Pricing
How much a custom website costs
Freelance prices in US dollars, from design to launch. The number depends on how many unique page layouts you need, whether a design already exists, and what the site has to connect to.
| Type | Price | Timeline | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marketing website | $8,000–22,000 | 4–8 weeks | 5–12 pages built for your business, fast on mobile, set up for Google, with forms that land leads where you can find them. |
| Content-heavy website | $15,000–35,000 | 8–14 weeks | Dozens of service, location, or catalog pages, a CMS, and a structure Google can crawl and rank. |
| Ecommerce, booking, or custom CMS | $18,000–45,000 | 10–16 weeks | Checkout, payments, custom booking, or an admin your staff use every day. |
Real examples: Easy Pawsy cost $14,000 over 6 weeks. Authentic Urban cost $30,000 over 12 weeks.
Approach
How I build a business website
A business website has one job: turn visitors into enquiries, bookings, or sales. Everything I build serves that job, and speed and SEO are part of the build, not extras.
Start with the job
Who the site is for, what they should do on it, and how we'll know it's working. That decides which pages exist and what goes on them.
Design from Figma or from scratch
I build a finished Figma design accurately, or design the structure and pages myself. Either way it's made for your business, not a theme with your logo.
Connect what the site needs
Contact forms, booking, checkout, a CMS your team can edit, payments, or your CRM. Only what the job needs, built properly instead of stacked plugins.
Launch and hand over
Hosting, domain, caching, and a site that stays up. You own the code, the hosting account, and the domain.

Difference
What goes into the build
Built to bring in customers
Easy Pawsy's clinic site was built around one path: from a Google search to a booked visit. Bookings went from about 20 a week to about 120.
Fast from the first page
Speed is part of the build, not a fix at the end. A consulting site went from about 3 seconds to 450ms, and a 120-page aviation catalog from 8 seconds to 676ms.
Set up to be found on Google
Titles, schema, sitemaps, and page structure are built in. Authentic Urban gets most of its 30K+ monthly visitors from Google.
One person, start to finish
You work directly with the person building your site, from the first call to launch. No account managers, no hand-offs.

What the site has to do, who it's for, the pages, and what it connects to. You get it in writing, with a price range and timeline.
- 02
Design and structure
Built from your Figma file, or I design the pages. You approve the layout before the full build.

Build
Pages, features, speed, and SEO built together. You see progress on a live preview link throughout.

The site goes live on your domain. After launch, I can keep improving it or hand it over to your team.

FAQs
How much does a custom business website cost?
Most custom marketing websites cost $8,000–22,000 with me. Content-heavy sites run $15,000–35,000, and ecommerce, booking, or custom CMS sites $18,000–45,000. You get an exact range after a short call and a written brief.
How long does it take to build a website?
Four to eight weeks for most marketing sites, counted from the day the brief is agreed and the content is ready. Content-heavy sites take 8–14 weeks, and ecommerce or booking sites 10–16 weeks.
Can you redesign or rebuild my existing website?
Yes. If your current pages already rank on Google, I keep the URLs and content that work, and rebuild the design and the technology underneath. If the site isn't working at all, I'll tell you whether starting over is cheaper.
Can you build from an existing Figma design?
Yes. I build it accurately, then handle what a design file doesn't cover: behaviour on phones, speed, SEO, and launch. Three of my website case studies started from a client's Figma file.
Will my new website rank on Google?
The build gives you the foundation: fast pages, clean structure, schema, and a sitemap. Ranking also depends on your content and competition. Easy Pawsy reached #2 for its main local search after a few blog posts were added after launch.
Do I own the website when it's done?
Yes. The code, the hosting account, and the domain are yours. If you want me to maintain it after launch, that's a separate, optional arrangement.
When do I need a web product instead of a website?
When customers need to log in, manage data, or come back to use tools, you need a web product, which is priced and built differently. I'll tell you which one you need after the first call.
