Compare
Which way suits you?
There are three ways to a website: build it yourself with a site builder, hire an agency or a freelancer, or work with a studio you talk to. Each comparison below shows in a table what changes, what it means for you and when you should choose the other way, honestly.

What are the ways to get a website made?
There are three ways to a website: build it yourself with a site builder, hire an agency or a freelancer, or work with a studio you talk to. Each comparison below shows in a table what changes, what it means for you and when you should choose the other way, honestly.
Are these comparisons neutral?
This is Paftane’s site, and we don’t hide it. That is why every page also says when you should choose the other way, and we only use facts anyone can check; we don’t list other companies’ prices.
Where does Paftane stand?
On the third way: not a template like a site builder, not a months-long process like a classic agency. One conversation, a sheet you approve, then a site drawn by a real designer; a Starter site in 2 weeks, a typical site in 3–4 weeks.
I’m still not sure. What should I do?
Tell Paf about your business in a sentence; it draws you a sheet with the pages, the time and the price. You don’t have to send it to us afterwards.
