Starting prices. One clear quote.
Everything I build is custom, so exact prices come from a short conversation, not a menu. But you deserve to know what things cost before you reach out. These are the starting points for the simplest version of each. If you want the reasoning behind the numbers, I wrote up what a small business website should cost in 2026 and how much a bookkeeper actually costs.
Start with a project
One-time builds. One price, one clear deliverable.
Ongoing, month-to-month
Cancel anytime. No long contracts, ever.
Partnership plans
One monthly number and I run the online side of your business. Builds are quoted separately above; these are the ongoing plans. This is most of what I do now.
Those are founding rates: setup waived and locked in for as long as you stay, for a small number of Pennsylvania businesses. In return, your results become a case study. Ask about a founding spot
We talk it through
A short conversation about your business, what you need, and what a win looks like.
I scope the work
I map out exactly what the project involves, so the price reflects your job, not a template.
You get one clear quote
The full price in writing, usually within a day. Nothing gets added later without your okay.

Pricing questions
How much does a website cost?
A single custom landing page is $299, and full multi-page websites start at $499. Bigger builds with more pages, booking, or integrations cost more. Every site is scoped to your business, so the exact number comes in one clear quote before any work starts.
What does the AI receptionist cost, and why is it worth it?
It's a one-time build from $399 at founding rates, and you own it. It runs in your own accounts, so the ongoing cost is just usage billed at cost, usually $10 to $30 a month at real small-business call volume, no markup. Compare that to human answering services at $245 to $1,399 a month, forever. Want her getting sharper every month? Trained & Tuned is $99/mo: real-call reviews, refined answers, menu and prices kept current the day they change.
What is a founding rate?
I'm taking a small number of founding Pennsylvania clients at rates well below what they'll be once my list fills, with setup waived. That rate is locked in for as long as you stay. In exchange, I ask founding clients to let me use the results as a case study. When the founding spots fill, new clients pay the regular rate.
What is the AI setup session?
AI tools like Claude are powerful, but setting them up right for a business isn't user friendly. In one hands-on hour I set Claude up for you, build your first real workflows around your actual work, and teach you how to use it day to day. Then I'm on call for 14 days while it becomes a habit. AI consultants bill $150 to $350 an hour for this; mine is a flat $249 with the support included.
Can you get my business recommended by AI like ChatGPT?
That's the newest part of being found online, and almost nobody local is doing it yet. When someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI for 'the best salon near me,' those answers come from how your website and business listings are structured. Every site I build includes that structure, the same way it includes regular SEO. It's called answer engine optimization, and it's included, not an upsell.
What exactly is a mini-app?
A small custom tool built around one repetitive task in your business, whatever currently eats your time or lives in a messy spreadsheet. Built around exactly how you work, so it takes a tap instead of an afternoon. Custom software shops quote $10,000 and up for tools like these. Mine run $199 to $499 right now depending on how much the tool does, founding rates while I build my Pittsburgh client list, because I build with AI and keep the scope tight. That number goes up once the list fills.
Why 'starting at' instead of exact prices?
Because the work is genuinely custom. A one-page site for a salon and a one-page site with online booking and three integrations are different jobs. The starting price is the floor for the simplest version, and you get the exact all-in number in writing before you commit to anything.
Do I own my website on a payment plan?
Yes. Your domain is yours from day one, and the files are yours once the build is paid. If a big day-one bill is the problem, builds of $499 and up can be paid monthly instead, and I host the site while you pay it off. Just ask and I'll put it in your quote.
Do you require long contracts?
No long contracts, ever. One-time projects are quoted per project, and monthly plans are month-to-month. If something isn't earning its keep, you can walk. That's on me to prevent.
