One provider quotes €50 a month. Another asks €2,500 upfront. A third offers a yearly plan under €1,000. The reason is simple — they're not offering the same thing.
If you run an electrical business and you're looking for a website, the prices seem to point in every direction. One provider quotes €50 a month. Another asks €2,500 upfront. A third offers a yearly plan under €1,000.
The reason is simple — you're not comparing like-for-like services.
Some providers hand you the tools and expect you to build everything yourself. Others deliver a custom site but leave the hosting, updates and changes to you afterwards. And there's a newer category: done-for-you services, where the website, the updates and the day-to-day management come together in one fixed price per year.
In this guide we put the three models side by side, so you can see exactly what you're paying for — and what you're not.
To be clear up front: Growth Rocket falls into that third category. It's a complete online business system for Dutch trade businesses, bringing your website, your enquiries and your bookings together in one place — without the back-and-forth with freelancers and without the hours that building it yourself takes. If you recognise yourself in that direction, you'll see where it fits along the way. If not, the comparison below stands on its own.
On the Dutch market you'll come across three models:
Each model suits a different kind of business. The right choice depends on your time, your technical comfort, and what you actually want the website to do for your business.

With a website builder you pick a template, drag blocks into place and put a site online yourself.
The opposite model also exists — having everything built for you in one go.
A freelance web designer or small agency builds a custom site for you. This is the traditional route.
The upfront model looks cost-effective over the long term — until you want to change something. Most electricians never touch their site after launch, because every change costs money or a phone call.
That leaves the model that takes the work off your hands.
This model is built for business owners who don't want to deal with websites — but do want a website that does its job.
Instead of tools or a one-off build, everything is handled for you, for one fixed price per year. The website is built, managed and continuously updated — without you having to deal with hosting, plugins or freelancers. Fully managed, in the most literal sense.
This is where Growth Rocket sits. Not just a website. A complete online business system for service businesses — where your online presence, your incoming enquiries and your bookings are connected and managed in one place.
Still, not every requirement fits neatly into a standard package — that's what the bespoke route is for. Growth Rocket also offers custom configurations for businesses that need more: extra functionality, integrations or a tailored setup. The standard packages cover most situations; more complex needs can be discussed without moving to a completely different model.
The “cheapest” option is rarely the cheapest once you count your own hours — and the updates that usually get postponed or skipped.
The difference isn't just the amount — it's how predictable that amount stays.
A DIY builder keeps the price low but costs you time. A freelancer build starts high and adds small amounts afterwards. A done-for-you system keeps the cost fixed, so you know exactly what you pay. No surprises.
Still have questions? The most common ones are below.
The cheapest website isn't the one with the lowest monthly price — it's the one that quietly does its job without demanding your time, your attention or endless upkeep.
For most electricians, the real cost isn't money. It's the hours you don't have, the updates that never happen and the enquiries you might miss because the site isn't right.
That's why more and more small electrical firms choose a fixed price and a done-for-you system — something that goes live quickly, stays updated and just does its job in the background while you're on the job. Pick the model that fits how you actually run your business — not just what looks cheaper on paper.
Growth Rocket gives you a professional website with a built-in enquiry and booking system — set up, managed, and running for one fixed yearly price. No technical hassle, live within 7 days.
Everything that helps you win more enquiries online — from costs and choices to the build and the individual pages.
