Paftane or a classic agency?
Both build you a custom site; the difference is the process. With a classic agency the work runs through meetings and presentations, often for 2–3 months, and the price comes in a quote. With Paftane it starts with one conversation and a sheet you approve: a Starter site takes 2 weeks, a typical site 3–4 weeks, and the prices are on the site.

Isn’t Paftane an agency?
We are a web studio: we design and build sites. We don’t run ads or social media, and we don’t do print or packaging; if you need one of these, we tell you in the first conversation.
Doesn’t fast mean lower quality?
We save time on meetings and waiting, not on design. AI is the tool that makes us fast; a real designer draws your site, and you get two rounds of changes at every stage.
Can I move a site an agency built to you?
Yes. We move your existing site onto our setup and put speed, SEO and security in place as we move it. The domain and the accounts end up in your name.
Move your site to us →When does the written quote come?
In 2 working days. The quote lists what is included, line by line; payment comes in three parts: to start, at design sign-off, at launch.
