How much does a website cost?
Pricing is based on what your site does, not how many pages it has. Starter is $1,500 one-time plus $150 a month for a professional homepage with up to 6 sections. Growth is $3,000 plus $300 a month for a site built to generate leads, with tools like quote or booking request flows, calculators, or dedicated service pages. Premium starts at $5,000 plus $500 a month for sites with custom functionality like online booking, payments, or data feeds. SEO and Google Business setup come with every site.
What does hosting and maintenance include?
Fast, secure hosting with SSL, software and security updates, and small content changes like hours, prices, and photos, usually done the same day. Hosting is $150, $300, or $500 a month depending on your website tier.
What counts as a page?
A page is its own URL, like yoursite.com/services. Menu links that scroll to a section of your homepage are part of that page, not separate pages. Most of our sites are one strong homepage, and additional pages are $300 each.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most websites are live in 5 to 7 business days after you complete our discovery form. Larger Premium and e-commerce projects are scheduled when we scope them.
How do payments work?
The website build is a one-time fee, paid in full up front. Hosting and maintenance is a simple monthly subscription. There are no long-term contracts.
Is SEO included?
Yes. Every website includes SEO and Google Business setup: clean page structure, titles and descriptions, schema markup, a sitemap, fast mobile load times, and your Google Business Profile set up and optimized. A live Google Reviews widget is included too.
What are AEO and GEO?
AEO (answer engine optimization) helps your business show up inside Google's AI Overviews and answer boxes. GEO (generative engine optimization) helps tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity find and name your business. It is a $1,000 one-time add-on. We measure before and after, but no one can guarantee placement in an AI answer.
How much does a mobile app cost?
An iOS and Android app is $4,000 one-time plus $400 a month for hosting and maintenance. A website and app bundle, with a Growth-level site, is $7,000 plus $700 a month. Apps with e-commerce, POS integration, or multiple locations are quoted custom.
How does AI consulting work?
AI consulting is $300 per hour. We start with a free AI assessment, then work hands-on with you and your team to set up tools like Claude and ChatGPT, automate routine work, and train your staff.
Do you only work with Charleston businesses?
We are based in Charleston, SC and most of our clients are in the Lowcountry, but we build sites for businesses across the Southeast and beyond.
Is the website audit really free?
Yes. We review your site's speed, mobile experience, SEO, and Google reviews, then show you what is costing you customers. No obligation.
