Starting prices

Clear starting points. A quote that fits the actual job.

Every site is different, but pricing should not be a total mystery. These figures give you a realistic place to start before scope, access and priorities are confirmed.

What affects the quote?

No two “five-page websites” are really the same.

  • Current platform, hosting and access
  • Amount and quality of existing content
  • Design, functionality and integrations
  • Number of locations, services and important URLs
  • Who supplies copy, images and approvals
  • Urgency and ongoing support required

Third-party costs such as domains, software licences, advertising spend, stock imagery or specialist services are identified separately. Major revisions or out-of-scope work are quoted before proceeding.

Make the quote useful

What does a basic website starting from $650 mean?

A starting price, with a defined scope.

The $650 starting point is for a basic business website. Before proceeding, we agree on the page requirements, design, supplied content, functionality and handover. Additional copywriting, more complex layouts or integrations can change the quote. You will know what is included before work starts. For the approach behind the build, read about website design and development.

Separate the build from running the website.

A website purchase and its ongoing costs are different decisions. Domain registration, hosting, software licences and any ongoing care need to be understood alongside the initial build. The quote identifies relevant third-party costs and any recurring services separately. If you already have suitable hosting or accounts, tell me at the start so I can assess the existing setup.

Choose the SEO arrangement for the problem.

A defined audit or repair project suits a clear issue. Maintenance is about monitoring a stable foundation and making smaller updates. Active SEO involves more substantial analysis and improvement over time. The right option depends on the site’s condition and competition, as well as your budget. See how SEO work is prioritised before choosing a plan.

Bring the brief you have.

Send your website if there is one, the services you want to promote, any features you need and your preferred timing. A few examples of websites you like can help explain the direction. If you are unsure about page count or platform, that is fine. We can work those out before you commit to a specification that does not fit.

Let’s make it useful

Need a number for a real project?

Send the current website, what you want changed and any deadline. I can then quote the work instead of guessing around it.
