We publish what
most agencies charge for.
Prices, processes and the parts that did not work. If reading this means you decide to do it yourself, that is a fair outcome.
We Checked 50 Top Web Design Agencies. 79% Won't Publish a Price.
78.6% of top agencies publish no prices. So we built the dataset ourselves: 34 published price lists, 6 platforms, 2 marketplaces and 7 cost guides, with a link for every number.
Everything,
newest first.
No listicles, no thought leadership, no posts written to hit a word count. Each one answers a question a real client asked us, and says plainly where the numbers came from.
How people actually decide, and what that means for your website
Seven patterns in how people decide, what each one looks like on a small business website, and the order to fix things in. None of it needs a bigger budget.
What a website actually costs in 2026
Every rung of the ladder, from a $125 first-year DIY plan to a $7,000 median agency build, what you actually get at each one, and the questions that tell you which rung you belong on. Ours is in here too, itemised down to the line.
One hub per service,
read in order.
Every service we sell has a hub, plus one for pricing, because that is the question everybody arrives with. Each hub opens with the long piece on that subject, then everything else we have written around it.
What things cost, why agencies hide it, and how to tell whether a quote is fair before you sign.

we would do. Here is what it costs.
