Optional maintenance

Your Website. Your Choice.

Monthly maintenance isn't required to purchase a website from Project Div. If you'd prefer ongoing help with updates and website upkeep, we offer optional care plans.

Website maintenance is optional and is not required to purchase a website.

Care plans don't include hosting or third-party licenses unless separately agreed.

  • Basic Care

    $75/month

    Includes

    • Routine WordPress core updates
    • Theme and plugin updates
    • Scheduled backups
    • Basic uptime monitoring
    • Basic website health checks

    Does not include unlimited troubleshooting, emergency recovery, content changes, or new features.

  • Growth Care

    $150/month

    Everything in Basic Care, plus

    • Up to 1 hour of small website content edits per month
    • Updates to existing text and images
    • Minor adjustments to existing pages
    • Routine website support requests within the agreed scope

    Unused content-edit time does not roll over. Major redesigns, new pages, advanced development, and integrations are quoted separately.

Additional costs

What Else Might Your Website Cost?

No surprises: any relevant additional costs are disclosed before you approve your project proposal.
  • 01

    Domain registration

    Your domain name is registered with a domain registrar and generally needs to be renewed on an ongoing basis.

  • 02

    Website hosting

    Every WordPress website needs hosting. Costs vary depending on the provider and what your website needs.

  • 03

    Premium themes and plugins

    Depending on the project, premium Elementor, Divi, or other plugin licenses may be required.

  • 04

    Content and photography

    Professional copywriting, custom photography, and premium stock images may cost extra.

  • 05

    Advanced features

    E-commerce, third-party integrations, custom functionality, and other advanced requirements may need a custom quote.

  • 06

    Ongoing SEO

    Basic on-page SEO setup is included in our packages. Ongoing keyword research, content development, local SEO campaigns, and monthly SEO management are not.

How payments work

Simple Payments. Clear Expectations.

  1. 1

    Step 1 — 50% deposit

    A 50% upfront payment is required to begin your project.

  2. 2

    Step 2 — Design & development

    We build your website according to the approved project scope.

  3. 3

    Step 3 — Remaining 50%

    The remaining 50% is due before your website launches.

Your written proposal sets the final project price, deliverables, scope, and relevant terms. For complex custom development projects, payment milestones may be defined separately in the approved proposal.

Price factors

Why Do Some Websites Cost More Than Others?

Price reflects the work involved, not a guarantee of results. A more expensive website isn't automatically better for your business — the right one fits your goals and budget.

  • Number of pages

    More pages mean more layout, content placement, and testing.

  • Custom design requirements

    Unique layouts take more design time than adapting a template.

  • Theme or builder selection

    Some themes and builders need premium licenses or extra setup.

  • Content readiness

    Ready-to-use text and images keep projects simpler; content creation adds work.

  • Custom functionality

    Features that don't exist out of the box need to be planned and built.

  • E-commerce features

    Products, payments, and shipping settings add setup and testing.

  • Third-party integrations

    Connecting booking, CRM, or other tools requires configuration and testing.

  • Migration complexity

    Moving content and preserving links from an existing site takes care.

  • SEO requirements

    Basic setup is included; deeper SEO work is separate.

  • Additional revisions

    Extra rounds beyond your package add design and development time.

Pricing FAQ

Website Pricing Questions

  • Can I really get a website for $500?

    Yes. The Starter Website starts at $500 for up to 3 standard pages built on WordPress with a template-based design customized to your branding, using content you provide. Hosting, domains, and any premium licenses are separate, and your final price is confirmed in a written proposal.

  • What's included in the Starter package?

    Up to 3 standard pages, WordPress setup, a template-based design customized to your branding, Elementor or Divi where appropriate, mobile-responsive design, a basic contact form, social links, basic on-page SEO setup, placement of your text and images, 1 revision round, basic pre-launch testing, and 7 days of post-launch defect corrections within the agreed scope.

  • What's the difference between Starter and Business?

    Business (from $1,500) allows up to 7 standard pages, more customized layouts, a customized contact form, basic blog setup if required, Google Analytics setup, 2 revision rounds, and 14 days of post-launch defect corrections. Starter (from $500) covers up to 3 pages with a template-based design and 1 revision round.

  • Is hosting included in the website price?

    No. WordPress websites need hosting, which is paid separately to a hosting provider. Costs vary by provider and website needs, and we'll explain your options before you approve your proposal.

  • Do I need to purchase Elementor Pro or Divi?

    It depends on your project. Some websites can be built with free tools, while others need a premium license such as Elementor Pro or Divi. Any license your project needs will be disclosed in your proposal.

  • Is monthly maintenance required?

    No. Website maintenance is optional and is not required to purchase a website. Care plans are available from $75/month if you'd like ongoing help.

  • Can I update my website myself?

    Yes. WordPress, Elementor, and Divi let you edit text and images yourself, and we'll show you how to make everyday updates.

  • What happens if I need additional pages?

    Additional pages beyond your package's limit can be added for an additional fee. We'll quote them before any extra work begins.

  • Do you offer custom website quotes?

    Yes. Custom development is priced based on the agreed scope and technical requirements. Tell us what you need, and we'll prepare a written proposal.

  • Do I own my website after paying for it?

    Ownership, access, and third-party licensing terms are defined in your written project agreement, so you'll know exactly what applies to your project before it starts.

  • When do I pay for my website?

    Our standard structure is a 50% deposit to begin and the remaining 50% before launch. Complex custom projects may use separate milestones defined in the approved proposal.

  • Does website pricing include SEO?

    Basic on-page SEO setup is included in the Starter and Business packages. Ongoing keyword research, content development, local SEO campaigns, and monthly SEO management are not included, and no package guarantees rankings.
