Custom Website Build

A website built around your business, not just a design brief.

For businesses that need more than a reformat: new pages, new content, a bigger structure. Starting at $2,500, with a partner who stays involved after launch.

The real cost

A weak website costs more than you think.

It is not just that it looks dated. The real cost is harder to see. A rebuild can fix all of it, or be expensive and disappointing if it is treated as cosmetic rather than as an investment.

  • Qualified prospects who visit and leave without inquiring.
  • A message that no longer matches what your company actually does.
  • Search rankings drifting down because the technical foundation was never right.
  • Content that reads like it was written by committee.
  • No clear way to tell which of these is costing you the most.
How we approach it

We design around business outcomes, not visual preferences.

Most website projects begin with "what do you want it to look like?" We begin differently.

  1. Strategy before design.

    Before we open a design tool, we understand your customers, your competitors, and what your website needs to accomplish. The free preview shows you the direction before a single dollar changes hands.

  2. Content that says something.

    Many agencies outsource copy or fill pages with placeholder text. Writing is our strongest capability. Your site launches with real content, written to demonstrate expertise, support search visibility, and move prospects toward a conversation.

  3. Search built in from day one.

    Technical SEO, content structure, page speed, mobile performance, and schema markup are not "Phase 2" items. They're part of the build.

  4. Conversion thinking throughout.

    Every page has a job. We design information architecture and user paths around what you need visitors to do.

  5. Measured from launch.

    Analytics, conversion tracking, and Search Console are configured before the site goes live.

  6. Supported after launch.

    We don't disappear. Website Care keeps your site healthy. Search Growth builds visibility over time. You have a partner, not a former vendor.

What is included

Everything a website needs. In one build.

Six disciplines, one team, one price. Nothing here is a Phase 2 add-on.

Strategy & Discovery

Market and competitive review. User journey mapping. Sitemap and information architecture. Content strategy and planning.

Design

Custom visual design system. Page layouts for every template. Mobile, tablet, and desktop experiences.

Development

Clean, modern development. Responsive across all devices. Accessible. Fast.

Content

All page copy written by our team. Not outsourced, and not placeholder text. Strategic content that reflects your expertise.

Technical SEO

Site architecture. Page speed optimization. Schema markup. XML sitemap. Everything search engines need.

Analytics & Measurement

GA4 setup. Conversion tracking. Search Console verification. You'll know what's happening from day one.

After launch

What happens after launch matters as much.

Most agencies deliver a website and move on. Six months later it is slower and nobody is tracking it. We hand your site on to the care it needs. You do not have to become a website manager. That is our job.

Common questions.

How is this different from Website Remediation?

Remediation ($497, fixed) reformats your existing content into a new layout. Up to 5 pages, one reference site, and no new copy. A Custom Build is for when you need more than a reformat: new pages, new content, a bigger structure. If you're not sure which one you need, start with the free preview and we'll tell you honestly.

How long does it take?

Most projects: 3–6 weeks. Larger builds with more pages and integrations: 6–10 weeks. Timeline depends on scope, content readiness, and feedback cadence.

What platform do you build on?

We select the platform based on your needs, not on what happens to be convenient. We'll recommend the right approach during strategy and discovery.

What does the starting price include?

Custom Website Builds start at $2,500 and include strategy, design, development, page copy, technical SEO, and analytics setup. The final quote depends on the number of pages, content needs, and integrations. We agree the scope and price before the build begins.

Do I need to write all the content myself?

No. Page copy is included in the build. We need your input on your services, customers, and what makes your business different, plus any useful photos or existing materials. We turn that into clear website content for you to review.

Can you keep my existing domain and search visibility?

Yes, we can build around your existing domain. For a replacement site, we review existing pages and plan redirects where URLs change. Search performance can fluctuate after a rebuild, so we verify the migration and monitor the new site rather than promise that rankings will never move.

Can the website connect to booking tools or other systems?

Yes. Tell us about the tools your business relies on during discovery. We assess the integration, include the agreed work in the proposal, and identify any separate software subscriptions before you commit.

What happens after the website launches?

We test the site, verify the migration, and make sure analytics are working at launch. Ongoing maintenance is available through Website Care. Search Growth and Content & Authority can build on the new foundation when you are ready; we agree those services separately.
