A defined build at a defined number
Web Design Packages
A web design package is a scoped website build at a number you know before any work starts. I'm Chad, and after 20 years of building websites I price them on what they win for your business, not by the line item. There are no surprise invoices and no retainer humming in the background: you see the full quote first, and that's the number on the final bill.
Packages, at a glance
Every package is the same craft. The number scales with scope, never with how much polish you deserve.
Projects start at a $3,200 floor and most land near $6,200 with design and development included.
The quote you approve is the invoice you get. Add nothing, and the number never moves.
Packages still get custom design. A defined scope means a defined size, not a template.
Why scoped packages exist
Most buyers don't want an estimate. They want a number.
Hourly sounds fair until the hours run long, and open-ended projects are how websites end up costing twice what anyone said out loud. A scoped package trades a little flexibility for certainty: a defined site, a real number, and a clean finish line.
Scope is decided together, before money moves. We settle what the site needs to do, which pages earn their place, and what gets cut without hurting the result. You approve the written scope, and that document is the deal.
Changes are handled like an adult conversation. If you add something mid-build, I tell you what it costs before I build it. Nothing new appears on an invoice that didn't appear in a conversation first.
And if your project genuinely doesn't fit a defined scope, I'll say so and point you at the hourly or custom route instead. A package forced onto the wrong project is how both sides end up unhappy.
How a package runs
- 01
Scope first, money second
We settle exactly what the site includes, in writing, before any payment. You know the full number and the timeline before you commit to either.
- 02
Design and build, one person
The same person designs it and codes it, so nothing gets lost in a handoff and nothing gets quietly simplified.
- 03
A real finish line
The package ends with a launch, not a fade-out. The site goes live, the accounts in your name, with two weeks of fixes included.
- 04
Additions priced before they happen
Want more later? You email me and I bill the work, with the number stated up front. No retainer, no surprise line items.
Where packages point
A package defines the size of the build. These decide the shape of it.
Proof, not promises
Scoped builds that shipped: walk through the live work and judge the craft yourself.
The full economics, stated plainly: the floor, the typical build, and how hourly works.
The three postures
The floor gets a focused site that does one job well. The typical build is where most businesses land: full design, development, and the launch handled. Past that, the number tracks the vision, and we scope it together. Hourly work bills at $315 when a defined package isn't the right shape.
Straight up: these are postures, not a menu. The real number comes from a real conversation about scope, and you'll have it in writing before anything starts.
Get a straight answerIs a package the right shape?
This is for you if
- You want the full number in writing before any work starts.
- Your project has a clear job and a clear finish line.
Probably not if
- The project is open-ended and still finding its shape. Hourly is honest there.
- You're shopping for the lowest number rather than a defined result.
Web Design Packages FAQs
The questions buyers ask about scoped builds, answered the way I'd answer them on a call.
Whatever the written scope says, which we settle together before you pay anything. A typical build includes the design, the development, the launch, and two weeks of free fixes after. If something matters to you, it goes in the scope, and the scope is the deal.
I tell you what it costs before I build it, and you decide. The original number never quietly grows. That rule exists because surprise invoices built this industry's reputation.
Usually, for a defined project. Hourly is for open-ended work, and open-ended work drifts. When a project has a clear shape, a package gets you a better number and a finish line. When it doesn't, I'll tell you hourly is the honest route.
No. The scope defines how big the site is, not how it gets made. Every package is custom designed and custom built, the same as the biggest project here.
Then I'm probably not your builder right now, and I'd rather say that here than waste your time. The floor exists because going under it means cutting the things that make the site worth building at all.
