The nitty gritty
All you know is that you need a nice website because the old one sucks; or you've never even had one. It just has to work. You don't care how we're going to make it. But, for those relatively few clients who do care, see below. Maybe you're particular about the technology, and even have a preferred platform.
extendable open-sourced workhorses
These custom websites are built to grow with your business. They belong to the dynamic world of open-source web development. It is a hotbed for enterprising innovation. Your website benefits from that. The website can evolve to become whatever you need it to become and do whatever you need it to do. The technology will never grow stale. And we have the freedom to design anything we can imagine, presenting your brand with inimitable distinction.
We build with Divi from Elegant Themes, best of the custom web design tools for WordPress. Yes that's a matter of opinion. But we've been led to it by experience and research. Right now there's no better way to build custom websites. Your design will advance quickly. We can soup up an existing design from the Divi library. Or we can build from scratch. In trying to be all things to everyone, Divi falls short of perfect. But we can come close by adding several amazing plugins, and some old-school custom code. Don't ever settle for looking like anybody other than yourself. Never again be in a position of having to make do.
Smart Slider 3 plus Divi equals the ultimate in mobile-responsive design and layout. This versatile, dynamic module can build stunning banners, content blocs and even landing pages. You're looking at it right now. Yoast SEO plugin gives us the tools to get you to number one in Google. That still takes operator skill and major know-how. But Yoast makes our work so much easier. Site speed (how fast your pages load) is a big Google ranking factor. Enter WP Rocket. This brilliant gadget adds caching, plus file and script compression. Pow.

low-budget hosted builders
In a perfect world, all small businesses would budget for a killer custom website. But in the real world all too often that is not how it works. The website is another thing that gets put together on a shoestring. Enter the hosted DIY website builders. They use prefab templates with little customization possible. You'll have to live with whatever rudimentary apps are offered by the company's closed ecosystem. The company will host the website too. The upsides are simplicity, reliability and amortization. You will pay a modest monthly fee, forever, but nothing up front. And these products are completely coding-free. Here are four popular econo solutions. If you need professional help with one of them, call for a quote.
Drag-and-drop builder known for hip, sleek templates. Favored by creatives for displaying and selling their work. If you like splashy and now, this might be the one. Good for image-heavy sites; so-so for text-heavy sites. Offers minimal customization options. New and improved admin interface, plus built-in tools for SEO and many more mandatories including e-commerce. Business plans start at $26 a month.
Omnipresent hosted website builder lets people who know less than nothing about websites create a website. Might be a little more difficult than Squarespace for some users. Has the greatest number of templates. Drag-and-drop layout system is more robust. For years was reputed to be not good for SEO, but the basic tools are there. Pricing runs with the pack. The starter Business plan costs $18 a month.
Ultra-easy hosted builder targets extreme untechies who like having fewer choices. The company kept it simple by making it impossible to make even small changes to their templates. All homepages use one layout. Covers the usual related mandatories but on a barebones basis. Still, that might be just your ticket. A Business Premium plan costs $9 a month. Beware ad hoc service fees and surprise price hikes.
Perennially, wildly popular among people starting businesses on a shoestring. Built from the ground up for a business clientele. Their truly free plan makes them the best option if you don't want to spend even a penny on your business website. Great for very small businesses, but scales poorly. Under new owners, showing signs of atrophy and neglect, relative to hungrier competitors. Just $16 a month for the Professional plan
No two projects are alike. So, no two projects cost the same. However, you can find some ballpark numbers on our pricing page. Small business sites generally fall into our two lower price ranges: Upstart/Smallbiz.
