How much does a custom website cost?
Custom website builds start at $3,500. Monthly care is separate: Managed Website is $150 per month, or Website + Monthly Media is $450 per month total. The $450 plan includes website care and one on-location media session of up to one hour each month. I confirm the build scope and ongoing deliverables in your proposal.
What happens after I get in touch?
I review your business and what you have today, then discuss the right scope with you. Sending an inquiry does not book a project or take a payment. Once the scope is agreed, payment is 50% to book and 50% before launch.
How long does a website take?
Custom website timelines are agreed per project. I confirm the schedule after reviewing the page scope, media needs, and connected tools. You receive a clear sequence for direction, review, and launch before the build starts.
What does monthly care cover?
The $150 monthly plan covers managed hosting, monitoring, security, routine maintenance, and agreed content updates. The $450 monthly plan adds one on-location media session of up to one hour each month and selected media updates to the website. Your proposal defines the update allowance and media deliverables. New pages, larger additions, and work outside that scope are quoted separately.
Which costs should I check before booking?
Review when care billing begins, the content-update allowance, and which services you will pay for directly. Ask whether domain renewals, business email, booking tools, and paid licenses are included or billed separately. Photography, video, complex integrations, and larger productions need an agreed scope; the website price does not automatically include them.
Is local search setup included?
Yes. The website engagement includes accurate business and service information, page titles and descriptions, a sitemap, structured business information, and crawlability checks. I also connect Search Console and submit the sitemap when you provide the access needed to verify ownership. See the included search setup. Ongoing SEO campaigns and Google Business Profile management are separate scopes.
Who owns the website?
You own the domain and the code specified in your project agreement. Review what code and files are included, when account access is handed over, and any third-party licenses before you book. I manage the hosting and care under the agreed scope.
What if I end care or move the website?
Your agreement should explain the notice period, any remaining commitments, the billing cutoff, and any cancellation or refund terms. Before a move, confirm who handles domain and account access, code delivery, and hosting migration, including any fees. Review these details while choosing the project, not only when you are ready to leave.
What do I need to provide?
I guide you through the business details, existing brand material, and account access needed for launch. Copy for the agreed pages is included. I can plan original photography and short video with you, so gathering the right material becomes part of the process.
Do I need the workflow work too?
No. You can start with the website alone. If something behind the site keeps landing on you, I can scope that separately, and only if it is worth doing.
What is the free workflow review?
A short first look at where inquiries, follow-up, scheduling, or website updates get stuck. You tell me what keeps getting dropped or delayed, I read it, and then we talk for 20 minutes. You get a plain recommendation for the next step, which may be a website, a connected workflow, or nothing. Start with a free workflow review.
