How much does a low-cost website cost?

Honest answer: it depends on your business, so we don't publish one number. What we can promise is a single flat fee, quoted in writing after a free consultation, with no agency markup and no monthly retainer.

We're a student-led engineering team with low overhead, which is exactly why a small business website costs far less here than at a traditional agency. You own 100% of your website, code, and content, fully transferred to you at launch. No lock-in, no licensing fees.

No price tag, a written quote.

Every business is different, so pricing is custom-quoted after a free consultation. Here is exactly how you get to a number, before any work begins.

Step 1

Free consultation

Start with a free website and SEO audit and a short call. We learn your goals, customers, and the systems that would help most, at no cost and no obligation.

Step 2

Written scope and flat quote

You get a clear, written project scope and a single flat price before any work begins. Because every business is different, the quote is built around exactly what you need.

Step 3

Build and full ownership

You approve the quote, we build, and you own 100% of the site and code at launch. No monthly retainer to us, just your own domain and hosting going forward.

Low-cost, and clear before any work begins.

Low-cost AI websites and automation systems for selected local businesses, built by a student-led engineering team with low overhead.

The project fee is a single one-time payment (never a monthly retainer), agreed in writing before any work begins. You also pay only your own domain and hosting (~$25/month total), billed directly to you. You get a fixed quote on a short call, with no obligation.

  • A clear, written project scope and price before we start, no surprises.
  • A single one-time project fee, no agency markup and no monthly retainers to us.
  • You pay your own domain and hosting (typically ~$25/month total), billed directly to you.
  • You own 100% of your website, code, and content, fully transferred to you at launch. No lock-in, no licensing fees.
  • Most builds launch in 7-10 days.

Straight answers on cost.

Is this actually free?

No, we're low-cost, not free. You pay for your own domain and hosting (typically about $25/month total) plus a low, student-led project fee that we agree on before any work starts. There's no agency markup and no monthly retainer.

How does pricing work?

Every business is different, so we don't use one-size pricing. We start with a free consultation to understand your goals, then send a clear written scope and a flat project price. You approve it before we build anything, so there are no surprises. Because we're a student-led team with low overhead, that price sits far below a traditional agency.
