How does a fixed quote work?
A fixed quote is one price for a clearly described scope. Before any work starts, you get a written list of pages and features, the total price and a launch date. If the scope stays the same, the price stays the same. That protects you from hourly bills that grow while a project drags on. It also makes both sides agree on exactly what “done” means before the first page is built.
What changes the price of a new site?
These are the things that move a quote up or down:
- Number of pages. More pages means more design and content work.
- Online sales. A store needs payments, shipping and testing.
- Custom features. Bookings, member areas or integrations add time.
- Content readiness. Having your text and photos ready saves money.
Is it cheaper to use a DIY builder?
At first, yes. Over a few years, often not. Builder plans renew every year, and the price tends to rise as you add features. A WordPress site you own has no platform fee. You pay only for hosting and any upkeep you choose.

Common questions
Why don't you list a price for a new website?
Because a five-page brochure site and a 60-product store are different jobs. Page count, online sales, bookings and how ready your content is all change the work. A short call lets us give you one fixed number instead of a vague range. You get that number in writing, with the scope and a launch date, before anything starts.
Do you charge by the hour?
No, not for projects. We quote a fixed price before we start, so the total can’t creep up while we work. If you ask for something new partway through, like an extra page or a booking system, we quote that addition first. Nothing new is built until you approve its price in writing.
Are there any ongoing fees besides hosting?
Your domain name renews each year with your registrar, usually in your own account. Some sites use paid plugins with their own yearly licences, such as a premium form or booking plugin. We list any of these in your quote, with their current prices. The WordPress software itself has no fee.
