TL;DR
Eight website redesign services that publish a price, read on their own pages on October 28, 2026, ranked for a 5 to 50 person service business. The spread runs from $99 a month (CalTech Web) and $499 flat (Launch72) through $3,000 (Skill Mammoth, ours) to $5,750 to $14,390 (Built-Right Digital), $8,000 and up per site (WebFX) and $12,000 to $24,000 (Hook Agency). The roundups that rank for this search list enterprise agencies at $25,000 to $500,000 and never say a number. The two questions that sort this list are whether you own the site when you leave and whether the SEO migration is included, and both are answered for every entry below.
Disclosure first: Skill Mammoth builds websites for contractors and local practices, and we are on this list. The other seven are ranked by fit for a small service business, by what they charge when they will say, and by what we would tell a friend with a six-person company, the same way we rank the small business SEO companies and every other roundup here. Any service that would not print a price is not on the list, which is why several big names are missing.
Read the search results first
Search "website redesign services" on October 28, 2026 and the page is half agency sales pages (a St. Louis shop, a California one, two offshore development firms) and half roundups. The roundups are the problem. The one at position eight lists fifteen agencies with price bands from $25,000 to $500,000 and says on its own page that the bands are "directional." The one at position three is a design subscription company ranking its competitors. None of them was written for an owner with an eleven-year-old site and a $5,000 budget, which is most of the people typing the phrase. "Small business website redesign" is searched 1,900 times a month on its own, and it lands on the same pages.
So this list has one rule: a price on the vendor's own page, quoted as printed. If you want to know whether you need a redesign at all, and what the process looks like, read the website redesign guide first. This page is for choosing who does it.
1. Skill Mammoth (ours)
Three flat prices: $1,000 for a five-page site with an instant lead funnel and chatbot, $3,000 for the Smart Website with up to 10 service pages and 15 service-area pages, call tracking, missed call text back and the Google Business Profile setup, and $8,000 for the version with custom animation, interview video and a 90-day conversion audit. The $3,000 build is also $150 a month for 24 months on Easy Start, our own payment plan with no credit check. Every site runs on a monthly plan from $350 that includes hosting, security, updates and two edit requests a month, so there is no maintenance plan or plugin bill on top.
What makes it a redesign service rather than a design shop: the redirect map, the carried-over page titles and the schema are included on every tier, because we are the ones who would have to explain a traffic drop otherwise. The code sits in a repository under your name and the domain is yours, so you can leave with all of it; why we build your website explains the rule and the ownership in full. Fit: a contractor or local practice that wants the phone to ring and wants to own the result. Catch: we require that the site be ours to build, and we are a small Minneapolis team, not a 200-person agency. The full ladder is on the pricing page.
2. Launch72
A flat $499 for a custom small-business website, built in 72 hours, "no monthly fees, ever," per the vendor's page. The pitch is production efficiency: a fixed process handles the repetitive work so the designers spend their time on the decisions that matter, and the savings go to the customer instead of an agency margin. Launch72 is Canadian (the site is launch72.ca) and serves US businesses as well; the domain is about $15 a year on top.
Fit: a one-location business that needs a clean, fast site this week and has no marketing budget beyond it. Catch: at $499 you are buying a production template with your content in it, which is fine if the template converts. Ask who hosts the site and whether you get the files, and ask what the redirect plan is if you are replacing an existing site with ranking pages. Compare it with the other sub-$1,500 options in affordable web design for small business.
3. CalTech Web
One plan: an all-inclusive $99 a month, no onboarding fee, no design fee, no launch fee, month to month with no contract. The $99 covers custom design, unlimited content updates, free redesigns, managed hosting, SSL, backups, basic on-page SEO, forms and click-to-call setup, and domain registration in your name. The page says it hands over the website files if you cancel, and offers a 30-day money-back guarantee under which you keep the site.
Fit: the smallest budgets, and owners who want to never think about the site again. Catch: it is a subscription forever, $1,188 a year, and "unlimited updates" means a queue, not a designer on call. The redesign is free because the design depth is what a $99 subscription can afford. For a two-truck company it is a reasonable floor; for a company that lives on search rankings, the SEO layer is thin.
4. Sunny HQ
A managed WordPress site at $997 setup plus $199 a month, designed and launched in two days per the page, up to seven pages, with enterprise hosting and ongoing support bundled. The page positions it against agencies and against do-it-yourself builders at once: more polished than Wix, cheaper up front than a studio.
