Separate the build from recurring essentials
- The build price covers planning, design, code, content organization, testing, and launch work.
- A domain normally renews yearly, and hosting may be free or low cost depending on the setup and traffic.
- Email service, paid advertising, ecommerce fees, and third-party booking tools are separate when a business needs them.
Complexity changes the price
- A service business site with a gallery and contact form is much simpler than an online store or custom application.
- Custom logins, databases, inventory, payment processing, and daily content systems require more engineering and maintenance.
- Ask for a written scope so you know what is included before comparing prices.
The Swanson Tech Solutions package
- The $500 flat package includes a custom static site with up to 10 pages, mobile design, contact features, and basic SEO foundations.
- There is no upfront website payment, and the customer owns the completed code and domain.
- Complex ecommerce, custom software, daily content management, and paid ad management are outside the default scope.
