How much does a custom small-business website cost?
Here is the honest range:
- $5,000 Starter: a single landing page, hand-coded, with a contact form and basic SEO.
- $12,000 Standard: a full multi-section site, lead capture wired up, email routing, and animations.
- $25,000 Premium: the full website plus a built-in admin dashboard and mini-CRM.
Every project starts with a free quote conversation. Most clients land within these tiers within 30 minutes of talking through scope.
Why not just use Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress?
Those tools are great for hobby sites and template-driven projects. They are not great when you need:
- A site that loads fast on mobile (page builders are bloated).
- Custom logic, like a quote calculator, multi-stage form, or CRM integration.
- To own your code so you can move providers without rebuilding from scratch.
I hand-code every site so it is fast, accessible, easy to maintain, and yours outright.
How long does a project take?
Most projects deliver in 6 to 10 weeks from the signed quote. Starter sites are faster (2 to 4 weeks). The biggest delays are usually waiting on content, images, or feedback from your end. If you are responsive, I ship faster.
Who actually does the work?
Me. From first call to go-live, you talk to one person and that person is doing the build. No offshore subcontractors, no juniors, no account manager who relays messages.
What happens after launch?
You get 30 days of post-launch bug-fix support at no extra cost. After that, ongoing support is on a separate retainer or hourly basis. You also get the source code and full ownership. Nothing is held hostage.
Do I need to provide my own content and copy?
You provide the raw material: services, prices, photos, the story of your business. I help shape it into copy that reads well on a website. Full copywriting from scratch is an add-on (typically $1,500 to $3,000 depending on word count).
What do you need from me to start?
- An enquiry via the contact form so I have your project details in writing.
- A 30-minute call to talk through scope, timeline, and any tricky bits.
- A signed quote and 50% deposit to lock in your start date.
From there I provide a build calendar and weekly progress updates until go-live.
