Pricing

What this costs, and why.

Most agencies hide this page. Here is how we quote, what moves the number and roughly what you should expect to pay. The real figure comes in writing after a twenty minute call, and it does not change afterwards.

One time, fixed price

Project

$3,500

starting price

A new site, a rebrand, a store, an audit. Defined start and finish.

  • A written scope with every deliverable named
  • A fixed price, agreed before work starts
  • Staged reviews so nothing is a surprise at the end
  • Training and documentation at handover
  • Thirty days of post launch fixes included

Most small business sites land between $3,500 and $9,000. Custom builds with booking, calculators or member areas start around $12,000.

Monthly, ongoing

Retainer

$1,500

per month

Marketing that has to keep running: SEO, ads, content, design.

  • A named person on your account, not a queue
  • An agreed monthly scope of hours and deliverables
  • Monthly reporting on leads and cost per lead, not just traffic
  • Quarterly strategy review against the written plan
  • Ad spend billed separately at cost, never marked up

Retainers scale with scope. SEO alone usually starts at $1,500 a month. SEO plus paid ads plus creative runs higher.

Five things that move the price.

01

How many pages

A five page site and a fifty page site are different jobs. Page count is the single biggest driver.

02

Custom versus content managed

A WordPress build reuses proven ground. A hand built custom front end costs more and buys behavior WordPress cannot do cleanly.

03

Who writes the words

If you supply copy, the project moves faster and costs less. If we write it, that is a real line item.

04

Integrations

Booking, payments, CRM, inventory and member logins each add scope. Two integrations is normal, six is a bigger project.

05

Photography and illustration

Using your own photos costs nothing. Directing a shoot or licensing imagery is an additional cost we quote up front.

How payment works

01

Discovery call

Twenty minutes. We ask what the business needs and tell you if we are a fit. Free, and no deck.

02

Written scope and fixed price

Deliverables, timeline and price in writing. You approve it before anyone starts.

03

Deposit, then staged work

A deposit starts the work. The balance falls at agreed milestones, not in one surprise invoice.

04

Launch and handover

We go live, train your team and hand over source files. Thirty days of fixes are included.

Included in every engagement

  • A fixed price agreed in writing before work starts
  • Ownership of the final deliverables on final payment
  • Editable source files, not just flat exports
  • A named person you can call, at (210) 549-7907
  • Third party costs passed through at cost, itemised
  • An honest no when your budget will not produce results

A few straight answers

Asked and answered.

How much does a website cost in San Antonio?

Most small business websites land between $3,500 and $9,000. Custom builds that include booking, calculators or member areas start around $12,000. Every project is quoted at a fixed price in writing before work begins.

Do you charge hourly or fixed price?

Fixed price, agreed in writing before anything starts. Hourly billing only appears where a scope explicitly says so, which is rare. You should not be watching a clock while we think.

How much is a monthly marketing retainer?

Retainers start at $1,500 per month for SEO. Adding paid advertising and ongoing creative raises that. Ad spend is billed separately at cost and never marked up.

Do I need to pay everything up front?

No. A deposit begins the work and the balance falls at agreed milestones. Retainers and care plans are billed monthly in advance.

What if my budget is too small?

We will tell you before you commit. Sometimes the answer is a smaller first phase, sometimes it is an audit and a list you can work through yourself. Taking money that cannot produce a result is not a business we want.

Are there any hidden costs?

No. Third party costs such as domains, premium plugins, stock licences and ad spend are passed through at cost and shown as separate lines on the invoice.
