Starting prices are for a typical scope. A written quote follows the first conversation and does not move afterwards unless you add something.

What the website price includes

Build

Design and launch

Five to eight pages, written and built for your business, not adapted from a template meant for someone else.

Booking

One clear action

A quote form or booking flow that works on a phone, with the fields your office actually needs and none it does not.

Search

Found locally

Google Business Profile set up properly, service-area pages, and the structured data that puts your hours and reviews in search results.

Speed

Loads in under two seconds

Compressed images, no page builder bloat, tested on a real phone on a real connection.

Handover

You own it

Logins, files, and a recorded walkthrough so you can change your own hours and prices.

Optional

Ongoing care

Hosting, updates and content changes from $180/month. Never automatic, never bundled in.

What changes the price

More pages, a booking or payment flow, an online store, a second language, writing and photography, and connections to other software all add scope. We say so in the quote, line by line.

Third-party costs such as hosting, a Shopify subscription, your domain and paid fonts are paid directly by you at cost. We do not mark them up and we do not resell them.

What you are not paying for: an account manager, a retainer you forget to cancel, or a proposal that takes three weeks to arrive.

Questions people ask about cost

Why do you publish prices?

Asking people to book a call to learn whether something costs $2,000 or $20,000 wastes their time and ours. The published figure is a starting price for a typical scope.

Are hosting and other third-party costs included?

No. Hosting, Shopify subscriptions, domain registration and paid fonts are paid directly by you, at cost. We do not mark them up.

Do I have to move my existing website?

No. If your current host and domain work, we build in place or migrate — whichever is less disruptive. You keep your domain either way.

What if I already have a Facebook page and no site?

That is common and it is a real gap. Facebook ranks poorly in local search and you do not control it. A small site plus a Google Business Profile usually outperforms a busy Facebook page for enquiries.

Can I update it myself?

Yes. Text, prices, hours and photos are all editable without touching code, and the handover walkthrough covers exactly how.

How much does hosting cost after launch?

Roughly $15–30 a month if you handle it yourself. We will set it up and tell you what you are paying for.
