  • I loved working with this team. They were super attentive and made sure my business needs were met. Respectful & extremely professional. I tend to leave things for last, and slack a bit. but I was very happy and appreciated the follow up to get things done quickly. Thanks :)

Watch out

Where a cheap website ends up costing more

A low price is fine. These four catches are not, and each one is easy to check before you pay.

  1. Someone else owns your domain

    If the designer registers your web address in their name, you can’t leave without losing it. Ask whose name goes on the domain before you sign anything.

  2. You rent the site forever

    A low monthly fee looks cheap until year three. Find out what you pay in total, and whether you keep the site and your content if you stop paying.

  3. One page for everything

    A single Services page can’t rank for eight different jobs. Google needs a page for each service you want customers to find.

  4. Slow on a phone

    Most people look you up on a phone. Run your site through Google’s free PageSpeed Insights test. If the phone score is in the red, you’re losing visitors before they read a word.

No corners cut

How we keep the price low without cutting corners

We save money in places you won’t notice, and spend it where customers and Google will.

  • We build on a system we already have. Speed, mobile layout and the SEO basics are already done, so you don’t pay for them from scratch.
  • You send the parts only you have. Your logo, your photos and your list of services. That saves days of back and forth.
  • We skip what small businesses rarely need. No custom animations, member logins or fancy effects unless you ask for them.
  • You can start small. Begin with one or two pages and add a page for each service when the calls start coming in.
  • WordPress, Squarespace or Wix. We build on the one that suits you, so you can make small edits yourself instead of paying someone each time.

Four steps

How to get an affordable website for your small business

Most small business sites can go live in a day once we have your content.

  1. Pick the jobs you want more of

    Write down the two or three services that pay best. Those get the first pages.

  2. Send your content

    Logo, real photos of your work, your service list and the login for your domain.

  3. Check it on a private link

    You read every page before anyone else sees it. If a sentence doesn’t sound like you, we change it.

  4. Go live and add pages later

    We connect Google Search Console and Analytics on day one. Add more pages when you’re ready, at a price you see first.

Affordable website questions

What is the cheapest way to get a website for my business?

Building it yourself on Wix or Squarespace costs the least money, but it takes your time, and many DIY sites never show up on Google.

If you would rather have it done for you, our Basic website starts at $695, one-time. For a full look at market prices and yearly bills, read how much a website costs.

Is a cheap website bad for SEO?

Not because it is cheap. A low-cost site does fine on Google if it loads fast, works on a phone and gives each service its own page.

A site does badly when it is slow, has one page for everything, or hides your phone number in a picture. Those problems happen at every price.

Why do some web designers charge so much more?

Big agencies often design every site from scratch, run long meetings and add features most small businesses never use. That costs a lot of hours.

For a local business, a fast, clear site with a page for each service usually brings the same calls for much less.

Do I have to pay every month?

Our website packages are a one-time price. Like any website, it also needs hosting and a domain, which are small ongoing costs, and both are on our pricing page.

There is no contract, and the domain and content stay yours if you ever leave.

Can I start with a small website and add pages later?

Yes, and it is often the smartest way to start. Launch with one or two pages, see which services people call about, then add a page for each.

You see the price of every new page before we build it.

Do you offer affordable web design in Austin?

Yes. We are based in Round Rock and build affordable websites for businesses across Austin and Central Texas, and for small businesses across the U.S. by phone and video.

The prices are the same wherever you are. See our small business web design page for the sites we have built.
