What a Small Business Website Should Cost in Denver

A clean template build, five or so pages, your own copy and photos, mobile tested, tap-to-call and a working form. That is what our $499 starter is. It is the right choice for a business that needs to look credible and take calls, not one that needs custom software.

Custom design rather than template, professional copywriting, more pages, integrations like booking or CRM, and usually a longer timeline. Worth it when the site is your primary sales channel.

Custom functionality — e-commerce with complex catalogs, customer portals, quoting tools, multi-location systems. If nobody has explained what specific functionality justifies the price, the price is not justified.

Copywriting, photography, hosting, maintenance, SSL, and 'revisions beyond two rounds'. Get all of it itemized before you sign. A cheap build with expensive maintenance is not cheap.

The domain, in your name. The hosting account, or at minimum a full export. The site files. If a builder holds your domain hostage, changing vendors becomes a negotiation instead of a decision.

A five-page local site should take about two weeks, and the delay is almost always waiting on the owner for photos and content. Anyone quoting four months for a brochure site is managing a queue, not building your site.
