Calculator FAQ

The range covers about 90% of projects we quote. Final price depends on design complexity, copy you bring vs. copy we write, and any oddball integrations. We'll match the lower end of this range or beat it once we see your specific scope.

Custom design, mobile-responsive build, contact form, basic SEO, SSL, deployment, and the source code handed over. Hosting is the optional $15/month line. Stock photos and copy editing are included; brand-new logo design and original photography are quoted separately.

Starter sites (1–5 pages, no logins): 1–2 weeks. Custom websites with CMS, e-commerce, or accounts: 2–4 weeks. Web apps: 4–8 weeks. We ship a working staging link weekly so you see progress from day one.

Yes. Source code, design files, and deployment docs go to you at launch. Cancel hosting anytime, take everything, host it elsewhere. We'd rather earn the $15/month than lock you in.

One round of revisions is included on every starter and custom site. Extra rounds are billed at $85/hour. Most clients use the included round and stop there.
