Agencies charge $5,000–$15,000 for the same work. Fiverr gigs go for $100–$500 — and look like it. Wix and Squarespace lock you into a monthly subscription you never own. A custom-built site starts at $1,200, loads faster, ranks better, and the code is yours. See the full comparison →

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Once your website is built and paid for, the code and all content are yours — the PHP source files, CSS, images, and any other assets. These are custom-built files, not a WordPress or template install. If there's a database involved, you get a full SQL export. If you ever want to move to a different host, everything you need to run the site elsewhere is handed over.
DIY builders are fine if you just need something online fast and don't mind a template. The tradeoffs: you're renting their platform (not owning anything), your design flexibility is limited, and builder-generated code loads slower than hand-written code. A custom site is built from scratch to match your business — and you own the files outright, so you can take them anywhere.
Get in touch anyway. A single-page site starting at $1,200 is already lean — a contact form, your services, and your brand. If your budget is tighter than that, it's worth a conversation. I don't do spec work — I won't design pages or build mockups before a project is scoped and agreed on — but I can usually find a scope that works for a realistic budget.
Every project gets a written scope and fixed price before work starts. Hosting plans are flat monthly rates — no surprise charges. If something comes up that changes the scope, you'll hear about it before any extra work begins, and you decide whether to proceed. Nothing gets added to your bill without your explicit approval.
No. Projects are split 50/50 — 50% deposit before work starts, 50% due at launch. Nothing gets built until the deposit is confirmed, and nothing goes live until the final payment clears.

Not sure where to start?

Is this right for me?

I need a website

A single-page site ($1,200) works well for service businesses, freelancers, and anyone who needs a clean home base online with a contact form. A multi-page site ($2,800) is right if you have multiple services, a team, or distinct content sections that need their own pages.

I need hosting

Core ($30/mo) is for sites that just need to stay live — uptime monitoring, nightly backups, and SSL handled. Care ($50/mo) adds 1 hour of content edits per month, security patches applied, and priority support — the sweet spot for most clients. Priority ($75/mo) is for businesses that want 3 hours of edits, same-day critical response, monthly analytics reports, and staging environment access.
