First 'ROI by Price Range' Analysis for Web Production Costs Released: Projects Under 300,000 Yen Show High Renewal Rates Within One Year, Leading to Increased Total Costs

Mycat Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo) is releasing an analysis report on the ROI of web production costs by price range, based on operational data from its AI estimation platform 'VOLT' (https://volt-web.dev) and industry research.

Background: The Structure Where Low Initial Costs Drive Up Total Expenses

When small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) commission web production, the primary decision-making criterion is often 'as cheap as possible.' However, VOLT's analysis data (estimated values) confirms that the lower the production cost, the higher the likelihood that additional investment or a full renewal will be required within one year.

Trends in Additional Investment by Price Range (Estimates)

By analyzing data from the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency's 'IT Introduction Subsidy' and the public pricing and service details of over 50 web production companies, VOLT identified the following trends:

• Production costs under 300,000 yen: A high percentage of these projects lack SSL, are not optimized for smartphones, or do not include a CMS. These omissions frequently lead to additional costs for necessary updates.
• Production costs over 800,000 yen: A high percentage of these projects cover the aforementioned basic requirements at the initial stage, resulting in a lower frequency of additional investments.

*This is a trend based on VOLT's analysis data and does not imply that low prices automatically equate to low quality. Service offerings vary by production company.

Perspective on Appropriate Investment

The appropriate investment amount for web production varies depending on the industry, purpose, and scale. Comparing the 'total cost over three years,' including maintenance, operation, and renovation costs, rather than just the initial cost, leads to more rational investment decisions.

Overview of 'VOLT'

VOLT is a platform where users can input their industry, purpose, and scale to have an AI calculate the appropriate price range for web production. It can be used as a benchmark when comparing quotes from multiple production companies.
