Pricing
Just want a site? That's fine. I build it, you own it, and you can host it anywhere. Everything else on this page is optional, and you can add it later or never.
- Site Checkup $0
- Build from $1,500
- Hosting $39/mo
- Help $100/hour
- Monthly hours from $149/mo
First step: a Site Checkup
$0
30 minutes on a video call about where your site stands today, or about not having one. Afterwards you get a short written breakdown to keep: what works, what's costing you calls or bookings, what to fix first, and whether you need me at all. Use it with me, with someone else, or on your own. What the Site Checkup covers
Build your site
From $1,500
A finished site of about five pages, written with you, on your domain, with the basics Google needs to find you. You own all of it: the domain, the files, the words and photos. Take the files and host them anywhere, or host with me. The price is fixed before I start. Bigger sites (online booking, lots of pages, a store) get their own fixed quote.
Hosting
$39/month
I keep the site online, fast and secure. That covers hosting, HTTPS, backups, updates and a check that it's up. Cancel any time. Changes to the site aren't part of hosting; those are the next piece.
Help when you need it
$100/hour
Email me what you want changed. I send an estimate first, you say yes, and you pay for the time it took, billed in 15-minute steps ($25 each). Most jobs take under 2 hours.
What an hour gets you
Typical times. I estimate every job before I start, so you know the cost first.
| Task | Usually |
|---|---|
| Change text, prices, hours, a menu | 15-30 min |
| Swap photos or a homepage banner | 30 min |
| Holiday or sale promo banner | 30-60 min |
| Add a new page from your text and photos | 1-2 hours |
| Add a contact, booking or quote form | 1 hour |
| Upload and format a blog post you wrote | 30-60 min |
| Monthly visitor report from Google Analytics, in plain English | 30-45 min |
| Speed and mobile check with fixes | 1-2 hours |
| Update your Google Business Profile | 30 min |
| Add a new service or product section | 1-2 hours |
Writing a blog post for you is priced separately.
Monthly hours optional
For sites that change most months. You pay for hosting and a set of hours together, and it costs less than buying the same things separately.
| Compare | Steady$149/mo | Busy$279/mo |
|---|---|---|
| What's in it | hosting + 1.5 hours | hosting + 3.5 hours |
| Same thing bought separately | $39 + $150 = $189 | $39 + $350 = $389 |
| You save | $40 a month | $110 a month |
Only worth it if you make changes most months. If you change things a few times a year, hosting plus hourly is cheaper, and I'll tell you that when you ask. Unused hours don't roll over.
$0 down
If you'd rather not pay for the build up front, I build it for $0 down when you take Steady or Busy for 12 months. You own the domain from day one. The site files are yours after the 12 months, or any time you pay the rest of the build.
Small print, written plainly
- Paid builds have no term. Hosting and monthly hours go month to month.
- The 12-month term applies only to $0-down builds.
- Unused hours don't roll over.
What clients say about working with Vlad
Web Build Desk is new, so these come from clients of Vlad's photo, video and editing work at Core Visuals and The Lightroom Studio. Quoted as written.
“Lightroom has changed the way we think of video and marketing. Instead of only looking back to document what has happened, they also look forward to the message we want to send. Great to work with!”
“...Vlad was sure to understand what the desired outcomes looked like and delivered beyond our expectations. All edited photos were delivered in a timely manner.”
“From start to finish, Vlad understood what I was looking for and he knew all the right moments to capture.”
“I highly recommend Vlad to any industry professional seeking a reliable, skilled, and collaborative partner.”
“Vlad did a wonderful job of photographing our team! He made the process easy and the results are fantastic”
