 * HI,
 * I wish to use a webdesign company to build my custom website with WordPress. 
   Which option is the best : a one time fee knowing that they charge more than 
   5000$ or a subscription fee like _[redacted]_ (around 50$/month with support 
   until the end of the subscription).
 * Thanks for your advice.

 * If a company invested time in creating a custom site for you, surely they’d expect
   to be compensated by the time of launch? Usually a proportion of it gets paid
   up front.
 * You might need a maintenance and support arrangement, so it’s common to have 
   an inital development fee plus an annual or quarterly fee for support.
 * A subscription fee for a custom-built website would be unusual. That’s more what
   you’d expect to sign up to an existing third party service.
 * But this really isn’t a WordPress question! And there can be so many factors,
   and you need to make the decision that suits you and your project, and your relationship
   with the company.
