What should your website actually cost?
Straight answer first: a professionally built small-business website in the Hudson Valley runs $1,500 to $6,500+ as a one-time project, depending on how many services and towns it needs to win. Our pricing is published, so this calculator isn’t a quote trap — answer three questions and it maps you to the real number, instantly, no email required.
What kind of business is it?
Do you have a website today?
How much site does the business need?
Anything after launch?
We'll send the breakdown and a couple of relevant examples. No follow-up sequence, and the number won't change when a human looks at it. Prefer to skip the email? Just get the free audit.
Published pricing means no quote games
Most web designers make you book a call to hear a number. We publish ours — $1,500 Starter, $3,000 Professional, $5,000–$6,500+ Premium — because the price shouldn’t depend on how much they think you’ll pay. Every build is custom-coded, includes hosting, and you own the files outright at final payment. No platform fees, no monthly bill unless you choose an ongoing plan.
The one thing the calculator can’t price is genuine custom scope — online ordering, e-commerce, integrations. Those get quoted individually after a conversation, and we’ll tell you upfront if what you need is outside what we do. For the full picture of what sites cost around here and why, read our honest breakdown: how much a website costs in the Hudson Valley.
Frequently asked
Is the calculator estimate the real price?
Yes — it maps you to our published tiers, and the tier price is the project price. The only thing that moves it is scope that genuinely changes (you said three services on the call but you meant nine, or you need e-commerce). We confirm scope in writing before any deposit, so the number you sign is the number you pay.
Why is a redesign the same price as a new site?
Because it’s the same work — a real redesign is a full custom build, plus migration care (redirects, preserved rankings, carried-over content) that we include rather than bill for. A cheaper “redesign” that’s just a reskin of your current platform isn’t something we sell.
What’s NOT in these prices?
Your domain registration (roughly $12–20/year, paid straight to the registrar), professional photography if you want it commissioned, long-form content writing, and genuine custom features like online ordering — those are scoped separately and named upfront. Hosting is included; there’s no monthly bill from us unless you choose an ongoing plan.
How do payments work?
50% deposit to begin, 50% before launch, by card through a simple invoice link. At final payment you own the site outright — the files, the design, everything.
Can I just talk to a person instead?
Always. Call (845) 492-9707 or grab the free audit and Nick will look at your actual situation — which is more useful than any calculator anyway.
