Compare three buying models
Generic website builder
Lower platform cost.
Higher internal burden for:

OneStudio public front office
Useful when the installer wants:
Review current OneStudio pricing.
- owned website;
- enquiries;

OneStudio + technical project systems
Often the cleanest architecture.
OneStudio owns:

Questions businesses ask
How much should a storm-shelter website cost?
There is no useful universal number without scope. A brochure site, a structured quote site and a fully integrated technical project portal are different products.
Should engineering be included in website cost?
Treat engineering and installation project control as separate technical services unless a vendor explicitly includes them.
Does OneStudio replace permit or certification 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 price fixed before work begins based on scope.
