Start with the full budget
The build, ongoing care and outside tools are different costs. Compare the agreed work, not a page-count label.
What the build pays for
Planning the page structure, writing from approved business facts, design, responsive development and testing all take work. Confirm who supplies accurate facts, photos and approvals, and which features and contact paths will be built.
Web Respawn’s current pricing
A standard agreed-scope business website is $1,000 one-time. Pages, content and features are confirmed before work. New builds require Website Care at $199/month from launch for an initial 12 months. That is a $3,388 first-year minimum before optional services and outside costs.
What Care covers
Hosting, software and security updates, support and up to 30 minutes of routine changes each month. Unused time does not roll over. The Care allowance covers routine changes to existing content.
What changes the scope
Check the agreed pages, content responsibilities and website functions before work starts. Ask which outside subscriptions are needed and who will pay those providers.
Search setup is not ongoing SEO
A build can include descriptive titles, meta descriptions, relevant internal links, a sitemap and launch checks. Ongoing Local SEO is a separate $400/month service: one prioritized improvement and a monthly update/report for a suitable editable site. Rankings, inquiries and sales are not guaranteed.
Questions to ask before agreeing
What are the deliverables? Who writes and approves the content? What happens after launch? Which recurring costs and commitments apply? What is excluded? Get the answers and scope in writing. Existing signed agreements remain in effect.
