How much does a website cost?
Most web designers make you sit through a sales call before they will tell you a number. We would rather just show you. Move the slider, pick the kind of site you need, and see a real range built from the same rates we actually charge.

A setup fee, plus a price per page
Think about building a house. Pouring the foundation and running the plumbing costs roughly the same whether you are building two bedrooms or four. Then each bedroom adds cost on top of that.
Websites work the same way. The setup fee covers the work we do once no matter the size of the site: settling the design direction, building the responsive framework so it works on every phone, applying your brand, and getting it hosted, secured, and live. After that, each page reuses what we already built, so pages are priced separately and more cheaply.
Pages also get cheaper the more you order, because by the sixth page the layout and components already exist. That is a genuine reduction in the work, so we pass it on rather than pretending page twelve costs the same as page one.
- Pages 1–5 — full rate
- Pages 6–10 — 15% less
- Pages 11+ — 30% less
What that works out to
| Project | Tier | Estimated range |
|---|---|---|
| A 3-page starter site | Static, no SEO | $950 – $1,300 |
| A 5-page local business site | Static + SEO | $2,150 – $2,900 |
| A 10-page site with a blog | Static + SEO | $3,750 – $5,075 |
| An 8-page store with booking | Dynamic + SEO | $5,875 – $7,950 |
Generated from the same rates the calculator uses, so these can never drift out of date.
What you actually get
The difference between the tiers is not how good the site looks. All three are custom-designed. The difference is whether Google can find it, and whether the site can do things on its own.

Keeping it running
The build is a one-time number, but a website is not finished at launch. Hosting, security updates, backups, and the small changes you will want as the business changes are ongoing. You can handle all of it yourself — you own the site, so nothing stops you — or hand it to us on a care plan.

Hosting, SSL, backups, uptime monitoring, and security updates.
Growth
$145/mo
Everything in Essential, plus content edits each month and a performance report.
SEO
$200/mo
Everything in Growth, plus ongoing keyword work and Google Business Profile management.
Nobody likes “contact us for a quote”
Most web design companies hide their pricing so you have to talk to someone before you know whether you can afford them. It wastes your time, and it means the number you eventually hear depends on how the call went rather than on the work involved.
We would rather put the rates on a public page and let you decide in private whether we are in your range. If we are not, you have lost two minutes instead of an afternoon. If we are, the conversation starts with the real work instead of a negotiation.
It is in the name. A true rate is one you can look up.
