Build it yourself
$0 to $300 to start, then $16 to $50 a month
The real cost is your time: a weekend to build it, and every fix and update after that is yours to do.
Website cost
How much does a small business website cost in Portland?
It depends on who builds it. Doing it yourself runs $0 to $300 to start, plus $16 to $50 a month and your weekends. An agency typically charges $3,000 to $15,000 up front. Our plans are $0 to build and $39 to $179 a month, with hosting and updates included.
Three ways to pay
Three ways to get a website, and what each really costs.
Hire an agency
$3,000 to $15,000 up front, then a $100 to $750 retainer
Agencies are genuinely the right call for custom software and big campaigns. For most small businesses, it is more than the job needs.
A flat monthly plan
$0 to build, then $39 to $179 a month
That’s how we work. Hosting, security, and content updates are in the monthly, so routine changes never turn into a separate invoice.
Our prices
The plans, side by side.
Every plan is $0 to build. The Signature build is an optional one-time add-on.
| Plan | Pages | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Portfolio | up to 3 pages | $39/mo |
| Business | up to 7 pages | $99/mo |
| Growth | up to 10 local pages | $179/mo |
| Signature build | Available on any plan | $1,300 once |
Optional one-time add-ons have their prices on the pricing page. Anything else gets a flat quote in writing before any work starts. Never hourly. Every plan, line by line
Before you sign with anyone
Five questions to ask any web designer.
- Who owns the domain?
- With us, your domain is registered in your name.
- Is hosting included?
- Ours is, along with HTTPS security.
- What does a change cost after launch?
- Content updates are included in the monthly. New pages or features get a flat quote first. We never bill hourly.
- When is the first payment?
- Ours is due the day your site goes live, after you’ve already seen it.
- What happens if I leave?
- Cancel any time. Inside the first year the site comes down, since the $0 build is what the monthly repays. Stay a year or more and the complete site files leave with you, free. If you added the Signature build, its motion layer stays with us.
Straight answers
The questions everyone asks.
Is the build really $0?
Yes. Every plan is $0 to build. You see a free mockup first, and your first month is due the day your site goes live.
What does the monthly include?
Hosting, HTTPS security, your domain registered in your name, and monthly content updates. Business adds up to 7 pages and online booking. Growth adds individually written city pages, Google Business Profile setup, and lead tracking.
Are there any extra charges?
Only if you ask for something beyond your plan, like extra pages or features. You get a flat quote in writing before any work starts, and we never bill hourly.
Why not just build it on Wix or Squarespace?
If you enjoy building websites and have the time, a builder is a fair choice. The trade-off is that the build, the fixes, and the updates are all yours to do.
What does the Signature build cost?
$1,300 one time, on any plan, for a cinematic, motion-driven site. It’s optional, and we never push it.
What does it cost to leave?
Nothing. Cancel any time by email. Inside the first year the site comes down, since the $0 build is what the monthly repays. Stay a year or more and the complete site files leave with you, free. If you added the Signature build, its motion layer stays with us.
The only next step
Ask for your mockup.
Two minutes of your time, about two days of ours. You see your actual site, on its own private link, before a dollar moves. Worst case, you wasted two minutes and got a free design opinion.
