What Every Sharp Guys Website Includes

Every website starts at $7,500 and comes with these standards built in. You shouldn’t have to pay extra for the basics.

  • Never outsourced. One of our designers works with you the whole way through.
  • Mobile-first responsive design that works on every screen size, not just desktop.
  • Fast load speeds optimized for Google’s Core Web Vitals.
  • Google Analytics, Search Console, and Business Profile set up and connected.
  • On-page SEO foundation with proper titles, meta descriptions, and schema markup.
  • Revisions as needed throughout the design process, not a fixed-round limit.
  • Custom training videos so your team can update content without calling us.
  • A WordPress site you can edit yourself, with no vendor lock-in.
  • 301 redirect planning so your existing Google rankings are preserved.
  • Spam-protected contact forms that actually work on mobile phones.
  • Direct access to the Sharp Guys team, not an account manager middleman.
  • You own it. The site, the domain, the hosting login, and every file are yours.

What Happens After You Reach Out

No sales funnel and no pressure. Here’s the whole process, from first message to launch.

01

Tell us about your project

Use the form below or email us. A few sentences is plenty: what you do, what isn’t working on your current site, and any deadline you’re up against.

02

We talk it through

A quick 10 to 15 minute call so we truly understand your business, your audience, and what the site needs to do. We review your current site beforehand, so the call stays short.

03

You get a firm quote

Usually within 1 to 2 business days of our call: a clear one-page scope, a firm price, a line-item list of what’s included, and a realistic timeline.

04

We build it together

Half at kickoff, half at launch. Most sites go live 2 to 3 months later, built by the same team the whole way through.

How We Scope Your Project

We don’t sell packages. Every project is priced on what it actually needs, and these five factors are what move the number.

A 5-page website costs less than a resource library with 40 pages. We count unique layouts, not individual blog posts or team bios that reuse the same template. During discovery, we ask you to sketch out roughly what you think you need, and we help you decide what is actually worth building.

A straightforward informational site is faster to build than one with ecommerce, member portals, job application systems, CRM integrations, or donor databases. If you’re integrating with Salesforce, Bloomerang, Epicor, or similar, we include the setup time in your quote.

If your team has copy, photography, and brand assets ready to drop in, we move faster. If you’d like us to write, photograph, or rebrand, we scope that separately and show it as its own line in your quote, so you can decide what makes sense.

Every site we build includes SEO fundamentals. If you want keyword research, content optimization, local SEO setup, or ongoing SEO as a monthly service, that is a separate engagement. Our ongoing SEO program starts at $2,100 per month.

Most projects run 2 to 3 months from kickoff to launch, based on our actual history across 300+ builds. If you need it faster, we can reprioritize our schedule, but rush work typically carries a premium because it requires parallel workstreams and dedicated time.

Want a Ballpark First?

Our 2-minute pricing calculator is built from real data on 300+ projects we’ve delivered since 2011. No email required. When you’re ready, send us a note, and after a quick call to understand your business, we’ll turn your estimate into a firm quote.

What Clients Say About the Value

Real clients who have paid us and kept working with us, pulled from our Google reviews.

“Sharp Guys not only saved our company a lot of money by recommending new web hosting services, but also walked us through the new setup. Sharp Guys’ price for managing our website offered more services and was 30% less cost than our previous web management company. We are very happy with Sharp Guys services.”

“Cody and his team did a great job refreshing our site. They were efficient, creative, cost effective, and delivered results on-time.“

Ted Schenberg

“We needed a new website for our library and selected Sharp Guys to help us with the project. They were fabulous to work with and we love the end product. The Sharp Guys crew truly listened to what we wanted and made changes as requested. Their prices were very reasonable. I would absolutely recommend Sharp Guys for your web design project.”

Melissa Dragoo

Vernon Township Public Library, Nonprofit

“Sharp Guys has been doing the maintenance on my website for over 6 months now. They have been effective and efficient. Jeremy and Cody are kind and efficient, and the services they have provided are a great value in both quality and cost. I would not hesitate to recommend Sharp Guys to any friend or colleague.”

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions prospects ask most often before moving forward.

Because no two sites need the same thing. A package forces you to pay for pages you don’t need or leaves out something you do. Every custom website starts at $7,500, and from there we quote exactly what your project requires, in writing, before any work starts.

We typically take 50% at kickoff and 50% at launch. For larger projects, we can break payment into 3 or 4 milestones. If payment flexibility is important, mention it early and we’ll build something that works for both of us.

We work with you through the design and build phases as a partner, not a transactional vendor. Revisions happen throughout the process until you are genuinely happy with the result. We don’t cap rounds or nickel-and-dime you over change requests during active design.

If we’re adding something entirely new that wasn’t originally scoped (a new section, a new integration, a new feature), we give you a written change-order price before we do the work. You approve it, or we stick with the original scope. No surprise line items at the end. This is different from design revisions, which are part of the process.

Usually 1 to 2 business days after a quick 10 to 15 minute call. That call is how we make sure we truly understand your business before we put a price in writing. You get a clear one-page scope with a firm price, a line-item breakdown of what’s included, and a realistic timeline. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you that too and point you toward someone who is.

Things typically scoped separately: ongoing SEO services (starting at $2,100 per month), ongoing maintenance (starting at $230 per month), paid advertising management, professional photography, custom illustration, video production, domain name purchase, and hosting fees. Everything else needed to launch a functional, optimized website is included.

Yes. Verified 501(c)(3) nonprofits listed on Candid (formerly GuideStar) receive 10% off new website projects, and our nonprofit maintenance rate is $200 per month.

You get custom training videos and the option to add an ongoing maintenance plan starting at $230 per month. Maintenance covers plugin and WordPress core updates, uptime monitoring every 5 minutes, security, and 1 hour of content changes per month.

Of course. Every site we build is standard WordPress, hosted on a platform you own or have the credentials for. You can work with any qualified developer or agency once your site is live. We think vendor lock-in is a red flag, and we refuse to do it.
