04 / DISCOVER

Scoped for the business. Priced in the open.

A focused custom site starts at $1,200–$1,800. That is a lean build, not a template and not a stripped-down look. Most projects cost more once the page count and the content are real.

You still get a written proposal before any build:

Deliverables

Timeline

The investment

Care after launch is $35–$150 a month, based on the size of the site. Anything bigger than updates is an add-on, quoted on its own.

Most projects run 4–8 weeks depending on scope.

What clients value

A law firm homepage, explored

A layout study for a small practice. Not a client. Not a real firm. Older mockups included placeholder stats and a fake phone number. Those are gone. Questions

06 / DISCOVER

Straightforward answers.

No. We work with small businesses across many industries — consultants, home service companies, wellness practices, creative brands, and more. Law firms are one type of client among many.

Most projects take 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch. A Starter site is often 3–4 weeks. Plus, the usual fit, is often 5–7. Premium can run 8–10. The proposal names the window for that project.

No. Every site is custom-designed and built for your business. We may use proven patterns and components, but the result is original — not a theme with your logo dropped in.

Absolutely. Many of our projects are redesigns. We will audit what you have, keep what is working, and rebuild the rest with clearer structure and a more refined visual direction.

Yes. We assist with structure, drafting, and editing — then work with you to make sure the tone sounds like your business, not a generic brochure.

Yes. We include post-launch support with every project, and optional website care plans are available for businesses that want a steady partner for updates and improvements.

Share a few details about your business and goals. We will reply with a scoped proposal outlining deliverables, timeline, and investment — so you can decide with clarity, not guesswork.
