Website Design
Do your shopping homework. You will see pricing ranging anywhere from $100 to $15,000+, and it’s all dependent upon the size of the agency and the type of website builder (or hand-coded system) they use.
Yes, every website is different; however, most of our typical website builds are typically $ 1,900 with a 50% down payment. We offer a wide range of website services. See our general prices here. As a part of our free estimating and consultation service, we’ll provide you with a full screencast video and a written proposal. Once the proposal is agreed upon by both parties, a 50% payment is required, along with a signed service agreement, before work commences. Other payment arrangements are also possible, such as milestone payments.
There are many services and packages to choose from, so we suggest using our website planner form or contacting us with any questions.
At 6×6 Design, a website designed and built for a business starts at $1,900; however, prices are based on your goals and the level of customization required. More complexity and customization require more development time. We provide free estimates. See our pricing guide here.
We typically build business websites with at least four pages or more; however, a simple, template-based site can start around $200 if you’re building it yourself using services such as WIX or Squarespace. A professionally designed WordPress site by a local agency like ours typically ranges from $1,500–$5,000 in our area. Fully custom websites with advanced features, integrations, or eCommerce functionality can exceed $10,000, depending on complexity.
Remember to plan for ongoing costs such as website hosting, a domain name and registration rennewal, maintenance, software updates, and optional SEO or content services to keep your site secure and performing well.
Yes, if your website is not important for business, like a hobby or private online site, and if you’re okay with rolling up your sleeves and putting some time in, DIY (Do It Yourself) website builders can be very handy and save money and time. But if you are considering one of these for business use, know there are serious limitations to consider first:
- Being found in search engines or AI queries may be significantly reduced.
- They may hold your domain name registration. This is a big problem when (not if) you decide to get a professional website that performs properly for business.
- You do not own your website, and the website pages are non-transferable.
- They lack customization and growth.
- They are poor platforms for e-commerce.
- They have many upsells you may have to purchase.
Website design costs depend on your goals, functionality, and content needs. Every website is different and tailored to your business needs; however, most of our typical non-shopping cart website builds start at $1,900 with a 50% deposit. We offer a wide range of website services, so see our general prices here.
We offer a full discovery, along with a recorded screencast video and a written proposal. Once agreed upon by both parties, a 50% payment is required along with a signed service agreement before work commences. Other payment arrangements are possible. There are many services and some packages to choose from, so take a look at the services and fees page for more information or contact us with your questions.
Website hosting is the online space where your website’s files, images, and data are stored so people can access your site through the Internet. Think of it like renting a piece of digital real estate. It’s where your website “lives.”
Every website needs hosting to be visible online. When someone types your domain name into their browser, the hosting server delivers your web pages to them.
At 6×6 Design, we provide reliable, fast, and secure dedicated cloud hosting specifically optimized for WordPress websites. Our hosting includes automatic backups, SSL security, and maintenance so you don’t have to manage the technical side yourself, or pay an added monthly fee as many other agencies love to charge for!
You may certainly purchase your own website hosting as well, but we recommend we check it first for proper resources to run a robust WordPress website.

Yes, we do, but it depends on the size and complexity of your online store. Also, e-commerce websites are more expensive. See current pricing here.
For small e-commerce websites with a limited number of products, WordPress works very well. However, larger stores that need advanced shopping cart options, complex shipping and tax systems, or multiple product variations can quickly outgrow what WordPress does best.
Because we specialize exclusively in WordPress, we’ve learned through experience that it isn’t always the ideal platform for large-scale e-commerce. In those cases, we often recommend exploring dedicated e-commerce solutions like Shopify.
(Note: We don’t build websites on Shopify. We simply want to guide you toward the right long-term platform for your business.)
Most small business websites take 1 to3 weeks to complete, depending on content readiness, project complexity, and client feedback turnaround. Larger or more customized sites may take longer.
Yes, WordPress is one of the most powerful, secure, search engine-friendly, and reliable website platforms in the world, used by over 40% of all websites online today, including brands such as Mercedes-Benz, NASA, Disney, and thousands of others. It offers unmatched flexibility, easy content editing, and thousands of secure plugins to extend functionality without heavy custom coding. Because of this, it costs less money and time to use it for developing and building websites while saving our clients money.
At 6×6 Design, we’ve been building with WordPress since its inception in 2003. It is highly search engine-friendly, customizable, extendable, and it gives our clients full ownership and long-term scalability.
Unlike other website platforms, WordPress gives our clients control without being locked into proprietary systems other designers use. The other problem with those other proprietary platforms is the ongoing cost associated with every time a website change or update is needed.
WordPress is simply ideal for small businesses that want professional results, strong SEO performance, and the ability to manage their own content easily after launch.
Yes, WordPress is secure when it’s properly maintained, added security measures are put in place (standard operation with us), and all plugins and WordPress kept up to date. The core software is developed by a global team of security experts and receives regular updates to patch vulnerabilities quickly for free.
At 6×6 Design, we take extra steps to strengthen security on every site we build. This includes installing trusted security plugins, enforcing strong passwords, setting up automatic backups, and keeping all themes and plugins current. Ongoing maintenance is the key to keeping any website safe from potential threats.
Yes. Every 6×6 Design website is built with WordPress and Elementor Pro, allowing you to securely log into the administration dashboard to easily update text, photos, and pages without coding knowledge. Training videos specific to your website are available at no charge.
