Professional Website Design for Small Businesses
A clear, fast website can explain your value, earn trust, and make it easy for the right people to contact you. Work directly with Archie from planning through launch.
Planning your investment
Clear pricing and complete ownership.
The current published guide for a standard website is $3,000 to $5,000, typically for up to about 10 to 15 pages. It lists copywriting, foundational SEO, analytics and lead tracking, two to three revision rounds, and an estimated four to six week timeline. A written proposal confirms the actual scope, schedule, and investment for your project.
The published payment schedule is 50% to begin and 50% at completion. Hosting and ongoing support are optional.
Discuss your website projectThe approach
A website built around the decision your customer needs to make.
We start with your services, customers, and goals, then shape the pages, message, and contact paths around them. The project includes technical and foundational SEO work. Relevant Google Business Profile setup or optimization can be included in the agreed scope.
Work directly with ArchieRelated decisions
Choose the website project that fits.
A new site can stand on its own. A rebuild starts with what is already working, while a combined engagement adds a separate monthly SEO scope after launch.
What the work can include
A scope built around your goals.
The proposal defines the exact work. These are the areas we can discuss together.
Responsive design and build
Design for desktop and mobile, with readable content and clear calls to action.
Search-ready foundations
Set up sensible headings, internal links, page metadata, and a crawlable structure.
Profile alignment where relevant
Review the Google Business Profile destination and include setup or optimization when it belongs in the project scope.
Launch and ownership
Review the finished site together and hand over the website and assets you paid for.

How it works
A clear path from question to action.
Discover and plan
Review your business, customers, existing site, and the action you want visitors to take.
Design and build
Develop the agreed pages, visual direction, copy, and contact flow.
Test and launch
Check mobile use, forms, key links, and search basics before the site goes live.
How we judge progress
Measure the outcome that matters.
After launch, review the pages people land on, the paths they follow, and whether calls or inquiries are being captured. Search visibility and leads take time to evaluate, so we use actual site data rather than a ranking promise.
Questions before you inquire
What would you like to know?
Can you improve an existing website?
Yes. Archie can review the current design, content, and conversion path before recommending a redesign or a smaller improvement.
Will I own my website?
Yes. Brightbox says clients retain ownership of the website, domain, and project assets they pay for after payment is complete.
How long does a website project take?
The current standard website guide estimates four to six weeks. The proposal confirms the schedule for your scope.
Is copywriting included?
The current standard website guide includes professional copywriting. A proposal confirms the pages and deliverables for your project.
Which platform will you use?
The current website guide lists WordPress as a common option, with Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, or custom development considered when they better fit the project.
Can SEO be included?
Yes. Page structure, content, and search basics can be planned during the build. Ongoing SEO work can be scoped separately.
