What it costs to work with us.
No “contact us for a quote.” Here are the real numbers, what’s inside them, and where the lines are. If your project doesn’t fit one of these, tell us what you’re after and we’ll price it honestly — including when the honest answer is that you need less than you thought.
Every price here is current today and subject to change. Once your project is quoted and signed, that number is locked — whatever this page says later.
Start where you are.
Three ways in. Every one of them includes the things that make a site actually work — right on a phone, fast, and structured so search engines and AI assistants read your business correctly.

We built Valley Creek Church a platform of their own. See how Radius came together →
Tell us the ideaHow it works: half up front, half at launch. Nothing starts without a written scope, so nobody is guessing later about what was included.
If it needs a look, too.
Branding is priced and scheduled on its own, because it’s separate work — and because a logo, an identity, and a brand are three different things people call by the same name. We wrote about the difference →
Starter Mark
$1,500
One to two weeks
A logo you own outright, and everything you need to use it.
- A primary mark plus a stacked and icon version
- Color palette and type choices
- Every file format you’ll be asked for
- Two rounds of revisions
Honest about what this is: a mark, not a whole identity. Right when you need something good now.
Start hereThe usual answer
Identity System
$3,500
Three to four weeks
The mark plus the system around it, so it still looks like you on the tenth thing you make.
- Everything in the Starter Mark
- Full palette with accessible pairings
- A type scale for headings and body
- Usage rules — spacing, sizing, what not to do
- Social profile and cover kit
- A short guide anyone on your team can follow
Brand & Messaging
$6,000 and up
Five to six weeks
The look and the words. What most people actually mean when they say they need a brand.
- Everything in the Identity System
- Positioning — who you’re for and what you stand against
- The one-liner, and the story under it
- What you say, in what order, on every page
- Naming, if you need one
- Messaging your team can actually repeat
Those are delivery windows, not turnaround promises. Brand work moves at the speed of decisions — yours and ours — so we tell you how long a project usually takes and we don’t put a clock on the rounds inside it. A mark you’ll still like in five years comes from sitting with two or three options for a few days. Rushing that is how businesses end up with a logo nobody in the room actually chose.
Booked with a website, branding is 10% off. It’s genuinely less work when both happen at once — one set of conversations, one set of decisions — so you shouldn’t pay twice for the same thinking.
Someone to call when it needs to change.
A website isn’t furniture. Prices move, staff change, the certificate expires at the worst possible moment. Every plan covers the boring, essential parts. What separates them is how much of our time comes with it.

Everything we’d rather say now than later.
Nobody enjoys reading this part. We’d still rather over-explain it here than have you discover it on an invoice.
What “a change” means
- A change is anything that takes us under half an hour. New text. A swapped photo. Updated hours, prices, or a staff bio. A new link. A typo you spotted before we did.
- A new page, a new feature, or a redesign is not a change. Neither is a new logo or writing a page from scratch. That’s real work, and we quote it — you’ll know the number before we start, every time.
- Nothing rolls over. Four changes a month means four that month; two hours on Partner means two that month. You’re paying for the site being looked after, not for banked hours — and in most months, clients use one.
- Two business days is what usually happens, not a guarantee we sold you. Business days are Monday to Friday, Texas time, holidays aside. If something is urgent, say so — we’ll tell you straight away whether we can get to it, rather than promise and miss.
- The free months are free, and then the plan simply continues. Care and Partner are on us for your first three months when we build your site. After that they bill monthly at the price on this page until you tell us to stop. No escalation, no notice period — but you should read that here rather than notice it on a statement.
- Plan prices can change — but never quietly. If we ever adjust what a care plan costs, everyone already on one gets at least thirty days’ notice by email before it applies, and you can cancel inside that window owing nothing.
- Cancel any time, and the site is yours. No notice period, nothing held hostage — we hand over the files and help you move. Two honest caveats: we don’t refund the month you’re part-way through, and anything licensed from somebody else — stock photography, a paid font — comes with you only as far as that license allows.
- Cancel inside a prepaid year and we refund the balance at the standard monthly rate. The two free months are for finishing the year, so they come off a partial one. You’ll get the arithmetic in writing, not a shrug.
- Your domain is registered in your name. Always, on your own account. We manage it and cover a standard renewal while you’re on a plan; premium domains and transfer fees are billed at what they actually cost. It never belongs to us, which is exactly why leaving is easy.
- Hosting assumes a normal business site. Every plan is priced for ordinary small-business traffic. If your site takes off — genuinely good news — or starts doing something heavier than serving pages, we’ll show you the actual hosting bill and talk it through before anything changes.
What a project price assumes
- The price covers the scope we wrote down. Every project starts with one. Extra pages, extra sections, or a feature that turns up halfway through get quoted as their own thing — and you see that number before we build it, never after.
- A round of revisions is one consolidated set of feedback. One round on the one-page site; two on a full website and on branding. Not five emails across a week. Past the included rounds we bill at $95 an hour, and we say so before we start counting rather than at the end.
- The clock starts when the material does. “Live in about a week” means a week from having your copy, your photos, and somebody who can make a decision. We can’t launch a page we’re still waiting on words for, and that waiting isn’t counted as our time.
- If a project goes quiet, it pauses. Life happens and we’re not precious about it. But after thirty days with no reply we’ll park the project, and restarting means joining the queue behind whatever is live at the time.
