Pricing

Website design pricing in plain numbers.

Websites start at $500. Care plans start at $97/mo. Packages that add SEO, ads and follow-up start at $300/mo. You see your site before you pay, and nothing locks you into a long-term contract.

Start with a website and a care plan.

This is how every client starts. Marketing can stack on top later, once the site is live and doing its job.

01The website

Websites start at

$500one-time build

A custom-coded site for a local business, usually five pages: home, services or menu, about, contact, and hours and location. It’s designed around what your customers come to do: book a chair, read the menu or call for a quote.

Larger sites, online stores and multi-location builds are scoped on a short call.

02The care plan

Care plans start at

$97/mo

Hosting, security, updates, monitoring and on-site local SEO (page titles, descriptions and town pages), plus two content edits every month. New hours, a price change, a fresh photo: send it by text or email and we make the change.

Two content edits a month are included. Extra edits are $30 each.

What $500 gets a local business.

The starting price is a whole, working website, not a deposit on one. Here’s what’s in every build.
See the five live sites
  1. A design that’s yours

    Laid out around your business and your customers, with no page builder underneath.

  2. Built for the phone first

    Big tap targets, a phone number you can tap, and pages that load fast on cellular. Then it scales up for desktop.

  3. The words, drafted for you

    We write the first draft from what already exists about your business and one short conversation. You correct what we got wrong.

All nine, in full
  1. Your real photos

    Sized so they stay sharp without slowing the page. No photos yet? We’ll tell you what to shoot on your phone.

  2. Calls, texts and a form

    Tap-to-call, a text option if you want one, and a contact form that sends every lead straight to you.

  3. Search foundations

    Page titles and descriptions, a sitemap, and structured data for your hours, location and services.

  4. Launch on your domain

    We connect your domain or help you register one, switch on the security certificate and leave your email working.

  5. Redirects from an old site

    Replacing a site? Every old page address is redirected, so Google can pass along what those pages earned.

  6. What stays yours

    Your domain name and your content, meaning your photos, your text and your logo, are always yours.

Packages that stack on top of the site.

Once the site is working, these add the marketing. Each one includes everything in the package before it. Prices are where each starts; we set yours with you on a short call.
Starterfrom $300/moFor a business that wants to show up on the map and stop losing leads.

Includes

Growthfrom $1,000/moFor a business ready to pay for more calls from Google search.

Everything in Starter, plus

Scalefrom $3,000/moFor a business that wants its marketing handled month to month.

Everything in Growth, plus

Customfrom $5,000/moFor a business that needs software, not just marketing.

Includes

Ad spend is separate. You pay Google or Meta directly from your own ad account, and we never mark it up. Facebook and Instagram campaigns are scoped into Growth or Scale.

Custom software starts at

$5,000per project

Just need software built?

Customer portals, quote tools, dashboards and integrations, built around how your business runs. The price is set in writing after a short discovery call, before any code is written.

What changes the number.

More pages
Every service page, city page or menu section is real work. You get the number before we start.
Stores, bookings and custom features
Checkout, member areas or anything built from scratch is scoped in writing first.
More than one location
Each location needs its own page, hours and details, so it’s priced per location.
Connecting other systems
A booking or ordering link is simple. Syncing two systems is quoted as its own project.

What you’re not paying for.

  • An account manager between you and the person building your site
  • A page-builder subscription
  • A long-term contract
  • A markup on your ad spend
  • A website you haven’t seen yet

Straight answers on cost.

How much does a website cost for a small business?

With us, a local business site of about five pages starts at $500, paid once. The number moves with scope: more pages, an online store, several locations or custom features. You get the price before any work past the free preview begins. Our Minnesota website cost guide compares what DIY builders, freelancers and local studios publish.

Why do you start at $500 when other studios charge thousands?

Because the process is tight. The person you talk to is the person who builds your site, there’s no committee and no hand-off, and we’ve built enough local business sites to know what one needs. The care plan is where the relationship continues, so the build doesn’t have to carry everything.

When do I pay, and how much?

Not before you’ve seen your site. We build a preview of your homepage on your real business, free. If you love it, you pay half to finish the build and the other half at launch. If it isn’t for you, you owe nothing. See how a build runs.

What does the care plan cost after launch?

Care plans start at $97/mo for hosting, security, updates, monitoring and two content edits every month, with extra edits at $30 each. You’re never locked in: the plan renews month to month, and 30 days’ written notice ends it.

How are the monthly packages priced?

The prices on this page are where each package starts. Your number depends on your market, how many towns you want to reach and how much of the work you want us to take on. We set it together on a short call, before anything starts.

Is ad spend included in the packages?

No. The package covers our work, and the ad budget is separate. You pay Google or Meta directly from your own ad account, so you can see every dollar, and we never mark it up. We’ll suggest a starting budget on the call.

Can I start with just the website?

Yes. That’s where every client starts. A website and a care plan are the front door, and SEO, ads and follow-up stack on top once the site is live and doing its job. Add them when you’re ready, not before.

What isn’t included in the starting price?

Photography, online stores, extra locations and custom features are scoped separately, and so is ongoing marketing like Google Business Profile work, ads and social media. On-site local SEO comes with the care plan. If something would add to the price, you hear about it before we do it, never on the invoice.

See your site before you pay.

Tell us about your business and we build a preview of your homepage, free. You review it on your phone. Love it, and we finish the build. Not for you, and you owe nothing.
