A website you own outright, at a published price
A fixed six-page site is $2,950. Hosting is $25, $89 or $179 a month. Email is $9 a seat. Those are the prices — not starting-at figures, and not a range that narrows once you have sat through a discovery meeting.
Any vendor will quote you a monthly number. The question the monthly number is usually asked instead of is what happens if you stop paying it. That one is answered alongside, in writing, before you call.
“If I stop paying, do I keep the site, the design files, and the domain?”
Ask it of any vendor quoting you a monthly price, and ask for the answer in writing. Ours is above. As of August 2026, of six vendors selling monthly website leases into Southeast Louisiana, not one publishes an answer.
Two different products, priced separately
A fixed-scope small-business website and a custom software engagement are not the same thing bought in two sizes. They carry different scope, different risk and different work, so they are published as two tracks rather than one range with a very wide mouth.
Fixed-scope websites
A site that presents your business and collects inquiries. Every line item it can carry is priced further down this page, including the hosting and the email.
Custom Software & Web
Practice line 03, unchanged. Software that happens to be reached through a browser: it holds accounts, stores records, and talks to systems you already run.
If the site publishes content — pages, posts, news, answers — and collects inquiries through a form, it is a fixed-scope website and its whole price list is on this page. The moment somebody has to log in, or the site has to read or write data in another system you run, it stops being a website and becomes software, and it is quoted as software.
That threshold is the same whether the work comes out at $2,950 or at the top of the published $12k–$108k custom range. The $2,950 price is not a reduction in what custom software costs. It is a smaller, different, fully specified product, and pricing it openly is what lets the custom range stay honest at the other end.
What the website costs
Fixed scope means the six pages are named before anything is signed, and anything not on the list has a published price rather than a conversation later.
A page is a page. A blog is a publishing system you will operate yourself for the next five years. That is why one is $225 and the other is $1,100.
Hosting and care
Three tiers, month to month, cancellable on 30 days' notice. Annual prepay is twelve months for eleven on every one of them, and there is no setup fee on any of them.
Tier 1 — Host
Tier 2 — Host + Care
Tier 3 — Host + Care + Retainer
The gap between cheap shared hosting and a care plan is not hosting. It is about an hour of a developer's time.
Mail on your own domain
Set up properly once — MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC written down and handed over — then run for a flat monthly seat price.
Three bundles, with the year-two number attached
Year one and year two are both printed, because year two is the number that decides what this actually costs you and it is the one most quotes leave out.

Most chosenPremium
No promotional rate exists. The published price is the renewal price.
Year one is year five. There is no introductory rate here, which means there is nothing to renew away from and no cliff waiting in month thirteen.
The practice this replaces is worth naming plainly: shared hosting across the industry renews at three to six times its introductory price. $2.99 to $17.99. $3.99 to $16.99. $7.99 to $44.99. All currently published, all perfectly legal, and all the reason this paragraph exists.
What it costs in year five
A monthly price is easy to say and hard to total. Here is the same purchase written as a five-year figure, beside three monthly leases currently sold in this region — priced exactly as they publish them, with the names left out.
The system comes before the pages
A mockup is one opinion about one screen. A design system is the set of decisions every screen inherits — and it is far cheaper to argue about while it is still a preview page with nothing built on top of it. It is also how a fixed price stays fixed.
A system, not a mockup
Color, type, spacing, radius and a component library, delivered as preview pages you can open and poke at. You approve the system before a single page of your site is built on top of it — which is while changing it is still cheap.
Real pages, not comps
Every screen is a working page in a browser with your actual copy in it, not a flat image annotated with intentions. What you review is what ships, so there's no gap between the design and the build to argue about in week eight.
Changes land in minutes
Iteration is fast enough that review stops being a week-long round and starts being a conversation. You say the headline is too long; it's shorter before the call ends and you're looking at it.
One file, no server
The build runs as a standalone file with nothing to install and nothing to start. Open it offline, forward it to someone who doesn't have a login, keep the copy from three weeks ago to compare against.
Light and dark from one source
Both themes derive from the same token set rather than being maintained by hand, so they can't drift apart the way two hand-written stylesheets always eventually do.
A fixed price that stays fixed
Naming every page and every content type before the work starts is what makes $2,950 a price rather than an opening position. Anything added later has a published number against it, agreed in writing, before the work happens.
This site is the worked example
dexatron.ai was built the way described above. Its design system exists as three preview cards — written before the pages were — and they are what keeps the site from drifting as it grows. Yours will not look like ours; the method is what carries over, not the palette.
Ten core colors with measured contrast ratios rather than assumed ones, the full type scale, the radius and spacing steps, and the two standing rules everything else obeys.
Every recurring pattern on the site — buttons, pills, numbered cards, the process timeline, the FAQ accordion — with the rule that governs each one.
The page rhythm: dark hero, light content, one tinted band, dark footer. Which surfaces are allowed to follow which, so no page invents its own structure.
System first, pages second
The sequence matters more than the tooling. Approving a type scale in week one is a ten-minute conversation. Discovering in week six that every heading is a size too big is a rebuild.
Review happens against working pages the whole way through, which is why a change you ask for is usually in front of you before the call ends.
When this is the wrong answer
Roughly one in five inquiries gets told they don't need us yet. Web work is where that happens most, because plenty of sites are genuinely better served by a product somebody else already finished building.
