Web design in Tampa, hand-coded, priced on the page, and yours to keep.
Most agencies in this city will not tell you what a website costs until you have sat through a call. We put the number here. Every site is written by hand, with no theme and no page builder, so it loads quickly on a phone with one bar, and the design, the code, the words and the domain belong to you from the day it launches.
Six things a hand-coded site does that a template does not.
A good looking site that nobody can use on a phone is an expensive business card. These are the choices that decide whether yours picks up the calls.
-
No theme, no page builder
Each page is written for your business rather than assembled from blocks. There is no plugin stack loading before your phone number appears, which is why the sites are quick, and why there is little to break or to patch.
-
The call button is where your thumb is
Most visitors arrive on a phone and many are in a hurry. Click-to-call stays fixed within reach, forms are short and actually deliver, and the first screen answers who you are, where you work and how to reach you.
-
A page for each service, written to be found
People search for the thing they need, not for your company name. Each service and each area you cover gets its own page with a proper title, description and structured data, so Google has something specific to match to a specific search.
-
Your real photos, licenses and prices
A stock photo of a smiling stranger tells a customer nothing. We use your work, your team and your van, and we put license numbers and service areas where people look for them before trusting a stranger with the house.
-
A fixed price before we start
You get one number, in writing, for the scope we agree. If you later want more pages, that gets its own fixed quote before any work begins. There is no hourly meter running in the background.
-
Nothing is rented
The site is hosted on Netlify, and it is yours: the files, the domain, the words. Leave whenever you like and we hand over the lot. That is not true of every website subscription, so it is worth asking before you sign anything.
Inside the Show Out price.
Show Out is the website on its own, done properly. It is the plan most small businesses start with, and it is a complete site rather than a deposit on one.
You get up to five pages. For most local businesses that is a home page, a page for each main service, an about page and a contact page. Search groundwork is part of the build: titles, descriptions, structured data, and the Google Business Profile set up for the map results.
Afterward the monthly fee covers hosting, the security certificate, backups and small edits such as new hours, prices or photos. Anything bigger, such as another page, gets a fixed quote. More on the search side is on the page about local SEO in Tampa.
- A hand-coded site of up to five pages
- Click-to-call and quote forms that deliver
- On-page SEO and structured data on every page
- Local SEO: service-area pages and directory listings
- Google Business Profile set up for the map pack
- Built so assistants can lift a clear answer from it
- Hosting, security, backups and small edits
- Follow-up automation such as missed-call text-back
- Monthly content
Those are in Pick Up and Speak Up. The site stays yours either way.
From the first call to a live site.
Two to three weeks from the day we agree the scope. The slow part is almost never the code. It is collecting photos, service lists and license details from an owner who is busy running the place.
-
A free concept first
Before any money, we design your homepage: real layout, real copy direction, your services and your market, with a short list of what is costing you calls and a fixed price to build it. It takes a few days. If you do not like it, that is the end of it.
-
Agree the scope and the price
Which pages, which features, which photos you will send. One number, in writing. This is the point where a bigger site gets its bigger price, so there are no surprises afterward.
-
You send the raw material
A short set of written questions, your photos, your logo if you have one, and your license details. Thirty minutes on a call covers most of it.
-
We build it and you review it
You see the pages as they take shape, on your own phone as well as on a desktop.
-
Launch, with the search groundwork
The domain is pointed at the new site, the sitemap goes to Google, the profile is tied in, and the live pages are checked on a real phone. We do not call it launched until they pass.
-
Looked after afterward
The monthly fee keeps it hosted, secured and backed up, and covers the small edits. If you move on, you take the files with you.
Hand-coded, a builder, or a template.
