Because every business is different, every website is different. What could be a straightforward design project for one business may not be so simple for another (and “not simple” usually equals a greater investment of time and money).
Sandhill Website Design specializes in helping the small business owner get started in the right direction with a website that works– one that generates targeted traffic and customers. Clean, pleasing, and functional designs built around an architecture for search engine optimization is our goal.
So, how much does a website cost? To get an accurate assessment of your vision and needs we invite you to contact us directly for a quote. Until then, here are some ballpark numbers of what a simple website for your business might cost.
Starter, 1 Page Brochure Website
$99. This includes basic design work usually set around a 2-column or 3-column layout. A unique graphic header for the top and 2-4 pictures from your business (that you supply). Keyword research will be done for your business niche. The bulk of the content writing will be supplied by you, but edited by us. Contact information of phone, address, and email will be put here. If you’d like a contact form on your site then proceed to the next offering.
Business Builder, 4 to 6 Page Website
$499 – $699. This option offers 4 to 6 pages, including various combinations of a home page, contact page (with contact form), about you page, your services/products page, and other pertinent content. In depth keyword research is done to find the best targeted word and phrases people use to find your business. All content is to be provided by the business, which will be edited by us to make the search engines love it. If you’d like us to do the writing then add $50 per page for content we create.
Content Rich, 10 to 15 Page Website
$999 – $2499. If you’re someone who sees the incredible value in having a website that ranks on the first page of Google, then this is the option for you! We will build a website for your business with 10 to 15 pages of targeted content, written from our keyword research. Content can be a combination written by just you, just us, or both. This option includes a premium header graphic, possibly with some basic flash animation, and logo design. At least one page of content will be written for submission to an article database, which will “prime the pump” in bringing traffic to your site.
Once your site is built it will be actively submitted to the search engines. Google Analytics tracking code will be added to every page and traffic statistics will be gathered over time. Analyzing your traffic is an important part of managing its success. Knowing who comes to visit, how they got there, and how long they stayed (among many other factors) is powerful data to help keep a website ranking well.
On-Going Hosting and Management
Basic hosting is $30 per month.
Minor corrections and updates that only take a few minutes will be done free of charge. Any more significant changes or additions will be charged at the current “shop rate” of $30/hr. This is in addition to the hosting fee. Billing can be done monthly or quarterly.
Just as an FYI, web designing and maintenance is a non-taxable service in Wisconsin (many other States have similar laws). A website is considered a digital product and is also not taxed. Pretty nice, eh?

Because you work hard to build and manage your business you deserve a website that works at generating leads for you, too– not just sit there on the 10th page of Google looking pretty
