Pricing

Pay for the build. Own the stack.

Clear brackets, no sales runaround. You pay a one-time build cost and (optionally) managed hosting — never a per-seat SaaS rent to a platform you can't leave. Here's what a project actually costs.

Build packages

Three ways to start.

Every package is a one-time build cost. Scope drives the exact number — these are realistic "starting at" brackets, not fixed SKUs.

Marketing site

Launch

from $1,200

Founders, local businesses, and pros who need a fast, credible site that ranks — without a page-builder subscription.

  • 5–8 hand-built pages (Astro or WordPress) — no bloated page-builder
  • Mobile-first, Core-Web-Vitals-tuned (real Lighthouse pass, not a badge)
  • On-page + technical SEO baseline and an AI-readable entity graph
  • Contact/intake form wired to your inbox or an n8n workflow
  • llms.txt + FAQ/Speakable schema so LLMs can cite you
  • Cloudflare-fronted, backed up, and handed over — code is yours
Scope a Launch build
Headless store

Commerce

from $6,000

Stores that are done paying a per-sale platform tax. Next.js + Medusa, self-hosted, with a checkout you own end to end.

  • Headless storefront (Next.js) on a Medusa v2 backend you control
  • Catalog migration off Shopify/WooCommerce — products, images, categories
  • Local payment gateway wired (e.g. Wompi/Stripe) — no per-order SaaS cut
  • Product/Offer schema, category SEO hubs, and store-wide entity graph
  • Region + currency setup and a checkout localized for your market
  • Managed hosting + backups; you keep the whole stack if you leave

Keep it running

Managed hosting & care.

The only recurring cost — and it's our infrastructure, not a third-party subscription. Skip it and self-host; the code is yours either way.

PlanBest forMonthlyIncludes
Care · Static/JAMstack Astro / static marketing sites $25/mo CDN + backups + uptime monitoring + minor content edits
Care · WordPress WordPress + WooCommerce $45/mo Managed updates, security hardening, backups, cache, 30-min/mo edits
Care · Headless commerce Next.js + Medusa stores $95/mo App + DB hosting, backups, monitoring, deploys, SSL, gateway upkeep

Care plans are month-to-month. Cancel and we hand over hosting docs so you can run it yourself.

How we price

Why a build costs what it costs.

Most agency quotes are opaque on purpose — a big round number with no line items, so you can't tell what you're paying for. We'd rather show the logic. A website's cost tracks three things: how many pages need to be built with real depth, how much SEO structure sits under them, and whether there's a store or migration involved. A five-page brochure site and a thirty-page store with a Shopify migration aren't the same job, and pretending they cost the same helps nobody.

The bigger point is what you're not paying. On a rented platform, the sticker price is only the start: you pay monthly software rent for as long as the site exists, plus per-sale fees if you sell, plus add-on subscriptions for the things that should be built in. Five years of $79/mo platform rent is nearly $4,800 — on top of whatever you paid to build the thing — and at the end you own none of it. Our model inverts that: a one-time build, optional hosting on our own servers, and full ownership of the code and data. You're buying an asset, not renting one.

That's also why we scope clearly instead of upselling. If a lean Launch that ranks today is the right first move, we'll say so — and leave a clean path to Growth when the traffic justifies it. The goal is the cheapest build that actually hits your goal, not the biggest invoice we can defend.

The real comparison

Owned vs. rented, side by side.

OptimoWeb (owned)Rented SaaS platform
Monthly software rent None — you host it $29–$399/mo per platform, forever
Per-sale transaction fee None (headless commerce) 0.5–2.9% + gateway on every order
Who owns the code + data You do — full handover The platform; export gated or paywalled
AI-SEO / LLM-citation structure Built in (entity graph, llms.txt) Add-on plugin, if any
Leave anytime Take the whole stack with you Rebuild from scratch elsewhere

Pricing FAQ

Clear answers on cost.

Why "starting at" instead of a fixed price?

Because a real number depends on scope — page count, content depth, whether you need a catalog migration, and how much SEO structure you want. The tiers are real brackets; a 20-minute scoping call turns them into a firm quote with no surprises.

Is the price a one-time build cost or a subscription?

The build is a one-time project cost. The only recurring cost is managed hosting/care (from $25/mo), and that is our own infrastructure — not a per-seat SaaS rent you pay to a third party. You are never paying software rent to keep your own site online.

Do I own everything if I leave?

Yes. Code and data are portable and we hand over the entire stack — repository, database, and deployment. That is the whole point of building on open-source (WordPress, Astro, Medusa, n8n) instead of a closed platform.

How does Commerce avoid Shopify-style fees?

A headless Next.js + Medusa store is self-hosted, so there is no monthly platform plan and no per-order platform cut. You still pay your payment processor for card processing, but nothing to a storefront platform on top of it. On real order volume that difference compounds fast — see our headless-vs-Shopify guide for the per-order math.

What is the difference between Growth and just buying more pages?

Depth, not page count. Growth is an architecture: location and industry hubs, a cascading entity graph, pillar guides, and internal-link mass engineered so search engines and LLMs can crawl, understand, and cite you. Ten thin pages do not do that; a structured 20 do.

Can you work within a set budget?

Usually, yes. Tell us the budget and the goal and we will scope the highest-leverage version that fits — a smaller Launch that ranks now, with a clear path to Growth later, beats an over-scoped build you cannot ship.
