The Rate Board

Priced in Plain Numbers

Websites and marketing for businesses that can't afford to guess. Everything on this page comes from real hours at posted rates. Nothing is padded, and nothing is hidden.

How Pricing Works

Where Every Number Comes From

Package prices are time estimates multiplied by the rates below, and monthly plans are priced under what the same work costs piece by piece.

$110/hr

Production

Writing, design, website edits, and scheduling. The work that gets made and shipped.

$160/hr

Strategy

Consulting and planning time. Booked by the hour, no retainer required.

$125/hr

Ad Hoc & Overflow

Work beyond a project's scope or a plan's included hours. Unscheduled, so it bills above production. One hour minimum.

Website Design & Development

The Builds

Every site is built on WordPress around your customers and your goals, and every project starts with a free scoping call.

Starter

$1,500

A clean, professional site online without a big project attached.

  • Up to 4 pages on a professional template
  • Contact form and basic on-page SEO
  • Google Analytics and Search Console connected

  • Up to 15 pages, fully custom design
  • Booking, e-commerce, or member areas
  • Advanced SEO and email signup

Enterprise

from $9,500

The projects that don't fit a package.

  • Large e-commerce and Shopify builds

Starter is the template build. Signature is where custom design begins, and most of the price difference between them is design time. Every build includes 90 days of Site Care Essential, so someone is watching from day one. After that it continues at $70/mo unless you choose a different plan or cancel with 30 days notice.
