06 — Pricing

Two ways to work together.

One flat build price, a small monthly retainer, and your domain. Pick the tier that matches the site you need — first draft lands in three weeks either way.

Essential
Flat, focused sites
starting price · then $40–$60/mo retainer

Starting price. Your exact cost depends on the work involved — page count, design detail, media, SEO depth, integrations, and any e-commerce or marketplace features. The monthly retainer lands in the $40–$60 range based on how much upkeep your site needs.

A clean, mostly static site that says exactly what you do.

  • First draft in 3 weeks
  • Up to 5 pages or tabs
  • Clean, mostly static site

Common questions

The questions we get most

Which tier is right for me?

If you mainly need to be found and understood — five pages or fewer, a few photos, no logins — Essential covers it. If you need forms, a dashboard, a tool, lots of media, or the ability to log in and change things yourself, that's Complete.

Can I upgrade from Essential to Complete later?

Yes. You pay the difference between the two build prices plus a small amount for the new scope, and your retainer moves to the Complete rate. Nothing gets rebuilt from scratch.

How does the rush add-on work?

The rush fee moves your first draft to within 4 business days instead of three weeks. Revisions and launch follow the normal pace, and it's available on either tier.

What happens if I want to cancel the monthly retainer?

Cancel any time with 30 days' notice. The site is yours — we hand off the code and hosting credentials so you or another developer can take over cleanly.

Do I own the code and the domain?

Yes, both. The domain is registered in your name from day one, and the finished code is handed over to you.

What if I need a bigger change mid-year?

Larger work — a new section, a rebuilt page, a new feature — is quoted as a small fixed-price add-on before we start. No hourly surprises.

Do you work with clients outside the US?

Yes. All communication is async-friendly and we work across all time zones.
