What’s it going to cost you?
Each site is unique, but I provide these real-world example to give clients a basic idea. Get in touch with me, and I can give you a specific bid.
What you see is what you get. If I’m building a site from scratch, my price covers the scope we agree to — no surprises, no hidden fees. And I will always disclose any ongoing plugin or hosting costs upfront.
