What a website actually
costs in New Orleans.
Two real prices, not a range and not a form that ends in "we'll follow up." Here's what each one includes, and what moves the number.
01 / The build
Two prices. That's the whole list.
Every small business site I build is one of these two.
Presence
$1,000
A site that's fast, correct, and yours to edit.
- Up to 5 pages, written and built
- Loads fast on a phone, first try
- You can change your own hours, prices and copy
- Google Business Profile set up right
- Domain registered in your name, on your account
Most people end up here
Presence + Engine
$2,500
Everything in Presence, plus one tool that does real work — a quote calculator, a client portal, a structured intake.
- Everything in Presence
- One working tool built around how you operate
- Enquiries arrive filled in, not as a blank email
- Built to grow later instead of getting replaced
- Domain registered in your name, on your account
After it's live
A build price is one number. Keeping it running is another, and it's smaller than people expect.
Care plan
$79/month
Hosting, security, backups, unlimited small edits, Google Business upkeep.
Care plan +
$199/month
Everything above, plus a few hours of build time each month so the site keeps improving.
Anything else
$75/hour
No package, no minimum. If you just need a thing done, it's $75 an hour.

02 / What moves the number
Same two prices, different jobs.
The $1,000 and $2,500 above are real, not a floor that grows once we talk. What changes is which one fits your business — and a couple of things push either price up before we start.
03 / How it goes
You know the number before anything starts.
First, a half-hour conversation, in person if you're in New Orleans. I ask what the business actually needs, not what a template has room for.
Then a written scope with one of the two prices above on it — in writing, before any work begins. No hourly clock running while we figure out what we're building.
Then the build, with a link you can watch as it comes together, and Care starts only once the site is live.
