Web design pricing

Web design pricing, quoted to fit your business.

Every website is different, so every build gets a fixed price in writing after a short call. Once it launches, maintenance starting at $125/month keeps it updated, backed up and secure.

// What goes into the price

Why websites aren’t one price.

A website is built around how your business makes money, so the price follows what yours needs. These are the things that move it most.

How many pages

A focused five-page site and a fifty-page site with service and city pages are different jobs. Page count is the biggest single factor.

Custom design

Every site I build is designed for your business and your customers. More custom sections, animation and video add design time.

Copy and content

Whether you bring your own text and photos, or I write pages built around what your customers actually search for.

Booking or ecommerce

Online booking, payments, product catalogs and checkout add build and testing time.

Integrations

Forms, CRMs, email marketing, scheduling tools, reviews and anything else the site needs to talk to.

Moving an old site

Bringing over existing pages, posts and images, and redirecting old URLs so you keep the rankings you already have.

You get a fixed price in writing before anything starts. No hourly billing and no surprise invoices. If the scope changes, we talk about it before anything is billed. Weighing a cheaper quote? Read what you’re really paying for.

// After launch

Maintenance from $125/month keeps your site fast, safe and working.

A website isn’t finished the day it launches. WordPress, plugins and the threats aimed at them change every week, and an unmaintained site is the easiest one to break into.

Every website is a target, not just big companies. Automated bots probe millions of sites a day looking for an outdated plugin, a weak login or an unpatched form. Most WordPress security holes are in plugins and themes, so a site that isn’t updated is the easiest one to break into. Cleaning up a hacked site costs far more in time, money and lost rankings than keeping it maintained.

Starting at

$125/ month

Starts the month your site launches. Every site I build comes with it. Larger and ecommerce sites may cost more, and you get the exact number in writing.

Malware scanning and cleanup
Daily off-site backups
Uptime monitoring
Speed and database tune-ups
SSL and domain monitoring
Login and spam protection
Questions go straight to Drew

Already been hacked? Cleanup comes first as a one-time fix, priced by how severe the hack is. Once the site is clean, maintenance starts. Hacked site cleanup →

Threats never stop

Bots scan the web around the clock for sites running outdated plugins, often within hours of a security fix being released. Monthly updates close those holes before they find yours.

Malware caught early

Regular scans catch infections before Google flags your site as hacked or shows visitors a red warning screen.

Backups you can count on

Daily off-site backups mean a broken update or a hack is a quick restore, not a rebuild from scratch.

Downtime noticed first

Uptime monitoring alerts me when your site goes down, usually before your customers notice.

Rankings protected

Hacked, slow or broken sites lose Google rankings and map visibility fast, and earning them back takes months.

Your investment protected

The site you paid for keeps working as WordPress and plugins change underneath it, instead of slowly falling apart.

Forms and checkout keep working

Updates are checked so a plugin conflict doesn’t quietly break your contact form, booking or checkout.

Spam and break-in attempts blocked

No expired-certificate warnings

SSL and domain monitoring means no “Not secure” browser warnings and no lapsed domain.

Peace of mind

You run your business. I keep the website fast, safe and working, and you deal with the person who built it.

// Pricing questions

Web design pricing questions, answered.

Why don’t you list web design prices?

Because every business needs something different. A five-page site for a local service business and a fifty-page site with booking and city pages are different projects, and a single price would be wrong for most people. After a short call you get a fixed price in writing, before any work starts.

What affects the cost of a website?

Mostly the number of pages, how much custom design it needs, whether I write the content, booking or ecommerce features, integrations with tools you already use, and whether we are moving content and rankings over from an old site.

What does website maintenance include?

Maintenance starts at $125/month and covers WordPress, theme and plugin updates, malware scanning and cleanup, daily off-site backups, uptime monitoring, speed and database tune-ups, SSL and domain monitoring, login and spam protection, and a direct line to me with questions. Larger and ecommerce sites may cost more, and you get the exact price in writing.

Does every site come with maintenance?

Yes. Every site I build goes onto a maintenance plan, starting at $125/month, the month it launches. Bots are constantly looking for websites with outdated plugins and weak logins, and keeping the site updated, backed up and monitored is what protects the investment you just made. If you are on a Local SEO package, maintenance is already included.

What if my site has already been hacked?

Then cleanup comes first. Removing the malware, closing the hole it came in through, and getting any Google warnings lifted is a one-time project, priced by how severe the hack is. Once the site is clean and secured, it moves onto maintenance, starting at $125/month.

Is SEO included in a new website?

Every build includes the on-page SEO foundation: titles, descriptions, headings, clean URLs, schema, speed work and Google Search Console. Ongoing Local SEO, where I publish new content and grow your Google Business Profile every month, is a separate monthly package.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes. Sites are built on WordPress, so your team can update text, photos and simple pages, and I walk you through it at launch. Anything bigger, I am a call or text away.

Do you redesign existing websites?

Yes. I redesign sites and move over existing pages, posts and images, with redirects from the old URLs so you keep the rankings you have already earned.
