Pricing
Clear tiers. Honest add-ons.
Every website starts with a tier that fits the business model, then bolts on only the features you actually need. Fixed fees. No hourly surprises. No mystery quotes.
Website Tiers
Six tiers, one honest price for each.
Tier is a proxy for complexity and value, not just page count. Website type (business, store, personal brand, portfolio, etc.) is a separate dimension that shapes which pages the factory builds inside each tier.

How to read these prices: "Starting at" reflects the base build for a standard scope. Additional pages, custom illustration, e-commerce integrations, and add-ons (see below) shift the total. Every quote is fixed and written before any invoice — no hourly surprises.

Pricing Questions
Frequently asked, honestly answered
Q01.Is the "Starting at" price the price I'll actually pay?
It's the floor for a standard scope in that tier. If your intake calls for extra pages, custom illustration, an integration we haven't priced above, or an add-on from the section above, we quote the total in writing before any invoice. The number you see in the quote is the number you pay — no hourly surprises.
Q02.What's the deposit / payment structure?
50% deposit to kick off, 50% at approval before we hand over the source files or push you live. Rush jobs and Enterprise Tier VI engagements have milestone-based schedules written into the engagement letter.
Q03.Do you offer refunds if I don't like the build?
The 50% deposit is non-refundable once we begin the strategic pass — it covers the intake, research, and initial design work. Every project includes a revision round before final approval. If we can't make it work after that, we walk away with what's been earned and you keep everything produced so far.
Q04.Can I upgrade tiers mid-project?
Yes. If scope grows during the build, we amend the engagement letter with the delta (new pages, new features, new timeline) and continue. We never absorb scope creep silently — you'll always see the change in writing before we execute it.
Q05.Are there ongoing costs after launch?
Only the third-party services you choose: domain renewal (~$10–15/year to your registrar), hosting ($0 on free tiers, $5–20/mo managed), and optional business email ($0–$6/user/month). We don't lock you into a monthly Kaleidoscope subscription unless you specifically request a maintenance retainer.
Q06.What if I already have a website and just want a rebuild?
Most of our best engagements start from a partial draft. We audit what you have, keep what works, and rebuild only the parts that need it. Rebuild scope is priced against the tier it matches — often lower than a full new build because the intake goes faster.
