one-time – build fee

The cost depends on the level of build — number of pages, custom features, e-commerce, integrations. We discuss and negotiate it with you up front, so the invoice is the number we agreed on.

common questions
Things folks ask before signing on.
What's the minimum commitment?
Month-to-month, after launch. We’d rather earn the renewal than lock you in.
What if I outgrow my tier?
We bump you up. Same site, same shop, just a different line on the invoice when your page count grows.
Do I own my site?
Yes — fully. The code, the content, the domain. If you ever leave, you take it with you.
What does the build fee cover?
Design and build of the site itself — discovery, mockups, revisions, launch. The retainer takes over once it’s live.
What is the build fee variable?
Because a one-page brochure isn’t the same job as a 40-page e-commerce site. We scope and negotiate it with you so the number reflects the work.
Do you do email marketing or social?
Not as core services, but we can integrate the tools you use (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, etc.) and keep them running.
