Most people in this market quote by the meeting and never put a number in writing. Here is the number. Formation, brand, website, storefront and getting found — and at the end of it you own the domain, the site, the data, and the right to walk away.
So the number below has something to sit against. These are published 2026 market rates for the same scope, gathered from agency price lists and freelance marketplaces.
| Where you might get it | Typical cost | What you end up with |
|---|---|---|
| A marketing agency | $10,000 – $35,000 | A capable build, a long timeline, and a team you rarely speak to directly. |
| A freelance designer | $1,500 – $8,000 | Usually the website only. Formation, brand, storefront and search are yours to arrange. |
| A subscription website builder | $16 – $75 / month, forever | A template you rent. It cannot be exported, so leaving means paying to build it twice. |
| An all-in-one platform reseller | $5,000 – $10,000 + $97–$297/mo | A configured account on software they license from someone else. Your site lives inside it. |
| SynthBridge, everything included | $7,000 | Built for you, owned by you, portable on the day you ask. |
Rates as of August 2026, from public agency and marketplace pricing. Your own quotes will vary with scope — these are the ranges to compare against, not promises about anyone else's work.
Every price here is fixed and written down. Half on signature, half when the site goes live. Nothing begins until you have the full scope in writing.
Launch is not a round number someone picked. It is seven pieces of work, each of which we sell on its own, bundled at a discount because doing them together is faster than doing them apart.
Prices for each piece are set against published market rates for the same work and reviewed every year. Ask and we will show you the comparison for any line above.
A website is not furniture. Things expire, break, and drift. Care is the standing arrangement that keeps yours healthy, current and watched. It is optional, month to month, and you can stop it without losing anything you paid for.
Care is not required to work together, and nothing stops functioning if you end it — the site is yours either way. It exists because the businesses that keep someone looking after this end up ahead of the ones that do not.
Most website subscriptions cannot give you your website. The pages exist only inside the system that made them, so changing providers means paying to build the same thing a second time. It is worth knowing which side of that line you are on.
Nothing here is only sold in a bundle. If you already have a website and need the booking system, buy the booking system.

| Inventory & availability | Track what you have, what is out, and when it comes back.Rentals, stock, delivery scheduling. | $3,500 |
| Quotes & contracts | Send a priced quote, get it signed, turn it into a job.No per-signature fee. | $2,000 |
| Brand identity | Logo, colour, type and a guide for using them.Made for you, not chosen from a gallery. | $1,500 |
| Getting found | Business profile, maps, local listings and indexing.So people looking for you actually find you. | $900 |
| Storefront or menu | Your products or menu online, browsable and orderable. | $900 |
| Automatic follow-up | Confirmations, receipts and reminders that send themselves. | $800 |
| Business insights | What sold and where customers came from, in plain language. | $700 |
| Business formation | Registration filed, tax ID obtained, documents in order.State filing fee billed at cost. | $600 |
| Invoicing | Deposits, balances and paid status tied to the actual job.Sold as part of a larger system. | $1,200 |
| Owner dashboard | One screen for your bookings, orders and customers.Sold as part of a larger system. | $1,200 |
Two of these are honest about their limits. Invoicing and the owner dashboard are worth building when they sit on top of a system we are already making for you; on their own, ordinary accounting software will serve you better and I will say so.
No. Launch includes registering it — the filing, the tax ID, and the founding documents, prepared and submitted with you. The state charges its own filing fee, which is billed at cost with the receipt attached.
Then you probably want Presence, or a single piece from the list above. If your current site is on a platform that will not release it, we rebuild rather than migrate, and you will be told that plainly before you spend anything.
No. The site is yours whether or not you keep me involved, and it will not stop working if you cancel. Care is for people who would rather not think about renewals, backups and broken links.
Yes, and you do not have to ask nicely. The domain is registered in your name, the files are handed over on request, and your customer and order data exports in a standard format. Nothing is held to keep you.
I do. You will not be handed to an account manager, and there is no team between you and the person building it. That is the reason the timelines are short and the prices are what they are.
Half to begin, half when the site goes live. Care is billed monthly and can be stopped at any time. Everything is invoiced, and nothing is charged that was not agreed in writing first.
Because I would rather build you something that works than sell you calls about it. If you want to be taught the marketing side, say so and I will point you somewhere honest.
Then say what you need. These prices exist so you can compare before a meeting, not to decide for you. If the answer is that you should buy ordinary software instead of hiring me, that is what I will tell you.
Send me what someone else proposed, or just describe what you are trying to open. You will get a straight answer about what it should cost and whether you need me at all.
