Starter Website is for a business that needs a professional home online without paying for systems it does not yet need. The scope focuses on clear positioning, essential pages, mobile usability and direct enquiry routes.
Example direction: a focused service website with a clear mobile enquiry journey.

02Choose by need
Start with the business situation, then shape the scope.
The starting signal assumes a focused four-page website, supplied brand material and straightforward content. Extra page types, copywriting, booking logic, ecommerce, multilingual content or custom integrations are quoted separately before work begins.
This route usually fits
New businesses establishing a professional online presence
Local services moving beyond social-media-only discovery
Consultants or creators who need one credible link to share
Teams replacing a temporary one-page or DIY website
The work should create
01A clear explanation of what the business offers
02A mobile-first route from interest to enquiry
03A flexible page system that can grow later
04A clean handover with ownership of the finished website
03Working scope
What a starter website can include.

WhatsApp enquiry link
Contact form
Social and map links where relevant

Experience detailMobile is designed as the primary customer experience, not a reduced desktop page.
04How you can engage us
One-time build, monthly support or a phased route.
The commercial model follows the work. You do not have to accept a monthly agreement to commission a build, and ongoing work is defined with its own responsibilities and allowance.
Third-party subscriptions, hosting usage and advertising spend are identified separately from our professional fees.

07Before you choose
Questions about this pricing route.
The quote is the final source of truth for scope, cost, timing and responsibilities.
01Is $499 the final price for every Starter Website?
No. It is the entry signal for a focused four-page build with straightforward content and functionality. Your quote confirms the exact total before work starts.
02Can I add more pages later?
Yes. The structure is designed to expand. We can include extra pages in the initial quote or add them as a later phase.
03Do I have to pay monthly after launch?
No. Website care is optional. You can take ownership after handover or choose a monthly support agreement if you want us to maintain it.
Turn this starting point into your itemised quote.
Tell us the business problem, budget range and preferred timing. We will separate the essential build, optional upgrades and any sensible later phases.
