WHAT I BUILD · WHAT IT COSTS

Four services,
flat
fees.

Written down before any work starts. The price is the price for the work. It doesn't move up if you mention you can afford more, and it doesn't move down by cutting corners you'd notice.

· SERVICE 01 / FROM SCRATCH

A new site,
from scratch.

For businesses with nothing yet, or with a site past saving. We open with a 45-minute call where I ask about your customers, your busiest months, your competition, and the calls you wish you were getting.

Then I write the site. Words first, design second. Two rounds of revisions before launch. By the time you see a design, the copy is already locked, which is the opposite of how most agencies do it and is one of the reasons these sites actually convert.

What's included
  • Four to seven pages, written from a 45-minute kickoff call
  • Hosting on Cloudflare, SSL, contact form, tap-to-call
  • Local SEO setup with schema and service-area pages
  • Google Business Profile reviewed and optimized
  • Analytics dashboard at one URL, no login
  • Accessibility audit before launch
  • 30 days of post-launch support
Timeline
3 weeks
Kickoff to live
Price
$4,500 –$7,500
Flat. Written down first.
Deposit

50% before I start writing. 50% before the site goes live. No milestone games, no surprise scope fees.

Your current site has bones. Photos. Copy that mostly works. A few years of reviews and a page structure clients already recognize. It just looks and runs like 2018.

· SERVICE 02 / REFRESH

A refresh of
what you have.

Timeline
2–3 weeks
Most of the writing is done
Price
$3,500 –$6,000
Less than a new build
Includes

Everything in the from-scratch build, minus the writing time we don't need. 30-day post-launch support included.

I keep what's working. Rewrite what isn't. Rebuild the chassis underneath. The visual language moves forward without throwing away the SEO you've spent years earning.

This is what Loftin Law Group and Armor Title both got. Usually cheaper than a from-scratch build because most of the content's already there.

What stays, what goes
  • Stays: working copy, established URLs, photos worth keeping
  • Stays: any rankings the old site has earned
  • Goes: 2018 visual design, slow template, broken plugins
  • Goes: anything that doesn't work on a phone
· SERVICE 03 / CARE $40/MO · MONTH-TO-MONTH · CANCEL ANYTIME
· SERVICE 03 / CARE

Ongoing
care.

Sites that nobody watches drift. Loading slows down. Plugins fall out of date. Forms quietly stop sending emails for three months before anyone notices.

Care covers all of that, plus a quarterly check-in where I send a one-page report and we decide whether anything needs changing. Most months you won't hear from me. That's the point.

What care covers
  • Hosting on Cloudflare — fastest option in this region
  • Daily backups, SSL, security patches
  • Up to one hour of content edits each month
  • Quarterly performance and SEO review
  • I watch the form actually send. You don't have to.
Price
$40 /mo
Month-to-month
Cancel anytime

No tiers, no upsells, no annual lock-in. If you cancel I hand you the site files and a list of hosts that can take it from here.

· SERVICE 04 / ONE-OFF

One-off
help.

The site is slow. The form isn't sending emails. Google says it's not mobile-friendly. Your old developer went dark and you can't get into your own domain.

Send a sentence describing what's broken. I'll usually be able to tell you on the phone whether it's an hour of work or three. Most of these end up being an hour or two.

I don't take on one-offs from businesses I haven't talked to before unless someone I trust referred you. The math on a $250 invoice doesn't work otherwise.

Rate
$125 /hr
One-hour minimum
How it works

You describe the problem. I quote a max number of hours. If it takes less, I bill less. If it takes more, that's on me.

· SECTOR 05 / OUT OF SCOPE REFERRED OUT · NO COMMISSION

What I won't
take on.

If a project doesn't fit, I'll tell you the same day and point you somewhere good. A few common ones I send elsewhere.

NOT IT / 01 · REFER OUT

Ad management

Google or Facebook ad campaigns aren't what I do. I'll point you to someone who runs them well and won't oversell.

NOT IT / 02 · REFER OUT

Logos and branding

I'll work with the brand you have. If you need one made from scratch, I have a short list of designers I trust.

NOT IT / 03 · REFER OUT

Stores and apps

Shopify stores, mobile apps, custom booking platforms. None of those are this studio. I know who builds the good ones in this region.

NOT IT / 04 · DIY OK

Sub-$1,500 sites

If someone's quoted you $1,200 for a five-page site, take it. Some businesses don't need what I build. That's a real answer, not a sales tactic.
