Questions businesses ask
How much should an industrial coatings website cost?
There is no useful universal number without scope. A brochure site, a project-RFQ site and an integrated coating operations portal are different products.
Should coating inspection software be included in website cost?
Treat it as a separate technical operations category unless a vendor explicitly includes both.
Does OneStudio replace coating QA software?
No. OneStudio should remain the public website, enquiry and ordinary CRM layer.
What does OneStudio’s turnkey website service cost?
The current [[turnkey website service|/website]] starts from €249 per project, with the final project price fixed before work begins based on scope.
