Everything else, priced plainly.
Add any of these to a package, or buy them on their own. Care plans are optional — your site keeps working whether or not you're on one.
What the price always includes.
- A fixed price agreed before any work starts
- A real launch date, not an estimate that drifts
- Revisions while it's being built, not billed after
- Search, analytics and share cards configured
- Your domain, your hosting account, your ownership
- A walkthrough so you can manage it yourself
Half to start, half at launch.
50% deposit books your spot on the calendar and starts the work. The balance is due when the site goes live on your domain. Care plans and monthly SEO are billed monthly and can be cancelled any time.

What does it actually cost?
Websites start at $199. The most popular package — a full custom business site — is $349, Business Pro with bookings, payments and advanced forms is $499, and custom builds and web applications start at $750, quoted per project. You get a fixed price before any work begins — no hourly surprises. First-time clients get $50 off, and referrals earn $100 toward your next project.
How long does a website take?
A Starter site is usually live in 2–4 days. A full business site takes 1–2 weeks. Custom builds with ordering, accounts or payments are scoped individually — most land between three and six weeks.
The biggest variable is content: if photos and details are ready when we start, it moves fast.
Do I own the website?
Yes, completely. It's launched on a domain you own, on hosting in your name, with your accounts. There's no proprietary platform and no monthly fee required to keep your own site online. If you ever want to take it elsewhere, it goes with you.
What about ongoing changes after launch?
You can handle edits yourself, hire me per change, or put the site on Website Care ($25/mo — hosting, SSL, monitoring, backups and minor updates) or Website Care+ ($50/mo — plus monthly content changes). Nothing is mandatory — the site keeps working either way.
Do you build with WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace?
No. Everything is hand-coded. That's why these sites load faster, score better in search, and can do things a template can't — like a live menu, an ordering system, or a customer dashboard. If you already have a site on one of those platforms, I can rebuild it and move it over.
