How custom-coded stacks up against the big platforms.
Most small businesses comparing us to WordPress, Wix, Squarespace,
Webflow, or Shopify benefit from seeing the side-by-side breakdown
on performance, SEO, lock-in, and total cost of ownership.
For "how do you actually do this?" questions, see the
services FAQ.
Two pieces. (1) The one-time website build ($1,500–$5,000, scoped per project) — or finance it as a 24-month lease-to-own. (2) A required monthly Hosting & Maintenance tier: Foundation $150, Growth $300, or Authority $600. The website includes a custom AI chatbot at no extra cost. Cancel any monthly service with 30 days notice. For a deep walkthrough of what each service actually does, see the services page.
We only host sites we build, and every site needs ongoing maintenance to stay secure, fast, and current. Bundling them means we know exactly what infrastructure your site runs on and how to fix things when something breaks. Foundation ($150/mo) is intentionally affordable to make the mandatory tier a low barrier.
The cards above list the headline differences. For the full feature list of each tier (the security + monitoring + chatbot tuning that's in EVERY tier, plus the tier-specific work), the deep-dive is on the services page.
For builds $2,500 and up: $500 one-time setup at signing + (cash price ÷ 24) per month for 24 months, on top of your chosen Hosting tier. So a $3,000 build becomes $500 + $125/month for 2 years. Site code remains our property until paid in full (your domain and data are always yours). Full terms: terms of service.
Those are quoted separately based on scope. Typical range $8,000–$30,000+, depends on what you're building. See the services page for the categories we take on and the portfolio for three live examples.
Yes — anytime with 30 days written notice. Stripe handles proration automatically on the next invoice. Your website is untouched; only the ongoing service level changes. If you're on a Lease-to-Own, the lease payment is a separate subscription and is NOT affected by hosting tier changes.
We don't offer hosting, chatbot, or Local SEO services for sites we didn't build. If your existing site is broken/slow/outdated, the path is to rebuild it (start with the free audit). If it's working fine and you don't want a rebuild, we're not the right shop — and we'll tell you straight.
Credit card and ACH bank transfer via Stripe for all charges. One-time builds: pay in full at launch, OR split 50/50 (50% deposit at signing, 50% on launch). Monthly services bill on the same monthly anniversary they started. Refund policy and full terms: terms of service.
30 days written notice for any monthly subscription. After cancellation, your website goes offline (you keep the domain, we provide a one-time HTML export of the content). For Lease-to-Own clients, cancellation before payoff means the site reverts to us per the lease agreement.
On the Suncoast, quotes run from a few hundred dollars for template work to five figures for agency builds. A custom, hand-coded Suncoast Local site ranges from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on scope — the full breakdown is on this page, and lease-to-own spreads it over 24 months. For what local businesses in our market typically need, see our Sarasota web design page.
