Website Design Packages Pricing, With Real Numbers Attached

Website design packages pricing is normally three cards with no numbers on them and a button that says get a quote. Mine is $299 for three pages, $449 for five and $599 for seven, everything written for you, live in seven days, with no monthly fee attached to any of it.

The rest of this page is the part that matters more than the numbers: what a page actually means, what is in every tier, and the things I do not include on purpose.

The price list in full

Every step up is exactly two more pages for $150. Pages past seven are $75 each as well, so there is no point in the list where the arithmetic stops making sense. The per page price falls as the site gets bigger because the setup work is the same either way, and that setup is most of the job.

What actually counts as a page

This is where quotes go wrong, including mine if I am not careful, so I would rather be blunt about it before you pay than after.

A page is roughly 500 words using layouts that already exist in your site. A home page, an about page, a contact page, a single service page. That is the unit the price is built on.

What is in every tier, including the cheapest one

None of this is an upsell. A three page build gets the same treatment as a seven page one.

• Every word written for you. Not a form asking you to supply copy. I write it, you correct it.
• A custom design. Built from your colours, your photos and the reference sites you like. No template, no page builder, no plugins.
• Hand coded and mobile first. It is built for a phone before it is built for a desktop, because that is where your customers are.
• The full technical SEO block. Titles and meta descriptions, heading structure, image alt text, clean URLs, canonical tags, robots.txt, an XML sitemap and structured data.
• Search Console and analytics. Google Search Console created, verified and the sitemap submitted. Analytics with form submissions and phone taps tracked. Bing set up too.
• Hosting in your name, free and permanent. A Cloudflare account opened with your email, holding your site. You have the logins from day one.
• Your business email forwarding. Something at your own domain instead of a personal address.
• The tools you already use, connected. Booking links, WhatsApp, payment links, your reviews, your ordering system. If it exists, I connect it.

What is not included, deliberately

Refusals are cheaper to hear now than to discover in week two.

The rule behind all three refusals is the same. If the thing already exists, I connect it. If it has to be built from nothing, you want a different person, and I will say so on the first call rather than halfway through. The same list of what is and is not covered sits on my what every build includes page.

The one thing that is monthly, and it is optional

Keyword research and content are not part of a build. Only the technical SEO is. That line matters because it is the difference between a site that is set up correctly and a site that is actively being grown, and blurring it would let me charge you for one while delivering the other.

If you want the second thing, it is $150 a month for two researched and published articles, your business profile kept current, and unlimited small edits. Month to month, nothing to sign. One off changes outside that are $95 an hour with a one hour minimum.

How to read anybody else's package page

Package pages are written to look comparable and are usually not. Five questions turn three vague cards into something you can actually line up side by side.

• Is copywriting included, or is that your job? If it is your job, the project will take as long as you take, and most people take months.
• Is the hosting free, and whose account is it on? Free hosting on their account is not free. It is a lock, and it costs you a rebuild to leave.
• How many revision rounds, and what counts as one? One round means one consolidated list of changes. Some places mean one change.
• What is the price after the first year? Domains renew, plans escalate, introductory hosting expires. Ask for the year two number in writing.
• What happens to the site if you stop paying? The only answer that means you own something is nothing happens.

What happens when you need more pages later

Businesses change. You add a service, you open a second location, you decide the thing you buried on the about page deserves a page of its own.

Extra pages after launch are $75 each, the same as pages seven and up in the original build, because by then the design system exists and the work is genuinely smaller. There is no rebuild fee and no penalty for having started small. If anything I would rather you started with three pages that are true than seven that were guesses, because a page written before you knew what people ask is a page you will want rewritten inside a year.

Why the numbers are on this page at all

Almost every competitor hides pricing behind a contact form. The reasoning is that a conversation lets them qualify you and quote to what they think you can pay. That is a real strategy and it works, and I am not doing it.

Publishing the price does two things. It saves both of us the call when the budget is not there, and it means the price cannot quietly change based on how your business looks. The number on this page is the number I charge. If your job does not fit the tiers, I will say so before quoting rather than stretching the definition of a page until it does.

What I need from you before the clock starts

Seven days is counted from the moment you have sent everything and paid the first half, not from the first conversation. The list is short on purpose.

• Photographs. Your own, as many as you have. Phone photos are fine.
• The facts. Hours, service areas, phone number, the services you want listed, any prices you are willing to publish.
• Two or three sites you like. Competitors or not. Say what you like about each, even roughly.
• Anything you already pay for. Booking, ordering, payment links, review profiles, so they can be connected rather than rebuilt.

That is the whole intake. If something is missing I will build around it rather than stall, but the clock does not start until it is all in one place, because a project waiting on a photograph is how a one week build turns into a two month one.
