Mosta

That depends on who reads your website. Buyers and engineers, at home and abroad, look for capabilities, certifications and a quick way to request a quote, so we build B2B sites with clear process pages, downloadable datasheets and RFQ forms that accept drawings or Gerber files. For contract electronics manufacturers and makers of medical products, custom software often follows: a customer portal showing order and batch status, a document area for certificates of conformity, or an internal tool that replaces spreadsheets in quality control. Companies in visual effects and production need portfolio sites that play showreels without long loading times. If you are hiring technicians or engineers, a careers section with concrete role descriptions belongs in the plan from the start.

Websites start at €3,000; custom software and web apps start at €15,000. Where your project lands above that depends on concrete factors: the number of product families and languages, whether forms need file uploads, how many user roles a portal has, and whether data must flow to or from an ERP or accounting system. An online shop for a retailer in Mosta or a maker at the Ta' Qali Artisan Village is priced by its scope: product range, payment methods and shipping rules. After a first conversation, you receive a written scope and a fixed price, invoiced in euros. Larger projects can be split into stages, each with its own fixed price, which makes internal approval easier when a parent company abroad has to sign off.

For a focused company website, plan on roughly four to eight weeks. A clearly scoped tool, such as an RFQ portal or a document area for customers, usually needs eight to twelve weeks, and larger systems are delivered in stages over several months. In manufacturing, the bottleneck is rarely the design but the technical content: approved product data, current certificates, sign-off from engineering before drawings or specifications go online, and access to the ERP system for integrations. That is why we agree a content and access plan in the first week. If a new site has to be ready for a trade fair or an event at the Malta Fairs & Conventions Centre in Ta' Qali, tell us the date at the start and we plan backwards from it.

We plan for life after launch from the outset. Under an optional maintenance agreement, we take care of security and framework updates, backups and uptime monitoring, plus small changes within an agreed monthly allowance; response times for critical issues are set out in writing. Hosting is in data centres within the EU. With software, maintenance also means adapting to change: a new product line, an extra test step in quality control or a new field in the ERP export. We quote such extensions in advance as fixed-price work. Because Malta and Germany share a time zone, you can reach us during your normal working hours. You receive the source code and access to all accounts, so your own IT team or another provider can take over at any time.
