What is the cheapest cost to make a website?

We charge a flat rate of $50/hour, which is genuinely one of the lowest agency rates you’ll find (seriously… plenty of agencies charge $200–$300/hour). So, if you’re looking for a small microsite with under 5 pages, you can usually get it done for under $4,000 with us.

Do I have to make the entire payment upfront?

You don’t have to. You can either pay the full amount upfront or choose a monthly payment plan. This gives you flexibility based on what works best for your budget.

Can ChatGPT design a website?

ChatGPT can help you plan a website, write content, or brainstorm ideas — but it can’t design, build, or launch a real, functioning site. You still need an experienced developer and designer to create something stable, secure, and optimized. Think of AI as a helpful assistant, not a replacement for affordable website design & development or real-world expertise.

Is it cheaper to DIY website design?

Unless you’re an expert designer or marketing professional, a DIY website won’t deliver the same kind of results. While hiring an agency may cost more upfront, the long-term return on investment makes it worthwhile. A great website pays for itself by helping your business grow, and that’s exactly what we deliver.

How often should a website be redesigned?

Most businesses redesign their website for a few common reasons — it looks outdated, competitors offer better features, the site no longer meets industry standards, there’s a rebrand, it loads slowly, or it simply isn’t converting. If you already have a solid site, you don’t need a full redesign every few years; consistent updates and fresh content can keep things performing well. That said, digital trends, SEO standards, and user expectations evolve fast, so it’s important to have a site that can grow and expand on the structure you already have.

How much should a 10 page website cost?

Is paying someone to do SEO worth it?

Yes! Paying someone to do SEO is absolutely worth it if you care about long-term traffic, higher rankings, and leads that don’t depend on ads. Good SEO compounds over time, but only when it’s done correctly. A professional makes sure you’re not wasting money on tactics that don’t work and that your strategy actually aligns with how people search. While it does require some upfront investment, proper SEO continues to drive revenue long after the work is done, making it one of the most cost-effective marketing channels you can invest in.
