Site Proper

Services & Pricing

Websites built around how your business actually sells.

Site Proper designs and builds strategic custom websites for established businesses. Below is exactly what each package includes, how long it takes, what we'll need from you, and what it costs.

Pricing

Three packages. Clear starting points.

Most projects fall between $2,500 and $10,000+. Your final price depends on scope, content, and any custom functionality, and is set in writing before any work begins. We'll always recommend the smallest scope that solves the actual problem.

Founding Client Program

We're accepting a small number of founding client projects while we build our public portfolio, with preferred pricing from $2,250 in exchange for collaborative feedback, an honest testimonial after launch, and permission to feature the work. Limited to 5 founding client projects.

Package 1 of 3

Website Essentials

Starting at

$2,500

Best for
Established small businesses with a focused offer (a handful of core services, one location, a clear audience) that need a polished, credible website done properly rather than a large one.
Typical scope
Typically 1–5 core pages, such as Home, Services, About, and Contact.
Timeline
Typically 3–5 weeks from kickoff, depending on scope and how quickly content and feedback come back.
What we'll need from you
A kickoff conversation, a completed questionnaire, your logo and any photography, and timely feedback at each review point.
Feedback & review rounds
Two structured review rounds: one on the design direction and one on the built site before launch.
After launch
Two weeks of launch support for fixes, a handoff walkthrough of how your site works and how updates are handled, and full transfer of accounts and access. Ongoing website care is available separately.
Included
  • Strategy kickoff and structured discovery questionnaire
  • Custom design built around your business, not a purchased theme
  • Messaging guidance and page-level copy refinement

Package 2 of 3

Growth Website

Starting at

$4,500

Best for

Timeline
Typically 5–8 weeks from kickoff, depending on page count, content readiness, and feedback turnaround.
What we'll need from you
A kickoff conversation, a completed questionnaire, access to your current site and analytics if you have them, input on your services and customers, and feedback at each milestone.
Feedback & review rounds
Three structured review rounds: sitemap and content direction, design, and the built site before launch.
After launch
30 days of post-launch support, a handoff walkthrough, and a Search Console check in the weeks after launch for crawl or redirect issues. Ongoing website care is available separately.
Included
  • Everything in Website Essentials
  • Deeper discovery, including a review of competitors and your current site

Custom / Authority Website

Starting at

$7,500+

Best for
Larger or more complex businesses: multiple service lines or locations, competitive markets, extensive content, or needs that go beyond a standard marketing website.
Typical scope
Typically 10–25+ pages, scoped individually through a dedicated planning phase.
Timeline
Typically 8–12+ weeks, set in the proposal once scope and any custom functionality are defined.
What we'll need from you
A decision-maker available for milestone reviews, content and subject-matter input, and access to any systems we're integrating with.
Feedback & review rounds
Review rounds are defined in the proposal for each phase, typically three, with separate review points for custom functionality.

  • Advanced information architecture
  • Service and location strategy
  • Content system planning for larger or growing sites

  • Interactive planning tools
  • Booking and CRM integrations
  • Lead magnets and gated resources
  • Advanced content systems
  • Other custom functionality

Advanced functionality and integrations are scoped based on project requirements and quoted accordingly. They are examples of what this tier can include, not features bundled into the starting price.

Optional additions
Custom functionality and integrations (quoted per project) · Additional location or service pages · Photography direction · Ongoing website care

Feedback & Revisions

Defined review rounds keep projects moving.

Defined review rounds keep projects moving. Every project includes structured opportunities for feedback at key milestones. Scope and review rounds are agreed before work begins, so there are no surprises on either side.

Additions outside the approved scope are estimated separately, in writing, before any work happens. Nothing gets added to your invoice by surprise.

SEO Foundations

Built into every website.

Search visibility starts with how a site is built, so every project includes:

  • Search-friendly page structure and content hierarchy
  • Unique page titles and meta descriptions
  • Clean indexability and an XML sitemap
  • Structured data where it's appropriate
  • Redirect planning when replacing an existing site
  • Google Search Console and analytics setup
  • Local and service relevance where it applies

We build the foundation. We don't sell ongoing SEO campaigns or marketing retainers.

After Launch

A clean handoff, not a dependency.

Every project includes a launch-support window for fixes, a handoff walkthrough of how your site works and how updates are handled, and full transfer of accounts and access.

If you'd rather not think about maintenance, ongoing website care is available separately. We'll walk through what that includes at handoff.

What We Don't Do

Focused on purpose.

Site Proper is a website studio, not a full-service marketing agency. That focus is what keeps the work good. We don't offer:

  • Social media management or daily posting
  • Paid advertising (PPC) management
  • Ongoing marketing or SEO retainers
  • Unlimited revisions or unlimited updates
  • Hourly odd jobs or rush work as a standard service

Questions

Services & pricing FAQ
