Pricing
$999 for the site and its first year.
The same fee for a booth renter and a twelve‑chair salon. It pays for the build, the words and your booking wired in, then hosting, edits and search work for the first twelve months.
What you pay, and when.
— The whole thingOne time
The seven‑day build
$999 /flatSeven days from the form to a live site. Nothing is billed on top of it for the first twelve months.
- A seven‑day guarantee. If the preview isn’t in your hands by day seven, I refund half the build fee and launch the site free.
- Yours from day one. Your web address and your site are in your name. Leave whenever you want and take all of it.
- Half now, half at the preview. Half reserves your build week. The other half is due when you approve the preview, before the site goes live.
What the $999 covers
Year one
- Design and build
- A site drawn for your studio, not a template with your logo dropped on it. Your own photographs, a service menu that reads on a phone, and pages that load before anyone gives up. Five pages, typically, plus one per service where the menu needs it.
- Copywriting
- Every word, written from your form and your feed, the way you would say it to a client in the chair.
- Booking, wired in
- Straight into the platform you already run: Square, Vagaro, Mindbody, GlossGenius, Boulevard, Acuity, Booksy, Phorest or Calendly. How you take an appointment doesn’t change.
- Search and AI answers
- Your services, hours and reviews labeled so Google can read them, your site submitted to Google and Bing, and pages written around what people in your city search for, so Google and AI apps like ChatGPT can find you. Kept current for the whole first year, not set once at launch.
- Hosting and security
- Twelve months on infrastructure that serves your pages in under a second, with certificates, renewals and backups handled.
- Unlimited small edits
- Hours, prices, a new stylist, a holiday notice, a photo swap. Send a text and it is live the same day.
- Monthly fee, year one
- None.
- Contract
- None.
$30 a month from year two
or $300 a year, up front
or I hand the whole site over to you, free
Hosting, security, backups, unlimited small edits and the search work all keep running. No contract. When a stylist leaves on a Tuesday, the site is right by Wednesday and nobody logs into anything.
Questions
What owners ask before they fill out the form.
01How much does a salon website cost?+
$999 flat, one time, for the design, the words, the booking integration and the launch. The same fee whether you run one chair or twelve. There is no tier above it and nothing held back for a premium package.
02What is included in the $999?+
The build, the copywriting, your existing booking platform wired in, the search setup that lets Google and AI apps like ChatGPT read your services and hours, and twelve months of hosting, security and unlimited small edits: hours, prices, staff changes, holiday notices. Typically five pages, more if the work needs them.
03Is there a monthly fee?+
Not in the first year. Nothing is billed on top of the $999. After twelve months, hosting and support renew at $300 a year, or $30 a month, and if you would rather run it yourself I hand the whole site over free.
04Do I own the website?+
Yes. Your web address and your site are in your name from day one. There is no contract, and you can leave whenever you like and take all of it.
05How does payment work?+
Half reserves your build week and the other half is due when you approve the preview, before the site goes live. Nothing launches until the final payment clears.
06How long does it take?+
Seven days from the form to a live site. If the preview is not in your hands by day seven, I refund half the build fee and launch the site free.
07Can I write this off on my taxes?+
Yes. A website is an ordinary business expense, and you get a proper itemized invoice for each of the two payments on the day it clears, with my details, the date and what the work was. How it gets filed is between you and your accountant. I am not one, so ask yours, but the invoice has everything they will want.
08Is seven days really live, or just a preview?+
Live. A private preview reaches you first and you send back anything you want changed. On day seven the site goes up on your own domain, with your booking platform wired in and the security certificate in place. The guarantee sits on the preview: if it is not in your hands by day seven, I refund half the build fee and launch the site free.
09Do you build just for beauty businesses?+
Only beauty, barber and tattoo. Hair, lash & brow, skin, nails, day spa, med spa, barber, tattoo, tan, IV, waxing. Anything where the work happens in a chair or treatment room. Industries I don’t take: restaurants, e‑commerce, real estate, anything outside the room.
10What if I already have a booking platform?+
That is the usual case. I wire the site into Square, Vagaro, Mindbody, GlossGenius, Boulevard, Acuity, Booksy, Phorest or Calendly, and if yours isn’t named, tell me which one you run. Your client list, history and inventory stay exactly where they are.
11Can I see the site before going live?+
Yes. You get a private preview link before anything touches your domain. Walk through it on your phone, tell me what to change, and I make the changes before launch. The second half of the fee is not due until you approve it.
12What happens if I want to walk away?+
Nothing is locked to me. Your web address and your site are in your name from day one, and if you don’t approve the preview you don’t pay the second half. Take the files anywhere and I will help you move them.
