Transparent Studio Rates Documented Investment Ledgers

Fixed architectural deliverables determine exact project investments.

Commercial baselines remain published for every engagement. Production scopes depend on structural parameters, content readiness, and technical integrations rather than arbitrary agency markups.

What shapes an exact production estimate.

Estimates stem directly from documented technical criteria rather than vague guesswork. Six core factors govern where a project lands within its published range.

Page Volume
Total structural page count and individual section depth. A focused five-page architecture with compact hierarchies requires substantially fewer design iterations and markup rungs than a multi-case studio platform spanning ten distinct layout sheets.
Custom Features
Interactive client-side calculators, custom scope estimators, specialized filtering matrices, dynamic consultation booking workflows, and responsive data charts. Purely typographic content pages cost less than pages requiring custom JavaScript state machines.
Content Readiness
The editorial state of supplied materials. When clean copy, high-resolution original photography, and finalized brand marks arrive at kickoff, we jump straight to layout engineering. If the studio must write primary copy or curate missing imagery, fees adjust accordingly.
Integrations
Connecting third-party endpoints including customer relationship management tools, transactional email APIs, scheduling engines, webhook dispatchers, and analytics suites. Each integration requires custom testing and failure-mode handling.
Delivery Urgency
Standard turnaround runs 2 to 4 weeks. Projects demanding delivery inside 14 calendar days require dedicated engineering blocks and evening deployments, incurring an expedition premium of 25% to 35% on baseline labor.
Content Migration
Migrating legacy articles, extracting historical case media from outdated database structures, cleaning legacy formatting artifacts, and authoring rigorous 301 URL redirect maps to preserve established search engine visibility.
What Clients Compare Across Studios
  • Total page count and visual distinction across templates
  • Level of customization versus off-the-shelf site builders
  • Third-party API and conversion pipeline integrations
  • Degree of content readiness expected from the client
  • Fixed turnaround commitments versus open-ended billings
The Willobrest Studio Approach
  • Zero generic templates; every grid is drafted for your specific practice
  • No bloated CMS subscriptions or fragile recurring plugin licenses
  • Strict 2 to 4 week delivery schedule for standard 5-page platforms
  • Transparent ledgers with clear milestone commitments
  • Direct collaboration with the designer who writes the actual code
03 / Operational Stability • Post-Launch Care

Ongoing maintenance and technical retainer specifications.

A website is durable infrastructure. We offer straightforward monthly support at $100 per month so your digital presence remains fast, secure, and current without billing surprises.

Monthly Support Fee
$100 USD per month. Billed on the first of each month. No annual contract lock-in; cancelable with 14 days written notice.
Included Scope
Routine DNS records management, hosting environment health checks, TLS certificate verification, quarterly offsite data snapshots, Core Web Vitals monitoring, and up to 60 minutes of text and image updates per billing cycle.
Out-of-Scope Items
Major layout redesigns, authoring new multi-page sections, building custom application logic, and extensive third-party platform migrations. These requirements are quoted separately or billed under hourly technical direction ($85–$185/hr).
Response Benchmark
Critical availability alerts are addressed within 4 hours during business days. Standard copy changes and maintenance requests are executed within 2 business days.

04 / Production Protocol • Four-Phase Delivery

A structured timeline with verified deliverables.

Projects follow a documented four-phase timeline designed to launch a complete, validated website within two to four weeks without open-ended churn.

Phase 1: Days 1–3
Architectural Specification & Content Audit. We review raw copy, define page hierarchy, catalog integrations, and establish exact technical constraints. The client signs off on a binding specification document that locks scope and deliverables.
Phase 2: Days 4–10
Typographic Design & Responsive Prototyping. Setting typography scales, color contrast tokens, layout grids, and interactive states in high-fidelity wireframes. Review happens directly in the browser across mobile and desktop devices.
Phase 3: Days 11–18
Semantic Code & Integration Engineering. Writing clean HTML5, structured CSS, and minimal vanilla JavaScript. Implementing forms posting to secure endpoints, setting meta graphs, and optimizing imagery across four responsive rungs.
Phase 4: Days 19–24
Audit, Testing & Production Deployment. Running Core Web Vitals checks, accessibility audits against WCAG 2.1 AA benchmarks, cross-browser validation, DNS configuration, and live production rollout.

05 / Studio Standards • Honest Tradeoffs

Decisions we make and who we are not built for.

Clarity about what we do not do is as important as our pricing. We maintain strict technical boundaries to deliver websites that load in under a second and endure for years without maintenance headaches.

No Page Builders
We do not build sites using Elementor, Divi, Squarespace, or visual drag-and-drop builders. Those tools generate thousands of lines of bloated markup, slow down mobile performance, and create fragile dependency chains that break when plugins update. We write clean semantic code by hand.
Who This Is Not For
This practice is not built for $300 churn projects, high-frequency discount ecommerce catalogues with ten thousand SKUs, or teams wanting endless committee brainstorming meetings. We work best with independent practitioners and businesses that value craftsmanship, direct communication, and documented timelines.
Payment Structure
Projects require a 50% initial deposit upon contract execution and milestone specification approval. The remaining 50% is due upon final staging verification prior to production DNS deployment. Hourly engagements are invoiced bi-weekly with itemized time logs.
Revision Boundaries
Every fixed-scope package includes two comprehensive rounds of structural revisions during Phase 2 prototyping. Because requirements are signed off before production coding commences, revision rounds stay focused on typographic nuance and hierarchy rather than late architectural pivots.
