Red Isle WebA website for $1,000, without the monthly fee
My websites start at $1,000, paid once, with hosting included. Help with changes is optional, so you can choose what you need after the build.
Transparent pricing has always been important to me, because I want you to know what you're getting for the price you pay. There are too many industries where surprise added fees are normal, including web design and marketing. I post my prices so you can decide in advance what makes the best sense for your business.
You don't pay anything until it's built
I build the whole site first, using your photos and your own words. If you want it, it goes live and that's when you pay. If you don't, you've spent nothing. No deposit, at any price.
Your first draft is done within three business days.

When your free changes are up
Pay $50 for a batch of changes whenever something comes up, or cover the whole year with one payment. None of it is required, and your site stays online either way.
One batch per month
$125 per year
- Twelve batches over the year
- Changes back within 3 business days
One batch per week
$250 per year
- Fifty-two batches over the year
- Changes back within 3 business days
Unlimited
$500 per year
- Send changes whenever you like, as many as you like
- A monthly once-over of the site, so nothing sits out of date
- Changes back within 3 business days
A batch is one list of changes sent together, whether that's a single typo or a dozen photos and new hours.
Pay as you go
$50 per batch
A text edit, a new photo, updated hours or prices, a staff change, a typo. Send them over together and it's $50 for the batch, however many are in it. I'll have it back to you within 3 business days. Nothing running in the background for months when nothing needs changing.
Bigger work
Quoted first
New pages, a redesign, online booking, a store added later. Anything that's a project rather than a tweak gets a written number from me before I start, so there are no surprises on the bill.

Questions people ask
How long does it take?
Your first draft is done in three business days. Once you send me your photos and details, I build it and show it to you within three business days of getting what I need. After that it's down to your edits, so the sooner you send them back, the sooner it goes live.
Not sure how your site is doing?
Run my free website check. Add your web address and I'll email you a short report on how your site looks to Google, with what's working and what could be better. It's free, and there's no obligation.
Who owns the website?
You do. The web address is registered in your name (it runs about $15 a year, paid to the registrar, not to me), and the site itself is set up in your own account. If we ever part ways, everything stays with you.
I don't have a web address. Is that a problem?
Not at all, most businesses I talk to don't. Picking one and registering it in your name is part of the build, and I'll walk you through it in a few minutes.
Which package do I need?
Count your pages and photos. Five pages and 25 photos or fewer is Get Online. Up to eight pages and 75 photos, or if you want your Google listing optimized and blog posts written, is the Standard Bundle. A page for every job, a long menu, or a couple hundred photos is the Premium Bundle. If you sell online, a store with up to 50 products is the Standard Bundle, and more than 50 is the Premium Bundle.
What counts as a small change?
Anything I can do in one sitting: swap a photo, update your hours or prices, add a staff member, fix wording, adjust a section. It can also be a few of these together, like three new photos and updated hours, as long as it comes to me as one list of changes. If a request is bigger than that, I'll say so and quote it before touching anything.
Is there government money for this?
Possibly. Innovation PEI's Small Business Assistance Program reimburses 50% of eligible professional fees to a maximum of $2,500, so that's $500 back on a $1,000 build and up to $1,250 on the $2,500 bundle. A few things to know: it's a reimbursement, so you pay the full invoice first and claim it after, and the application has to go in before you commit to the work. Whether your project qualifies is Innovation PEI's call, not mine, so treat it as a bonus rather than a sure thing. I'll give you the written quote you need to apply, and you can reach Innovation PEI at 902-368-6300.
Do you build online stores or booking systems?
Yes. A store with up to 50 products is part of the Standard Bundle at $1,500, and a store with more than 50 is the Premium Bundle at $2,500. The store platform and card processing fees are separate, and you pay those directly. Booking systems are quoted separately.