Fit: a service business that wants WordPress specifically, with someone else running the updates. Catch: year one is $3,385 and every year after is $2,388, which passes a flat $3,000 build inside 14 months. It is WordPress on their hosting, so the plugin and PHP patching we cover in who owns your website is theirs to do, and the exit terms are the thing to get in writing before the setup fee clears.
5. Built-Right Digital
A contractor-specific agency with a stand-alone website tab on its pricing page: Professional Basic at $5,750, Optimized Standard at $9,590 and Elite Custom at $14,390, one-time. Each tier is also sold monthly at $599, $999 or $1,499 for twelve consecutive payments, then $199 a month for hosting. Basic is a template-based lead generation layout; Standard is a custom layout; Elite is a ground-up build with integrations for multi-location brands.
Fit: an established contractor who wants a trade-specific agency and a custom layout, with a budget in the five figures. Catch: the monthly route costs more than the one-time price over the year, and hosting continues at $199 after. Ask whether the site and the hosting account are yours at the end of the twelve payments. The agency also sells SEO and paid ads, which is where the "full services" tab on the same page starts.
6. WebFX
The largest agency on the list, with a web design pricing page that says "Starting at $8,000/site" and sends everything else to a custom quote. The same page publishes market averages by business size, $6,500 to $15,000 for a basic small business site, $15,000 to $50,000 intermediate, $50,000 to $100,000 advanced, drawn from a survey of 250 marketing professionals rather than from WebFX's own invoices. Website redesign is listed as a service without a price.
Fit: a mid-market company that wants a large team, a project manager and a content department under one contract. Catch: a 5 to 50 person service business is not the customer the page is written for, and the quote will reflect that. If you are reading this list because three quotes came back an order of magnitude apart, this is the one at the top.
7. Hook Agency
A Minneapolis agency that works with roofers, HVAC and plumbing companies and prints its prices: a standard website at $1,000 a month, $12,000 total split into 12 months, and a custom website at $2,000 a month, $24,000 total. Both are marked "only available when paired with a recurring service." The standard site is built on Hook's own code base, live in about 45 days, on Hook's hosting. The pricing page says most clients invest $5,000 to $8,000 a month across search, paid ads and the website, with local SEO at $3,750 a month and Google Ads management from $2,000.
Fit: a contractor doing a few million a year who wants one agency for the site, the SEO and the ads, and has the budget the page describes. Catch: the website is four times our Smart Website, it is only sold alongside a retainer, and it lives on Hook's hosting and code base, so ask what you keep if the retainer ends. The work is good; the price is the filter.
8. Teamtown
Not a redesign shop, and on the list because it prints a price and some owners will prefer the model: a creative team on subscription, from $3,000 a month on the Essentials plan, with web design listed among the deliverables alongside email, print, ads, social and branding. Two projects at a time, unused capacity rolls over a month, pause or cancel with 15 days' notice, and a 15-day money-back guarantee.
Fit: a company that needs design every month, not once, and would rather have a team than a vendor per project. Catch: a redesign takes more than a month of a two-project queue, so the site costs $6,000 to $9,000 by the time it ships, and the plan does not include hosting, SEO migration or the automation layer a service business site needs.
Do it yourself: the baseline
Wix runs $17.77 to $159.77 a month and Squarespace $19 to $99 a month on annual billing, and both will host a redesign you build on a weekend. The money is small; the cost is the weekends, the redirects nobody sets, and the template speed on a phone. The do you need a CMS guide covers when a builder is the right answer, and the website cost calculator prices the three paths against each other for your page count.
Not sure which band you belong in?
The free website audit is a 10-minute recording of your current site through a homeowner's eyes plus a written report. It tells you whether you need a $499 refresh, a $3,000 rebuild or nothing at all.
What they charge, side by side
Prices as printed on each vendor's page on October 28, 2026. Ownership is what the vendor's own page says; "ask" means it is not stated.
