Pricing

Real numbers.
No "contact us" for Standard or Pro.

Hosting and care plans have published prices. Enterprise and custom builds start with a paid discovery — but here's roughly what things cost so you don't have to ask a salesperson.

Managed hosting & care

Three tiers. Pick the one that matches the site you actually have.

All tiers include managed Linux hosting, daily backups, staging clone, security patching, SSL, and a real human on call.

Pricing questions

Questions we get every single month.

How is hosting priced?

Three published tiers (Standard, Pro, Enterprise) with everything that's included. No surprise overage bills.

Are discovery sprints required before a build?

For builds over $25k, yes. For smaller engagements we'll fold discovery into the project.

Do you charge for an estimate?

No. Estimates and one-page assessments are free. Paid discovery only begins after a signed agreement.

What does a typical engagement cost?

Marketing sites land around $18k–$35k. Internal tools usually start near $42k. Hosting starts at $249/mo.
