One flat fee to design, build, and launch. Then $20/month for hosting.
Not sure which path is right for you?
Our $350 Pro Diagnosis + Remedy Package tells you exactly what your site needs, before you spend a dollar on a rebuild.
Most small-business websites start at $1,000 flat — including design, build, launch, and the full technical foundation. Hosting is $20/month. If your business needs something beyond the standard build — additional pages, a custom integration — we quote those separately, up front, in plain English.

Complete site built from scratch — homepage, services, about, contact, privacy, 404, and more
Whether we modernize your existing site or build from scratch, every project is engineered to be found by ChatGPT, Perplexity, voice assistants, and Google AI Overviews, not just traditional search.
01
We make your site readable by AI assistants.
ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini pull from sites with clean, structured content. We build yours with semantic HTML and schema.org data so AI tools can find, quote, and recommend you, instead of a competitor.
02
We structure your content for voice and assistant search.
Getting picked by Siri or Alexa isn't random. It requires clean schema data, a tight Google Business Profile, and FAQ content written the way people speak. We build all of that in from day one.
03
We help Google's AI include you, not bypass you.
Google's AI Overviews pull from sites with structured, machine-readable content. We make sure yours qualifies, so when someone searches your category, your business is part of the answer.
The Technical Foundation
Most designers stop at the pretty. We don't.
Every Sequel Web Studio site, whether new or modernized, is built across eight technical categories. This is what separates a site that looks good from a site that actually gets found, converts visitors into customers, and keeps working five years from now. We build for conversion and longevity from day one, not as an afterthought.
