Is $750 Too Cheap for a Website?

Answer: No. $750 for a one-page custom website is fair when you eliminate typical agency overhead and optimize for efficiency, not margin.

Why It's Fair Pricing

✓
Actual work time: 12-16 hours. Design (4-6 hrs) + development (6-8 hrs) + QA (2 hrs). At $50-60/hr developer rates, that's $600-960 in labor.
✓
Most agency cost is overhead, not work. Sales teams, account managers, endless meetings - agencies charge $3k-10k to cover this bloat. Eliminate it, price drops.
✓
Templates cost $0-200 upfront but lock you into monthly fees. Wix/Squarespace charge $30-40/mo forever. Over 2 years, that's $720-960 - same as custom, but you own nothing.

The $750 Breakdown

Design (custom layouts, brand colors)	4-6 hrs
Development (Next.js, forms, SEO)	6-8 hrs
Testing & QA	2 hrs
Launch & deployment	1 hr
Total work time	13-17 hrs

At $50-60/hr developer rate: $650-1,020 in labor cost. $750 is in the middle.

What You're NOT Getting

Let's be honest about what $750 doesn't include:

→ Not a 10-page site (one page only)
→ Not endless revisions (two rounds included)
→ Not a custom CMS (content edits go through us)
→ Not e-commerce or complex features
→ Not white-glove account management

If you need those, expect to pay $3k-10k. But most small businesses don't.

What $750 Gets You

✓ Custom-coded Next.js website (no templates)
✓ Mobile-optimized, fast-loading (Lighthouse 90+)
✓ SEO setup (meta tags, structured data, sitemap)
✓ Contact form connected and working
✓ SSL certificate, analytics tracking
