The honest price range for OKC small businesses.
Here's what you'll find if you shop around Oklahoma City. No marketing spin, just the ranges. The DIY figures are the builders' own pricing pages. The freelancer and agency ranges come from published 2026 pricing guides, which are mostly agency marketing and disagree with each other, so treat them as ballparks and get written quotes. Checked October 22, 2026.
DIY builders
$19 - $39/mo
Wix and Squarespace, for example, list plans from $19 to $39 a month billed yearly. Cheap monthly, and for some businesses a fair choice, but your time isn't free. You pick a template and put the site together yourself, and it tends to look like a lot of other sites in your trade. Often slow on mobile, thin on local SEO, and you own nothing if you stop paying.
Freelancers
$1,500 - $5,000
Upwork, Fiverr, a referral from a friend's cousin. Published guides put a typical small-business site in this range. Quality varies a lot. A good freelancer is worth it. One who is hard to reach is a problem the moment you need a revision. Many build on WordPress with a purchased theme, which can take extra work to get strong for local SEO.
Full agencies
$3,000 - $15,000+
OKC has real agencies that do real work, and charge agency prices. You usually get a team, a project manager, and a polished result. If your site has to carry a bigger company's brand, this can be the right call. Many local small businesses don't need that level.
Stroder Web Services
$750 - $2,200
+ a monthly plan from $95
Flat-rate builds, every page custom-coded, private server hosting, local SEO built in. For the OKC-metro small business that wants a site written for it and one person to text. No sales calls and no hourly billing. I'm not the cheapest route: a Wix plan costs less, and the five-year math is on the why custom-coded page.
There is no single right answer.
Each route below is the right call for somebody. It depends on your time, your budget, and how much of this you want to deal with after launch. Here is who each one fits and where it bites.
Do it yourself
Good when you have spare evenings, like tinkering, and the site is mostly a placeholder. The catch: it becomes your second job. You use templates a lot of other businesses use, and you are the one fixing it at 9pm. You rent the site and never own it. Already on Wix? Here is what switching involves.
A freelancer
Good when you find a great one and only need a quick one-off. The catch: when something breaks, you hope they still answer. Hosting, backups and monitoring are often not part of the deal, and there may be no plan for month six.
An agency or a branding studio
Good when you are a larger company that needs a team, a brand overhaul and a big ongoing budget. The catch: agencies are built for bigger clients than most local trades, so you get kickoff calls, account managers, change-request tickets and a bill to match. Under an agency contract now? Here is what leaving one involves.
Me
You talk to the person building it. There is no account manager in the middle and no meeting to schedule a meeting. You get the same custom-coded work an agency would do, aimed at calls and customers, with the hosting, backups and monitoring in the monthly plan.
When I am not the right call
I would rather tell you up front than take a job that is not a fit. Pick someone else if:
- You enjoy building it yourself and have the time. A page builder is cheaper, and tinkering is half the fun for some people. That is a real answer.
- You need a big custom web app, like a booking platform, a member portal with thousands of users, or complex integrations. That is a bigger shop's job.
- A national brand overhaul is the goal and the budget is built for it. A premium studio will give you the decks and the show. I am built for getting a local business found and called.
What actually drives the cost.
Two sites can cost very different amounts and look alike on the surface. The difference shows up in three places: how fast it loads, how well it can rank, and how often it breaks.
Custom code vs. templates
A custom-coded page carries only what it needs: no theme framework, no plugin scripts, no unused CSS. Template sites often ship far more code than your content needs, and a slow page costs you visitors on a phone and costs you with Google.
SEO baked in vs. bolted on
Local SEO done right means every page set up so Google reads your business details, city-specific landing pages, the same name, address and phone everywhere, and fast mobile performance. DIY builders make you install plugins or add-ons to get part of this. I write it into the code from the first file.
Real hosting vs. shared
Shared hosting (GoDaddy, Bluehost, HostGator) means your site shares a server with many other sites, and one busy or compromised neighbor can slow yours down. I host sites on private servers I own here in Del City, with Cloudflare in front.
