Most studios make you sit through a call to find out if you can afford them. Work out your number below, and that’s what you pay — no hourly billing, no revised invoices, no surprises at the end.

Websites

Every site is designed and built by the same person. Prices start where they start because scope varies — the conversation is what turns a starting point into a fixed quote.

Site size Typical price Suits
1 page $1,300 A landing page or a single-page site
3 pages $2,300 A small business that needs the basics covered
5 pages $3,050 Home, about, services, one detail page, contact
7 pages $3,800 The most common shape — room for separate service pages
14 pages $5,800 Multiple services or locations, each with its own page
20+ pages $7,050+ A larger site, or one replacing something sprawling

Later pages cost less than early ones — the first few are where the design work happens, and by page twenty it’s assembly. Add-ons like an online store, a membership area or a location page system are priced on top. Build a full quote to see your own number with everything included.

In every build: Design, mobile and tablet layouts, a CMS you can edit yourself, forms wired up, hosting and DNS setup, basic on-page SEO, two revision rounds, full access and ownership on handover, and 30 days of post-launch support.

Build your whole quote in one go

Pick everything you need — site, video, design, one-off jobs, ongoing care — watch the total update as you go, and send it straight to me. You’ll have a confirmed fixed price back within one business day. Build a quote (takes about a minute, no obligation, no call required).

One-Off Jobs

Not everything is a project. Sometimes one thing is broken, or one thing needs building, and you don’t want a six-week engagement to get it done. These are fixed-price, usually turned around in a week, and there’s nothing to sign up for afterwards.

Job Description Price
Automation setup Connect the tools that should already be talking to each other — form to CRM, booking to calendar, order to spreadsheet, enquiry to email sequence. Built in Zapier or Make, tested end to end. Priced per workflow. $450
Form-to-CRM with source tracking Your enquiry form wired into your CRM with the source attached, so you can see which page or campaign produced each lead. $800
“My form emails aren’t arriving” Authenticated sending setup — SPF, DKIM and DMARC fixed, proven with a delivery test. $375

Site speed tune-up Image compression, caching setup, script cleanup. Before-and-after included. $550
Domain, DNS & email migration Moving hosts, changing email providers, or untangling old records. No downtime, no lost mail. $400
Logo file rescue Redraw a low-res logo as proper vector; full lockup set, favicon sizes, RGB/CMYK/Pantone specs. $650
Block of hours For anything that doesn’t fit a box — small fixes, a design tidy-up, edits to something I didn’t build. Unused hours stay on your account for six months. $550 for 4 hrs · $1,000 for 8

How one-offs work: Paid up front. Most are done within a week; I’ll tell you honestly if the queue means longer before you pay. If the job turns out bigger than described, I stop and tell you the real number before doing more — you can go ahead at the revised price or take a refund.

Ready to Build Systems

Need a customize plugin for your website.

System Description Price
Paid plugin replacement Replace a subscription plugin with a lighter custom build you own outright. Starting from $2,200
Something else entirely Describe what your site needs to do and I’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a small build, a big one, or something an existing plugin already does better. Quoted after a conversation

What “deployed and configured” covers: installation, setup for your content and branding, testing on your site, and a written note on how to use it. You own your deployment — the code sits on your site and is yours to keep.

Video & Motion

I work with footage you already have. No filming, no lighting, no sound recording — but everything that happens after that.

Service Description Price
Simple cut Clean single-source footage, light trimming, a title card and captions. Starting from $600
Standard edit Multiple sources, b-roll, titles and lower thirds, audio cleanup, music, captions, delivery in every format you need. Starting from $1,100
Graphics-heavy edit Custom motion graphics, animated sequences, data or process visualisation, kinetic type. Starting from $2,200

Motion graphics template system A reusable After Effects build your team can populate without opening a timeline. Includes a styling guide. Starting from $3,500
Titles, lower thirds & end cards A branded set you can reuse across everything you produce. Starting from $1,200

Brand & Graphic Design

Standalone, or bundled with a site or video project — bundling is usually cheaper than buying the pieces separately.

Service Description Price
Logo & identity system Three initial directions, two revision rounds, and the full file set: lockups, reversed and one-colour versions, clear space rules, RGB/CMYK/Pantone specs. Starting from $2,500
Logo refresh Redrawn and rebuilt as a proper file set — for a mark that mostly works but doesn’t hold up at small sizes or in print. Starting from $1,200
Brand guidelines The document that stops your brand drifting once other people start using it — type, colour, logo rules, application examples. Starting from $1,500
Marketing & social graphics A set of on-brand templates, or finished pieces produced to order. From $600 per set
Print collateral Brochures, flyers, cards, signage, trade show material — designed and prepped to your printer’s specs. From $450 per piece

Ongoing Care

The site is yours and you’re free to run it. But updates, backups, security and the constant small changes add up to a job nobody hired themselves to do. These plans hand that job back to me.

Plan Price What’s included
Essential $195/month The site stays healthy without you thinking about it. Core, theme and plugin updates tested before they go live. Weekly backups. Security and uptime monitoring. If something breaks, I fix it.
Standard $525/month, flat Everything in Essential, plus send me as much work as you like. New pages, content updates, design tweaks, a landing page for a campaign. One request at a time, turned around in two business days.
Partner $995/month, flat Everything in Standard, extended across web, graphic design and video. Two requests running at once, next business day turnaround, and a standing monthly call.

