Website Design Prices: $2,500 Flat

The three things costing you customers.

“Request a quote” means they are sizing you up.

If the price depends on the shape of your business, it depends on what you look like you can pay. Publishing one number is the only way a small business gets the same deal as a big one.

The monthly that never ends.

A $99 setup and $79 a month sounds gentle until year four. The hosting is bundled so the site cannot leave, and the day you stop paying is the day it goes dark. You rented it.

The change order.

Hourly work turns every good idea into an invoice, so you stop asking for good ideas. A flat price puts us on the same side: we want it finished and working as much as you do.

Made for your line of work.

Every build includes design, all the copy written for you, local SEO foundations and the 90+ PageSpeed guarantee, plus the pieces your industry actually needs:

Up to 15 pages: designed around getting you booked, not admired
Every word written: you approve, we polish, you never face a blank page
Booking or quote flow: wired and tested, not a dusty contact form
90+ PageSpeed: guaranteed in writing, or we keep working free
Local SEO groundwork: maps, schema, sitemap, the boring critical parts
Handoff doc: any developer could pick it up cold

Everything in the box.

The parts nobody thinks to ask about until later. Every line of this sits in your agreement, in plain English.

Your domain registered in your own name from day one. We never hold it.
Two full rounds of refinements included, on every build.
SSL, mobile-first layout and the accessibility basics.
Your Google Business Profile set up properly, with the details matching the site.
A booking or quote flow, wired and tested before launch.
Schema, sitemap and robots: the groundwork that lets Google read you.
A handoff doc written so any developer could pick the site up cold.
Hosting, SSL and backups on any care plan. Without one, the site runs from your own account and the domain renewal, about $10–15 a year, is the only standing cost.
No hourly meter anywhere in the agreement, ever.

And the one that matters most on a page about money: when you pay, the design, the copy and the code become yours. That is section 8 of the agreement, which you can read in full before you pay a cent.

Rent it, or own it.

Same five years. Same small business. Only one of them ends with a website in your name.

01Rented: $5,740

A setup fee, then a bill every month, forever. The hosting is bundled in, so the site cannot leave. Stop paying and it goes dark. A $1,000 setup plus $79 a month comes to $5,740 over five years, and at the end you are holding nothing.

02Owned: $2,500

One payment, published right here on the page. Your domain and your accounts from the first day. Stop paying us and the site keeps running, because it was always yours. Five years in, it is still yours.

Care plans sit on top of that by choice, from $199 a month, and they cancel with one email. The plans are laid out here if you want to see what each one does.

Asked and answered.

Yes, and it is the same $2,500 for everyone. Up to fifteen pages, every word of copy, the booking flow, the local SEO groundwork and the 90+ PageSpeed guarantee are all inside it. Extra pages beyond the fifteen get a flat price agreed in writing before anyone builds them, whether that is mid-build or two years later. There is no hourly meter anywhere in the agreement.

Nothing. The design, the copy and the code transfer to you when you pay, and your domain was registered in your own name from day one. A care plan is a service, not a condition of owning your site: start it, pause it or cancel it with one email. Hosting, SSL and backups come with any plan; without one the site moves to your own hosting account, where a static site this light sits inside the free tier most hosts offer. Your only standing bill is the domain renewal, usually about $10–15 a year straight to your registrar. Edits without a plan are $95 each, whenever you want one.

Because bundling it is how the lock-in works. If your hosting lives inside their monthly fee, leaving means losing the site. Here the plan buys you unlimited small edits, monitoring, reporting and the marketing work, and it earns its place every month or it does not. Month-to-month, cancel with one email, 30-day handoff if you go.

Yes. Start any care plan at signing and the build is $2,000 instead of $2,500. That is the only discount, it is published here, and it is in the agreement.

Then we quote the extra pages flat, in writing, before any work starts. Fifteen covers almost everyone: a page for every service, every town you serve and every question customers keep asking. Worth saying plainly, though, that six pages answering the right questions will out-earn twenty nobody reads.
