Pricing

What a website really costs — and what we charge.

We don't hide behind "contact us for a quote". Below is what everyone else charges, straight from their own pricing pages and published industry surveys, next to our one-time price. Ours is quoted from the actual scope of your job — pages, services, photos, bookings, payments — so you never pay for work you don't need.

The going rate, side by side

Every figure links to where it came from. Prices change — these were checked on August 6, 2026, and builder plan prices vary by region, term length and renewal rate.

Why our price is lower — not cheaper

The crossed-out price is what the same scope typically costs from a freelancer or agency: they bill for every page, every photo, every round of copy. Our AI-assisted workflow keeps our delivery cost to about 10% of what we charge — a 90% gross margin — so we can price well below the market and still run a profitable business. You get the same finished site; we just skipped the overhead.

Questions about price

Why isn't there one flat price?
Because a one-page site for a mobile barber isn't the same job as a five-page site for a two-location contractor. We ask about your pages, services, photos, bookings and payments during the interview, then quote from that. You see the exact number before you pay anything.
What's included in the price?
Design, all the writing, your logo and photos placed, mobile layout, search-ready titles and descriptions, hosting, and your site live on startyourpage.com. Edits are included for the first 30 days.
What is SEO, and is it included?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization — basically the things that help your business show up when someone searches for what you do on Google. Every site we build includes the basics: a clear page title and description for each page, proper headings, mobile-friendly layout, and fast code. The Standard and Complete packages add more depth (more pages, image alt text, and richer markup). SEO is not a guarantee you'll rank #1; it puts you in the best position to be found over time.
Do I pay before I see anything?
No. You go through the interview, we build three complete versions of your site, and you look at all three. Payment only happens after you've picked the one you want.
Is it cheaper than hiring someone?
For most small businesses, yes — freelancers and agencies bill in the thousands per project, and DIY builders bill you every month forever while leaving the work to you. Our quote is one-time.