Flat monthly, not an hour allowance. You never watch a clock or wonder whether an email counts. Requests queue up and I work through them in order.

What counts as a request: anything I can turn around in about half a day — content and image updates, a new page using your existing layouts, design tweaks, a fresh graphic, a short video edit. Bigger pieces are quoted as projects, at a reduced rate because you’re already a client.

Pay annually and take 10% off. No long contract either way — 30 days’ notice and you’re out, and you keep everything. Pause any time if you have nothing for me for a couple of months; your slot in the schedule is held.

How the Money Works

Written down so there are no awkward conversations later.

  • Fixed quotes: after we’ve talked, you get a fixed price for a written scope — not an hourly estimate that grows. If the work turns out to take me longer, that’s my problem, not your invoice.
  • Deposit: 50% to start, 50% on delivery. The deposit reserves your slot in the schedule. Larger projects can be split into three or four payments across milestones.
  • Revisions: two rounds are included in every project. A round means one consolidated set of feedback, not a trickle over three weeks. Further rounds are quoted before they start.
  • Changes of scope: if you want something that wasn’t in the written scope, I’ll tell you what it costs before I build it. No surprise line items at the end.
  • Ownership: final files and full ownership transfer to you on final payment. Working files included on request. Nothing is held hostage.
  • Timelines: agreed before we start and honoured on my side. If content or feedback runs more than two weeks late, the timeline shifts and I’ll re-slot you around other commitments.

Questions People Actually Ask

Why does it say “starting from”?

Because a five-page site for a plumber and a five-page site with a booking system, a members’ area and three languages are not the same job. The starting price is a genuine floor for that type of work — most projects land within about 40% of it. After one conversation you get a fixed number, and it doesn’t move unless you ask for something new.

Which video tier am I?

Most business video is a Standard edit. You’re a Simple cut if the footage is clean, single-source, and mostly needs tidying. You’re Graphics-heavy if the animation is doing the explaining rather than decorating the edit. If you’re not sure, send me a few minutes of the footage and I’ll tell you which one it is before quoting.

What’s a discovery phase, and why does it cost money?

For anything genuinely custom, nobody can quote honestly without understanding what’s actually being built. Discovery is a paid piece of work — usually one to two weeks — that produces a written specification: what it does, how it works, what it will cost and how long it takes. You own that document. If you go ahead with me, the discovery fee comes off the build price. If you take the spec to someone else, that’s fine too — you paid for it.

Do I have to hire you for a whole project?

No. The one-off list exists precisely because sometimes one thing is broken or one thing needs building, and a six-week engagement is the wrong shape for that. Fixed price, paid up front, usually done inside a week, and nothing to sign up for afterwards.

Why are the ready-built systems cheaper than custom work?

Because the design, the architecture and the hard debugging already happened — on my time, on somebody else’s project. What you’re paying for is deployment, configuration for your content, testing, and it working on your site. Building the same thing from scratch would cost several times more and take weeks longer.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. The default is 50% up front and 50% on delivery, but larger projects are usually split across three or four milestone payments. Tell me what works and we’ll structure it.

Why do later pages cost less?

The first few pages are where the design work actually happens — the layout system, the type scale, the components every other page reuses. Once that exists, page twenty is assembly rather than design. So the per-page cost steps down as the count goes up: a one-page site works out around $1,300, seven pages around $3,800, and twenty pages around $7,000. A page that needs its own bespoke design or custom functionality is quoted separately, flagged before building anything.

What if I already have a designer, or a brand?

That’s easier, not harder. Send me what exists and I’ll build to it. Plenty of my work starts from someone else’s brand guidelines.

Do you work with agencies and other studios?

Yes — a good part of my work comes through other studios and agencies. It runs white label by default: I don’t contact your client, I don’t sign the work, and I don’t appear on calls unless you want me there. Agency rates are discounted against the pricing on this page, because you’ve done the finding, the scoping and the client management. Happy to sign an NDA and happy for the work to stay off my portfolio permanently.

How long does a site take?

A single page is usually two to three weeks. A business site is four to six. A custom build depends on what it has to do. The single biggest variable is how quickly content comes back — projects that stall are almost always waiting on copy or photos.

Do you charge for a first conversation?

No. The first call is free and there’s no obligation. If I’m not the right fit for what you need, I’ll say so.

Can you film for us?

No — I don’t shoot, light, or record audio. I work with footage you already have, and I handle everything after that: editing, graphics, audio cleanup, captions and delivery.

Can I update the site myself?

Yes. It’s a standard WordPress site and the CMS is straightforward. What I don’t offer is formal training. What I do offer is doing it for you — which is what the care plans are for.

Is a care plan really unlimited?

Unlimited requests, one at a time — two on Partner. Send me twenty things on a Monday; they queue and I work through them in order. If something is genuinely bigger than a half-day piece of work, I’ll tell you and quote it as a project rather than quietly letting it swallow your queue.

In the Right Ballpark?

Tell me what you’re working on and I’ll come back with a fixed number. If I’m not the right fit I’ll say so, and I’ll usually know who is. Start a conversation.
