Any Other Costs? (yes)
If we’re building a new website, you’ll want to add about $225 for a Squarespace license and domain (or domain transfer)
You may have your own photos and images, but if not (or if they need updating), factor in $200 for image (photo) licensing; larger sites will require more images (with the option for video creation)
And that’s it. In a nutshell.
How much does a new website cost?
Website Design - Thinking Aloud
The Cost Difference
The websites that I design compete with the big-guys at a fraction of an ad-agency’s fee; because sometimes you need an entire design staff, and sometimes you don’t.
The websites I create are also different from the $99 discount-provider whose fill-in-the-blank approach gives you an operable site, but without customization or optimization.
Your website deserves business integrations aligned with your specific challenges, an appearance that’s all-you, customized & captivating, as well as the metadata needed to create a high-functioning, high-performing, search-engine-optimized site.
When we work together, you’ll get to watch your site as it’s created and you’ll be able to provide as many updates and modifications as you want throughout your design-process.
That means that the end result will be custom tailored to your business and the outcomes you’ve been dreaming about.

Your Website - How can I help?
Take a quick second to fill out the Website Design Form and we can talk.
Once you schedule your time, you won’t share it with other clients. I’m totally yours, devoted to your site and your project for the duration of your design-time.
Creating websites that boost your presence and bottom line thrills me.
This year, when a PROLIFERATE client told me they hit their year-end goals in July, I was elated!
And, when a COLLABORATE client’s website helped them to overcome a major business obstacle and double their bottom line, I was ecstatic.
I love creating websites that get you to your business goals!
