We design and build websites that bring in customers, not science projects you have to babysit. The people who build your site are the people you talk to, start to finish.
Design, build, and ongoing care under one roof. No page-builder bloat, nothing to replace in two years.
You approve an estimate before we start, and anything beyond it gets quoted first. Everything we make is yours to keep: code, content, accounts.

Website cost calculator
Put a number on an outdated website.
Tick what sounds like your site and add three numbers you already know. You'll see roughly how many inquiries, jobs and dollars it lets slip away each month. Every figure behind the math comes from public research, listed under the calculator.
How we got this number
Each thing you tick costs a share of the inquiries your site would otherwise bring in. Public research puts a low and a high figure on each one, listed here with its source.
- Leaks compound, they don't add up. Two leaks of 20% cost 36%, not 40%.
- The total is capped at 50%. Pages at the top of the middle half in Unbounce's 2024 benchmark convert about twice as well as the median. So however much you tick, we never claim a better site would more than double the inquiries you get now.
- Your inquiries are what's left after the leaks, so we work backward: missing inquiries = your inquiries × share ÷ (1 − share).
- Missing inquiries × your close rate = jobs. Jobs × your average job = revenue.
We run it once with every low figure and once with every high one. That is the range you see. Where no public study puts a number on something, we say so and leave it out of the math instead of guessing. It is an estimate built on public research and your inputs, not a promise of results.
- It's slow on a phone5% to 12%
In a randomized test, Vodafone's slower landing page brought about 13% fewer leads per visitor. Portent's data from 14 B2B lead-generation sites shows conversion falling from 34% at 2 seconds to 24% at 4 seconds. We take 10% to 25% of phone visitors, and phones are 49% of US web traffic.
Vodafone A/B test, web.dev, 2021Portent, 2022StatCounter, US mobile share, Sep 2026 - It's hard to use on a phone5% to 8%
In BrightLocal's surveys of US consumers, 12% (2015) to 17% (2019) said a site that doesn't work well on mobile makes them less likely to use a local business, and 60% prefer to phone a local business. We apply that 12% to 17% to phone visitors only, about half of all visitors, and round down.
BrightLocal, 2019BrightLocal, 2015StatCounter, US mobile share, Sep 2026 - It looks like it was built years ago5% to 15%
In a survey of 2,008 US adults, 38% said they stop engaging with content whose layout or images look unattractive. A survey answer is not the same as leaving, and many of your visitors already know your name, so we count well under half of that.
Adobe, The State of Content, 2015 (archived copy) - Your reviews aren't on the site2% to 10%
Across 3,600+ online stores, visitors who were shown reviews converted 19.8% more often (1.9% to 47.3% depending on the category). Most local buyers read your Google reviews before they reach your site, so we count about 60% of that effect at most.
PowerReviews, 2022BrightLocal, Local Consumer Review Survey, 2026 - Browsers warn visitors about it12% to 33%
Since October 2026, Chrome asks first-time visitors for permission before it opens a site without a secure connection. At Chrome's full-page security warnings, 30% to 62% of people turn back. Chrome is 54% of US browsing, and we assume 80% to 100% of the people who find you are first-time visitors. Other browsers only show a small "Not secure" label, which we count as zero. Multiplied out and rounded down, that is 12% to 33%.
Google Chrome, Oct 2026Akhawe and Felt, 2013Felt et al., 2015StatCounter, US browser share, Sep 2026 - Plugins and security updates are behindRisk, not counted
In 2025, 91% of new WordPress vulnerabilities were in plugins, and the most attacked ones were exploited within a median of 5 hours. That is a risk to the whole site, not a share of inquiries, so it stays out of the dollar figure.
Patchstack, State of WordPress Security, 2026 - Nobody has tested the contact form lately1% to 3%
Leadferno sent messages through 225 small-business contact forms and found 4.8% broken. Depending on the trade, forms carry roughly 20% to 60% of inquiries. A form that is actually broken puts that whole share at risk; spread across all forms it comes to 1% to 3%.
Leadferno, 2024Ruler Analytics, 2026BrightLocal, 2019 - One page tries to cover everything2% to 15%
Local search experts rank a dedicated page for each service as the #1 factor for showing up in local organic results, and 72% of people look at three or fewer businesses before choosing. No study measures the inquiries this costs, so the range is our estimate: pages missing for a fifth to half of what you sell, organic search bringing 30% to 60% of your inquiries, and the clicks lost by ranking one to three places lower.
Whitespark, Local Search Ranking Factors 2026BrightLocal, Consumer Search Behavior, 2026Backlinko, Google CTR study, 2025 - AI assistants don't mention you2% to 10%
23% of US consumers used an AI tool in their most recent search for a local business, but only 18% of them were ready to contact the business it recommended without checking further. On Google, AI answers appear on only about 5% of searches for a local service. That puts the loss at a few percent today, 10% at most.

What you get:
- 01A competitor comparison
- 02Three priority fixes, ranked
- 03What's already working
Straight answers
The questions owners actually ask.
How much does a website cost?
We price by the hour, but you never get an open-ended bill. We estimate the whole project up front, you approve one number, and that's the price. If you want to add something later, we quote it and you approve it before we start. See pricing →
How long does it take?
It depends on scope - we'll give you a realistic timeline with your estimate, and we hold to it. We won't promise a number we can't keep just to win the job.
Who actually builds my site?
A senior team. The people who scope it are the people who build it. No bait-and-switch to juniors after you sign.
Do I own the site?
Yes - fully. Code, content, domain, accounts. You're never locked in, and you can leave with everything.
What if I just need a few things fixed?
Start with a free website audit. We'll tell you what's worth fixing and what isn't - no pressure to do a full rebuild.
Do you stick around after launch?
Yes. That's what our care plans are for. And even without one, we don't disappear.