- Half up front, half at launch. The deposit books the time and isn’t refundable once work has started. The balance is due at launch, and the site goes live once it clears.
- The work is yours the moment it’s paid for. On final payment everything we made for you is yours outright — files, source, the lot. Before that it isn’t. That has never once come up, but it’s the honest answer.
- The $1,200 credit is one credit. Against one full website, inside twelve months. It isn’t cash, and it doesn’t stack with the branding discount.
What we won’t promise
- A ranking. We build sites that search engines and AI assistants can read properly — structured data, clean markup, real answers to real questions. That part we control. Nobody controls where Google puts you or whether an assistant decides to quote you, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.
- That the internet never breaks. We monitor your site and we move fast when something goes wrong. But hosts have outages, certificates hiccup, and registrars have bad days. What we promise is attention and a straight answer, not a number with four nines in it.
- Leads. A good website removes the reasons people leave. It doesn’t replace having something people want, at a price they’ll pay, in front of the people who need it. If we think a website isn’t your actual problem, we’ll say so — that conversation costs nothing.
All pricing on this page is subject to change. It’s a current price list, not a standing offer, and it can be revised at any time without notice. What doesn’t move is a number you’ve already been quoted: once a scope is written and signed, that price holds for that project regardless of what this page says afterwards.
And this page is the summary, not the agreement. Every project and every plan gets its own written scope and terms before a dollar moves. Where this page and a signed document ever disagree, the signed one wins.
If your budget is somebody’s donation, say so.
We build for churches and nonprofits, and we price that work differently. Radius — a whole platform, named, branded, and built in-house — was made for Valley Creek Church, so this isn’t a line we added to look generous.
There’s no published discount, because the right number depends on what you’re doing and what you actually have. Tell us the mission and the budget, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can do inside it — including when the answer is that the money belongs somewhere other than a website.
Start that conversationSome things aren’t an upgrade.
These come with the $1,200 site and the $50,000 platform alike, because a site without them isn’t finished — it’s just launched.
Readable by machines
Schema.org data, semantic markup, and a clean heading order, so search engines and AI assistants get your facts right instead of guessing. Why that matters now →
Fast, and it stays fast
Hand-written, with no heavy framework loading before your words do. Your copy lives in the HTML where anything can read it.
Right on a phone first
Most of your visitors are holding one. We build for that screen and let the big one benefit, not the other way round.
Questions people actually ask.
Why do you publish your prices when most studios don’t?
Because you should be able to find out whether we’re in your range without sitting through a sales call first. Hidden pricing wastes your time and ours. The numbers here are the numbers — and if a project needs more than one of them, we say so before anyone commits to anything.
Is a one-page site really enough?
For plenty of businesses, yes. If someone needs to know who you are, what you do, whether you can be trusted, and how to reach you, one well-built page does that better than five thin ones.
It’s the wrong choice when you serve genuinely different audiences, need separate pages to rank for separate things, or have a catalogue of services that each deserve their own explanation. We’ll tell you which one you are, even when the answer costs us the bigger project.
What if my project doesn’t fit any of these?
Most interesting ones don’t. These are starting points, not a menu you have to order from. Tell us what you’re trying to do and we’ll come back with a number and a scope, usually within a business day.
Do I have to sign up for a care plan?
No. Every site we build can be handed over for you to host and look after yourself, and we’ll help you move it. Most clients take a plan because they’d rather not think about certificates and backups — but it’s a choice, not a condition of the project.
Can you take over a site someone else built?
Usually. We start with a paid site review at $250, so we know what we’d be taking responsibility for. If it’s in reasonable shape and we take it on, that fee comes off your first month and we pick up a care plan from there.
If it isn’t, you get an honest report on what it would take to put right — and you’re free to take that report anywhere. Want a rough sense before spending anything? The free 5-Point Website Checkup →
How fast can you actually launch?
A one-page site is usually live within a week of the kickoff call, and we once took a client from first conversation to launch in 48 hours. Full websites tend to run two to four weeks. The limiting factor is almost never us — it’s how quickly the copy, photos, and feedback come back.
Do you offer nonprofit or church pricing?
Yes. We price that work differently, and we’ve done it — Radius was built for Valley Creek Church from the name up.
There’s no published discount, because the right number depends on the organization and what it has to work with. Tell us the mission and the budget and we’ll say honestly what we can do inside it.
How long does a branding project take?
A Starter Mark is usually one to two weeks, an Identity System three to four, and a full Brand & Messaging project five to six.
Those are delivery windows, not deadlines, and there’s no turnaround clock on the rounds inside them. Brand work moves at the speed of the decisions it needs from you, and a mark you’ll still like in five years isn’t one anybody hurried.
Do you only work with businesses in Texas?
We’re in Texas and we work with clients all over the country. First conversation to launch happens over video calls, email, and a shared project page you can check any time.
What do you need from me?
Less than you’d think, and more than nothing. Expect a kickoff conversation, a few hours of your attention spread over a couple of weeks, whatever photos and copy you already have, and reasonably quick feedback. Projects stall for one reason far more than any other: the owner got busy.
Tell us what you’re thinking.
Nothing on this page is a checkout button. Tell us what you’re after and we’ll usually come back within one business day with a straight answer — including if we think you need something smaller than what you asked for.
