Why Local Businesses Can't Afford the Old Way
The legacy web agency model price-gouges the exact customers who can least afford it — and they know it.
Traditional web agencies treat local business owners like corporate giants, demanding steep upfront costs ranging from $3,000 to over $10,000 just to begin a build. Freelance updates or graphic support then add $100 to $200 per hour for basic edits, while ongoing site hosting and basic upkeep run an extra $100 to $300 a month. SEO optimization routinely tags on another $500 to $1,500 every single month. This is a non-starter for small businesses, and many have abandoned a professional looking web presence as a result
The traditional cost structure...

~$5,000–$10,000+

HOURLY EDIT RATE
$100–$200/hr
Every revision billed separately after launch
MONTHLY HOSTING & UPKEEP

Ongoing infrastructure and maintenance costs
MONTHLY SEO RETAINER
$500–$1,500/mo
Ongoing search optimization billed on top of everything else
