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
  • Fast, secure hosting
  • Weekly backups
  • SSL certificate
  • Security patches and updates
  • Small content edits every month
  • Technical SEO foundation
  • Google Analytics 4 + Search Console
  • Contact forms and click-to-call
  • You own the code, content, and domain

Quoted separately

Scoped on the call, never a surprise.

  • E-commerce

    Product catalogs, checkout, inventory, and payment processing.

  • Booking and scheduling

    Calendar systems, availability logic, and reminders wired into your tools.

  • Custom integrations

    CRM, EHR, practice software, MLS feeds, and anything with an API.

  • Photography

    We can direct or arrange a shoot when stock won't do your work justice.

  • SEO, social, and AI

    Separate services with their own scope. Bundled if you want more than one.

Common questions

Questions about cost.

How much does a website cost in Charleston, SC?+
It depends heavily on who you ask. Around Charleston, budget freelance work runs a few hundred to about $900, a typical small-business site from a local designer lands between $2,500 and $6,000, and fully custom agency builds commonly run $5,000 to $20,000 or more. E-commerce usually starts around $7,500. On top of that, most shops bill hosting and maintenance separately at roughly $50 to $150 a month. Our sites start at $199/mo all-in, with no design cost up front.
Why $199/mo instead of a big one-time fee?+
Because a website isn't a one-time purchase, and pretending otherwise is how business owners end up with a site that's three years stale and quietly broken. Hosting, security patches, backups, and small edits are ongoing work. Rolling the build and the care into one monthly number means the site stays current, and you never get an invoice for changing your hours.
What does “no design cost up front” actually mean?+
You don't pay a deposit or a design fee to start, and we don't bill you at all until your site is live and you've approved it. If we build it and you decide not to launch, you haven't paid us anything.
Is there a contract or a minimum term?+
We'll walk through the terms on the discovery call before anything is signed, and you'll have them in writing. No surprises, and nothing buried in fine print.
What would push the price above the starting number?+
Scope, mostly. E-commerce, booking systems, custom integrations with your CRM or practice software, unusually large page counts, or a photography shoot. We scope and quote those on the call so the number you hear is the number you pay.
Do you charge extra for hosting?+
No. Hosting, SSL, weekly backups, and security updates are all included. There's no separate hosting bill and no annual renewal to forget about.
What if I already have a website?+
Migrations are most of what we do, and they don't cost extra. We move your existing content, set up 301 redirects so you keep the search rankings you've built, and keep the old site running until the new one is ready.
Do you work with businesses outside Charleston?+
Yes. We're based in Charleston, SC, and we've built and managed sites for small businesses across the country since 2019. Pricing is the same wherever you are.
