Web Design Pricing

Every project is different, so every project gets its own quote: a fixed price, in writing, before any work starts. No hourly meter, no surprises.

How a quote is put together

After a short conversation about your business and what the site needs to do, you receive a plan and a fixed price. The main things that drive cost:

• Size: how many pages and how much content needs writing or moving
• Design: a fresh custom design, or an update of what you have
• Functionality: online store, booking, memberships, integrations with other tools
• Content: whether you supply text and photos or need them created
• Timeline: a standard schedule or a rush

What is always included

• A custom, mobile-friendly design built on WordPress, that you own
• SEO foundation: page titles, headings, structured data, sitemap, and redirects from your old site
• A private staging site where you review everything before launch
• An editing walkthrough so you can update the site yourself
• A one-year warranty on all work

Ongoing work

Maintenance, SEO and automation are usually monthly arrangements, so the site keeps improving after launch. See Site Care, SEO and AI search and AI automation.

Prefer a fixed-price package or a monthly plan?

Company Chicago Inc. is my own company, which I have run since 2010. Its standard packages and monthly plans have published prices. See packages and prices at Company Chicago.
