How much does a website cost in Reading?

Most Reading small businesses spend $1,500-$3,500 for a professional site. That's 25-35% less than Philadelphia pricing because we know Reading's economy. 5-10 pages, mobile-responsive, contact forms, basic SEO. Payment plans available if you need to spread it out—no interest, just monthly chunks.

Ongoing maintenance is $55/month—covers hosting, updates, upkeep, and technical support. First 6 months ($330) are included with your build fee, then month-to-month after that. Pay for a full year upfront and get one month free ($550 vs $600).

How long until my site goes live?

3-4 weeks for most Reading businesses. Some competitors quote 6-8 weeks—we're faster. Rush projects (grand openings, special events) can be done in 2 weeks if you're ready to move. Timeline depends on how quickly you respond and provide feedback—the faster you send us your photos, content, and approvals, the faster we launch.

Can't I just use Wix or Squarespace?

You could. 51% of people who start DIY websites abandon them before finishing. 91% say some part was "overly difficult." Most businesses outgrow Wix in 12-24 months, then rebuilding costs 25-40% MORE than just hiring us upfront.

Here's the math: Most people spend 40+ hours learning Wix and building their site. If your time running your business is worth even $50/hour, that's $2,000 of lost revenue—more than we charge for a professional site. Plus, Wix is terrible for local SEO—Reading businesses need to rank in "near me" searches, and DIY platforms just don't cut it.

Do I really need a website? I have Facebook.

63% of customers use company websites to find businesses. Only 37% use social media. Facebook is great for engagement, but you don't own it—algorithm changes can kill your reach overnight. Plus, websites rank in Google; Facebook posts don't.

Here's the thing: even if someone finds you through referral, they're Googling you before they call. No website = looks like you're out of business. Reading businesses with websites sell for 2-3x more than those without.
