How much should your website actually cost?

1. The build itself. This is the one-time investment to get a site shipped. Range: $0 (DIY) to $30,000+ (high-end agency). At SkillMammoth, our three packages are $999 (Lite), $2,999 (Core), and $7,999 (Pro), all available as one-time payment or monthly Easy Start financing.

2. Ongoing care. Hosting, security updates, content edits, SEO maintenance, reporting. Most operators forget about this until month 6 when they realize they need to change a phone number and there's nobody to call. Range: $0/mo (DIY) to $2,500/mo (managed marketing platforms). Our support plans are $299/mo (Essentials), $699/mo (Growth), or $1,499/mo (Authority).

3. Your time. The single biggest cost on DIY platforms. A "free" Wix site takes 200+ hours to build well. At $50/hr (a low estimate of your hourly value), that's $10,000 in opportunity cost, invisible in the price tag, but absolutely real.

If a one-time check for $999, $2,999, or $7,999 isn't how you'd rather buy, our Easy Start option spreads the build payment across the financing term and pairs it with your support plan, so you start with a single predictable monthly invoice from day one. Easy Start adds the build cost on top of whichever support plan you pick:

• Lite Easy Start: $179/mo build cost for 8 months, on top of your support plan
• Core Easy Start: $179/mo build cost for 18 months, on top of your support plan
• Pro Easy Start: $499/mo build cost for 18 months, on top of your support plan

You can upgrade your support plan to Growth ($699/mo) or Authority ($1,499/mo) at any point, the build financing portion stays the same. Most clients start on Essentials and upgrade once organic SEO traffic kicks in around month 6.

* DIY total includes ~200 hours of your time at $50/hr.

** Managed-platform total reflects typical 24-month contract; you don't own the site at the end.
