We're engineers first

Most web shops start with how a site looks. We start with what your business needs the site to do. Then we build for that.

Need something custom? We don't hire that out. We write the code ourselves, right here.

WordPress or hand-built - we pick what fits

Most sites do best on WordPress. You can edit it yourself, and it's easy to grow.

Some projects need more than WordPress can give. For those, we write the site by hand. We'll tell you which one fits your project, and why. Our advice never changes the price.

WordPress, or built by hand?

Nearly every project comes down to this one question. Here is how we answer it - and our answer never changes the price.

WordPress

Sites you can edit yourself - built right, and built to grow.

Pick this if:

  • You want to edit your own site without paying a developer each time
  • You want room to add pages, posts, or a store later
  • You've outgrown a DIY builder like Wix or Squarespace

Custom Development

When WordPress isn't enough, we write the code by hand.

Pick this if:

  • Your project needs features no plugin offers
  • Speed is a top priority for you
  • You tried a page builder and hit its limits

Not sure? That's normal - it's our call to make, and we'll tell you which one your project needs and why.

What it costs

Two ways in. Which one you need is usually clear in the first ten minutes of a call.

A new site, from the ground up

$2,200 typical starting price

  • SEO-first from day one - titles, schema, sitemaps, headings
  • A real page for every service you offer
  • Four to eight weeks, set by how fast words and photos come together
  • Yours to edit afterwards, and we show you how

Improving the site you have

$130 an hour

  • A four-hour block is often enough to make a real difference
  • We keep what works and rebuild what doesn't
  • Every old page mapped to its new home, so rankings move with you
  • We can usually cut your hosting bill while we're in there

Tell us what's wrong with it

If the up-front number is the problem, say so

Nobody needs $2,200 sitting in the bank to start. Three arrangements we have used, agreed case by case:

  • Split itPart at the start, the rest at launch.
  • Match what you pay nowRenting a website? We have matched that monthly rate and put it toward one you own.
  • Start smallerBuild the pages that earn first, add the rest once they have.

These are for established businesses with a trading history, not a published finance product - there is no rate on offer here. Ask on the call and we will tell you straight whether one fits.

More on making a proper site affordable

Sites we build can stay with us after launch - updates, backups, monitoring, and a real person to call. That one is priced to the site, so ask on the call. How website care works

Common questions

How long does a website take?

Most business sites take four to eight weeks. The biggest factor is how fast the words and photos come together. Bigger custom builds get their own timeline.

What does a website cost?

A full from-the-ground-up build typically starts at $2,200 - SEO-first, with a page for every service you offer. Improving an existing site bills at $130 an hour, and a four-hour block is often enough to make a real difference.

What if I can't pay for it all at once?

Ask us on the call. We have arrangements that have made a proper site workable for businesses without the cash up front - splitting the build across the project, or matching what someone was already paying in website rent until they own it outright. They are agreed case by case with established businesses, so there is no published rate.

Isn't there someone cheaper?

Almost always, and sometimes they are the right call - if you are brand new, or every customer comes by referral, a budget site beats overpaying. What a cheap site rarely comes with is the research and structure that make people find you. Add three years of monthly fees to a site nobody finds and the bargain usually disappears.

Do you work with businesses outside Aiken?

Yes. Aiken is home, but we work with clients across South Carolina, Georgia, and the Southeast.

Will I be able to edit the site myself?

On WordPress, yes - and we show you how. On hand-built sites, we agree up front which parts you need to change, and we make those easy to edit.