How a cheap site can get expensive.
An example of how it tends to go, not a specific client: a contractor pays a freelancer to build a WordPress site on a purchased theme with a dozen free plugins, hosted on a cheap shared plan. The site looks fine on the day of handoff.
Six months later, a plugin update breaks the contact form. A year in, the theme is discontinued. Eighteen months in, the site is noticeably slower than it was on launch day and sits below competitors who spent about the same.
The owner ends up paying someone else to fix what broke, pays yearly for plugin licenses, and loses search traffic because the site was never set up for local search. The cheap option isn't always cheap. It can hide the real cost in upkeep.
Custom sites don't have plugins to break or themes to update. Every line of code is there for a reason, and every change is intentional. That's the durability you're paying for.
The exact numbers.
All three builds are written the same way and run on the same hosting. The difference is how many pages and how much local SEO surface area.
Starter
$750
+ a monthly plan from $95
Single-page site. Think of it as the ultimate digital business card. Fast, indexable, credible. Good for contractors and service providers who need presence but not depth.
Standard
$1,200
+ a monthly plan from $95
Five-page site (Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Contact). Full local SEO groundwork, with every page set up so Google reads your business details correctly. The "hometown authority" build.
Premium
$2,200
+ a monthly plan from $95
Up to 15 pages, 5 core plus up to 10 city or service landing pages. Multi-city SEO architecture. Built for contractors and service businesses that work across the whole OKC Metro.
Every build needs a monthly plan: Hosting $95, Local SEO $350 (the one I usually recommend), or Growth $650. Add-ons when you need them: extra pages ($200), copywriting ($150 per page), logo refresh ($200). Paying the build over 12 months is on the pricing page.
Frequently asked pricing questions.
How much does a small business website cost in Oklahoma City?
From free (DIY builders like Wix) to $15,000 and up (full-service agencies). I charge flat build fees: $750 for a single-page Starter, $1,200 for a 5-page Standard, and $2,200 for a Premium build with up to 15 pages, plus a monthly plan from $95. No hourly billing, no sales calls.
Why does a custom website cost more than a WordPress or Wix site?
More work goes into it, and you get more control. A custom-coded site is written for your business, loads only what it needs, and becomes yours once the build is paid. A Wix plan costs less per month, and over five years it costs less in total too. The five-year math is on its own page, including where a page builder is the fair choice.
What's included in the monthly hosting fee?
Every plan runs on the same base: my own server with Cloudflare in front, nightly backups with a copy stored off-site, uptime checks every 5 minutes, portal access, and 30 minutes of edits a month. Edits past that are $50 an hour.
Do I have to pay monthly forever?
Hosting is required while the site lives on my servers, and it is month to month: cancel any month. Once the build is paid in full, a copy of your files is one click away in your client portal, ready to host elsewhere. Your domain is registered in your name from day one and can be transferred away at any time at no charge.
Can I switch from my current designer or host?
Yes. I move sites off WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and GoDaddy. If your domain is registered under your old designer's account, step one is reclaiming it, usually a short conversation with the registrar. Here is how switching works.
How long does a build take?
Once your deposit and intake form are in, your first preview usually comes within a few days. The finished site takes 5-7 business days for Starter, 10-14 for Standard, and 14-21 for Premium. Need it sooner? The $500 Rush add-on, for Standard and Premium, puts you at the front of my line. Your finished site is ready to launch in 7 business days, counted from your payment, your full intake and all your content. Rush changes get done within a business day. If the delay is mine, you get the $500 back. Either way, the clock pauses while anything waits on you, like your content or your feedback, or on outside services I don't control, like your domain.
Do I need a consultation call first?
No. The quote quiz shows your total at the end, then you pay the deposit and fill out the intake form. Add-ons get a quick quote instead. If you want to talk anyway, text me at (405) 458-0864, or use the contact page.
