Hey there! I'm Elisabeth, and I completely understand where you're coming from. Running a business is no small feat, and you know that having a website is a must—not just any website, but one that dazzles and attracts customers effortlessly. It needs to be authentic, professional, and visually stunning.
As you start exploring quotes, it's no surprise if you find your jaw dropping in disbelief. The price tags can be shocking! For many passionate business owners, investing in a website can feel like one of the largest financial commitments you'll face. Your website represents your heart and soul, often serving as your first impression outside your established community.
It should showcase the very best of your business. It’s easy to see why professional websites often come with a hefty price tag as they are balancing a creation that displays the very best of your new business and design. But sometimes the commitment ends up costing as much as an entire paycheck, especially when you're juggling all the responsibilities of a one-person operation. But guess what? I'm here to change that frustrating narrative.
Every new small business deserves the same fabulous online visibility that the big players enjoy. Let’s turn that into a beautiful reality together! I offer affordable website development services because I truly believe that everyone deserves a fantastic online presence, no matter their budget constraints.
Ok, a few things I have learned over the years:
A successful website doesn’t have to be massive.
Many assume that a site needs to boast a lavish dozen pages to be truly effective and eye-catching. After all, that is how all the big successful companies seem to do it, right? However, let's not forget that those big businesses aren’t just starting out like you are; they’ve had years to accumulate content and polish their presence. I would also like to argue that sometimes, less can definitely be more when you are just starting out on your journey. A lean, yet captivating website can still achieve remarkable success if it focuses on three essential elements:
A platform to share your mission and story.
A space to showcase your services or products.
A contact or checkout page.
Starting small is smart—it builds a strong foundation that can grow alongside your business, all while keeping your initial investment affordable.
New small businesses are OVERPAYING.
Yes, you read that right—many new small businesses are spending far more than they need to on their websites. Let’s break down the facts:
The average cost of designing a new website ranges from $2,000 to $10,000, with costs soaring even higher for larger projects. Frequently, the available website packages come loaded with features and extras that go far beyond the needs of a startup, leading to an overzealous—and costly—investment. So, let’s ask the real question: how many new small businesses can actually afford this?
Then there’s the branding trap. Many new businesses take the plunge and invest in a full branding package right off the bat, only to find that their brand identity and mission don’t quite gel after a year. Instead of cultivating a cohesive, long-lasting identity—ideally one that stands strong for 5+ years—this approach can lead to a hasty and costly rebranding effort down the line. It’s wiser for small businesses to wait a few years to establish a clear mission before diving into brand development that truly reflects their vision. That said, it doesn’t mean you have to forego any branding at the start! A touch of light branding is totally fine; just know that it’s perfectly acceptable to take your time before making that next big investment.
It's completely acceptable to rebrand and create a new or updated website once you're more established. Seriously, I'm giving you the green light to ease into it! Sometimes, we just need that little nudge to start small and a reminder that not every business begins with all the bells and whistles. As a new entrepreneur, you're making choices every day to balance what you NEED and what you WANT. We all desire the best for our businesses, and guess what? It’s perfectly fine to opt for a website that may be smaller in scale yet still packs a powerful punch for your current needs. Embrace the journey and know that you can grow at your own pace!
I’m not saying every small business is overspending; I’m highlighting that new small businesses are often paying too much before their brand, story, mission, and services are fully developed. Emerging entrepreneurs need an online presence that propels them forward without straining their budgets.
It’s time for designers to offer packages that serve as a perfect "in-the-meantime" solution—a website that’s personal, uniquely crafted, and built to grow alongside your business, without the pressure of premature, all-encompassing branding. New entrepreneurs deserve a tailored, affordable approach that lets them thrive without overspending. That is why I am choosing to step up, and make custom affordable website design services available to our new entrepreneurs friends.
