How much does a website cost in Oklahoma City?
Straight answer: anywhere from free to $15,000. This page explains why, and what Stroder Web Services charges. No "contact us for a quote" runaround. The numbers are on this page.
The honest price range for OKC small businesses.
Here's what you'll actually find if you shop around Oklahoma City. No marketing spin. Just the ranges you see on real quotes.
DIY builders
$0 – $30/mo
Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy Website Builder. Free or cheap monthly, but your time isn't free. You pick a template, fight with it for 40 hours, and end up with a site that looks like every other pizza shop's site. Slow on mobile, weak on local SEO, and you own nothing if you stop paying.
Freelancers
$300 – $2,500
Upwork, Fiverr, a referral from a friend's cousin. Quality varies wildly. The good ones are worth it. The cheap ones disappear the moment you need a revision. Most use WordPress with a cheap theme. Good for some businesses, terrible for local SEO out of the box.
Full agencies
$3,000 – $15,000+
OKC has real agencies that do real work, and charge real agency prices. You get a team, a project manager, a 6-month timeline, and a polished result. If you're running a $5M business and the site needs to look like it, this is the right call. Most local shops don't need what they're paying for here.
Stroder Web Services
$750 – $2,200
+ $95/mo hosting
Flat-rate tiers, every line hand-coded, private server hosting, local SEO baked in. Built for the OKC Metro small business that wants the quality of an agency build without the agency overhead. No sales calls, no six-month timelines, no hourly billing surprises.
What actually drives the cost.
Two sites can cost 10x different amounts and look identical on the surface. The difference shows up in three places: how fast it loads, how well it ranks, and how often it breaks.
Custom code vs. templates
A hand-coded page typically loads in 1-2 seconds because there's nothing extra. No theme framework, no plugin scripts, no unused CSS. A template site loads 3-5 MB of junk before your content even shows up. Google ranks fast sites higher, and customers bounce from slow ones.
SEO baked in vs. bolted on
Local SEO done right means schema markup on every page, city-specific landing pages, NAP consistency, and fast mobile performance. DIY builders make you install four plugins to get half of this. Stroder Web Services writes it into the code from the first file.
Real hosting vs. shared
Shared hosting (GoDaddy, Bluehost, HostGator) means your site lives on a server with 500 other businesses. When one gets hacked, yours slows down. Stroder Web Services runs every client on private Proxmox infrastructure fronted by Cloudflare. No shared resources, no neighbor risk.
Why most OKC businesses overpay for underperforming sites.
The most common story in the OKC small-business market: a contractor pays a freelancer $800 to build a WordPress site. The freelancer installs a $50 theme, a dozen free plugins, and throws it on shared GoDaddy hosting at $15 a month. The site looks fine on the day of handoff.
Six months later, a plugin update breaks the contact form. Twelve months later, the theme is discontinued. Eighteen months later, the site is 40% slower than it was on launch day and ranking below competitors who spent half as much.
The business owner ends up paying another freelancer $600 to fix what broke, $100 a year for plugin licenses, and thousands in lost search traffic because the site was never actually optimized for local search. The "cheap" option isn't cheap. It just hides the real cost in recurring maintenance.
Hand-coded sites don't have plugins to break. They don't have themes to update. Every line of code exists because a human chose to write it, and every change is intentional. That's the durability you're paying for.
The exact numbers.
All three tiers include the same hosting, security, and SEO architecture. The difference is how many pages and how much local SEO surface area.

Frequently asked pricing questions.
Why does a hand-coded website cost more than a WordPress or Wix site?
Hand-coded sites load faster, rank higher, and never get hijacked by plugin updates. A WordPress site on shared hosting might cost $30/mo forever but will never beat a custom-coded site in page speed or local SEO scores. The up-front cost is higher; the long-term cost is lower.
What's included in the monthly hosting fee?
Private Proxmox server hosting, UptimeRobot 24/7 monitoring, nightly offsite backups (Cloudflare R2), Cloudflare tunnel security, free SSL certificate, and 30 minutes of small text/photo updates per month. No bandwidth overage charges, no "premium support" upsell.
Do I have to pay monthly forever?
Hosting is required while the site lives on Stroder Web Services infrastructure. You can cancel with 30 days written notice and get a copy of your files within 14 business days to host elsewhere. Your domain is always registered in your name. No lock-in.
Can I switch from my current designer or host?
Yes, and most clients do. Stroder Web Services regularly migrates businesses off WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and GoDaddy sites. If your domain is registered under your old designer's account, step one is reclaiming it. Usually a 10-minute conversation with the registrar.
How long does a build take?
Starter: 5-7 business days. Standard: 10-14 business days. Premium: 14-21 business days. Timelines start once the deposit clears and the intake form is submitted. The $500 Rush Build add-on prioritizes 7-day delivery on any tier.
Do I need a consultation call first?
No. The package builder shows your exact price live. Pick a tier, stack add-ons, pay the deposit, fill out the intake form. Most clients never need a phone call. If you want one anyway, the contact page has the address and quickest way to reach Dominic directly.
Ready to see your exact price?
Two minutes in the package builder, zero pressure. Price updates live as you stack add-ons.
