How much does a small business website cost?
The honest answer: it depends on what you need — but it shouldn't be a mystery. Here are my real prices, exactly as I charge them, so you can plan before we ever talk.
The short answer
A professional small business website from Lynn Design costs $850 to $3,000+, one time. You pay 25% down to lock in your start date, and the balance only when your site is ready to launch. After that, the only ongoing cost is the optional $50/month Website Care plan — and plenty of clients skip it.
No hourly billing surprises, no hidden fees, no pressure. If a cheaper option genuinely fits your business better, I'll tell you.

What affects the price?
Three things move a website's cost: how many pages you need, what the site has to do (a simple brochure site vs. booking, e-commerce, or a client portal), and how custom the design and animation work is. That's why the packages above are structured the way they are — most local businesses land comfortably in Starter or Business.
Common questions
How much does a small business website cost?
At Lynn Design, a professional small business website costs between $850 and $3,000+ as a one-time build, depending on size and features. You pay 25% down to start and the rest when the site launches.
Are there monthly fees?
Only if you want them. The optional Website Care plan is $50/month for updates, backups, and support — cancel anytime. The website build itself is a one-time price.
How does the down payment work?
You pay 25% of your package price up front to lock in your start date — for example, $375 on the $1,500 Business package. The remaining 75% is due only when your site is ready to launch.
What does the 25% deposit actually pay for?
The deposit locks in your start date and covers the kickoff call, your project plan, and the custom design concepts you review before anything is built. You're never paying for nothing — real work starts the day the deposit lands.
What does the remaining 75% cover?
The balance covers the full build of every page and feature, your revision rounds, testing across phones and desktops, and the launch itself — plus a walkthrough so you know how everything works. It's only due when the site is ready to go live.

Every site is custom-designed, mobile-friendly, fast-loading, and set up with the SEO basics. You work directly with Ryan — no ticket queues, no runaround.
