01 / PACKAGES
Pick the smallest package that actually fits.
Most Gulf Coast service businesses need the Local Service package. A shop with one main service and one phone number is a Starter. Several trades or several locations is a Multi-Service build, and we list the exact pages before quoting it.
| Package | Build + care | All-in monthly | Best fit | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $900 build + $65/month care | $99/month 24-month minimum, no build fee | 1–3 pages, a focused service list and one main customer action: call, book or request a quote. |
|
| Local Service | $2,400 build + $85/month care | $159/month 24-month minimum, no build fee | About five pages for a service business: Home, Services, About, Gallery, Contact. The default for most trades. |
|
| Multi-Service / Multi-Location | $4,500 build + $125/month care | $249/month 24-month minimum, no build fee | Several service lines or locations that need their own pages and a path to the right person. |

Two ways to pay for the same website.
Build + care: pay the build once, then a monthly care fee that keeps the site hosted, backed up and current. All-in monthly: no build fee, one monthly amount for 24 months that includes the build and the care, with site ownership transferring to you at month 24. Same website either way. The monthly plan is not an interest-free split of the build price; it is a different arrangement with a longer commitment.
02 / CARE
Every build comes with care.
The build creates the site. Care keeps it hosted, maintained and current, and includes a monthly edit allowance so hours, prices and photos do not go stale.
- Hosting, domain and SSL certificate
- Weekly backups
- Software and dependency updates
- Uptime monitoring
- 30 minutes of content edits each month
- A quarterly Google Business Profile check
Larger changes are scoped separately, and work beyond the monthly allowance is $85 an hour, confirmed before it is billed. Monitoring tells us when the site is down; it is not a 24-hour support promise. Our hours are Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Central.
03 / ADD-ONS
Priced add-ons, when a verified problem calls for one.
| Add-on | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Extra page after launch | $250 | A simple page. Substantial research, copy or functionality is estimated separately. |
| Google Business Profile optimization | $250 | Improve the profile using verified facts and owner-authorized access. |
| Citation and listing cleanup | $350 | Correct agreed listings that show an inconsistent name, address or phone. |
| Review request program | $75/month | A process for asking customers for honest reviews. No review count is promised. |
| Edits beyond the care allowance | $85/hour | Confirmed with you before the work is billed. |
| Rush delivery under 7 days | +25% | When content, scope and schedule make it feasible. |
Local Service already includes local-search foundations: clear service content, accurate business facts, titles and descriptions and a crawlable structure. Profile optimization and listing cleanup are separate because they are separate work.
04 / SCOPED SEPARATELY
What is not inside a package price.
- Online stores and live inventory
- Custom booking systems and CRM synchronization
- Sensitive uploads or formal RFQ workflows
- Large content production or regulated content
- Advanced animation, 3D and custom interactive features like those in our demos
These are not automatically included at $4,500. If your project needs one, we price it as its own line so you can see what it costs and decide.
05 / IN WRITING
Set in the written proposal, not on this page.
- Deposit and payment schedule
- Number of review rounds
- Delivery milestones, set once content and access are confirmed
- Ownership transfer details, early exit and refund terms
- The month-25 care price on the monthly plan
We put exactly what transfers, when, and on what terms in writing before you commit. If a detail matters to your decision, ask for it in the proposal.
06 / QUESTIONS
Questions owners ask before the first call.
Is $159 a month the same as $2,400 plus $85?
No. Over 12 months, build + care for Local Service totals $3,420; the monthly plan totals $3,816 over its 24-month term. One has a larger payment up front and a smaller monthly fee; the other has no build fee and a longer commitment. Pick by cash flow, not by trying to make the totals match.
Do I own the website?
On build + care, the site is built for you and the ownership and source-file terms are stated in the agreement. On the all-in monthly plan, ownership transfers at month 24. Your domain stays in your name on either plan, and we never ask for passwords by email.
What happens after month 24 on the monthly plan?
The month-25 care price and terms are set in your agreement before you sign, so there is no surprise at the end of the term.
Can you fix my current site instead of building a new one?
Often, yes. We review the current pages, forms, mobile layout and search access first. Repairs and targeted improvements are quoted as their own scope; a full redesign is only recommended when the structure or platform keeps getting in the way.
Why not the $50-a-month builders?
A builder subscription can be the right answer for a very simple site you will maintain yourself. Compare what is included: the pages and features, who writes the content, who handles edits six months from now, ownership, and what happens when the form stops delivering. Our guide to choosing a web designer covers when to do it yourself.
Do you charge for the first conversation?
No. The first call or visit is how we work out the smallest package that fits, and whether we are the right fit at all.
Tell us what the website needs to do.
Share your business, your current site if you have one, and the action you want customers to take. We will recommend a package and put the scope, price and terms in writing.
Prices are our current working package prices and may change; the proposal you sign is the price you pay. Prices shown in US dollars.
