Frequently asked questions about websites, AI automation and pricing

Honest answer: it depends on scope. A custom one-pager comes to roughly €2,500–4,000, a multi-page business website to roughly €4,500–6,500, and AI automations and platforms accordingly more. Every price includes a €800 base fee covering setup, project management and handover. These figures show the Business level. The Premium level sits well above it and adds a dedicated discovery phase, individual design including motion, three revision rounds instead of one, and six months of warranty instead of three. Rather than forcing you into a call first, we simply show you: the price configurator puts both levels side by side and works out your range in 2 minutes – no commitment, no sign-up. All amounts shown are final: exempt from VAT under § 6 (1) 27 of the Austrian VAT Act (small business scheme).

Quite the opposite, that is the normal starting point. You do not need to know whether the answer is a booking system, an automation or simply a better website. Tell us how your day runs and what eats the most time – we will do the translating. The biggest saving is often in the place you would never have thought of yourself.

All of them. Founders and sole traders, freelancers, mid-sized businesses, associations, federations and foundations – from trades to consulting to retail to education. The industry does not decide whether we can help; what matters is whether there is a place where a system saves you time or money. There nearly always is.

Three schemes are accepting applications right now. Vienna-based businesses can receive up to 50% of eligible costs (max. €50,000) from the Wirtschaftsagentur Wien on projects from €10,000; the company needs a Vienna business location it has held for at least a year. Upper Austria funds up to 35% via the WKO OÖ (max. €7,000, from €12,000), Carinthia up to 30% via the KWF (max. €10,000, from €10,000) – only for projects with a genuine AI component. Everywhere: the application has to be filed before the project starts, a website or web shop on its own is not eligible, and only one scheme ever counts. Austria-wide schemes such as KMU.DIGITAL are not accepting applications right now — their budget is exhausted. The configurator factors in whatever is open for your location, and we help with the application. The decision always rests with the funding body.

Yes. We are based in Lower Austria and work remotely – the AI check is a call anyway, and everything after it works the same way. Only the grants are tied to a location: the Austrian schemes require a company based in Austria, the Wirtschaftsagentur grant a business location in Vienna.

The safeguard is built into how we work, not into a promise. Solaris Agent is a sole proprietorship with fixed, independent partners: a second developer also takes on whole projects, sales partners run the conversations. After handover the code and every account belong to you, documented and on a widely used stack (Astro, React, Supabase) – any developer can take over, and everything we build keeps running on your accounts, with or without us. Care is optional and cancellable monthly. Being small here means short lines, not dependence.

A one-pager is up in a few weeks, a business website in one to two months, larger platforms depending on scope – the binding date is in the quote. Work starts with your order confirmation, not when a slot opens up in an agency calendar.

Less than you would expect: one conversation at the start, then a short round of feedback per stage. We prepare the copy, the imagery and the structure – you correct rather than stare at a blank page. Bring your own material if you have it; if you do not, we provide it.

You already are: the chatbot in the corner is our own product – ask it about pricing, funding or services. The price configurator too. We don't sell anything you can't experience live on this page.

Yes, always. Every assistant we build states visibly that it is an AI, and never claims to be human even if asked directly. The EU AI Act has required this since August 2026 – we build it in from the start rather than retrofitting it.

In the EU. Website and applications run in the Dublin data centre (Ireland), the database is in Ireland as well. No transfer to the US for operations, no tracking cookies, no cookie banner – the details are in the privacy policy.

Yes, entirely. No builder subscription, no agency lock‑in: you get clean, documented code on a modern stack (Astro, React, Supabase) and can continue with any developer at any time – including without us. We're confident you'll stay anyway.

We do not leave you alone with the site – but we do not force anything on you either. Ongoing care is optional and cancellable monthly: Basis from €199 a month for operation, monitoring and bug fixes (hosting and database run on your own accounts); Standard from €449 adding content upkeep, a quality check and a monthly report; Premium from €849 with continuous development and priority support. Or you can run it yourself, since the code is yours.

For individual texts: yes, and you should. What we build is something else: a system that captures your enquiries, turns a conversation into a quote, books appointments and answers from your own documents – around the clock, on your website, in your tone. It identifies itself as an AI, its data stays in the EU, and its answers are checked against a fixed test suite. That is engineering, not chatting – and the configurator tells you the price up front.

We define that per workflow before anything is built – in three levels. Automatic is what is unambiguous: filing an enquiry, entering an appointment, storing a receipt. A draft is anything that acts outward – a quote, a reply to a customer – and waits for your approval. And where the system is unsure, it asks instead of acting and puts the case in front of you. Which level applies to which step is written in the quote – and you can move it at any time.
