month: content plan, posting, design and paid ads management. The ad budget is paid separately, straight to Meta. If you also need Google Ads, management starts at $390 a month.

More
When will I see results?

The first posts and ads go live 1–2 weeks after we start. Within the first month you can see which creatives bring enquiries and what they cost. Organic growth without ads is slower — months, not weeks.

More
Who does the photos and video?

We build posts and stories from your material and our own design templates. Shoots — photo, video, reels on location — aren't in the monthly price: we quote them as a separate line by agreement.

More

Website audit

How much does a website audit cost?

From $250 for a technical and SEO audit with a report. If you need a deep look at where users get lost and don't leave a request, that's a UX audit, from $290. The price depends on the size of the site and is fixed before we start.

More
How long does an audit take?

From 5 working days for a typical site. A large store or a multilingual site takes longer — we'll give you the timeline after a first look.

More
How is this better than free checking tools?

Tools like PageSpeed produce hundreds of warnings with no context. We check by hand, drop what doesn't matter and explain what actually hurts search and leads — and what it costs to fix.
