Pricing, explained

What a small business website actually costs.

Ask five agencies what a website costs and you'll get five wildly different numbers. Here's the honest version — what affects the price, what the ongoing costs really are, and what we charge.

Our founding-client offer

HB Digital is a new Connecticut studio, and we're building our first portfolio. That means our first three clients get a genuinely good deal — not a stripped-down product.

First 3 clients

$500–$750

A complete 3–5 page website: mobile-first design, your services and service area, contact and quote forms, and basic local search setup. In exchange, we ask for an honest Google review and permission to show the site as an example of our work.

After that

$1,000–$1,500

The same complete website at our standard rate once the founding spots are gone. Either way, hosting, security, backups and small edits run $35–$50 a month — and you own your domain and your site, period.

What moves the price up or down

How many pages you need

A five-page site (home, services, about, reviews, contact) costs less than a twenty-page site with a page for every service and town. More pages means more writing, more design and more testing.

Who writes the words

The text on your site matters more than the design. If you can describe your services clearly, that keeps costs down. If you'd rather we write it from an interview with you, that's a bit more — but it's usually worth it.

Photos and graphics

Real photos of your work, your team and your shop beat stock photos every time — and they're free if you have them. Custom graphics and logo work add to the price.

Extras like booking or online ordering

A contact form is simple. Online booking, menus with ordering, or customer portals take more work. We'll always tell you what an extra costs before we build it.

Five questions to ask before you hire anyone — including us

  • ✦Do I own the domain and the website when it's done? (The answer should be yes.)
  • ✦What's included in the monthly fee — and what costs extra?
  • ✦Who makes changes when I need them, and how fast?
  • ✦What happens if I want to leave? Can I take my site with me?
  • ✦Will I be able to update basic things myself, like hours or photos?
