The Short Version
For $997, you get a professionally designed 1-3 page website, built from scratch, launched on your domain, in 3 business days. No templates. No recurring platform fees. No surprises. You own the code. You own the site. Done.
Now here's the long version — because you're about to spend a thousand dollars and you deserve to know exactly where it goes.
The 3-Day Process
We figure out what your site needs to do
Before a single pixel gets placed, we align on what this site is actually for. We review the intake form you filled out, research your industry and competitors, and establish the design direction, content hierarchy, and conversion goals.
For Launch tier, you provide your own content (we give you a structured template that makes it easy). For Grow and Scale, we handle the copywriting too.
The site comes to life
This is heads-down build time. Your site gets designed and developed simultaneously — not as a mockup that then needs to be coded. We work directly in production-ready code, which means what you see is what goes live. No "this looked different in the mockup" surprises.
By end of Day 2, you have a functional website with your content, branding, responsive design, and core functionality all in place.
Polish, test, deploy
We run through every page on every device. Typography, spacing, load times, form submissions, mobile behavior, SEO basics — all checked and tightened. Then we connect your domain, configure hosting, set up analytics, and flip the switch. Your site is live.
What's Included
What You Need to Provide
For the Launch tier, we need your content: the text for each page (we provide a fill-in-the-blank template), your logo (or we'll do simple text-based branding), and any photos or images you want on the site. If you don't have professional photos, we can source high-quality stock imagery that fits your brand.
That's it. If you can fill out a Google Doc, you can provide what we need.
What's NOT Included (and Why)
Transparency matters, so here's what the $997 Launch tier doesn't cover: custom copywriting (that's in the $2,497 Grow tier), e-commerce or booking systems (those require the $4,997 Scale tier or a custom scope), ongoing hosting costs (typically $0-20/month depending on the platform), and domain registration (usually $12-15/year if you don't already have one).
We're upfront about this because the worst thing a service company can do is surprise you with add-on costs after you've already paid. There are none here.
How It Compares to Alternatives
| Option | Cost | Timeline | Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIY (Squarespace/Wix) | $200-600/yr | 2-6 weeks | Template-based |
| Freelancer (Upwork) | $1,500-5,000 | 3-8 weeks | Varies widely |
| 3 Day Website (Launch) | $997 | 3 days | Custom, professional |
| Agency | $5,000-25,000+ | 6-12 weeks | Premium (with overhead) |
Need More Than 3 Pages?
The Launch tier is designed for businesses that need a clean, effective web presence fast. But if your project is bigger, we have two other tiers:
| Tier | Launch | Grow | Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $997 | $2,497 | $4,997 |
| Pages | 1-3 | Up to 6 | Up to 10 |
| Copywriting | You provide | Included | Included |
| Strategy session | Intake form | 45-min call | 90-min deep dive |
| Revisions | 1 round | 2 rounds | 3 rounds |
| Post-launch support | 30 days email | 60 days email + phone | 60 days priority |
Why $997?
We get asked this a lot, so here's the honest math. A senior web designer's time is worth $75-150/hour. A 3-page custom website takes approximately 10-14 hours of focused work when done efficiently — strategy, design, development, QA, and deployment. At $75-100/hour, that's $750-1,400 in labor alone before overhead, tools, and support.
We charge $997 because it's the fair-market rate for professional custom work done on an efficient timeline. It's not cheap, but it's not inflated either. You're paying for quality and speed, not agency overhead, account managers, or three rounds of stakeholder meetings.
The math that matters: If your website converts just one customer per month that you wouldn't have gotten otherwise, and that customer is worth $200 or more, the site pays for itself in under 5 months. Most businesses see ROI much faster than that.
What Happens After Launch?
Your site is live, it's yours, and it works independently. The 30 days of email support covers questions, minor text changes, and any issues that come up. After that, you have three options: manage it yourself (you own the code), hire anyone you want to maintain it (no vendor lock-in), or sign up for one of our care plans starting at $97/month for ongoing updates, monitoring, and support.
There's zero pressure to pick the care plan. Your site doesn't stop working without it. It's there if you want it.
