Site Review
Starting at $150
A focused website review and practical website audit with notes on clarity, mobile experience, current details, customer paths, accessibility, SEO, performance, and the fixes that matter most.
Pricing
Priced by the work, not the label.
Pricing depends less on whether the site is new or existing, and more on what needs to be planned, written, organized, connected, and launched. Most projects start with a Site Review so there is a clear scope before any build begins — but straightforward starter sites and updates can often move directly to a quote.
Starter Site
Starting at $1,000
A custom starter website or focused rebuild for businesses that need the basics done clearly: a clean homepage, a few key sections or pages, mobile-friendly layout, contact path, and basic proof points.
Core Site
Starting at $1,750
A more complete small business site for new builds or rebuilds that need stronger structure, clearer writing, better customer paths, and a more finished presentation.
Full Site Project
Starting at $3,000+
For larger or more involved sites that need more pages, deeper content work, third-party links, email or domain help, redirects, multiple locations, or a more detailed launch.
Care plans are optional. If you only need occasional changes, we can handle updates one at a time.
Site Care
Optional from $75/month
For businesses that want the site kept current after launch with website maintenance, monthly website support, updates, checks, seasonal edits, SEO content refreshes, simple hosting support for small sites, Google Business Profile alignment, small fixes, and practical improvements.
OR
One-off Updates
From $75
For businesses that do not need a monthly plan but want help when something changes. Good for menu edits, new hours, service changes, photo swaps, small copy updates, broken links, simple page edits, or quick fixes that keep the site accurate without starting an ongoing care plan.
Scope
What moves the price up or down.
Two projects at the same starting point can land at different final prices. These are the factors that most often determine where a project sits within a range.
Pages and scope
How many pages and sections need to be planned, written, or rebuilt.
Content readiness
Whether copy, photos, menus, and service details are ready or need to be created.
Connections
Third-party links like booking systems, ordering platforms, email tools, or domain and hosting setup.
Launch details
Redirects, migrations, multi-location work, or anything that adds complexity around launch.
Common questions
What most people ask before getting a quote.
More detail on all services, platforms, SEO, and accessibility is on the full FAQ page.
How much does a website cost?
Most projects start with a site review, audits, or a clear project scope. As starting points, site reviews start at $150, starter sites at $1,000, core sites at $1,750, full site projects at $3,000+, optional care plans from $75 per month, and one-off updates from $75.
Do you write the content?
Yes. Clear wording is part of making the website useful. We can work from existing pages, notes, menus, service lists, photos, reviews, and customer questions.
Do you handle photos?
Yes. We can help choose, place, crop, resize, and organize photos so the site feels current and loads well. If new photography is needed, we can coordinate with your photographer or connect you with someone we have worked with before.
Can I update the site myself?
That can be part of the plan. Some owners want editing access, while others would rather send updates and have them handled.
Do you offer ongoing updates?
Yes. Site Care is our website maintenance option for text updates, photo swaps, menu or service changes, seasonal edits, SEO content refreshes, simple hosting support for small sites, small fixes, form and link checks, and steady improvements. We can also help keep Google Business Profile details aligned with the website.
How long does a project take?
Timing depends on the scope and how much content is ready. Smaller cleanups and starter sites can move quickly; larger projects need more planning and review.
What do you need from me to start?
Start with the website URL, what feels wrong, what has changed, and what people should be able to do next.
What if I do not know what is wrong with my site?
That is exactly what the Site Review is for. We look at the website from a customer point of view and identify what is creating friction.
How does payment work?
Projects are invoiced in two parts: 50% at the start and 50% on completion. Invoices are sent by email with a secure payment link — you can pay by card or bank transfer. Site reviews and one-off updates are invoiced in full when the work is scoped and agreed.
