Iowa web design & SEO pricing — no surprises.
We believe you should know what a website costs before you commit to anything. Most agencies hide their pricing behind a contact form because they want to qualify you before they quote you. We would rather just tell you.
Every project is custom, so these are ranges rather than fixed packages. Your actual cost depends on the number of pages, the complexity of the design, and the features you need. But this page gives you an honest idea of what to expect so you can make an informed decision before we ever talk.
Custom WordPress web design
$2,500 - $8,000
Every website we build is custom-designed on WordPress with Divi 5. No templates. No cookie-cutter layouts. Your site is built specifically for your business, your customers, and your goals.
What affects the price:
| Factor | Lower end ($2,500 - $4,000) | Higher end ($5,000 - $8,000) |
|---|---|---|
| Pages | 5 - 8 pages | 10 - 20+ pages |
| Design complexity | Clean, professional layout | Custom graphics, animations, advanced layouts |
| Features | Contact forms, basic SEO, mobile-responsive | E-commerce, booking systems, member areas, custom integrations |
| Content | Client provides content (we collaborate to get the best online impression) | We write the content with SEO strategy |
Every web design project includes:
- Custom WordPress design on Divi 5
- Mobile-first, responsive on all devices
- Foundational SEO (title tags, meta descriptions, schema markup, XML sitemap)
- Google Analytics setup
- Contact form integration
- 12 months of WordPress maintenance and care
- Training on how to update your site

We work within your budget
We do not have a fixed nonprofit rate because every organization's situation is different. We work within your budget to deliver the best possible website for the resources you have. That might mean a focused 5-page site that does the essentials well, or a full-featured site with donation forms, event registration, and a merchandise shop.
Most nonprofit projects fall between $1,500 and $4,000 depending on scope and complexity.
Nonprofit sites include the same 12 months of maintenance and care as our standard web design projects.
WordPress maintenance and care
$60 / month
First 12 months included free with every web design project
After your included first year, ongoing maintenance is $60 per month, invoiced annually ($720/year). This covers everything your WordPress site needs to stay secure, fast, and up to date.
What is included:
- Daily automated backups
- WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates
- Security monitoring and malware scanning
- Uptime monitoring
- Performance tracking
- Minor content updates (text changes, image swaps)
- Priority support when you need help
WordPress website repair
$200 - $500
Most WordPress repairs fall in this range. The exact cost depends on the complexity of the problem. We assess the issue first and give you an honest estimate before any work begins.
Common repairs include hacked site cleanup and malware removal, plugin conflicts and broken updates, database errors, and speed and performance optimization.
Social media marketing
$300 - $1,000 / month
Monthly social media management including strategy, content creation, scheduling, and account management on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Google Business Profile. Your actual cost depends on the number of platforms, posting frequency, and the scope of content creation.
Iowa SEO services
$300 - $800 / month
SEO is not a one-size-fits-all service. The scope, timeline, and investment depend on your market, your competition, and where your site stands today. Most ongoing Iowa SEO engagements fall between $300 and $800 per month. We provide a custom quote after auditing your current search visibility and discussing your goals.
Every website we build includes foundational SEO at no additional cost. Ongoing SEO is a separate service for businesses that want to actively grow their search presence over time.

How we handle payment
Our payment process is designed to eliminate risk for you.
No deposits. We do not ask for money upfront. We use a simple working agreement that defines the project scope and protects both sides, but your wallet stays closed until the work is done.
Invoice after launch. We do not invoice until your website is live and you are satisfied with the result. If we build something you are not happy with, we fix it before you pay. That is how confident we are in what we deliver.
Simple payment options. We accept credit cards, checks, and ACH transfers. Digital invoicing makes it easy to pay online.
Maintenance invoiced annually. After your included first year, WordPress maintenance is invoiced once per year ($720). No monthly billing surprises. One invoice, one payment, done for the year.
Frequently asked questions about pricing
Why is there a range instead of a fixed price?
Because every business is different. A 5-page site for a local service business is a different project than a 15-page site with e-commerce and booking integration. The range gives you an honest idea of what to expect. We provide an exact quote after discussing your specific project.
What if my budget is below $2,500?
We are happy to have a conversation. Depending on your needs, we may be able to build a focused site that fits your budget. We would rather build you a great 5-page site than a mediocre 10-page site. If your budget truly cannot support a custom WordPress site, we will tell you honestly and recommend alternatives.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. Your quote covers everything: design, development, SEO setup, analytics, training, and 12 months of maintenance. The only ongoing cost after year one is the $60/month care plan, and that is optional (though strongly recommended).
Do I need to pay for hosting separately?
Yes. Hosting is a separate cost and is paid directly to your hosting provider. We recommend NameHero for WordPress hosting. Typical hosting costs are $5-$15 per month. We help you set up and configure your hosting account.
How long does a project take?
Most websites take 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger or more complex projects may take 8 to 10 weeks. We give you a timeline estimate before starting.
What if I need changes after the site launches?
Minor content changes (text updates, image swaps) are included in your 12 months of maintenance. Larger changes like new pages or new features are quoted separately. We are always transparent about what is included and what costs extra before any work begins.
Do you offer payment plans?
We can discuss flexible payment arrangements on a case-by-case basis. Our goal is to make it work for your business without creating financial stress.
