Pricing

Every price, in full, before you email me

Everyone in this market writes starting at and makes you send an email to find the real number. Here is the whole list instead, including what happens after launch

The three builds

One-page site

$450

one time, nothing after

One page that does the job. For when Instagram is already doing the selling

  • Opening section, services, gallery, contact form
  • All the words written for you
  • Local SEO setup
  • Two weeks of free fixes after launch

Everything sits on one page and the menu scrolls you down it. Services, a gallery, prices if you want them public, and a form at the bottom

Right for you if
You book most of your work through Instagram already
Takes
About two weeks

Pick a different one if you want a page per service, or more than one gallery. Start at the full marketing site

Full marketing site

Most common

$1,000

one time, nothing after

The one most people want. Portfolio, services, your story, and a form that actually delivers

  • Portfolio, services, about, inquiry form
  • All the words written for you
  • Local SEO and Google Business Profile help
  • Image optimization and spam protection
  • Two weeks of free fixes after launch

Four to six real pages, each with its own address you can send on its own. A portfolio that holds more than one gallery, a page per service, and an about page that sounds like you

Right for you if
You want a site that can carry the whole business
Takes
Three to four weeks

Pick a different one if you need people to log in, pay you, or sign something. That is the full build

Full build

$1,800

one time, nothing after

Everything above, plus the back office. Inquiries, contracts and signatures in one place

  • Everything in the full marketing site
  • Admin dashboard
  • Inquiry management
  • Contract signing with e-signature

The public site is the same as the full marketing site. What is added is the part only you see: every inquiry in one list, marked new or replied or booked, instead of buried in your email

Right for you if
You are running the paperwork out of your inbox and it is getting away from you
Takes
Five to seven weeks

Pick a different one if your booking already lives in a tool you like. Sometimes the honest answer is the marketing site plus that tool

Start a project

Not sure which one? Say what you need and I will tell you

The whole argument

None of them have a monthly fee

Not one of the three. Your only ongoing cost is your domain, about $11 a year, registered in your name

Five years of hosting

On a platform
$1,620 to $2,940At $27 to $49 a month
On your own site
$55Domain only, and you own it

In every build, whichever you pick

  • Local SEO setup
  • Google Business Profile help
  • Image optimization
  • Spam protection
  • Analytics
  • Two weeks of free fixes

What is not in the price

Logo design
I will make the logo you have sit right. If you do not have one, I can point you at someone
Photography
Your photos are the site. If you do not have good ones yet, fix that before you spend money on me
An online store
A different kind of build. Ask me and I will tell you honestly if I am right for it
Ongoing posting
I do not run your Instagram. I build the thing it points at

After launch

Changes after launch

Most changes are small. A photo, a price, a date. Those come out of one hour, and I tell you before I start if something will take longer

HourlyOne hour minimum
$70
Four-hour blockDoes not expire
$315
New pageWritten and built
$150

How paying works

Half to start
Paid after the call. It holds your spot in the schedule
Half at launch
Paid when the site is live and you are happy, not before
The domain is yours
You buy it in your own name, about $11 a year. If we ever part ways you keep it

Questions

The things people ask before they email me

What if I do not like it
Two rounds of changes, and I would rather use them than have you sit on something you dislike. Send a list, be blunt. If we reach the first draft and it is clearly not working, you get your deposit back
Do I own the site
Yes. The domain is in your name, the files are yours, and you get every login. There is nothing I can switch off
Can I edit it myself
Not without me, and that is the trade. No editor to log into is why there is no monthly fee. If editing it yourself matters more, Squarespace is the better answer and I will say so
How long until it is live
Two to four weeks. What decides it is how fast your photos come back to me
What if I need more pages later
$150 a page, written and built. No renegotiation, no new project

Start a project

Still not sure which one

Say what you need in a couple of sentences and I will tell you which of the three fits, even if the answer is the cheapest one

What happens after you send it

  1. It lands in my inbox, not an assistant and not a shared account
  2. You get a real reply within one business day, even if the answer is no
  3. If it looks like a fit, we book a thirty minute call. No slide deck
