What changes the price
How many pages
A page for each service and each town you serve is what gets you found, and it's also the biggest part of the work. Past 10 pages, we quote the site.
Buy it or have us manage it
Buying costs more up front and less each month. Managed has no build fee, and you can buy the site from us later.
How much help you want after launch
Hosting only if you'll make your own changes, or a care plan if you want us to make them.
Features
Quote forms and contact forms are part of a normal site. Booking, customer portals, and apps are custom builds, quoted by the job.
Questions to ask any web designer
- Is hosting included, and what does it cost after the first year?
- Who owns the domain name?
- Are edits after launch included, or billed by the hour?
- Is it a template or a custom design?
- Will each service and town I serve get its own page?
- Will it be set up in Google Search Console?
Guides
Common questions
Is there really no build fee on a managed site?
Right. On a managed plan you pay the monthly price and we build, host, and update the site. We own the site while you're on the plan, and you can buy it from us any time at the listed price.
What does the first 30 days free cover?
Every monthly plan: managed sites, care plans, hosting, Google profile management, and social media. One-time fees like a site build or a logo are paid up front.
Who owns my domain name?
You do. We charge what the registrar charges, with no markup.
Do you give refunds?
One-time orders can be cancelled for a full refund if we have not started work yet, except domain names and RareWorks addresses. Otherwise payments are final, which is why monthly plans start with 30 days free, so you can see the work before you pay for it.
What if I need more edits than my plan includes?
Extra work is $75 an hour, billed in 15-minute steps after the first hour. Unused plan time doesn't roll over to the next month.
Where are you located?
Rare Works is based in Columbia, MS and works with small businesses across South Mississippi, including Hattiesburg, Purvis, Petal, and McComb.
