Managed Website

Managed websites from $185/mo
Up to 5 standard pages. Additional standard pages: +$12/month each.

For owners who want our team to build the site and keep looking after it.

  • A monthly fee for the agreed build, hosting, monitoring, routine content edits, and support.
  • A 12-month initial term, followed by month-to-month service.
  • You own your domain and the content you provide. Clear Cut Digital retains the website code. The managed site goes offline when service ends.
  • New pages, major layout changes, and complex integrations need a separate quote.
  • Forms and normal website copywriting are included. Larger sites scale with page count, complexity, integrations, and ongoing requirements.
  • True ecommerce is available only as a one-time build.

One-Time Website Build

One-time builds from $4,000
Up to 5 standard pages. Additional standard pages: +$265 each.

For businesses looking for a defined project, with ongoing services arranged separately.

  • A project quote based on pages, content, features, and integrations.
  • Forms and normal website copywriting are included.
  • Hosting: $25/month. Optional ecosystem and support with unlimited standard edits: $100/month, or $125/month with hosting.
  • After payment in full, you own the completed website and project-specific code we create for you. We provide production-ready source code and the access or credentials reasonably needed to operate or transfer it.
  • Third-party software, libraries, fonts, plugins, APIs, licensed assets, and services remain subject to their respective licenses.

Ecommerce from $8,000: Available as a one-time build, subject to manual review. Custom functionality also requires manual review and a separate quote.

Timing: A standard website typically takes 2–4 weeks, depending on content and feedback; custom functionality can take longer. We confirm scope, price, and terms before work begins.

PageSpeed score before optimization
The Problem

Why Most Business Websites Fall Short

Most business websites run on site builders like WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace. They get you online quickly, and quick is what they sell. What you are handed afterward is a heavy theme, a stack of plugins that each need updating, and a dashboard you now have to learn or pay someone to manage. The convenience shows up on day one. The costs show up every month after, usually as slow load times, security patches, and a site that drifts further out of date.

  • Slow sites have 50% bounce rates

    A study by Google found that if your site takes longer than 3 seconds to load, half your traffic leaves before they even see what you offer.

  • Poor mobile performance hurts your SEO

    Google prioritizes fast, mobile-friendly sites. Bloated builders make it nearly impossible to hit "Green" speed scores.

  • Vulnerable to hacks and plugin breaks

    Site builder plugin dependencies create ongoing risk. A single compromised plugin can break your site or redirect visitors off your site.

The Solution

How Our Approach Improves Your Results

You should not have to choose between a website that performs and one you can maintain. We hand-code every site from scratch: clean HTML, CSS, and minimal JavaScript, structured so visitors and search engines can both read it easily. Then we stay responsible for running it. You get the performance of a custom build with none of the maintenance, because hosting, updates, monitoring, and improvements come with us.

  • Built for Strong PageSpeed Performance

    Lean code loads fast on real-world connections, not just in lab conditions, which keeps mobile visitors from bouncing before they see your offer. Final content and third-party tools still play a role, and we tune around them.

  • Conversion prioritized unique designs

    We're conversion optimization certified by Google. Every layout decision serves a purpose: phone numbers where thumbs expect them, forms that take seconds, calls to action placed where decisions happen, all shaped around your business goals rather than a template's defaults.

  • Static Sites Reduce Attack Surface

    Static sites have no dashboard to break into and no plugins to patch, which removes the most common ways small-business websites get compromised. We watch every service we run anyway, and we will not pretend any website is risk-free.

More Than A Brochure Website

Some businesses need their website to do more than look good. We build the extra pieces when your needs go beyond standard marketing pages, and we connect your site to the systems you already run.

  • Integrations

    We connect websites to CRMs, scheduling systems, email platforms, analytics tools, forms, and APIs. Housecall Pro and Jobber are among the systems we've worked with.

  • Custom Functionality

    When Gymnastics East outgrew a WordPress site plagued by plugin conflicts, we built a custom-coded website plus an information portal for calendars, flyers, alerts, and updates.

  • Conversion Visibility

    Phone taps, email clicks, and contact-form submissions are tracked with timestamps, so you can match website activity to the inquiries landing in your inbox.
