Question 1

How much does a website cost for a small business?

Accepted Answer

In our pricing: a starter site runs $1,500 – $2,500, most service-business sites land at $3,000 – $5,500, and complex builds (advanced forms, portals, e-commerce) run $6,000 – $10,000+. Agencies price all over the map — the honest answer is that scope, content and integrations drive the number more than the label on the package.

Question 2

What makes a website more expensive?

Accepted Answer

Four things, in order: e-commerce (product setup, payments, shipping logic), copywriting (writing pages from scratch versus polishing what you have), custom integrations (booking systems, CRMs, member areas), and page count. A rush timeline adds roughly 20% because it displaces other scheduled work.

Question 3

Why do agencies quote such different prices for the same site?

Accepted Answer

Because 'a website' hides the scope. One quote includes copywriting, SEO setup and training; another is a template with your logo on it. Compare what's written in the scope, not the headline number — and be suspicious of any quote produced without anyone asking you questions.

Question 4

Is this estimate binding?

Accepted Answer

No — it's a range so you can rule us in or out in 30 seconds. The number you can hold us to is the written proposal you get after a scope review, and that number doesn't move unless the scope does.

Question 5

What are the ongoing costs after launch?

Accepted Answer

Hosting and domain run $10 – $50/mo for most sites. Optional monthly plans: Website Care $250 – $750, SEO $500 – $1,500, ads management $750 – $2,500 (plus ad spend), AI automation $500 – $2,500. None are required — plenty of clients launch and handle updates themselves.
