The homepage lists four numbers: two monthly plans and two one-time builds. What it cannot fit is what those numbers actually buy, what the terms behind them mean, and which one is likely to suit your business. That is what this page is for.
Two different things, not two prices for the same thing
A monthly plan and a one-time build are not the same website sold on different payment schedules. They are two different arrangements for who owns and maintains the site over time, and the right choice depends on how you want that relationship to work, not just on cash flow. Within each arrangement there are two tiers, Standard and Corporate, and those differ mainly in how much site you need, not in how the arrangement works.
The two monthly tiers: Standard and Corporate
Both monthly tiers carry the same structure — hosting, unlimited edits, support, and a six-month minimum — and differ in site size and how much SEO work goes in up front. Standard, at $150/month, is a 5-page custom website with on-page SEO and 24/7 support. Corporate, at $275/month, is a 6–10 page custom website with an enhanced SEO strategy and priority 24/7 support. The jump from Standard to Corporate buys more pages and more SEO attention, not a different kind of relationship.
Both tiers include the site build itself, hosting, your domain, the SEO work named above, and unlimited edits, with support if something breaks. You are not paying the monthly fee and then getting a separate bill for hosting or a domain renewal later — those are part of the plan, not add-ons, on either tier.
"Unlimited edits" means what it sounds like for the normal run of a small business site: updating a service, swapping a photo, adding a staff member, fixing a typo, changing a price. It does not mean an unlimited amount of net-new design and development work with no bound at all — a request to add a completely new section, a booking system, or a second language version is a scope change, not an edit, and I will tell you when something crosses that line before I start on it rather than after. That holds the same way on Standard and Corporate.
Both tiers carry a six-month minimum. The reason is straightforward: a website takes real time to build up front — design, content, structuring the pages so search engines and visitors can both make sense of them — and a plan priced monthly only makes sense for me if that build cost is spread across more than a month or two. Six months is the point where that math works for both sides, whether the build is 5 pages or 10.
After the six-month minimum, the plan continues month to month on either tier. There is no separate renewal fee and no step up in price at that point — you simply keep paying the monthly rate for as long as you want the plan to continue, and you can end it whenever you like after the minimum is up. If you cancel, the specifics of what happens to the site and the domain depend on the setup at the time, which is exactly the kind of question worth asking directly before you sign up rather than guessing at here — ask me and I will give you a straight answer.
Because the site is part of an ongoing plan, I own and manage the hosting and the build while you are on it, on both tiers. That is what makes unlimited edits and included hosting possible — I am maintaining infrastructure I control, not troubleshooting a stranger's server.
The two one-time tiers: Standard and Corporate, and what neither includes
The one-time tiers follow the same pattern as the monthly ones: more page count and more SEO and support depth as you move from Standard to Corporate, with the ownership arrangement unchanged between them. Standard, at $2,750, gets you a 5-page custom website with on-page SEO, mobile-responsive design, an A+ PageSpeed score, and full ownership. Corporate, at $4,750, gets you a 10+ page hand-coded site with an enhanced SEO strategy, blog integration, priority support, and full ownership. There is no monthly fee and no minimum term on either one-time tier, and nothing more is owed once the project is delivered.
What neither one-time tier includes is everything the monthly plans bundle in ongoing: hosting is not included, the domain is not included, and edits after launch are not included, on Standard or Corporate. You will need to arrange your own hosting and register or transfer your own domain, and if you want something changed after the site ships, that is a separate request rather than a standing part of the arrangement. None of that is a hidden cost — it is simply work the monthly plans are doing for you that the one-time builds are not, because you are choosing to hold it yourself instead.
Ownership is the real difference between the two models. With either one-time build, the site is yours outright the moment it is delivered — no ongoing payment keeps it running, and no ongoing relationship with me is required for it to keep existing. That independence is the whole point of paying more up front, whether you choose Standard or Corporate.
Which model, and which tier, actually fits your business
If you would rather pay once, hold the keys yourself, and only think about the website again when you decide to change it, a one-time build is the right choice for you, plainly. You are trading a lower total cost and full independence for taking on hosting, domain renewal, and future edits yourself, whether that means learning to make small changes or hiring someone when you need one made.
If you would rather never touch any of that — no hosting renewal to remember, no separate invoice when you need a page updated, one flat monthly payment that covers the site staying online and current — a monthly plan is the better fit, and the six-month minimum is a small commitment against that convenience.
Neither model is the option I would rather sell you; they suit different businesses, and I would rather you land on the right one than the more expensive one. The same is true one level down, between Standard and Corporate. If five pages covers what you actually sell — a single service, one location, a short list of what you do — Standard is enough, and paying for Corporate's extra pages and enhanced SEO strategy is overspending on capacity you will not use. Corporate earns its price when you genuinely have more to say: several service lines, multiple locations, a team big enough to introduce, or a blog you intend to keep feeding. Sizing the tier to the business you actually run, not the one you might have someday, is the same logic as choosing monthly over one-time: land on the right fit, not the bigger number.
Questions the numbers above cannot answer
Two people can ask for the same page count and need very different amounts of work depending on existing content, e-commerce needs, or how much custom design goes into it — so a firm number beyond the four starting prices above depends on your specific project. That also covers anything not named on this page: what a plan costs to renew past its published rate, what happens to a domain after cancellation, or whether a rate can be discounted are not figures I am prepared to state in the abstract, because they genuinely depend on the specifics of your setup. If you are weighing a larger site, an online store, or anything outside a standard build, the honest answer is that it depends on scope, and the fastest way to get a real number is to tell me about the project. The first conversation is free and I will give you a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
