How much does a website cost?
Five packages, all published: Standard $300 (3 pages), Premium $1,000 (5), Premium Plus $3,000 (7), Premium Signature $5,000 (10) and Interactive Elite $11,500 (7 pages + your own AI assistant). The holiday code JINGLEBELLS30 takes 30% off every one during the launch window.
How long does a build take?
Most websites launch in two to four weeks once we have your content. Standard is fastest; Premium Plus and Signature typically land inside a month; Interactive Elite runs a little longer for the assistant build and tuning. Your timeline is confirmed in writing on the scope call β before you pay anything.
What do you need from me to start?
Two minutes on the intake form below, then a short scope call. If you have a logo, photos or wording, send them; if you don't, we polish the copy and source high-definition photography for you. You approve everything before it goes live.
How many revisions do I get?
2 rounds on Standard, 3 on Premium and Premium Plus, 4 on Signature and Interactive Elite. After launch, a Website Care Plan covers your ongoing changes β you send them, we make them live.
Will my site work on phones?
Yes β phone and desktop formats are built and aligned separately, not one squeezed version, and every site opens with a welcome menu that lets each visitor pick their format: Mobile Phone, Computer, Mac or Tablet. This site works exactly the same way.
Can I add a shop or an AI assistant later?
A shop can be added to any site we built at any time β the Shop Add-On is $2,500. An AI assistant is the heart of Interactive Elite; moving up to it later is scoped as an upgrade on a short call.
Do you handle my domain?
Yes. Domain Acquisition & Setup is $150 one-time and Managed Domain is $60/yr β the registrar renewal (about $11β15/yr for a .com) passes through at cost. The domain is registered as your asset and transfers with you if you ever leave. Domain management is included free inside every Care Plan.
What is a Website Care Plan β and what counts as a change?
A care plan is how we run your site monthly: hosting, SSL, security, daily backups, uptime monitoring and domain management, plus content changes we make for you β 20/mo at $199, 50/mo at $399, 100/mo at $699. One change is one update: a text edit, photo swap, price or hours change, a new product or post from content you send. Extra changes are $20 each; one-off changes without a plan are $35. Annual billing: pay for 10 months, get 12.
What discounts do you offer?
10% military discount (active duty, veterans, military families) and 10% for veteran-owned businesses β standing, no code, no expiry. During the launch window, JINGLEBELLS30 takes 30% off. One discount at a time; the best single discount applies.
How do payments work?
Only 25% is due upfront to start your project. The balance is spread on a monthly payment plan β flexible monthly installments until paid in full, agreed in writing before we begin. Pay by PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle or Apple Pay (see the Payments page), check payable to Joshua J. Almeida, or wire by call.
Do I own my website?
Completely. You own the finished site outright, and your domain is your asset. Nothing is held hostage β if you ever move on, everything transfers with you.
