What’s included in a Frontstage website.

Your package sets the size. The work inside it brings together clear content, useful features, and a website that feels right for your business.

A site that fits your business.

Service pages, useful content, and a direct path to call, book, visit, or request a quote. Forms, galleries, menus, maps, and integrations are confirmed in your agreed scope.

A thoughtful build underneath.

Mobile-first layouts, semantic HTML, keyboard access, visible focus states, and performance-minded image sizing. Technical and on-page SEO foundations are included; ongoing SEO is scoped separately.

The right way to keep it current.

Custom React and Next.js, a CMS, or a static site depending on your needs. Account access, platform costs, licenses, and the practical handoff are agreed before work starts.

A clear path from kickoff to launch.

A focused small-business website often takes 1–2 weeks once content and feedback are available. Larger sites and integrations take longer. Your schedule is confirmed before work begins.

  1. 01

    Agree the direction.

    We confirm your pages, content, features, and budget. For a redesign, useful business information and proof stay while the confusing parts are reworked.

  2. 02

    Design, build, refine.

    Your content becomes a working website. You review the layout and customer paths, and we refine the agreed pages together.

  3. 03

    Check and launch.

    We check responsive layouts, links, forms, and the launch setup, then walk through access and handoff. Ongoing hosting and upkeep can be arranged separately.

Most projects begin with 50% upfront. The remaining balance is due before launch after the agreed pages and responsive checks are complete.

Questions before a website project starts.

Direct answers about scope, timing, content, and what happens after launch.

How much does a small-business website cost?

A Starter Website is $500 and includes up to four pages using a proven layout system. Custom Websites start at $1,250, and an Online Store is $1,000. Platform redesigns, larger ecommerce builds, memberships, substantial copywriting, branding, SEO campaigns, and other advanced projects are quoted individually.

Who owns the finished website?

Rights to project deliverables are addressed in your written agreement. We confirm the handoff, account access, and any third-party platform or asset licenses before work starts.

Can Frontstage redesign an existing website?

Yes. Useful content, proof, and business details can be preserved while the structure, visual direction, mobile experience, and path to contact are rebuilt.

Do I need to provide all of the content?

You provide the facts, offers, photos, and business details only you can confirm. Frontstage can help organize and refine that material into clearer website copy.

How long does a website project take?

A focused small-business website often takes 1–2 weeks once the needed content and feedback are available. Larger sites and integrations take longer, and the schedule is confirmed before work starts.

Is SEO included?

Every build includes technical and on-page SEO foundations. Deeper keyword research, ongoing content, Google Business Profile work, and continuing SEO are scoped separately.

How do payment and launch work?

Most projects begin with 50% upfront. The remaining balance is due before launch after the agreed pages and responsive checks are complete.

Can Frontstage help after launch?

Yes. Hosting, upkeep, and small edits can continue through a separate maintenance arrangement after the first month of hosting included with a website launch.
