Comparison
SiteBienfait and a web studio, side by side
A web studio sells a project: a scope, a price, and changes quoted as they come. SiteBienfait sells a site you can change yourself, through a change set the owner approves. The two overlap on design and build, and differ on what happens the month after launch.

The comparison, claim by claim
| Criterion | SiteBienfait | The alternative |
|---|---|---|
| How the work is priced | A fixed quote from a written estimate. The monthly loop is a published plan. | Hourly, project-based and monthly models are all standard; a project fee is estimated from hours plus a margin. [1] |
| Project price on record | No hourly rate card; a written estimate per project. | A published industry range lists professionally designed business sites at $3,000 to $30,000+. [2] |
| Changes after launch | Requested in the workspace, previewed, gated and approved by the owner before publish. | Work outside the agreed scope is billable, and scope creep is the named risk of project pricing. [1] |
| Recurring arrangement | A growth plan with a defined loop; the repository can be exported. | A monthly agreement is a common model; a time-based agreement can state whether unused hours expire or roll over. [1] |
| Recurring cost on record | Published plans, not an hourly rate. | Maintenance is listed at $5 to $5,000 per month, depending on size and support needs. [2] |
When the alternative is the better choice
- The website is part of a wider brand project: identity, photography, a launch campaign. A studio keeps that work in one team and one conversation.
- The owner wants one named team to also run channels outside the website, such as paid campaigns or social accounts.
- The site needs a large editorial programme with people writing, shooting and publishing every week.
- Nobody on the owner's side wants to own a repository, review a diff or approve a deploy.
