Saw Mill Web Works

Scope sets the price. Standards stay high.

Clear starting points. Serious work at every size.

Smaller projects stay affordable by staying focused—not by lowering the standard of the thinking, design, or implementation.

Website project pricing

A “starting at” price assumes timely client feedback, prepared content, and the standard scope described below.

Existing site

Website refresh

From $300

Typical timeline: 1–2 weeks

  • Focused visual and content updates to an existing site
  • Mobile and usability cleanup within the agreed pages
  • Broken-link, form, and basic metadata review

Major redesigns, platform migrations, copywriting, and new features are quoted separately.

Simple launch

Brand-new website

From $500

Typical timeline: 2–4 weeks

  • One to five core pages
  • Responsive custom layout and simple brand styling
  • Contact form and direct contact links
  • Foundational metadata, sitemap, and launch setup

Best for a clear, focused brochure site with client-supplied copy, images, and brand assets.

Growing business

Small-business website

From $2,000

Typical timeline: 4–8 weeks

  • Five to twenty pages
  • Blog or news section
  • One standard tool integration
  • Expanded content structure and search foundations
  • Training or documented handoff for agreed tools

Final pricing depends on content volume, integration complexity, migration needs, and who prepares the copy and media.

Online selling

E-commerce website

From $5,000

Typical timeline: 8–14 weeks

  • Storefront, product catalog, cart, and checkout
  • Payment-provider configuration
  • Standard shipping, tax, and order-email setup
  • Responsive product and policy templates
  • Launch testing and owner handoff

Product count, subscriptions, custom shipping, marketplaces, ERP/POS connections, and platform fees are scoped separately.

Specialized work, scoped case by case

These services depend on your current systems, goals, competition, data, and the amount of implementation required.

Starting at $150

Professional email setup

A straightforward Microsoft 365 business-email setup for one domain, with the exact mailbox and DNS work confirmed before we begin.

  • Microsoft 365 account and domain connection
  • Standard DNS and email-authentication setup
  • Mailbox, alias, or shared-mailbox configuration as scoped
  • Basic send-and-receive verification

Microsoft license fees, mailbox migrations, complex tenant cleanup, and ongoing administration are separate. Google Workspace and multi-user migrations are quoted case by case.

Case by case

Search visibility & discovery

Practical work to help search platforms understand, crawl, and present your business clearly across Google, Bing, local results, and AI-powered discovery experiences.

  • Technical SEO, metadata, structured data, and crawlability
  • Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools setup
  • Local search and business-profile improvements
  • Content structure and measurement planning

Search engines control crawling, indexing, rankings, and AI citations, so no placement or traffic result is guaranteed.

Case by case

Workflow & process automation

We map the repetitive parts of a process, identify the safest handoff points, and connect approved tools so routine work takes fewer manual steps.

  • Lead routing, notifications, and follow-up workflows
  • Forms, scheduling, email, CRM, and document connections
  • Data validation, exception handling, and recovery planning
  • Documentation and owner handoff

Pricing follows a discovery review because licensing, permissions, security, and integration limits vary by system.

Ongoing care

Monthly maintenance

From $50/month

The written maintenance proposal confirms the exact coverage and support expectations.

The starting plan is intended for an eligible small static site. Maintenance can be scoped around hosting and deployment oversight, routine technical care, minor content changes, monitoring, and rollback support.

  • Coverage matched to the site and platform
  • Update allowances agreed before service begins
  • Support expectations recorded in writing
  • New features quoted separately

Platform subscriptions, domain renewals, paid plugins, email licenses, and third-party services are separate unless the proposal expressly includes them.

Questions about scope and pricing

The written proposal is the final source of truth for what is included, who supplies what, and how the project moves.

How can the smallest projects start at these prices?

The lower starting points assume a tightly defined job, prepared client content, prompt decisions, and limited complexity. We reduce the scope—not the care, judgment, or technical standard applied within it.

What does “starting at” mean?

It is the minimum for the standard scope described on this page. Extra pages, content preparation, migrations, integrations, specialized compliance needs, custom media, paid software, or accelerated schedules can increase the proposal.

Will we own the website?

Your domain and business content stay in your ownership. After outstanding invoices are paid, we provide the agreed custom site files and reasonable account handoff. Third-party tools, licenses, fonts, platforms, and services remain subject to their own terms.

Do you guarantee Google, Bing, or AI-search placement?

No. We can improve technical quality, crawlability, structure, content signals, and measurement, but search and AI platforms control whether and how a site is indexed, ranked, cited, or displayed.

Is professional email included?

A standard Microsoft 365 setup starts at $150. Provider licenses, mailbox subscriptions, migrations, complex DNS or tenant work, Google Workspace projects, and ongoing administration are priced separately unless the proposal includes them.

What is not normally included?

Unless listed in the proposal, starting prices do not include copywriting, logo design, photography, video, legal or accessibility certification, paid media, ad spend, email licenses, domain fees, product entry at scale, custom software, or third-party subscription charges.
