When people hear "$350 website," the first reaction is usually a raised eyebrow. Either it sounds too cheap to be any good, or it sounds like one of those deals where the real price shows up later. Fair enough. So let's do the opposite of most web design pricing — let's lay the whole thing out, line by line, so you know exactly what you're getting and what you're not.
At SimpliCo, our Starter site is $350, one time, and it goes live in about a week. Here's what that actually buys.
Not a template you fill in yourself. We design the page around your business — your services, your service area, your photos, your colors. It's a single, well-organized page that covers everything a customer needs: what you do, where you work, why you're worth calling, and how to reach you. For a lot of local service businesses, one strong page does more than a five-page site nobody scrolls through.
Most of your visitors are on a phone, so we design for the phone first and scale up to desktop — not the other way around. Your site reads cleanly, taps easily, and loads fast on a phone held one-handed in a parking lot. That's where most of your customers actually are.
The whole point of the site is to turn a visitor into an inquiry. So your phone number is tappable, there's a simple contact form that lands in your inbox, and every section points toward one obvious next step. No dead ends, no hunting for how to reach you.
We set up the foundations so Google can actually understand your site — page title, meta description, proper headings, location keywords, and clean, fast code. This is the groundwork that helps you show up when someone searches for what you offer. It's not a full ranking campaign (more on that below), but it's the baseline done right.
We handle the technical side of getting it live — connecting your domain (yourbusiness.com), setting up secure HTTPS, and making sure everything works before it goes public. You don't need to touch a control panel or figure out DNS records.
We'll work with the photos you have and write the words for you, in plain English, so the site actually sounds like your business instead of generic filler. If you don't have great photos yet, we'll point you in the right direction — because real photos of real work beat stock every time.
Honest pricing means being clear about the edges too. A few things sit outside the Starter price on purpose:
None of that is a trapdoor. It's the difference between the thing you buy once and the things that keep running month to month. If you want the full breakdown of how website pricing works across the board, we wrote a whole piece on what a website costs for a small business.
The honest answer: because we've built a lot of these, and we don't pad the process. We're not a big agency with account managers, layers of meetings, and overhead to cover. A one-page site for a local business is a known quantity — we know exactly what it needs, we skip the parts that don't move the needle, and we build it fast. That efficiency is the discount. You're not getting less website; you're getting less markup.
It also helps that we'd rather earn a hundred local businesses' trust with fair pricing than squeeze a handful. A $350 site that gets someone their first ten calls tends to turn into a Pro upgrade, a Google Business Profile setup, and a referral down the street.
For a huge number of local businesses — trades, salons, trainers, cleaners, lawn care — yes. What matters isn't page count; it's whether the site answers a customer's questions quickly and makes it dead simple to reach you. A focused one-page site often outperforms a bloated multi-page one, because there's nowhere to get lost. We break down the must-haves in what makes a good small business website.
If you're weighing this against a DIY builder, it's worth reading Wix vs. a custom website — the sticker price on the builders looks lower until you count the monthly fees and the hours you spend wrestling with it.
A $350 SimpliCo site is a real, custom, mobile-first, one-page website — designed for your business, built to load fast, wired to bring in calls and form fills, and launched on your own domain in about a week. What's outside that price is outside it for a reason, and we tell you upfront. No mystery, no bait-and-switch, no "starting at" asterisk.
That's the whole idea behind SimpliCo: keep it simple, keep it honest, and get you online without draining your budget.
