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: $1,000-$3,000 for standard builds, with custom pricing for ecommerce and web applications. Every site is custom-coded in Next.js 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.

Pricing FAQs
How much does a custom website cost for a small business?
EDC Web Design offers three standard website packages: a $1,000 single-page site, a $2,000 business website, and a $3,000 SEO Growth website. Ecommerce stores, web applications, and dashboards receive custom pricing based on scope.
What is included in each website package?
Every package includes custom design, a mobile-responsive layout, performance optimization, on-page SEO, schema markup, Google Search Console and Business Profile setup, a 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 single-page package includes a $50/month care plan, while the Business and SEO Growth packages include a $100/month care plan. Ecommerce stores and web applications receive a custom monthly care price based on their hosting, maintenance, and support needs.
What do the monthly care plans cover?
Care plans cover hosting, monthly content and design revisions, security monitoring, performance checks, SEO health recommendations, software updates, and priority direct access to your developer. Single-page sites are $50/month, Business and SEO Growth sites are $100/month, and ecommerce or web app care is custom-priced.
Do I own my website?
Yes, completely. You own the code, the design, the content, and the domain. There is no vendor lock-in or proprietary platform. 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?
You work directly with the person building your site, without account-manager, project-coordinator, or office overhead folded into your quote. Lower overhead means lower pricing without sacrificing quality. Every site is hand-coded in Next.js.
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, photography, and branding also add to the project if you need them. We define scope upfront so there are no surprises.
How do I know which package is right for my business?
Start with your goals. Basic is for a professional first presence, Business covers an established company that needs a full lead-generating site, and SEO Growth is for competitive local search. Ecommerce stores, web applications, and dashboards are scoped individually. If you are not sure, book a free consultation and we will recommend the right fit.
Can I upgrade my package later?
Yes. Many clients start with a Basic or Business site and expand as their business scales. Because everything is built on the same modern codebase, adding pages, location targeting, or blog content is straightforward.
