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.

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.
- 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.