| Service | Published price | Model | You own the site after? | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skill Mammoth (ours) | $1,000, $3,000 or $8,000; or $150 a month for 24 months | Flat build plus a plan from $350 a month | Yes: repository, domain and content in your name | Contractors and local practices that want leads traced and the site owned |
| Launch72 | $499 | Flat, 72-hour build, no monthly fees | Ask | One-location business, no marketing budget |
| CalTech Web | $99 a month | Subscription, month to month, no setup | Files handed over on cancel | Smallest budgets, zero maintenance |
| Sunny HQ | $997 setup plus $199 a month | Managed WordPress subscription | Ask | Businesses that want WordPress run for them |
| Built-Right Digital | $5,750, $9,590 or $14,390; or $599, $999 or $1,499 a month for 12 months, then $199 hosting | Tiered build, contractor-specific | Ask | Established contractors wanting a custom layout |
| WebFX | $8,000 and up per site | Custom quote, large agency | Ask | Mid-market companies wanting a full department |
| Hook Agency | $1,000 a month ($12,000 total) standard, $2,000 a month ($24,000 total) custom | 12 monthly payments, only with a recurring service | Ask; hosted on Hook's code base | Contractors with a $5,000-plus monthly marketing budget |
| Teamtown | $3,000 a month | Creative subscription, cancel with 15 days' notice | Ask | Companies that need design every month |
| Wix / Squarespace | $17.77 to $159.77 / $19 to $99 a month | Do it yourself | Content yes; the site stays on the builder | Side businesses and first sites |
| Verdict | Under $1,000 buys a template with your name on it. $3,000 buys a site built for the phone call with the migration done. Above $8,000 you are paying for an agency's team, and the question becomes whether you need the team or the site. | |||
What the quote has to include
Whoever you pick, the quote should list the page count with a per-page rate, template or custom, the integrations by name, who writes the copy, the SEO migration steps itemized (crawl, redirect map, titles carried over, schema, Search Console), hosting and maintenance after launch, and who owns the site and domain when the relationship ends. A quote that skips the migration is the one that loses your rankings, and a quote that skips ownership is the one that keeps your site. The redesign guide walks the ten-step process, and the ownership guide has the five questions to ask before you sign.
How to choose between them
By budget
Under $1,000: Launch72, CalTech Web or a builder, and accept that the result is a template. $1,000 to $5,000: our $1,000 and $3,000 tiers, or Sunny HQ's first year. $5,000 to $15,000: Built-Right, WebFX's starting point, Hook's standard site. Above that: Hook's custom build, or an agency that would not print a price for this list.
By whether you need to own it
Two of the eight say on their own pages that you leave with the site: CalTech Web hands over the files, and ours sits in a repository under your name from day one. For the rest, ask before you pay. The subscription models (CalTech, Sunny HQ, Teamtown, the builders) are the ones where the answer matters most, because the monthly fee is the lease.
By trade
Contractors have three trade-specific options here: ours, Built-Right and Hook, at $3,000, $5,750 and $12,000 for the comparable tier. The difference is less the design than what is wired in: call tracking, missed call text back, the instant estimate tool and the CRM connection are included in ours, sold separately or inside a retainer at the other two. Trade examples are in roofing website design, HVAC website design and plumber website design, and the guide to web design for contractors lists the six things every page needs.

Frequently asked questions
How much do website redesign services cost?
Among services that publish a price, from $99 a month (CalTech Web) and $499 flat (Launch72) to $3,000 (Skill Mammoth), $5,750 to $14,390 (Built-Right Digital), $8,000 and up per site (WebFX) and $12,000 to $24,000 (Hook Agency), as printed on October 28, 2026. Agencies that do not publish prices typically quote $15,000 to $40,000 for a semi-custom small business site.
What is the difference between a website redesign service and a web design agency?
A redesign service replaces a site that exists, which means the job includes the SEO migration: crawling the old URLs, redirecting them, carrying over titles and schema. A design agency builds from a blank page. Most agencies do both, but only some include the migration in the price, and that is the line item to ask about.
Is a $499 website redesign any good?
For a one-location business with no marketing budget, a $499 production site from Launch72 is a working website in three days, which beats a dated one. It is a template with your content, so the conversion depends on the template, and you should ask who hosts it and whether redirects from the old site are included.
Should I pay monthly or one-time for a redesign?
Monthly subscriptions ($99 at CalTech Web, $199 at Sunny HQ after setup) cost less this year and more by year two, and the site usually stays with the vendor. A one-time build you own (ours at $3,000, or $150 a month on Easy Start until it is paid off) costs more up front and nothing to keep. Decide based on whether you expect to still be in business in three years.
Will a redesign service keep my Google rankings?
Only if it does the migration: one-to-one redirects from every old URL, page titles carried over, schema added, and the sitemap resubmitted at launch. Ask each vendor whether that is included, in writing. Of the eight here, we state it on our pricing; the others should be asked.
Do I own my website after a redesign?
It depends on the vendor. CalTech Web says it hands over the files on cancellation. Skill Mammoth puts the code in a repository under your name and registers the domain to you. For the others, the page does not say, so ask who holds the domain, the hosting account and the code before you pay the deposit.
