In short: a website costs from $300. An express one-page site takes 1 day. A landing page is from $500 and takes up to 2 weeks, a business site of up to 7 pages is from $1,000 and takes up to 4 weeks, an online store is from $1,500 and takes up to 8 weeks.

How much does a website cost?
From $300 for an express one-page site. A landing page is from $500, a business site of up to 7 pages from $1,000, an online store from $1,500. Bigger jobs I quote before we start.

What if I need changes after launch?
For 30 days after handover I fix issues on my side for free and help with small edits. After that, one-off changes or monthly support, as we agree. What is quoted separately: How I work.
Will the site bring me leads?
I can't promise that. Leads depend on how many people visit and what you offer them. What I do promise is a site built to the agreed scope that works on phones and in the main browsers. More: How I work.
Do you work alone or with a team?
Alone. I do the design, the code and the testing myself, so every question gets answered by the person who built the site.
Can I edit the site myself?
Yes. Most sites I build on WordPress, so you change text, images and sections in the editor. If the site is custom-coded, we'll agree upfront how you'll make edits.
