01webflow or framer, not wordpress, why?
because you want a brand surface that runs five years in two languages without a plugin war every update. webflow and framer give you a calm upgrade path, no theme vendor lock-in, faster pages out of the box, and a cms your marketing team holds without a developer. most bangkok agencies default to wordpress because it is the only thing their team can build. we build for where you will be in five years, not for what is cheapest to produce this quarter.
02what about pdpa for analytics and forms?
handled in the build, not bolted on after. pdpa-compliant consent banner, retention settings written down, server-side analytics where it cuts third-party loading and consent friction. form submissions logged with a purpose-of-processing notice. data subject rights endpoint wired when your volume calls for it. we ship eu engineering standards from a bangkok desk, pdpa and eu ai act ready.
03english only or english plus thai?
your call, and both are standard. expat-led bangkok businesses usually launch english only. thai-native dtc brands and anyone selling to thai customers get english and thai with correct hreflang. the architecture takes thai later without a migration. launching english first is fine. flipping the switch six months later and torching your rankings is not, and that is exactly what the architecture prevents.
04are you physically in bangkok?
yes, since 2024, with a studio in the sukhumvit corridor and a thai senior partner, mameaw. site visits and real meetings at roast thonglor or common ground are part of the engagement. utc+7, english first, replies inside 24 hours. brussels since 2021, bangkok since 2024, and the same senior people on both.
05how does payment work for bangkok clients?
usd primary on the invoice with the thb equivalent shown. stripe usd for expat-led clients, wise usd for international transfers, thai bank transfer in thb for thai-native clients. terms are 50/50 under usd 25k and 30/40/30 at usd 25k and above. every price is published on this page before you ever speak to us.
06when is a rebuild better than a retainer?
rebuild when the business has genuinely moved, new markets, new product lines, an acquisition, and the design system no longer describes the company. if the change fits inside the system we built, a retainer is cheaper and much faster. no bangkok smb needs a rebuild every 18 months. that cycle exists to fund the agency, not to grow you.
07how much does web design cost in bangkok?
USD 12,500 is the starting point, roughly THB 312,835 at 32.93, scope-based with a fixed price per phase agreed after one paid discovery week. That buys a Webflow or Framer build, our own design system rather than a bought theme, bilingual EN and TH routing, and Lighthouse 95+ on mobile as an acceptance test. Your quote lands within 48 hours of a 30-minute call.
08how long does a website redesign take?
Ten weeks end to end: discover in weeks 1 to 2, architect in weeks 3 to 5, build in weeks 6 to 9, handover in week 10. Smaller scopes ship faster and the date is fixed at the discovery week, not guessed later. Horsetonic went live in 6 weeks on Next.js and Supabase at Lighthouse 95+ on mobile.

12do i need a full website or just a landing page?
A landing page covers one campaign or one product and goes live in days. A full web design engagement from USD 12,500 is for teams past a Squarespace or WordPress theme, carrying bilingual content, growing product lines and recruitment pages inside one system that does not need replacing every 18 months.
13do you build websites in english and thai?
Yes, and bilingual routing is standard rather than a paid extra: URL prefixes per locale, correct hreflang, a sitemap per language, translated OG tags, schema markup per language, and LINE OA share cards that render right the first time. Expat-led Bangkok businesses can launch EN only and add Thai later without losing a single ranking when the switch flips.
