[The questions]
Asked before the brief, not after.
Every figure on these pages is read off the price list at the moment the page is built, so none of them can quietly go stale. Where the honest answer is use somebody else, it says that instead.
- [01]
How much does a small business website cost?
Four fixed prices rather than a range: $395 for one page at Max 48H, up to from $3,175 for up to 15 pages with a catalogue and payments. Each price is fixed in writing before anything starts, and each row prints its own page count and its own cap beside it — which is why this one is answered on the price list itself rather than in a guide that would only quote it back at you.

How long does it take to build a website?
Ask ten studios and you get ten ranges of weeks, because a range costs the studio nothing if it turns out to be wrong. Every package here publishes a cap instead — the longest we will take, counted from the moment we accept the brief.

Do I own my website, or does the agency?
Your site is not one thing to own: the code, the domain and the accounts it runs on are three registrations, and a studio can hand you one while quietly keeping the other two. The question that settles it is whose name is on each.

Should I use a website builder or have one built?
A builder is a system you rent and a custom build is one you own, and for a lot of businesses renting is genuinely the right call. It stops being the right call at a point you can see coming, and this is what that point looks like.

What do I have to give a web designer before they can start?
Words, pictures, keys and one person who can say yes. A studio that cannot tell you this list before you pay is a studio that will discover it halfway through, on your deadline.

[When you are ready]
Tell us what you are building.
The brief takes about four minutes and comes back as a package and a fixed quote. Nothing on it commits you to anything, and the offer states what happens if you go ahead.
