Pricing

What it costs, and what you commit to

01How much does a website cost?

One page is $800, Launch $2,000, and Business $3,500. Stores and custom features are quoted after a call. Compare the builds to see which fits.

02What does the monthly plan cost, and what does it cover?

Storefront is $150 a month for website care. Momentum is $500 with monthly SEO, ads, and review replies. Growth is $1,500 with a higher ad cap, conversion tracking, and content improvements. Ad spend is separate. Compare the plans.

03Is there a minimum term on a plan?

No. Storefront, Momentum, and Growth run month to month, with thirty days notice from either side. The build is paid by launch, so there is no build balance when you leave. Read the cancellation terms.

04What is not included in the plan?

Plan edits cover existing pages. Redesigns, new features, and content production are extra unless your plan lists them. Momentum and Growth include a quarterly service area page; Growth also includes two campaign pages a year. See optional extras.

05Can we pay for a year up front?

Yes. Pay ten months for twelve. A new plan starts at launch. Prepayments are not refunded; if you leave early, the unused balance becomes credit toward other Parabox Digital work. See annual payment and plan-change rules.

06What happens to everything if we leave?

Your domain, site files, database export, analytics, and ad accounts go with you at no cost. Once the account is paid in full, handover takes up to fifteen business days. Hosting ends with the paid period.

07What if I already have a site?

Static and Next.js sites can take a plan without a build or setup fee. Migration is guaranteed within five business days of full access, or your first month is not billed. WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace sites need a rebuild. Check your platform when booking.

08What is a business day?

Monday to Friday, Pacific time, excluding US federal holidays. Turnaround starts when you send your request by text or email.

09What are the guarantees?

Build: ten business days for One page or Launch, twenty for Business, or $300 off. Rush: the premium refunded if the deadline is missed. Migration: first month not billed if late. Growth: more leads in paid month three than month one, or month four is not billed. Read the conditions for each guarantee.

How a project runs

Timeline, content, and build details

10How long does a project take?

Allow about two weeks for One page or Launch and three to four for Business, after content sign-off. You get a written schedule before starting. Having one person approve the work helps keep it on track.

11What do you need from us to start?

Your goals, one decision-maker, and any copy, photos, or brand assets you have. If you need help preparing content, say so on the call so I can include it in the scope.

12Can you redesign a site we already have?

Yes. I review the current site and any available analytics, then rebuild around what customers use and what needs improving.

13What do you build on?

Next.js on Vercel. Every build has an editable menu or service list; Business adds a full content management system and blog. Shopify stores stay on Shopify and are quoted as Custom work.

14Do you do SEO?

Every build includes technical SEO: page structure, titles, descriptions, a sitemap, and structured data. Momentum and Growth add monthly SEO with ten tracked search terms.

The studio

Ownership, location, and next steps

15Do we own the site when it is finished?

Yes. The domain, code, analytics, and ad accounts are yours. If I hold your domain for you, I transfer it on request at no cost.

16Do you work with businesses outside Sacramento?

Yes. I work remotely with businesses anywhere. The studio serves the Sacramento region, and local clients can meet in person.

17What happens after launch?

If you choose a plan, care starts at launch. Edits take three business days on Storefront, two on Momentum, and the next business day on Growth. Reports arrive quarterly on Storefront and monthly on the other two. You can also buy the build alone.

18How do we start?

Book a free thirty-minute call or send a message. I reply to messages within two business days. If the project fits, you get a proposal with scope, schedule, and price.
