Hotstack Websites and applications, with the scope in writing. The source code is yours.
This page shows what we build, what it costs, and what happens after handover.
Our previous work
What you see here we took from the plan through to release, and have maintained ever since — which is why we can show the whole of it.
Tiszafa Pékség
Order management for a bakery
2026 · Web app
Tiszafa Pékség replaced a Google Form with an order manager: priced orders, a daily capacity ceiling, and one bake sheet the family opens in the morning.
MetronomeLab
A metronome app for musicians
2020 · Mobile app
A visual metronome for iOS and Android, from the same code. On the App Store and Google Play since 2020, and every update since has been ours.
MetronomeLab website
Bilingual, with an editor
2026 · Website
The website for the metronome app, with a content editor behind it, in Hungarian and English. Exactly the kind of site we build for a business.
What we do
Websites, web applications and mobile applications. Plus the care that keeps them running after handover. Nothing else.
01
A website you edit yourself
One site that reads well on a phone, says what you do, for how much, and how to reach you. With a content editor behind it, so you swap text and images without calling us. Not a template, not a page builder.
Details02
Web application
For when a process has outgrown the spreadsheet, the shared inbox or the weekly round done by hand. Runs in a browser, behind a login, and does only what it needs to.
Details03
Mobile application
For iOS and Android from one codebase, released to the stores. For your customers, or for the people working in the field.
Details04
Care after handover
Hosting, backups, updates, small changes within a fixed response time. Monthly fee, cancel any time.
DetailsWhat is this going to cost?
We publish it. A website has a familiar shape, which is why it has a fixed price; an application does not, which is why development has a published hourly rate instead. Both numbers are on this page, and the scope is agreed in writing before anything starts.

Care
What happens after handover, written down, so nobody has to guess.
15 000 Ft
What's included
- Hosting for the website, backups, updates
- The hosting fee is included; without care, it is billed to you by Vercel, currently $20/month

- For applications: dependencies and store requirements kept current
- Cancel any time; the site stays yours
What's not included
- New pages or features: hourly rate
- Ad management
Prices are net of VAT. For a website the number in the proposal is the number here. For development the hourly rate is fixed and we write down in advance how many hours we expect. Anything a package does not include is hourly too, with the number agreed first. If the written estimate turns out not to cover it, we tell you first, and nothing more is invoiced without your approval.
What if I don't like it?
For a website, if after we have talked you think it is worth doing, and so do we, you see the demo before spending a forint. For an application we write the scope down before starting. The order is the whole point.
- 01
The call
Twenty minutes on the phone, or a few lines by e-mail: what your business does, who the thing you want built is for, and what bothers you about how it works today. If there is nothing there yet, that is a fine starting point too.
- 02
Something concrete, before you pay
For a website, if after we have talked you think it is worth doing, and so do we, we build a demo for your business in advance, at our own cost: if you don't like it, it ends here and you owe nothing. For an application, the scope in writing: what gets built, what does not, and how many hours we expect.
- 03
One number, in writing
A one-page proposal: what you get, for how much, by when. For a website a fixed price that doesn't move mid-way. For an application the published hourly rate and an estimate against a fixed scope. What's not included is written down too.
- 04
Build, and you see it as it goes
For a website the demo becomes the finished site and you send feedback twice. For an application you see what is finished as it is built, not only at the end. If something bothers you along the way, you call your contact.
- 05
Handover: it is yours
The domain, the editor and the source code in your name and in your own repository. You get the logins and a walkthrough. From here we either maintain it or we don't. Your call.
What happens after handover?
We write this down in advance, because it decides whether the site still works a year from now, and whether you get to choose who looks after it.
- The domain is in your name
- In your registrar account, under your e-mail address. Hire someone else tomorrow and the address goes with you.
- Hosting and backups
- On the care plan it runs in our account, and its cost is included in the monthly fee. Without care it goes into your name, and Vercel bills you directly, currently $20 a month. We hand over the logins and write down where everything is.
- Response time: 2 working days
- For small changes on the care plan. If we miss it, you tell us and we apologise, we do not look for excuses.
- The code and the content are yours
- It goes into your repository, not ours. Take it anywhere, hand it to someone else. No closed system you cannot leave.
- Care: 15 000 Ft + VAT / month
- That much, not more. Anything beyond (a new page, a new feature) is priced in advance.
- If we disappeared
- The site is static files on mainstream providers. The applications are built on ordinary frameworks, not on something we invented. Any developer can take it over; it does not depend on us to keep running.
What else do I need to know?
01Will the site be mine?
Yes. The domain and the editor are in your name, with your logins, and at handover the source code goes into your own repository. On the care plan the hosting runs in our account; if you cancel care, we move it into your name. If you pick another developer, there is nothing to 'buy out' from us.
02What if I don't like what you make?
For a website we talk first: twenty minutes on the phone, or a few lines by e-mail. If after that you think it is worth doing, and so do we, you see the demo before paying: if you do not like it, it ends there and you owe nothing, and during the build you get two rounds of changes. For an application the scope is written down first, and you see what is finished as it is built, not only at the end. If you get stuck at any point, you call your contact.
03Will there be hidden costs later?
No: we write down every cost in advance, including the ones we do not bill. For a website the proposal is one page with one number. For an application the price is the hourly rate and the written scope — nothing beyond it is invoiced without your approval. Your domain registrar bills you the annual domain fee, not us. Hosting is included in the monthly care fee; without care, Vercel bills you for it directly. The monthly care fee is on this page, and you can cancel care any time.
04How long until it is done?
A one-page site usually takes 1–2 weeks, and a company site of up to six pages 2–4 weeks, counted from when we have your materials: the copy, the photos, the contact details. The proposal names a concrete date. For an application the date follows from the written scope, and it is in the proposal too.
05Do I need to be technical to edit it?
No. In the editor you swap text and images like in a document. We walk you through it at handover, and if you get stuck, you call.
06Who will build it?
The person you agree the proposal with. Not outsourced, not from a template, and the same contact from start to finish. The phone number is in the contact section, and the imprint tells you who operates this site.
07Is an application fixed-price too?
No, and we would rather print that than hide it. A website has a familiar shape, which is why it has a fixed price. An application does not, so we fix the scope in writing instead, and the hourly rate is published on this page. That way you know in advance what an hour costs and what is inside the scope.
08What if it takes more hours than the estimate?
Nothing beyond the written estimate is invoiced without your approval. We keep count of the hours, not you, and we write to you before the estimate runs out — what is left, and how long it takes.
09What if my previous developer built my site and holds the domain?
We look at what is there and tell you whether it is worth carrying on with or cleaner to rebuild. If it is not worth it, we say so. Whatever follows is quoted against a written scope at the published hourly rate. On the domain: we find out where it is registered and write down what it takes to get it into your name — moving it goes through whoever holds it now, or through the registrar's own process, not through us.
10I already have a website. What happens to it?
We move it over, and that is included in the package price. The old addresses are redirected to the new pages, so the Google results you already have lead to the new site. We don't touch your business e-mail: only the website settings change, and if the domain moves as well, we carry the mail settings over and check them. We bring your existing text and photos across ourselves. Moving off Wix, WordPress or your old host is included too. Wix can't export a site, so we rebuild it – which is how every site here is built anyway.
