Let’s say you need a new website.
You Google around. You check Fiverr. You stumble across WPBeginner Services. Then you get our quote and your jaw hits the floor.
“Wait… $6,000? That other guy said $750. And WPBeginner does it for less than 2K.”
Totally fair reaction.
The world is full of “affordable website design” offers—but what that actually means depends on who’s building it.
But here’s the part most people don’t realize until later:
You’re not comparing the same thing.
Budget isn’t the problem. Confusion is.
Let’s get this out of the way first:
We’re not anti-budget.
We’ve built plenty of streamlined sites for $1,500–$2,000 when that’s the right scope. Usually it’s a sharp landing page, not a full-blown custom build.
But what we can’t do is build a 5–10 page custom site, with:
- Thoughtful design and layout
- Real mobile optimization
- Copy that actually tells your story
- WordPress development (not a template drag-and-drop)
- Hosting, support, and long-term help
…all for $1,800.
That’s not about greed. That’s about math.
Here’s what you’re really buying
If you’re hiring someone from Fiverr or WPBeginner’s package deals, you’re likely paying for:
- A prebuilt theme
- Generic content areas
- A handful of revisions (if that)
- And a quick handoff once the files are done
You might get lucky. But it’s transactional. There’s no real relationship, no one to call when something breaks, and no strategy behind what’s being built.
We’re not WPBeginner. Or Fiverr. Or one of those services that spins up a $299 template and vanishes when you need help. That’s not a knock on them—they serve a purpose. But if you’re comparing us to one of those setups, you’re not comparing the same thing.
With us, you’re paying for:
- A real discovery process
- A team that learns your brand
- Custom design (not a template refresh)
- Development that fits your business goals
- A partnership that doesn’t disappear after launch
One’s a sprint. The other’s a build.
If your last site sucked—this might be why
We’ve seen it a hundred times.
A client tries DIY. Or they hire a $1,200 “developer” overseas. Or they go with the cheapest quote in the inbox.
Then six months later, we get the call.
- “My contact form’s not working.”
- “Our homepage doesn’t say what we do.”
- “I can’t get ahold of the person who built it.”
- “It looks weird on phones.”
We’re not throwing shade. Everyone has a budget. But this is the part no one tells you:
Most of our clients come to us after trying to go cheap.
Not because they’re clueless—but because no one ever explained the difference.
A Quick Analogy
Hiring a $500 website team is kind of like hiring your cousin’s roommate to photograph your wedding because “she just got a new iPhone.”
Sure, she shows up. She points the phone at things. You get 800 slightly crooked photos with no editing and a thumb in half the shots.
Now compare that to a real photography studio:
- They meet with you first to learn what matters most.
- They scout the venue. Bring backup gear. Plan the lighting.
- They shoot, edit, deliver, and back up the files.
- And they’ll still answer the phone a year later if something goes wrong.
Same with web. You’re not just paying for the final product—you’re paying for the process, the planning, and the people who stick around when things get weird.
So what can $1,500–$2,000 get you?
If affordable website design is your goal, we’ll tell you exactly what that budget can realistically do with our team:
- A clean, professional landing page
- Built on WordPress (no code traps)
- Simple branding, clear messaging
- Option to grow later as your business does
We won’t sell you a 10-page dream and leave you with a clunky mess. We’ll start where you are, and build something solid.
That’s the key: honest scope for honest money.
We don’t disappear after launch
Here’s something a lot of folks don’t think about until it’s too late:
Your site will need updates. It’ll need fixes. Things will break. SEO will change. Bots will spam your forms.
If you paid someone once on Upwork or Fiverr, they’re gone.
We’re still here.
Our Partnership Plan gives you real support, real hosting, and real maintenance. So you don’t have to panic at 10pm because a plugin crashed your homepage. We don’t nickel and dime. And we never bounce you around to outsourced support desks.
That’s part of what you’re paying for, too.
What your time is worth
One last thing to consider:
Even if you can build your own site on Squarespace or Weebly—should you?
Ask yourself:
- How many hours will it take you to get it right?
- What happens when something breaks?
- Are you writing the copy? Choosing the layout? Testing on mobile?
- What’s your time worth in dollars?
Because if your time is worth even $40/hour, and you spend 50 hours on your site, you just “paid” $2,000 to do it yourself. And you still don’t have support.
We’re not the cheapest—and we’re not trying to be
We’re the team people come to when cheap didn’t cut it.
When they’re ready for something strategic, thoughtful, and solid.
When they want to get it right, not just get it done.
If your budget today is limited, that’s okay. We’re not offended.
Start where you are. And when you’re ready for more—we’ll be here.
We stay affordable—on purpose
We’re committed to keeping our services affordable without cutting corners—which is why so many people trust us when they’re ready to move beyond the usual “affordable website design” shortcuts. No, we’re not the cheapest—and we’re also not the most expensive (by a long shot).
In fact, we provide white-label services for many large marketing agencies that charge far more than we do. And you know what? That’s okay too—because just like we said at the beginning, you’re not comparing the same thing.
With us, you’re working with a boutique agency focused on clean design, smart development, and long-term support. With some of our partner agencies, you might also get more layers of marketing strategy—things like PPC, paid media, content campaigns, and so on.
It all depends on what you need. But if you’re looking for a clear, custom site built by a local team that cares—you’re in the right place.
Want something that lasts?
Let’s talk. We’ll tell you exactly what we can do within your range—no false promises, no jargon.
And if the scope’s not a fit? We’ll still help you think through the best path forward.
👉 Book a call and we’ll map it out together. No chaos. No drama. Just real people, real work, and real support.
