What actually moves the price

Page count & contentA 3-page site and a 15-page catalogue are different projects.
Custom design vs. a templateTemplates (a reusable, standard layout) are faster and cheaper. Custom design answers a deeper need: an image that's unique, authentic, and truly reflects you.
FeaturesBooking calendars, online stores, and lead-tracking forms all add build time.
What happens after launchHere are the main recurring costs of a website after development: hosting (getting your site live on the internet), backups, and small content changes.
IntegrationsConnecting a payment processor, CRM, booking tool, or email marketing platform adds development and testing time.
Content & photographyProfessional copywriting and photos take real production time. Supplying your own content keeps the price down.

Why I don't put a number on this page

Every project starts with a free audit of your current website (lead capture, speed, mobile-friendliness, and SEO). You get a report ranking what will make you the most money first. After that, in a meeting, we go over your needs and expectations.

What you get in our offer: a fixed price, clear specifications, and a delivery date.

The questions clients ask frequently

What if I only need small fixes, not a full rebuild?

Small fixes are exactly what "Rapid Fixes" above is for. That means a few bug repairs or urgent updates, delivered quickly, with no commitment for what comes after.

Is the audit really free, and what happens after?

Yes, no cost and no obligation on your part. It's an analysis of how your current site is performing. If you decide to move forward from there, we'll meet to clarify your needs, your expectations, the costs, and the delivery date.

Why don't you publish exact prices?

Because a real price depends on your project, and a range wide enough to cover every project isn't actually useful to you. You'll have an exact, fixed number within a day of the follow-up call.
