Pricing
Most studios make you book a call to hear a price. I’d rather you check whether we fit your budget before we talk. Every quote is a flat number agreed before work begins, and when my tools get faster, prices come down.
Monthly care plans
Community
per month, for small all-volunteer organizations
Standard
per month, the right fit for most organizations
Busy Site
per month, for sites that change every week
Most months your site needs less than an hour of hands-on work. A care plan isn’t buying my hours. It pays for the updates happening, the backups existing, and a person you know answering when something breaks on a Saturday. In the months that need more hours, they’re included. Flat means flat.
Working sessions: we get on a screen together, or sit at a table, go through the changes you want, and I make them while you watch. Standard includes one session a quarter and Busy Site one a month. Extra sessions are $75 an hour for care members and $90 an hour for anyone else.
Two standing promises. Pay yearly and get a month free. Once you’re a client your rate stays fixed; increases apply to new clients only.
For RI and MA non-profits, a new website includes the first year of care
The build is the smaller cost. What happens afterward decides whether a website lasts. So for registered non-profits in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, every new website now includes the Community care plan for twelve months at no charge. The terms are below in full.
Referrals: two months of care for every organization you send
Most of my clients came from someone I had already worked with. If you’re on a care plan and an organization you sent starts a project with me, a new website or a repair, your next two months of care are free. There’s no code or link. They write your name in the “who sent you my way” line of the project questionnaire. There’s no limit, and the organization you sent gets whatever offer is current, which for Rhode Island and Massachusetts non-profits is a free first year of care.
Projects
Every project gets one flat price before work starts. Where yours lands in the range depends on the size of the site and how ready your content is, and the quote explains the reasons.
A new website: $750 to $2,500
A content website: your story, your programs, a contact form, no online store. Design, build, your content moved in and checked, and your team shown how to run it. Most land in the middle of the range. Rhode Island and Massachusetts non-profits: includes twelve months of the Community care plan.
Website repairs: $500 to $1,500
Your existing site kept and fixed: design refreshed, problems repaired, content brought current. When repairs are the right recommendation they cost a fraction of a rebuild. How to tell which you need.
Digital asset organizing: $400 to $1,200
Your logos, photos, and documents gathered from every laptop and inbox into one organized library with backups. Priced by how much there is to sort.
Tech help for individuals: $120 per visit
For individuals, often older adults in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Up to 90 minutes at your home or over video, at your pace. We finish the thought rather than watching the clock.
What a website costs per year
After the one-time build, a typical organization on the Standard plan spends about $1,788 a year on care and about $216 a year on hosting (SiteGround, in your own name; around $36 the first year). Call it roughly $2,000 a year for a website that’s fast, backed up, and current. There’s no other invoice. If you’re a registered non-profit in Rhode Island or Massachusetts and I build the site, the first year of care is free, so year one costs the build alone.

Donations, payments, and personal information
When a project involves donations, payments, memberships, ticketing, or other personal information, I don’t build it into your website. I connect the site to a specialized platform built for that job, one that’s professionally secured, independently audited, and insured for handling sensitive data. Your website tells your story and brings people to the door. The donor’s card number lives with a processor whose whole business is protecting it, so a website problem can never become a donor-data problem. Those platforms charge their own fees, published on their own pricing pages. My part, choosing the right one and connecting it so it feels like part of your site, is flat-quoted like everything else. If you don’t need any of this, I’ll say so.
