Questions, answered
How much does a website cost?
The Basic Website is $450 for up to 5 pages, the Business Website is $900 for up to 10 pages, the Online Store is $1,350 and the Market Authority Turn-Key Package is $1,250. All are built on Shopify, and the Shopify plan and your domain are billed by those providers. Packages and add-ons can extend any build, and every price is listed on the website design prices page.
What is the difference between the Basic and Business websites?
The Basic Website is up to 5 custom pages with on-page SEO, JSON-LD schema and a spam-protected contact form, live in one to two weeks. The Business Website is up to 10 pages in two to three weeks and adds individual service pages and location landing pages, each targeting its own search term, with a full technical SEO architecture. Choose Business when you have several services or areas.
When should I choose the Online Store instead?
Choose it when you sell online. The $1,350 Online Store is a full Shopify build with catalog structure, payment setup, a gift card workflow, product page templates, SEO and schema, in three to four weeks. Loading a full product catalog, configuring shipping, taxes and checkout beyond defaults and connecting marketplaces are separate paid services priced by scope.
What does the Turn-Key package do differently?
It is a 100% hands-off build. You get everything in a Business Website (up to 10 pages), full local SEO copywriting written from scratch per market, the Specialized Service Architecture and local schema on every city page. You inspect a private preview, then we transfer the site to your own Shopify account and help with DNS. Results build over time and no ranking is promised.
Do I own the website?
Yes. Our builds are made on a Shopify account and domain you own outright, so you are never locked in to us. Shopify's own plan and your domain registration are billed directly by those providers, with no markup from us. Turn-Key builds are built privately for your approval and then transferred to your own Shopify account, with help on the DNS changes.
Can I pay 50% down?
Yes. Every one-time service here has a 50% deposit option. Choose the 50% deposit option at checkout to pay half today. The remaining half is invoiced when the work is complete, and you can also pay in full. David confirms scope and timing with you before work begins, so there are no surprises. Monthly plans and memberships are paid at the full monthly price, and packages and memberships are not refundable.
