How much does a small business website cost in Tacoma?
A custom small business website from Websence in Tacoma is $1,500 for a single page, from $3,500 for a five page site, and $6,500 for a larger build with service area pages, copywriting, and conversion tracking. Anything bigger than a website is quoted after a call. These prices are published rather than hidden behind a contact form, and the final number depends on scope, which is confirmed on a call before anything is committed.
How long does it take to build a small business website?
A Websence site is live in 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff. A single page site is live in one week from kickoff. Timeline assumes photos, logo, and business details are delivered in the first week. Only one project runs at a time, so the build is not queued behind someone else's.
What is included in a small business website?
The five page Starter build from Websence includes, as standard: Five pages, custom built; Mobile first; Contact and quote forms; Basic SEO setup; Launch support. Two rounds of revisions included. Additional rounds are quoted separately. Every site is custom built rather than assembled from a template or a page builder.
Do you do website hosting and maintenance?
Yes. The Websence Care Plan is from $150 per month and covers hosting, SSL, backups, platform updates, uptime monitoring, and up to three hours of content updates a month, with a turnaround of three to five business days. Hosting is included in the price and runs on my account. Your domain stays in your name. If you cancel, I hand over the site files and help you move.
Can I update the website myself after it launches?
You do not edit the site yourself. You send the change, it is done within 3 to 5 business days, and you never touch a CMS. If you would rather run the site yourself, or hand it to a developer you already work with, the Ownership Handoff is free and includes all the site files, the repository, deploy instructions, and a walkthrough call.
