What a $1,000 website actually gets you

By Riri

Website pricing is confusing. You can find “free” builders, and you can find agencies quoting five figures. So when I say my Starter Site is from $1,000, I want you to know exactly what that means. No mystery, no surprise add-ons.

A real design, made for your business

This isn’t a template with your name dropped in. I design the page around your business: your colors, your vibe, the kind of customer you want to attract. A barbershop and a bakery should not look the same, and with me they won’t.

Everything a customer needs, on one page

The Starter Site is one elegant, scrolling page that answers the questions people actually have:

  • Who you are and what makes you different
  • Your services and prices
  • Your hours and location, with Google Maps
  • Tap-to-call and contact buttons

For most small businesses, that’s all a customer needs to go from “who is this?” to “I’m calling them.”

Built for the phone first

Most of your visitors will see your site on a phone, so that’s where I start. Text you can read without zooming, buttons big enough for a thumb, and pages that load fast.

You see it before you pay

Every project starts with a free sample. I build a real version of your site first. If you love it, we finish the details and launch, usually in about 5 to 7 days once I have your info. If it’s not for you, you walk away. No obligation.

What it doesn’t include

If you want separate pages for About, Services and Gallery, a blog, scroll animations and a booking button, that’s my Glow Up package, from $2,500. Some businesses start with the Starter Site and grow into more later. Both are a one-time price, not a monthly plan from me.

Is it worth it?

Only you can answer that, but here’s how I think about it. If a better website brings you even a few new customers who would have scrolled past, it starts paying for itself. And it keeps working every day, without you having to post.
