How much does a website cost?
A refresh of an existing site starts at $600, a new build starts at $1,400, and a full suite with payments, booking, company email and a back end starts at $3,200. Connected apps are scoped and quoted individually. Every project is quoted flat before any work begins, so the number you agree to is the number you pay.
Do I own the website when it is finished?
Yes, all of it. The domain is registered in your name, hosting runs on your account, and the full source code is handed over at the end. You can take it to any other developer at any time. Nothing is held back as leverage.
When do I pay?
After you have seen it working. The site goes live on a staging link you can click through on your own devices before any payment is due. Most of the bad experiences people have had with web designers start with a deposit paid for something that never arrived.
How long does it take?
A refresh runs one to two weeks, a new build two to four, and a full suite four to eight. The date is agreed up front alongside the price. If scope changes mid-project, you approve the change before it happens.
Can you set up online payments?
Yes. Checkout is handled through Stripe or your existing provider using their hosted flow, which means card details never pass through your website. That keeps you out of PCI compliance scope entirely. It is included in the Full Suite and available as an add-on otherwise.
Can you connect a booking or scheduling system?
Yes, either integrated with whatever you already use or set up from scratch. The useful part is usually not the calendar itself but collecting the right information at the point of booking, so a request arrives complete instead of starting a phone conversation.
Do you do SEO?
The technical side is built into every project: page titles and meta, heading structure, schema markup, sitemaps, image optimization, page speed, and real pages for each service area rather than one page listing them. For a local business, Google Business Profile setup is included in a build, because for local search it often matters more than the site itself. Ongoing content and review work is available monthly.
Can you build the site in two languages?
Yes, and properly. That means parallel content trees with correct hreflang declarations so search engines serve the right version in each market, not a translate widget bolted onto an English site. Previous builds have shipped in English, Spanish and Japanese.
What is a connected app?
Anything beyond a website that your business actually runs on: a calculator or estimator, a customer portal, an order submission system, an integration with software you already use. These are scoped individually because the cost depends entirely on what the thing has to do.
Where are you based?
Jackson, Wyoming, working with clients anywhere. The work is remote by nature and the time zone has never been the hard part.
