€449 is not a small amount. And when you can find a WordPress template on ThemeForest for €29, or a Squarespace template for €19, the price difference demands an explanation.
Here it is.
What is physically included
Every Jokodsign template includes a full multi-page design built in WordPress and Elementor Pro. You get a complete homepage, portfolio section, about page, contact page, and where relevant, a shop or booking integration. One-click import means the entire design installs in minutes — you do not spend days trying to assemble it.
The design includes cinematic animations, intentional mobile optimisation designed page by page rather than adapted automatically, a detailed installation guide, and 30 days of direct support. If something does not work, you have access to the person who built it.
What cannot be itemised
The list above is the functional answer. But it does not explain the price fully, and pretending it does would be dishonest.
The real value in a premium template is the visual intelligence behind every decision. The spacing between lines of text. The way an image bleeds to the edge of the screen at exactly the right moment. The choice of a typeface that communicates authority without aggression. The restraint of knowing what not to include.
These are not things that happen by accident or by dragging elements around a canvas. They are the result of years of design training and hundreds of hours of studying what makes high-end brands feel the way they feel.
A €29 template was built in two days to sell at volume. A Jokodsign template was built to make one type of creative woman look like the best version of her business.
The real comparison
The honest alternative comparison is not a €29 template. It is:
A custom website with a designer: €2,000–5,000 minimum, with a 4–8 week timeline and no guarantee the designer understands your industry or aesthetic.
A generic template and weeks of DIY customisation: the financial cost is lower but the time cost is significant, and the result is often a site that looks adapted rather than designed.
Staying on a platform that limits you: the monthly cost compounds over years, and the creative ceiling is real.
A premium template at €449 is the middle path — professional quality, full ownership, and a design built specifically for the creative industry you work in. It installs in an afternoon. It works from day one.
One honest caveat
If your business is just starting out and €449 is genuinely out of reach right now, start with the €29 digital guide. It will help you understand exactly what your website needs before you invest in anything. When you are ready, the templates will be here.

The instinct, when a website isn’t performing, is to rebuild it. That instinct is usually wrong — and expensive. Most underperforming sites don’t need to be torn down. They need a precise diagnosis of the two or three things actually costing them visitors, enquiries, or sales. That’s what a Website Audit is for.
Most failed websites don’t fail on design — they fail because the strategic decisions were never made before the design started. YOUR FIRST WEBSITE fixes the order of operations: who the site is for, what action a visitor should take, and what needs to be said in the first ten seconds. A working document, not a design guide.
Most creative websites default to white backgrounds and safe grids because that’s what “clean” is supposed to look like. Chéri does the opposite — using black as a design tool to give a single photograph the weight of a gallery wall. Built for photographers, models, and artists whose work already carries visual tension, not for anyone who needs convincing that less is more.

If your work commands premium rates — and it should — your website needs to match that signal.
A portfolio that looks like a €29 template suggests, quietly but clearly, that that is what you are worth.
