Website questions.
How much does a small business website cost at Mainfront?
A landing page is $749 to $2,500 plus $79 a month. The 5-page Launch Kit is $2,497, then $99 a month. A full custom business website is $3,500 to $9,500 plus $99 a month for care. Your final price is a fixed number in a written scope before any work starts.
What's the difference between the Launch Kit and a custom website?
The Launch Kit is a 5-page website bundled with Google Business Profile setup, 2 review cards, your domain and the first month of care, for $2,497. A custom website is for more pages, a custom design and more features, and runs $3,500 to $9,500.
Do I own my website?
Yes. Once the build is paid in full, the custom work we made for you is yours, and we hand over the files and admin logins within 5 business days. Your domain is registered in your name.
Can you take over a website someone else built?
Yes. Taking over a site we didn't build is $149 one-time, then a care plan at $99, $179 or $299 a month. If it needs real fixes first, we look at it and quote a fixed price.
How many rounds of changes do I get?
Two rounds of changes per main piece are standard, and your written scope lists them. A round is one set of feedback, sent together. Extra changes are handled with a change order.
What happens after my website launches?
For 30 days after launch, we fix anything that doesn't work the way your scope says, at no charge. After that, your care plan keeps it hosted, backed up, updated and reported on. Once it's paid off, you own it, and if you ever cancel care we hand you the files.
