Why you choose what your website costs

Most designers send a quote before you see anything. I build first and let you set the price after you have seen the site. Here is why, and what stays the same at every price.

Why it works this way

You see the thing, not a promise
A quote asks you to pay for a description. Seeing the real site on your own phone is a better way to decide what it is worth.
Packages hide the same work
A three-tier price list makes the middle option look like the answer. Here there is one site, built the same way, whatever you pay.
Small businesses differ
A new food truck and an established clinic can pay different amounts. Both deserve a fast, accessible site.
The floor is real
There is a lowest price, shown below. If you cannot pay it now, say so on the form, and we talk about it.

What the free check looks for

The free check reads your front page in a few seconds. These are the results that matter most here.

  • Pinch-zoom switched off. Every site I build allows zoom, at every price.
  • No page language. Every site I build sets it, at every price.
  • Images with no alt text. Every site I build labels them, at every price.

Run the free check. The full review goes through every page for $9.

What you get, and what it costs

  • You pay what you think the site is worth, from $100. It is the same site at every price.
  • Every account, from the domain to the hosting, is in your name.
  • It loads fast, works on every phone, and works with a screen reader and a keyboard.
  • No trackers, and nothing about your customers is sold.
  • If you want me to keep it safe and current, the care plan is $9 a month. It is optional.

Questions

Do I get less if I pay less?
No. It is the same site at every price. Paying more is a way to say it earned more, not a way to buy more.
What about changes later?
Later changes are quoted one at a time, and you agree to each price before I start.
Is this a trick to get a call?
No. There is no call first. You fill in a form, and I reply by email or phone, whichever you gave.
