Pricing

Fixed prices, written down before we start.

You'll know the total before you sign. It doesn't move unless you ask for more.

Service-business website

$8,000–$15,000fixed

A full site built for phones and search, with forms that reach you. You own the code and the accounts.

  • Every page you need, phone-first
  • Local SEO setup and forms
  • Pages your office can edit
  • Ongoing SEO after launch. That’s the monthly lane.

Next step A written estimate, usually the same day as the call.

Ongoing SEO and automations

$3,000–$5,000/ month

Search, lead systems and automations, with a stated monthly cap. Month-to-month after 90 days.

  • A cap agreed up front
  • Work beyond the cap is quoted separately
  • Plain-English monthly report
  • Anything beyond the cap. It gets its own quote first.

Next step A written estimate with the monthly cap, usually the same day as the call.

Custom tool

$20,000–$35,000fixed

A quote calculator, or a tool like the one we built for Palm Build (disclosure: Chris Zambito, who founded Nine Lives, is Palm Build's CTO).

  • Starts with a $2,000 paid diagnostic
  • The diagnostic is credited if you go ahead
  • Weekly progress in your dashboard
  • Features added after you approve the scope. They get a new number first.

Next step The diagnostic agreement with a budget range. The diagnostic sets the fixed price.

Smaller and larger02

Landing page

$2,500–$4,000fixed

One focused page for a campaign or a new service. A full website isn't $500; if that's the real budget, we'll say so.

  • One page, phone-first
  • A form that reaches you
  • A full multi-page site. That’s the website lane.

Next step A written estimate, usually the same day as the call.

Software, something like Iron Pigeon

$3,000–$5,000diagnostic

Software your business runs on. It starts with a paid diagnostic, then a monthly team builds it in stages.

Iron Pigeon is already in daily production at its first tenant, Palm Build, where Chris Zambito is CTO. About Iron Pigeon ↗

  • A written plan for what to build first
  • The monthly team price, in writing, before you commit
  • A fixed total for the whole system up front

Next step Book a call. If it fits, we start with the diagnostic.

In writing, on every proposal03
01

If approved work runs long, that's on us.

The price you signed is the price you pay for that scope.

02

New work gets a new number first.

Before we start anything you add, you get a price and approve it.

03

You own the code and the accounts.

Domains, hosting and analytics are registered in your name.

How payments work

One price. Pay it up front, or in equal parts.

Your fixed price can be split into a fixed number of equal monthly payments, agreed in the proposal. It isn't a subscription: the total stays the same and the payments end.

Example: one fixed price ÷ six equal payments. Your proposal sets the number.

Questions03

Is there a monthly fee after launch?

Only if you choose ongoing SEO and automations, or a monthly software team. Ongoing SEO is month-to-month after the first 90 days, with a cap stated up front.

Do I get a written estimate?

Yes. For websites and landing pages, usually the same day as the call. For custom tools and software, the paid diagnostic produces it.

Can you work with our existing tools?

Usually. Tell us what you use on the first call and we'll say plainly if it's a problem.
