Built for Google
Top scores, out of the box
Every Nettify site ships with top scores on what Google itself measures - accessibility, best practices and SEO. That means faster pages, better rankings, and a site ready to be found from day one.
How Nettify works
The short answer first
The price of a website in Norway ranges from 0 NOK to over 100,000 NOK. The difference comes down to who builds it, what's included, and how much ongoing maintenance you pay for.
For most Norwegian SMBs, the realistic range is 0-10,000 NOK to set up, and 0-500 NOK/month to run. Anything above that is either an agency project or a special solution you probably don't need.
With Nettify the entire setup is free - Nettify-AI generates the website from a short description, and you only pay when you publish on your own domain. Pricing then starts at 99 NOK/month and includes hosting, SEO, a contact form and updates.
Price by type of provider
Agency (15,000-80,000 NOK setup, 1,500-8,000 NOK/month): Designers and developers build a custom website from scratch. You get custom design and full flexibility, but the process takes weeks or months. Maintenance is often billed by the hour. The right choice for large companies or complex requirements.
Freelancer (5,000-25,000 NOK setup, 0-500 NOK/month hosting): A single person builds the website, often in WordPress or a website builder. Cheaper than an agency, but quality varies a lot, and when the person becomes unavailable you're often stuck.
WordPress yourself (1,000-3,000 NOK/year): Hosting, theme, plugins, security and updates are your responsibility. The time cost is underestimated - many end up paying a developer to fix problems.
Website builder (Wix, Squarespace, Nettify): 0-400 NOK/month. Everything is included. You build it yourself or use AI to generate it. The lowest total cost and the fastest to get started. Nettify as a website builder is the most affordable, with Norwegian content from the start.
What's actually included in the price?
A common pitfall is comparing price without checking what's included. Many agency quotes look expensive but cover hosting, maintenance and updates for a full year. Other cheap solutions don't include a domain, an SSL certificate or a contact form.
Always check whether these 8 things are included: a domain (typically 100-200 NOK/year for .no), hosting (300-2,000 NOK/year), an SSL certificate (free with most serious providers), a contact form, mobile optimization, basic SEO setup, backup, and updates.
With Nettify all 8 are included in one monthly price. No add-on costs, no surprises. That makes it much easier to compare against agency and WordPress quotes.
What should you actually pay in 2026?
Recommendations for different situations:
Sole proprietor or small SMB with standard needs (contact, services, about): 0 NOK setup, 99-199 NOK/month with Nettify. Done in an hour.
Mid-sized company that wants something custom: 5,000-20,000 NOK setup (freelancer or smaller agency), 200-500 NOK/month to run.
Large company with complex needs (e-commerce, integrations, custom CMS): 30,000-150,000 NOK setup (agency), 2,000-10,000 NOK/month to run.
For 80% of Norwegian SMBs, a website builder is the right choice. You save 10,000-50,000 NOK in setup, and get a modern, fast website that's easy to update yourself. See what a business website actually includes.
How to choose
Choose the right website solution in 5 minutes
Define your needs
Write down: services, contact form, booking, number of pages, e-commerce? Most SMBs need 5-8 pages and a contact form. That's what Nettify covers.
Set a budget
Total annual cost is what matters, not the starting price. Count both setup and 12 months of running costs. For an SMB the realistic range is 1,200-6,000 NOK/year.
Compare what's included
Check the 8 points: domain, hosting, SSL, contact form, mobile, SEO, backup, updates. A quote without these isn't cheaper - just incomplete.
Test before you pay
With Nettify you build the website for free first, see the result, and only publish when you're happy. No risk, no 6-week agency process.

Built withNettifynordicsmarthost.noI struggled with Squarespace for ages — it felt clunky, and I never got my site quite the way I wanted it. Then I switched to Nettify, and what a difference! It's such an easy website builder, and the site turned out so much nicer than before. Warmly recommended 😊

Built withNettifybokelskeren.comNettify is a breath of fresh air in the web market. As a consultant I've been looking for a system I can pass on to my clients, and from now on I'll be recommending Nettify. The system is easy to navigate and the support is great. The fact that there's a Norwegian founder behind it is a plus in my book — it means deeper knowledge of the Norwegian market and support that's closer to home.
