How Web Design Pricing Compares in Sacramento
If you have been researching web design pricing, you have probably seen a wide range - from $300 for a template site to $20,000+ for a full agency build. Here is how EDC Web Design fits in:
DIY Website Builders (Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy): $20-$50/month. You do all the work yourself. Limited customization, generic templates, slower performance, and minimal SEO.
Template-Based Freelancers: $500-$2,000. You get a pre-made theme with limited SEO and platform restrictions.
EDC Web Design: $800-$2,500 for standard builds. Every site is custom-coded on Next.js with our services designed for speed, SEO, and full ownership.
Mid-Tier Sacramento Agencies: $5,000-$15,000. Similar quality outcomes, but with overhead from agency structures and longer timelines.
Large Sacramento Agencies: $15,000-$50,000+. Enterprise-grade work for enterprise budgets.
Where EDC sits: custom quality at a fraction of agency pricing.
Is This the Right Investment for You?
Great Fit
- You are a small business owner who needs a site that actually generates leads
- You want to own your website - not rent it from a subscription service
- You value speed, SEO, and clear communication over agency ceremony
- You are ready to invest $800-$2,500 in a site built to perform
- You want to work directly with the person writing the code
Probably Not the Right Fit
- You need a massive enterprise site with hundreds of pages and complex integrations
- You want a WordPress or Squarespace site (we build on Next.js)
- You are looking for the absolute cheapest option (a $200 Fiverr site will not rank)
- You need ongoing content writing or social media management (we focus on web design + SEO)

Pricing FAQs
How much does a custom website cost for a small business?
Most small business websites from EDC Web Design fall between $800 and $2,500 depending on page count, SEO scope, and complexity. A single-page site starts at $800, a full 5-page business site is $1,500, and a 5-page site with SEO expansion pages is $2,500. Ecommerce and custom projects start at $3,500+.
What is included in each website package?
Every package includes custom design (no templates), mobile-responsive layout, sub-2-second load times, Core Web Vitals optimization, on-page SEO, schema markup, Google Search Console and Business Profile setup, contact form, and SSL security. Higher-tier packages add multi-page layouts, internal linking strategy, local SEO signals, location pages, and keyword targeting.
Are your prices one-time or recurring?
Build fees are one-time. The only recurring cost is the optional $75/month website care plan, which covers hosting, revisions, security, and SEO monitoring. There is no long-term contract. Cancel anytime and keep everything.
What does the $75/month care plan cover?
Hosting, monthly content and design revisions, security monitoring, performance checks, SEO health recommendations, software updates, and priority direct access to your developer. It is how we keep your site performing month after month, not just the week it launches.
Do I own my website?
Yes, completely. You own the code, the design, the content, and the domain. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary platforms, and no losing your site if you cancel. If you ever want to move to a different developer, everything transfers with you.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most standard builds take 2-4 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on page count and content readiness. Ecommerce and custom app projects typically take 4-8 weeks. We will give you a clear timeline before we start.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. We offer structured payment plans to help small businesses launch without a large upfront cost. Payments are split across the project timeline so you are not waiting until you can afford to pay everything at once.
Why is EDC Web Design less expensive than most Sacramento agencies?
No overhead. You work directly with the person building your site - no account managers, no project coordinators, no office rent folded into your quote. Lower overhead means lower pricing without sacrificing quality. Every site is hand-coded on the same modern framework (Next.js) used by companies like Netflix and Nike.
Is SEO included in the price?
Yes. Every package includes on-page SEO fundamentals: optimized title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, image alt text, sitemaps, schema markup, and performance tuning. The SEO Growth package adds keyword research, location landing pages, and advanced internal linking for businesses targeting competitive local markets.
What makes a website more expensive?
Complexity. More pages, ecommerce functionality, booking systems, client portals, custom dashboards, and advanced SEO expansion all increase scope. Content creation (copywriting, photography, branding) also adds to the project if you need it. We define scope upfront so there are no surprises.
How do I know which package is right for my business?
Start with your goals. If you are new and need a professional online presence, Basic ($800) gets you live fast. If you have an established business and need to rank on Google, Business ($1,500) covers the essentials. If you are in a competitive market and want to dominate local search, SEO Growth ($2,500) is built for that. Not sure? Book a free consultation and we will recommend the right fit. Portfolio.
Can I upgrade my package later?
Yes. Many clients start with a Basic or Business site and upgrade to SEO Growth as their business scales. Because everything is built on the same modern codebase, adding pages, location targeting, or blog content is straightforward. We are not rebuilding from scratch.
Ready to Get Started?
Every project starts with a free consultation. We will look at your current site (or your lack of one), talk about your goals, and recommend the right package. No pressure, no hard sell.
If you are not sure which package fits, we will help you figure it out.
