Pricing & Payment
Real numbers, a real payment structure, and what actually keeps the timeline real.
Pricing Table
| Tier | Price | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| Professional / About-Me | $1,500 | 3-5 business days* |
| Therapist / Mental Health Practice | $2,500 | 1-2 weeks* |
| Small Business | $4,500 | 2-3 weeks* |
The price difference tracks real scope, not perceived value: page count, compliance requirements, and local-SEO build-out all increase from Professional through Small Business. See each tier's page for the specific deliverables behind its price.
*Turnaround ranges are confirmed, contingent on timely client responses and review at each milestone — see "Built in Days or Weeks" below for how that works.
How Payment Works
Every project splits into three even payments:
- 1/3 due to start — secures your project slot, covers Discovery through Wireframes.
- 1/3 due after styling is approved — you've seen and signed off on the fully designed (visually complete, content-light) site before the content-heavy final push begins.
- 1/3 due after final sign-off -- triggers file handover and go-live. Two things happen at once: files hand over to your own GitHub and Cloudflare accounts, and the site goes live.
Ownership transfers with that final payment — clean, and something you can plan around.
Built in Days or Weeks — Not Months
This is a scoped project with a real end date, not an open-ended retainer relationship. Website projects have a reputation for dragging on — and it's usually not the build work itself that does it, it's unbounded feedback and creeping scope. Here's what actually keeps the promise real:
- Scope locks at wireframe approval. The pages and sections are fixed once wireframes are signed off — before Scaffolding begins, and notably before the second payment (which is tied to styling approval). That gap is deliberate: scope is locked well before you're asked to pay again, so you're never approving payment against a moving target.
- One consolidated round of feedback per phase. Feedback is gathered once per phase (Sitemap, Wireframes, Styling, Content) rather than an open, rolling back-and-forth.
- Your response time counts against the timeline, not against us. If a review sits past its window, the quoted turnaround pauses with it — a slow response doesn't read as a broken promise on our end.
- Anything past locked scope becomes a separate, quoted addition — see "Support vs. Complex Work" below — rather than quietly dragging out the original build.
*Response window at each milestone: 24 hours (Professional), 48 hours (Therapist), or 72 hours (Small Business). A slot may be rescheduled if that window passes without a response.
Ongoing Support
Therapist & Small Business tiers: $25/mo — covers ongoing minor updates after launch (see below for exactly what that means).
Professional tier: The Professional/About-Me tier doesn't include a retainer. The build is a one-time project with a clear end date.
Support vs. Complex Work
Support (covered by the $25/mo retainer): text edits (hours, prices, staff bios), photo swaps, broken-link fixes, minor copy tweaks, adding/removing a single review, small data-file updates (a phone number, a small service-list tweak).
Complex work (billed separately, quoted per request): new pages, new service-area pages, design/redesign work, new integrations (booking systems, forms, analytics), structural navigation changes, anything that touches the data-file schema itself rather than its values.
The simple version: if it's a value in a file, it's support. If it's a new page or a new feature, it's a project.
FAQ
What if my project needs more than what's listed for my tier? That becomes a quoted addition, discussed on the discovery call or flagged during Wireframes — it doesn't quietly expand the original scope or timeline.
Do you offer financing or payment plans? Not currently — payment follows the three-milestone structure above.
