The honest context
What the rest of the market charges.
You should be able to compare before you talk to anyone. These are the ranges we consistently see quoted around Charleston and the Lowcountry for small-business work:
Budget freelance / offshore
$200 – $900
Usually a template with your logo dropped in. Hosting and updates are on you.
Local freelance designer
$1,500 – $3,000
Better, but maintenance is typically hourly and support depends on one person's schedule.
Typical small-business build
$2,500 – $6,000
The most common quote range. Hosting and care usually billed separately at $50 – $150/mo.
Full custom agency build
$5,000 – $20,000+
Deeper strategy and design. Often a longer timeline and a larger ongoing retainer.
E-commerce
$7,500+
Catalog, checkout, and inventory work sit on top of the base build.
We sit deliberately outside that structure. Rather than a large up-front design fee plus a separate hosting bill plus hourly maintenance, everything is one monthly number starting at $199/mo, and you aren't billed anything until the site is live.
Included
In every plan, no tiers.
- Full custom design and build
- Mobile-first across every screen size
