Hosting: Usually around $10-20/month, though more complex websites can cost more depending on traffic, storage, and functionality. You'll pay hosting fees directly to your provider.

Domain registration: Usually around $10-15/year, though premium domains can cost more. You'll pay domain fees directly to your registrar.

AI Assistant: Usage-based costs of $20-100/month for most small businesses, depending on conversation volume. These costs are separate from setup and may vary based on actual usage.

Commerce fees: If your site uses Stripe or another payment processor, transaction fees usually apply separately from the project cost. Exact rates depend on the processor and plan you choose.

Web Starter is best for businesses that need a polished custom website live quickly. Web Pro is for businesses that need more than a standard site, including custom commerce, automations, integrations, and workflows that support growth.

If your website mainly needs credibility and lead generation, Web Starter is usually enough. If your website needs to sell, automate, or connect to business systems, Web Pro is the better fit.

Templates can be fine for very simple websites. Working with a developer makes more sense when you need stronger branding, better performance, better lead flow, custom commerce, or integrations that match how your business actually works.

The goal is not custom for the sake of custom. The goal is a site that fits your business instead of forcing your business into a pre-made layout or limited feature set.
