How pricing works

Quoted up front. Built around your business.

Every business is different, so every project is quoted on its own. We talk through what you need first, and you know the price before any work starts.

  • You pay only for what you need. Start small and add more later.
  • No monthly fees to me, and nothing to cancel.
  • You pay your hosting company directly, at their regular price, with no markup.
Discuss your project

What sets the price

  • How many pages

    A simple one-page site costs less than a site with a page for every service.

  • Who writes the words

    Send me your text, or I can write it for you.

  • Logo and brand

    Keep the logo you have, refresh it, or start new.

  • Special features

    Booking, online orders, or photo galleries add to the build.

You own your website

Your domain, your hosting, your accounts.

Your website, listings, and accounts are set up in your name, and you pay your hosting company directly. There are no monthly fees to me and nothing to cancel. When you need a change, just ask. Every update is quoted before I start.

Questions

Common questions.

How much does a website cost?

Every project is quoted up front, so you know the price before work starts. It depends on things like how many pages you need and whether you need a logo.

Who owns the website and pays for hosting?

You do. Your domain, hosting, listings, and accounts are set up in your name, and you pay the hosting company directly. I get added as a manager so I can help.

Can you fix or refresh my existing website?

Yes. Start with the free website checkup. It shows what is worth keeping, so you can choose between a refresh and a rebuild.

Can you design a logo without a website?

Yes. A logo, brand guidelines, or launch materials can be their own project, quoted up front.

Can you fix my Google, Apple Maps, and Yelp listings?

Yes. I claim and update your free listings so they all match. Some sites make the owner verify by phone, postcard, or video. I don't buy ads or promise reviews.

What happens after launch?

Three months in, you get a 90-day results report. It is included in every website project. After that, send update requests any time, and each one is quoted first.

Will my website show up on Google?

Nobody can promise a ranking. Every site I build is set up for search: page titles, descriptions, a sitemap, Search Console, and your Google Business Profile.
