How much does a custom website cost?

MJW Design Studio offers flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees. The Launch Package is $997 for a custom 5-page website. The Pro Site is $1,997 for a 10-page website with full SEO. Custom Build projects (e-commerce, multi-page, SaaS) are quoted flat-rate by scope, typically $2,500–$5,000.

How long does it take to build a website?

Most websites are delivered within 7 days. Landing pages in 3 days. Larger e-commerce or SaaS projects take 10–14 days. We use AI-powered design workflows and a streamlined revision process so you don't wait weeks like with traditional agencies.

Do you serve businesses outside of Covington, Georgia?

Yes. While we are based in Covington, GA and serve the Atlanta metro area in person, we work with clients across Georgia and nationwide. The entire process — discovery, design, revisions, launch — can be done remotely.

What is included in the VPS hosting package?

VPS hosting at $40 per month includes a dedicated virtual private server, free SSL certificate, automated daily backups, uptime monitoring, security updates, and direct support from Michelle. No tier-1 support reps.

Do I own my website after it's built?

Yes. You own the website, the code, the design, the domain, and the content outright. There are no contracts and you are free to take your site elsewhere at any time.

What types of businesses do you work with?

MJW Design Studio specializes in small businesses, local contractors, e-commerce stores, service providers, and SaaS startups. Past clients include electricians, salons, real estate agents, virtual assistants, and product creators.

Do you offer SEO services?

Yes. Every website includes on-page SEO foundations: meta tags, structured data (schema markup), sitemap, robots.txt, semantic HTML, and Core Web Vitals optimization. The Pro Site package includes a full SEO audit and keyword strategy.

What is GEO and do you handle it?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is making sure AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can read and cite your site. Yes, we handle it on every build — and we built our own free GEO audit tool, GEOscore.ai, that anyone can use to check their site.

Are revisions really limited to one round?

One round means one consolidated pass with all your feedback at once. Most clients feel zero pinch from this — it just keeps timelines honest. Additional revision rounds are available at $95/hour if needed.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. We offer ongoing support and maintenance bundled with hosting ($40/mo), and AI automation retainers starting at $297/month. All optional, no lock-in, cancel anytime.

What if I already have a site?

We can redesign it, fix it, or rebuild it from scratch. We'll audit what you have and recommend the most cost-effective path forward — sometimes a redesign is right, sometimes a full rebuild costs less in the long run.

Do you take payment plans?

Yes. 50% to start, 50% on launch is standard. For larger custom builds we can split into 3 milestones. Just ask.

What about WordPress?

We can host or work with WordPress sites you bring with you, but most of our recent custom builds are hand-coded HTML/CSS — dramatically faster, no plugin updates, and no WordPress security vulnerabilities to worry about. We'll recommend whichever fits your needs.

Can you work on a tighter timeline than 7 days?

Sometimes — landing pages can ship in 3 days. For full sites under 7 days we charge a rush fee that depends on scope. Email us with your deadline and we'll tell you honestly whether it's possible.
