How many pages does your site need?
Not sure how many pages you need? We can help structure your site architecture during discovery. Typical builds include a homepage, an about page, a contact page, and dedicated pages for each core service, product, or offer. Your legal /policies, /blog index, and primary form submission confirmation /thank-you pages are always included at zero cost.
Every website build starts at a $3,000 baseline floor. A compact site requires the exact same foundational architecture as an enterprise build: deep competitive research, technical schema markup, speed optimization, and search engine verification. We do not skip the foundation.
Will you provide ready-to-use content, or will OSL write it?
Provide your content publish-ready, and the rate is $500 per page. We can also write your content directly from an interview with you: search-engineered, brand-aligned, and structured under our EQUATE framework at $600 per page for up to 500 words per page (longer copy blocks follow our published content pricing).
