Pricing, explained
How much does a website actually cost?
Most agencies won't tell you until after a sales call. Here's our real number, and why it doesn't need to climb into the thousands to get you a professional site.
Why this is rare
Why most web agencies won't just tell you the price
Search "how much does a website cost" and almost every result says "it depends" and asks you to book a call. It does depend a little — on scope — but that's exactly what a published flat rate can account for without a sales call.
The quote depends on how the call goes
Without a published number, price often tracks how the sales conversation goes rather than the actual scope of the work — the same site can quote very differently to two different callers.
A "custom quote" hides the comparison
If you can't see the price until after a call, you can't easily compare it to anyone else's, which is the point — it keeps you from shopping around.
It sets up a longer sales process
A quote-only model usually means a discovery call, a proposal document, and a follow-up before you even know if it's in your budget — days added before either side knows if it's a fit.
The real number
One flat price, not a ladder to climb
Most small business sites need the same core things — a handful of pages, a working contact form, a design that holds up on a phone. So instead of a tier system that escalates with every added feature, there's one setup range and one monthly plan.
Website
One plan, sized to fit your business — no tiers to compare, no upsell path to guess at.
$500–750 one-time setup
$35/mo ongoing care
- A site sized to your business — most run 4–7 pages
- Mobile-responsive on every screen size
- Contact form that delivers to your inbox
- Basic on-page SEO
- Photo gallery and custom sections where they earn their place
What the monthly number actually covers
The setup fee is a one-time build cost. The $35/mo figure is hosting, uptime, security, and small routine edits, so there's no separate hosting bill showing up later, and no charge for asking us to update a phone number or swap a photo.
Common questions
Before you reach out
Why is this so much less than a typical agency quote?
Mainly stack and process: a modern static-first build with no CMS licensing, no plugin overhead, and no large agency team markup. The scope is real, not a bait-and-switch — see exactly what's included above.
Why is the setup fee a range instead of one number?
$500–750 covers the same core build for almost every small business site — the low end fits a straightforward site, the high end fits one with more content to organize. The free consultation tells you which side you land on before any fee is due.
Does the price go up once I sign?
No. The number you're quoted before the build starts is the number you pay — no add-on fees once work is underway, no retroactive increase on the monthly plan either.
What if my business needs something outside the standard scope?
Say so on the consultation call and we'll tell you honestly whether it fits the standard build or needs a custom quote — either way, you'll know the number before you commit to anything.
