How much does a website cost?+
$500 gets it set up and standing: your home page plus everything a real business site needs. Each core page after that (services, our work, reviews, about, and so on) is $50, and we write it for you, so a home page plus four core pages is $700. Features are priced on their own, mostly $50 to $100: online booking, a quote request with photos, a deposit button, QR codes for your truck. Your site in Spanish is free. Hosting, your domain, and email at your domain are separate and up to you: set them up yourself for nothing extra, or we'll do it: $100 to set up hosting in your name (or $30 a month if we host it), $100 to register or move your domain, and $100 to set up email at your domain. Those are our fees for the work; the hosting, the domain, and any mailbox are paid to the companies that provide them, in your name. Anything bigger, like logins, an online store, or your own scheduling system, gets a free estimate, and we tell you up front what it needs. Check the boxes on the website card and you'll see the whole price before you ever talk to us.
Do you do SEO?+
Every site is built so Google can read it: each page gets a proper title and description, plus your business details in the format Google reads. Connecting it to Google (its free tools for site owners, your sitemap, and your map location) is the $500 "Get found on Google" feature, with us walking you through Google's sign-ups and verification. We don't sell monthly SEO packages or promise rankings; nobody honest can. If you want more SEO work later, tell us what you're after and you'll get a price first.
Why not just make my own site with an AI builder?+
You might be able to. If you're comfortable with it and you have the afternoon, try one. Where people get stuck is everything around the page: the domain, email that keeps working, a contact form that actually reaches you, Google knowing you exist, and someone to call when it breaks. That's the part we do. If you've already built something and it's stuck, send us the link. We'll tell you what it needs, or that it's fine as it is.
I built my site with an AI tool and it's stuck. Will you work on it?+
Yes. Send us the link and access, and we'll tell you what it needs and what that costs, or that it's fine as it is. An unstick session is $150 for an hour. Finishing it (the domain and email, forms that arrive, sign-in, payments, and moving it into your name) starts at $500. A check before real customers use it is $750. If fixing it would cost more than starting over, we'll say so before you spend anything.
Do you charge for the estimate?+
No — the estimate is free and there's no obligation, including the "I have no idea what I need" version of it. The one thing we charge for up front is a diagnostic on an existing site or app: $100 for a full written report of what's wrong and how to fix each thing. Fix it yourself, take it to anyone, or have us give you an estimate to fix it.
Is $500 really all of it?+
$500 is the website — the thing we build. It isn't the whole cost of being online, and we'd rather say so on the price than in an invoice. The site has to live somewhere (~$20–30 a month, depending on the host), you need a domain (~$10–20 a year in your name, more if the name you want is already owned by somebody waiting to flip it), and if you want email at that domain it's free to forward or a few dollars a month for a real mailbox. SSL is free. Add it up and an ordinary one-page site is $500 once, plus $100 for each piece you'd like us to set up, and roughly $20–30 a month to keep alive. If you already have hosting and a domain, it's $500 and nothing else. Everything except our fees is paid directly to the company providing it, in your name, so you can fire us and keep all of it.
Do I have to pay for SSL, or the padlock?+
Not on hosting we set up. SSL is free there and renews itself, and if anyone is charging you a yearly fee for a certificate on modern hosting, that's padding. The exception is real: some older hosts and registrars still sell certificates and make somebody reinstall them by hand every year. If you're staying on a host like that, keeping the padlock alive is actual work and we'll quote it — but ask us first, because the usual answer is that moving the site somewhere sane costs less than the certificate did.
Can I get email at my own domain, like don@mybusiness.com?+
Yes, and it's the thing people forget to budget for. Three ways to do it. Keep what you've got, including a free personal address, and change nothing — no charge. Or forward you@yourbusiness.com into the inbox you already check, with replies going out from the business address: $100 once to set up, and the forwarding itself is free, which is what we'd suggest for most one- and two-person shops. Or a real mailbox with an email provider: $100 once to set up, then their monthly rate per mailbox, billed by them, usually free to a few dollars a mailbox depending on the provider. We'll help you pick the one that fits how you work.
I heard hosting can be free. Why pay for it?+
Free hosting is real. For a plain page with no form, some free tiers work fine. What you trade away: contact forms, logins, and photo uploads need a server to actually run something, and that's where free plans get tight or stop; there's nobody to call; and when it breaks on a Saturday it's your problem. Some hosts' free plans also aren't allowed for business sites at all. If you'd rather run it on a free tier anyway, say so — we'll build to it, point you at the right one, and tell you plainly what you're giving up. We make nothing on hosting if you own the account, which is exactly why we recommend that option first.
Do I need to write the pages and take the photos?+
The words, no: we write every page for you from a short call or your notes, and each page comes with one revision round to make it sound like you. The photos are the one part we can't invent, and along with access to your domain they're the biggest reason a website takes weeks instead of days. If you have them, send them and we're fast. If you don't, good stock photos are free and we'll tell you which ones are worth using, and if you don't have a logo, a simple one comes free with your website. Tell us in the estimate what you're missing; you'll know the price and the launch date before you pay anything.
I already have a website, hosting, or a domain. Can you work with it?+
Yes, and it's usually cheaper for you that way. If you have a domain and hosting you're happy with, we'll build to it. If you've lost access or aren't sure who's holding it, untangling that is part of the job — we've done it plenty of times.
Am I signing up for a monthly fee?+
Only if you want hosting handled for you, and it's optional either way. A website is $30 a month. A site that keeps a database (edit-it-yourself pages, logins, customer accounts) is $95, because a database, file storage, and notification email cost money every month and we'd rather show you that than bury it. No contract on either — cancel whenever and we move everything into your name. Everything else we do is one-time. What the monthly covers is keeping things online, secure, backed up, and monitored, and fixing it if it breaks; it does not cover new pages, new features, or a redesign, and your domain and any mailbox stay paid by you directly. The option we recommend most is the other one: $100 once to set up hosting in your own name, you pay the host directly (~$20–30 a month, depending on the one you pick), and you're free of us entirely.
Can I start small and add to it later?+
Yes, and plenty of people should. Start with setup & standup for $500 (your home page and everything a real site needs) and add core pages or features later at the same prices. Bigger work gets scoped in stages with a fixed price on each one; you approve a stage before it starts, and you can stop the moment it's good enough. Nothing gets built that you haven't said yes to, and starting small doesn't box you in later.
Who owns everything when we're done?+
You do: the code, the domain, and the analytics, in your name. The hosting account is yours too, unless you pick managed hosting; then it sits in our account until you ask for it, and we move everything into your name. If you ever want to move to someone else, you take the whole thing with you and nothing breaks.
Am I too small for you?+
No. A one-truck operation that needs a site people can call from is a completely normal job, and usually a fast one. We'd rather build you the $500 thing that works than sell you a $15,000 thing you don't need.
How long does it take?+
It depends mostly on how soon we have your text, photos, and access to your domain. Work is booked in the order it comes in, and the estimate gives you the start and launch dates before you pay anything. Moving off a website builder works the same way, sized by your current site. A domain transfer takes about a week on its own. Add-ons and diagnostics typically take up to 3 business days.
What if I don't know what I need yet?+
That's most people, and it's fine. Pick the closest option in the form, write a sentence about what's frustrating you, and send it. We'll come back with what we think the right shape is — including telling you if you don't need to spend money at all.
Where are you based, and do you work remotely?+
Collinsville, Oklahoma, just outside Tulsa. Local means we can come see how you actually run the business, which makes for a better site. We also work remotely with clients anywhere in the country, so distance isn't a problem either way.
