What $249 actually buys
Most quotes you get for a small business website come with a long proposal and a vague number at the end. Here is ours, stated plainly. Two hundred and forty nine dollars gets you a three page website, written and built, pointed at your domain, and handed over working.
That covers the pages almost every small business actually needs: a home page that says what you do and who you do it for, a page about your services or your work, and a contact page that gets the phone to ring. We write the copy, build the layout, set up the contact form so submissions reach your inbox, and get the thing live.
- Three pages, written and built, not a template you fill in yourself
- Works properly on a phone, which is where most of your visitors will be
- A contact form that sends to an inbox you control, with spam filtering on it
- Page titles, descriptions, and a sitemap so Google can actually read the site
- Your domain pointed at it and the certificate set up, so the browser shows it as secure
- The files are yours. If you ever want to move, you take them and go
What it does not include is a monthly platform fee. A lot of cheap websites are cheap because you rent them forever. Stop paying and the site disappears. Ours is a build, not a lease. Hosting runs thirty five dollars a year if you want us to handle it, and you are free to host it anywhere else instead.
Why three pages is usually enough
Business owners often come to us asking for eight or ten pages, because that is what the competition has. Then we look at the competition and find that six of those pages get almost no traffic and exist because somebody sold them a package.
A visitor deciding whether to call you is answering three questions. Do they do the thing I need. Can I trust them. How do I reach them. Three pages answer all three. Everything beyond that is either a service page that earns its own traffic or a page nobody reads.
The exception is worth naming, because it is real. If you serve several distinct towns, or you do several genuinely different jobs that people search for separately, separate pages for each one will bring you traffic a single page cannot. That is not padding, that is how search works. We point that out when your situation calls for it, and we point it out when it does not.
What actually makes a small business site work
Design gets most of the attention and deserves less of it. The sites that bring in work tend to get a handful of unglamorous things right.
It loads before they leave
People on a phone, on cell service, standing in a parking lot. A heavy page loses them before it finishes drawing. We build light on purpose.
The phone number is obvious
Tappable, near the top, and repeated at the bottom. You would be surprised how many sites bury it in a footer three scrolls down.
It says what you do in plain words
Not "solutions for the modern homeowner." What you fix, who you fix it for, and where. Clarity converts better than cleverness.
There is a reason to trust you
Real photos of real work, a license number, how long you have been doing it. Something that separates you from a stock photo and a logo.
If your current site has all four and still is not producing, the problem is usually further up the funnel. Our guide on why a website is not getting calls walks through where it tends to break.
How the build runs
Short and unceremonious. Most builds are done inside a week or two, and the slow part is almost always waiting on photos and copy approvals rather than anything on our end.
You tell us about the business. What you do, who hires you, what you want the site to accomplish. Fifteen minutes of writing from you saves a week of back and forth.
We quote it. A real number, in writing, before anything starts. If your scope is bigger than three pages we say so then, not after.
We build and send you a preview. You see the whole thing on a private link before anyone else does. You mark up what you want changed.
We revise, then launch. Domain pointed, certificate on, form tested with a live submission so we know it reaches you. Then it is yours.
A word on templates
We get asked whether we use templates, usually by somebody who has been burned. The honest answer is that we reuse structure and we do not reuse content. The underlying layout of a service page is a solved problem and pretending otherwise would be a waste of your money. What we do not do is hand you the same four paragraphs with your business name swapped in, which is what most cheap sites actually are once you look.
The easy way to check anybody, including us, is to look at two of their recent client sites side by side and read the words rather than looking at the design. If the sentences are interchangeable, you are buying a template no matter what they call it.
What costs more, and why
Better you hear this now than find it on an invoice. The things that genuinely add cost to a small business website are:
- More pages. Extra service pages, location pages, or a real portfolio section. Each one is written, not duplicated.
- Taking payment. Any kind of checkout, booking, or scheduling adds a system that has to be set up and tested properly.
- A product catalog. A store is a different animal from a brochure site and gets quoted as one.
- Anything with a login. Customer accounts, portals, dashboards. These need a backend and ongoing maintenance.
- Ongoing content. If you want the site to keep earning search traffic, that is copywriting, priced separately per piece.
If you are trying to work out whether a quote you got elsewhere is fair, our guide on what a small business website should cost breaks down where the real price differences come from.
Home, services, contact. Copy written, form working, domain pointed, handed over yours to keep.
Fast hosting on a global network, set up and left running. Optional. Host it elsewhere if you prefer.
More pages, checkout, booking, or a store. Priced before work starts, never after.
Things people ask before they hire us
How long does a three page website take?
Most builds are finished inside one to two weeks. The slow part is usually waiting on photos and copy approvals from your side rather than the build itself. If you have a hard deadline, tell us before we start and you will get a straight yes or no.
Do I own the website when it is finished?
Yes. The files are yours. There is no platform subscription holding the site hostage, and if you ever want to move it to a different host you can take it and go. That is deliberate, because a site you rent forever is not really yours.
Can you work with my existing domain?
Yes, and that is the normal case. We point your existing domain at the new site and set up the security certificate. If your email runs on that domain we work around it carefully, because a careless DNS change is the fastest way to break a business inbox.
Do you guarantee I will rank on Google?
No, and anyone who does is either guessing or lying. We build the site so Google can read it properly and we can tell you what tends to move rankings, but nobody controls the results page. Being straight with you costs us a few sales. It beats selling a promise we cannot keep.
Tell us what you need and we will price it
Send over what your business does and roughly what you want the site to accomplish. We will come back with a real number, usually the same day.