A builder is a sensible choice for some businesses, and we would rather you chose it than overpay. This is how the three usually differ.
| Website builder | Template on WordPress | Hand-coded by us | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | Usually carries the platform's own code on every page | Depends on the theme and how many plugins are added | Only the code your pages need |
| What you own | The content, but often not a version that runs elsewhere | The files and the database, if you run your own hosting | The files, the domain and the words |
| Monthly cost | A subscription for as long as the site is up | Hosting plus plugin and theme licenses | $97/mo to have us host it, or take the files and host them yourself |
| Looks | Distinct only as far as the template allows | As distinct as the theme and the effort put in | Designed around your business |
| Best when | You only need to exist online and can do it yourself | You have someone in house who maintains it | The site has a job to do, like making the phone ring |
If your current site is already bringing in the work you want, do not replace it. Pick Up adds the follow-up to it for a monthly fee.
What a website costs here.
The three plans and the prices below are the same ones on the homepage and the services page, and they do not change with the size of your business. Which one fits depends on what you need around the site.
-
Pick Up$200/mo
You already have a site you are happy with and you want the follow-up behind it: missed-call text-back, review requests and a booking calendar. It does not build or change a site.
-
Show Out$1,500Where the website lives
You need a real website built to be found, with the profile and the pages that make search work, and you can handle the follow-up yourself. A fixed price, the first month of hosting included, and the site is yours.
-
Speak Up$3,000$2,500/mo
You want the site and everything around it run for you: the build is included, and it stays yours even if you cancel the monthly. Thirty days' notice, no minimum term.
For context, two Tampa Bay agencies publish ranges. thirteen05 puts freelancers at $1,500 to $10,000 and agencies at $6,000 to $25,000 or more. Marca, in St. Petersburg, says most small businesses invest between $2,000 and $10,000. Both sell websites, and so do we, so read all of it as a seller's view. The full breakdown is in what a small business website costs in Tampa.
A bigger site costs more. A twelve-page site with four service areas is not a five-page site, and you get the number before any work starts.
Speak Up's founding rate is for the first three clients, and stays locked while they stay. Everything each plan includes.
A good site is the start of being found, not the whole of it.
A website will not rank by itself. It is the page Google reads, and that page still needs a complete profile, reviews and time.
We build the site so that it is easy for search engines to understand and fast for people to use, and that does help. Whether it reaches the first page for a competitive term is not ours to promise, and nobody honest will promise it. The work that carries it further is laid out on the page about SEO in Tampa.
We are also new, with no client results to show you yet. We would rather say so than invent a case study. The free concept is how you judge the work before you pay for it.
- Ask for the price in writing and what changes it
- Ask who owns the design, the code and the domain
- Ask what you keep if you cancel
- Ask what a change costs after launch
- Open their other sites on your phone, away from wifi
Straight answers about web design in Tampa.
It ranges widely, from a few hundred dollars on a builder to well past ten thousand at an agency. Ours is $1,500 for a hand-coded site of up to five pages, then $97 a month to host and look after it, and Speak Up at $2,500 a month includes the build. Anything larger gets a fixed quote before work starts.
We are new, and we want the portfolio more than the margin. That is the whole reason and there is no catch in the contract. If you would rather pay a bigger agency for the reassurance of a client list, that is a reasonable trade, and we cannot offer you one yet.
Yes, on every plan. The design, the code, the words and the domain are yours, and we hand you the files if you leave. The automation behind Pick Up and Speak Up runs on our platform, and if you go, your contacts and conversation history are exported to you.
Hosting on Netlify, the security certificate, backups, keeping the site running, and small edits like new hours, prices or photos. The first month is included with the build. You can cancel the $97 any time and we send you the files.
Two to three weeks from the day we agree the scope. The delay is nearly always getting photos and details from the owner, so the faster you send those, the faster it moves.
It will be built so Google can read and index it, with a page for each service, titles and descriptions set properly and structured data in place. Where it ranks depends on competition, reviews and time, and we do not promise a position. The groundwork is the same one described for local SEO.
Maybe not. If it brings in the work you want, keep it and add the follow-up with Pick Up. If it loads slowly on a phone, hides your number or has no page for what you sell, a rebuild usually pays for itself, and the free concept shows you what it would look like.
Yes. The pages are translated for real and Google can index each one separately, rather than a widget translating on the fly. A second language is extra scope, so it is quoted up front.
