How much does a website cost across Southwest Florida?

Build Price Best for
Basic website $450 Up to 5 pages — one trade, one location
Business website $900 Up to 10 pages — several services or service areas
Online store $1,350 Selling products, packages or gift cards online

Every build includes mobile-first design, on-page SEO, validated schema, a spam-shielded contact form and answer-first structure so AI assistants can quote you.

Every site we build runs on Shopify — including plain marketing sites with no shopping cart. It is fast, secure and hosted for you, you can add products or gift cards later without a rebuild, and the account is yours outright. Shopify bills you directly for their plan (from about $39/month) and your domain; we never mark either up.

Why Shopify for a Southwest Florida small business

Every site we build runs on Shopify, and for a small business in Southwest Florida that is a practical choice. Shopify hosts the site for you, keeps it secure and fast, and lets it grow from a five-page marketing site to a full online store without a rebuild.

Fast, secure and hosted

Shopify hosts the site, handles security updates and serves pages quickly on a phone, which matters when customers search from a parked car or a job site.

Scales as you grow

Start with a Basic website at $450, then add products, gift cards or more pages later. The Shopify account is yours outright, so growing never means starting over.

Connects to where customers shop

Through Shopify's sales channels and apps, a store can connect to Instagram and Facebook Shops, TikTok Shop, Google, Amazon, eBay and Etsy, and Shopify POS covers in-person sales. Each platform sets its own approval rules.

What the base price does and does not include. The $450, $900 and $1,350 prices cover the website build. Full product setup, shopping cart and checkout configuration, and connecting any marketplace or sales channel are extra, paid add-ons priced by scope. Shopify bills its plan (from about $39/month) and your domain registrar bills the domain, both directly to you and never marked up.

How do you work across Southwest Florida's three counties?

Southwest Florida runs from Charlotte County in the north through Lee County to Collier in the south — Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte, Fort Myers and Cape Coral, Naples and Marco Island, and every town between. It is a fast-growing, seasonal, small-business-heavy region, and the way customers find those businesses has changed.

People no longer just scroll Google's blue links. They ask ChatGPT which contractor to use, they read Google's AI answer at the top of the page, they check the map pack and the reviews. Being found now means being the clear, well-structured answer those systems trust — not just having a website.

We build websites and run the local and AI-search work that makes a Southwest Florida business that answer. Fixed, published prices. AI-assisted drafting, finished by a human. Live in one to two weeks.

Which Southwest Florida cities and towns do you build for?

Each has its own page, written for its own market — not a template with the name swapped.

Why is AI-assisted web design a good fit for Southwest Florida?

Traditional agencies bill a Southwest Florida small business $3,000 to $8,000 for a website and take two to three months. Most of that is manual labour: writing every page, hand-building layouts, revising by email. It prices out exactly the small businesses that need to be found.

We use AI to do the heavy drafting — page copy, structure, schema, the answer-first formatting AI search rewards — and a human finishes and checks every page before it goes live. That is how a five-page site is $450 instead of $4,000, and live in a week instead of a season.

It also means we build the site the way AI search actually reads it, from the first line, because that is how we draft it. A brochure site converted by hand rarely gets that right. One built this way does it by default.

What ongoing local & AI search plans are available?

Being found across Southwest Florida is ongoing work as much as a one-time build. Our monthly plans keep your profile accurate, track where you rank and keep you the answer AI assistants and the map pack recommend.

Plan Monthly What it covers
Foundation $360 Profile optimization, weekly rank tracking, one post a week, review-request system
Growth $720 Foundation plus two optimized pages a month, AI-citation testing, competitor gap tracking
Authority $1,200 Growth plus four pages a month, local link building, full technical SEO

Month to month, no contract.

Which towns we cover and where to start

Each Southwest Florida county has its own center. Charlotte County's seat is Punta Gorda, with Port Charlotte beside it. Lee County's seat is Fort Myers, with Cape Coral nearby and Estero and Bonita Springs to the south. Collier County's seat is Naples. Interstate 75 and US 41 run through all three counties, which is why so many local businesses work in more than one.

Contractors, marine and boat services, vacation-rental owners, restaurants, clinics and professional offices are typical here, and most serve both winter residents and year-round ones. If your work crosses county lines, start with the page for the town where you are based, then add pages for the other towns you serve. A Basic website at $450 covers up to five pages, and the Business website at $900 covers up to ten, which leaves room for several towns. Our county pages for Lee, Charlotte and Collier explain each market in more detail.

Questions people ask before they hire us

What areas do you cover in Southwest Florida?

All of it — Lee, Charlotte and Collier counties, with dedicated pages for Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Babcock Ranch, Estero, Bonita Springs, Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach, North Fort Myers and Lehigh Acres.

How much does a website cost?

$450 for a five-page site, $900 for a ten-page business site, $1,350 for a full Shopify store. Monthly local and AI-search plans start at $360. Every price is published — no quote call.

What is 'AI search' and why should I care?

It is customers asking ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI answer for a recommendation instead of scrolling links. Those tools quote structured, trustworthy sites. If yours is not built for it, a competitor's is.

Do you really build in one to two weeks?

Yes for a five-page site. Ten pages take two to three weeks, a store three to four. AI-assisted drafting is what makes that speed possible without cutting quality.

Is my site really built on Shopify even without a store?

Yes — every build runs on Shopify, including plain marketing sites. It is fast, secure, hosted for you, and you can add products or gift cards later without a rebuild. The account is yours outright.

Can one website cover a business that works in Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties?

Yes. One site can serve several counties with a separate page for each town or county you work in, so every area gets its own clear answer. The Business website at $900 includes up to ten pages, which is enough for a core set of services plus several service-area pages. Our Lee, Charlotte and Collier county pages show how each market is set up.

How do seasonal residents change a Southwest Florida business website?

They change what the site needs to say and when. Winter residents often search before they arrive and again once they are in town, so hours, seasonal schedules, booking and a fast mobile page matter. Year-round residents search whenever a need comes up. We build pages around the real questions both groups ask and keep hours, services and contact details accurate through the year.

Do prices differ between Southwest Florida counties?

No. The published prices are the same in every county we serve. A Basic website is $450 for up to five pages, a Business website is $900 for up to ten pages, and an Online store is $1,350. Monthly plans are Foundation at $360, Growth at $720 and Authority at $1,200. Shopify bills its own plan and your domain directly to you.

What does the Online store price include, and what costs extra?

The $1,350 Online store price covers the store build: the design, the pages, the mobile layout, on-page SEO and schema. Setting up every product, configuring the shopping cart and checkout fully, and connecting marketplaces or sales channels such as Instagram and Facebook Shops, TikTok Shop, Google, Amazon, eBay, Etsy or Shopify POS are extra, paid add-ons priced by scope. Shopify's own plan and your domain are billed to you directly.

Can a Shopify website connect to Instagram, TikTok, Google and Amazon?

Yes. Shopify can connect a store to Instagram and Facebook Shops, TikTok Shop, Google, Amazon, eBay and Etsy through its sales channels and apps, and Shopify POS handles in-person sales. Each platform has its own approval rules, fees and requirements, which we do not control. Connecting them is extra, paid work priced by scope. It is not part of the $450, $900 or $1,350 base build.
