We’d rather keep earning your business than charge you thousands upfront.
Kohmera isn’t a cheaper web agency. It’s a different deal: we build first, you decide second, and then we stay. We only get paid while the website keeps being worth it.
Most web companies ask you to pay first. We think that’s backwards.
Then the website slowly goes out of date, and a few years later you pay for another one.

Your business changes. The website keeps up.
Still getting better.
What that means in practice.
- See it before you buy it.You look at the real website first. Not a mockup, not a promise.
- No massive build invoice.The build costs nothing up front. We earn our keep month by month.
- Your domain stays yours.It stays in your name, where you bought it. We connect it; we never hold it.
- We stay involved after launch.Launch is the start of the work, not the end of the invoice.
- Your website keeps evolving.It gets better as your customers and your business change.
- Plain-English pricing.One monthly price for the website. Anything bigger is quoted before it starts.
- No unnecessary technical nonsense.You will never need to learn what a DNS record is. Unless you want to.
- Real people you can contact.Write to us and a person answers. A person checks every change before it goes live.
- Technology should make business easier.If it adds work for you, we built it wrong.

Stop replacing your website. Start improving it.
Designed to be the last website you need to start over with.
Most business websites slowly age until someone decides it’s time to spend thousands replacing them. Kohmera keeps your website actively managed instead, so it never falls that far behind.
- If the company changes, we update it.
- If visitors behave differently, we improve it.
- If new services launch, we add them.
- If search behaviour changes, we adapt.
- If visual standards evolve, we modernize.

When the front office and back office finally talk to each other.
Most small businesses run on pieces that never meet: a website here, a calendar there, invoices in one app and receipts in a shoebox. Kohmera connects them.
- Website inquiry
- Customer information
- Quote
- Booking
- Invoice
- Payment
- Bookkeeping records
- Reporting
The exact systems differ by business. The idea doesn’t: information entered once, flowing to where it’s needed.

You’ve already imagined a better website. What if we’ve already built it?
No build fee. No credit card. See it before you decide.
