Subscription web design
Professional web design, paid like software.
Subscription web design turns a $8,000 to $30,000 agency project into a monthly plan: with us $79 to $299, no setup fee. You get your complete website, built and run by us. What changes for you is who does the work, who carries the maintenance, and how the numbers look over three years. Short version: not you, not you, and better.
The full 3-year math
A website works for you for three to five years. Comparing only the build price hides the expensive part: keeping the site current, secure and visible. Here is the same math over 3 years:
| Route | Build | 3 years of operation | 3-year total | Your hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agency + maintenance retainer | from $9,000 | from $3,600 | from $12,600 | weeks of coordination |
| Freelancer, then DIY | from $3,000 | your time | from $3,000 + time | ongoing |
| DIY builder | $0 | $1,100 to $1,800 | up to $1,800 + 40-100 h | very high |
| Mr.Site Business plan | $0 | $6,444 | $6,444, all-inclusive | a few details online |
The subscription undercuts the agency route decisively while including what costs extra there: fresh content, technical updates, search optimization and visibility in AI answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI). The DIY builder only stays cheaper if your working hours are worth nothing. We assume they are not.

The page on how the build and operations process works describes each step, and the pricing overview of all three subscription plans shows what is included at $79, $179 and $299 per month. If your current site is over four years old, the magazine article website redesign or rebuild: a decision guide helps you decide whether a rebuild pays off.
Fine-tuning is built in
New opening hours, a price update, a fresh team photo: every plan includes a fixed number of change requests per month, implemented within 48 hours. One request is one email with connected small adjustments. Every additional request costs $49, and larger rebuilds get a fixed-price quote up front. Your subscription stays predictable, and your website stays current without you having to think about it.
Frequently asked
Subscription design, in short answers.
01 What is subscription web design?
Subscription web design replaces the one-time agency invoice with a monthly plan that covers design, build, hosting, maintenance and ongoing improvements. You pay $79 to $299 per month with us; your complete website is built and run by our team and keeps evolving after launch, while you get on with your business.
02 How much does subscription web design cost in the US?
US providers typically charge $100 to $500 per month, frequently plus a $500 to $2,000 setup fee. We charge $79 to $299 per month (plus applicable tax) with no setup fee; SSL, mobile optimization, hosting, care and SEO and GEO optimization are always included. One number, everything in it.
03 How does the build work without meetings?
The whole flow is online: you order, answer a few questions about your business in your browser, and we build concept, design, copy and technology in one proven process. You review a clickable preview, then the site goes live on your domain. A human answers your questions by email at any point, so nothing ever needs a meeting.
04 Do I own the design?
Your content is yours from day one. After 24 months of subscription you can take over the complete website including source code and design, and host it wherever you want. Until then, running it is our job, not yours.
05 How do changes work after launch?
Every plan includes a fixed number of change requests per month (one, two or four depending on plan), implemented within 48 hours. One request is one email with connected small adjustments. Every additional request costs $49; larger rebuilds get a fixed-price quote up front.
