Explained simply

    LootSquad Academy

    Looking for someone to build your website and lost in tech talk? Here we explain everything in plain language.

    A website is like a shop: it has to be built, cleaned, rearranged and refreshed now and then. Sadly none of that happens by itself. That is why you need someone who takes care of it – not once, but continuously.

    Here we explain step by step who does this work (agency, freelancer, fixed team), what it costs, what „flat rate“ or „subscription“ actually means and how to spot when someone is taking advantage of you. No jargon. No prior knowledge needed.

    Explained simply

    [ Starter · 04 terms ]

    Four terms you see everywhere – explained so you get them straight away. No prior knowledge needed.

    01. Developer flat

    What is a developer flat?

    Think of a gym membership – but for your website. You pay the same amount every month and we build, change and improve things for you as often as you like. No new quote for every little thing, no surprise invoice.

    02. Website flat rate

    What is a website flat rate?

    We build your website, keep it online, keep it clean and up to date – and whenever you want something changed, you just message us. All in one fixed monthly price, like your phone contract.

    03. Subscription model

    What does „software as a subscription“ mean?

    You have a fixed team working for you every month. You say what matters most, we work through it in order. No hiring, no managing, no need to plan everything up front.

    04. External team

    Do I need my own staff for this?

    No. Hiring your own developer costs a lot and takes months. Instead you can simply bring in a ready-made team – available immediately, cheaper, and you can stop any time.
