It's possible to register one of may domain extensions (TLDs) for your websites. This includes more common extensions such as .com, but also local TLDs such as .cat, or novel TLDs such as .xyz!
The main requirement is that a domain shouldn't be registered by someone else. This can be checked via a Whois service.
Finances
These are the three main expenses to a website:
- Design and development (once)
- Hosting (monthly)
- Domain registration (yearly)
Design and development
The cost of a custom website varies greatly. A Somriure.cat website can start at just €500 in the case of a simple page, but this price increases if you need new branding and unique features.
Hosting
We'll take care of hosting your website with a smile, for a monthly price starting at €7,50 (depending on your website's traffic and complexity).
Domain registration
You can bring your own domain, or ask us to handle registration for you. In either case, you'll have to consider a yearly fee starting at approximately €10, depending on your chosen domain extension.
Get in touch for a no-strings-attached quote or for any question! You can also inquire about the possibilities for discounts for non-profits or environmentally conscious organisations.
No, once your website has been published, it's possible to edit its content at any time, free of charge, via Umbraco, the friendly content management system. Costs would only be incurred if you need new features to be developed, or to modify the design in ways not included in the originally published site.
Sustainability
A website is responsble for indirect emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO2. These emissions come mainly from energy consumption, both from the hosting server and from your website's users' devices.
It's possible to reduce a website's environmental impact with measures such as compression, efficiency, and good design. This does not mean a worse user experience: on the contrary, a well-designed and efficiently coded website creates an even better UX.
Services such as Website Carbon can estimate your website's greenhouse gas emissions. We can add a Website Carbon banner to your website with a smile, highlighting your website's environmental friendliness.
Features
All our websites are fully responsive. This means that sizing and layout of your website's content changes according to a device's screen, making it suitable for desktop computers, laptops, and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Of course! It's possible to include a blog or news section, or any other custom type of content. This includes special features such as tagging and categorisation, authorship, and featured images. Get in touch to learn more about the possibilities!
Get in touch to discuss the possibility of creating a membership system and a website section that's only available to registered members. This is a convenient way to have an intranet system, offer exclusive file downloads or sensitive information, and more.
Of course! The Umbraco CMS allows for multiple users to edit the website, each with their own password. If necessary, different levels of access and permissions can be set, giving specific users the rights to edit only specific items.
Of course! With any custom domain name it's possible to create as many e-mail addresses as you want, allowing you to send professional e-mail linked to your website. Get in touch to learn more about the possibilities!

Each website project is unique, and so we invite you to a chat and to discuss what we can do for your website with a smile.
