Why prices online are so far apart.
Search for redesign costs and you’ll find anything from a few hundred dollars to six figures. Most of those guides are written by agencies pricing projects for larger companies: dozens of pages, teams of specialists, months of meetings, custom software.
A small business site is a smaller, clearer job: a set of pages that explain what you do, show why customers should choose you and make it easy to get in touch. That is the work this price covers.
Where your site lands in the range.
There are no packages. The price follows the amount of work your site needs, and these are the things that move it.
Closer to $600
- A compact site: a home page and a few service pages
- Your current text is a good starting point to rework
- One main way to reach you, like a contact or quote form
- A handful of old pages to carry over
Closer to $1,500
- More pages, or more services to explain
- New copy written for every page
- Booking, detailed quote forms or a connected service
- Many old pages to move and redirect
Your quote lists the pages and features we agree on, so you know exactly what the price covers.
What’s in the price.
One person does all of it — no handoffs between a designer, a writer and a developer.
- Copy & structure
- I write every page, so customers see what you do and how to reach you.
- Design
- Designed from scratch for your business, on every screen.
- Build
- Hand-coded and fast. No page builders.
- Search
- Your services and location clearly set out for Google and AI search.
- Launch
- On your domain. Your old site stays up until the new one is live.
Your domain, your site, your code. No lock-in.
How payment and timing work.
Send your link.
I reply within 24 hours.
See your new site.
A working preview, what’s included and a fixed price. No deposit, no commitment.
Changes until you’re happy.
Within the pages and features we agreed on. If you want something new — another page, a new feature — I quote it before I start.
Launch, then invoice.
Once you approve, your new site is live within 48–72 hours. I send the invoice after launch.
After launch, you keep paying only for what you already have — your domain and email. The redesign adds no new bills.
How to compare quotes.
Whoever you hire, ask these before you sign. The answers tell you more than the total.
-
Who writes the words on the site?
If it’s you, count your own time. Copy is often what holds a project up.
CitrusGate I do.
-
Is there a deposit, and when is the rest due?
It shows how much risk you carry before you’ve seen anything.
CitrusGate No deposit. One invoice after launch.
-
Whose name is the domain in? Who owns the site and its code?
If it isn’t yours, leaving later gets hard.
CitrusGate Yours. No lock-in.
-
How do changes work?
A low price with one round of changes can end up costing more.
CitrusGate Changes until you’re happy, within the agreed scope.
-
What happens to my old page addresses?
Broken links lose visitors from Google, old emails and bookmarks.
CitrusGate Kept, or redirected to the right new page.
-
Who handles the launch?
Domain and email settings are where switches usually go wrong.
CitrusGate I do, and I check that your email still works.
Your options, side by side.
Do it yourself
A website builder gives you the tools. You supply the time, the words and the design decisions, and keep paying for the plan.
A freelance designer
Often good value. Check that the quote covers writing, building and launch, not only the design.
An agency
Makes sense when you also need branding, ad campaigns or custom software. Expect a bigger budget and more meetings.
CitrusGate
One person for the whole job, a fixed price you see with your preview, and payment only after launch.
Before you decide.
- Can I get an exact price without writing a brief?
- Yes. Send your website link. I’ll review it and ask if anything needs clarifying. Your preview comes with a written scope and a fixed price.
- How long does it take?
- I reply within 24 hours. Once you approve the preview, your new site is live within 48–72 hours.
- Will I pay anything after launch?
- Only for what you already have: your domain and business email, with the providers you use now. The redesign adds no new bills.
- What if my site has a store, bookings or member accounts?
- Tell me what you use now. Often you can keep your current booking or shop service and connect it to the new design. A full store or member area is a bigger job — you’ll see its exact price with your preview, before you agree to anything.
- What if I already have a price from Ivan?
- Your written offer is the price for the work it describes. The range on this page is a guide, not a replacement for that offer.
- Do I have to buy after seeing the preview?
- No. Look at the preview and the price, then decide. There’s no deposit, and you pay only after your site is live.
- What do you need from me?
- Your website link and email to start. For the launch, access to your domain account. Please don’t send passwords through the form — I’ll ask for access the safe way when it’s needed.
