At Cheapsites, we specialize in static websites where the content remains fixed, which we refer to as “brochure” websites. These are primarily informational websites designed to provide straightforward information or data, and they cover the needs of most clients.

We do not handle more complex projects such as animation (for which we recommend Webflow developers), complex sites with over 200 pages, custom-coded websites, or dynamic websites where content changes based on user interactions or database updates.

Additionally, while we can work on simple e-commerce sites on a case-by-case basis using available layouts, we highly suggest Shopify for advanced e-commerce needs, especially if you have limited resources.

For projects outside our focus, we recommend consulting with specialists in those areas to ensure your specific requirements are met.

At Cheapsites, we believe in price transparency, so we’ve made our pricing easy to understand and accessible on our pricing list. For a standard WordPress site, your costs include hosting and any premium plugins you choose to add—those are entirely up to you. For custom websites, our pricing starts at $5,000. This package includes a homepage, an about us page, a contact us page, a privacy policy page, a products or services page, an FAQ page, a testimonials or reviews page, a portfolio page, terms and conditions, and a sitemap.

We don’t start anything until we’ve had a conversation with you, because we believe in being a great partner. Understanding your needs is our top priority, so we ensure that every detail aligns with your vision before moving forward.

DIY (Do-It-Yourself): We set everything up for you, including hosting if needed. You choose from one of our premium layouts, and we’ll provide a video playlist on how to use the page builder and customize your layout. After the initial setup, there are no additional fees—you’re in control from there.

DIT (Do-It-Together):  You choose a premium layout, and we help tweak the graphics, pictures, wording, and colors. The layout structure remains unchanged, but we assist with branding where appropriate. You’ll also get help with plugin setup, project management through Trello, and guidance throughout the process. Additional pages can be added for $250 per page, subject to our guidelines. Also, please note that we can not tweak all layouts. We will let you know beforehand if that is the case on the layout that you choose.

DIFY (Do-It-For-You): We provide everything included in DIT but with the flexibility to change the layout structure. This means we can add rows, extra graphics, and other customizations within the original layout’s integrity. We’ll discuss what can and cannot be done and, if feasible, suggest the DIT tier to save you money where appropriate.

Custom website: You can choose a layout to speed up development or request a custom-built site from scratch. We provide a Trello account to track progress and manage change requests—one at a time per page. We’ll work diligently to ensure your site meets your exact specifications. Once you give final approval, the site will be “locked” to prevent further changes. However, due to the time constraints of our developers and to address potential delays, we will review the project after 25 revisions have been requested to ensure timely progress.

Our goal is to provide you with the best experience possible by delivering exceptional value on a budget. We thrive when working with clients who are decisive and appreciate that our focus is on offering high-quality service without the highest price tag. If you’re seeking a site with extensive customizations and numerous bells and whistles, we recommend exploring options with a more high-priced developer—we promise it won’t hurt our feelings. However, if you choose to work with us, you can expect outstanding value at a great price, with our commitment to delivering a website that meets your needs effectively and affordably.

Hiring a full-time developer can be a great option if you need frequent updates and continuous development. However, this route involves significant costs beyond just salary, including hiring, training, benefits, and potentially even severance if things don’t work out. A full-time developer can cost upwards of $80,000 to $120,000 annually, plus additional overhead.

If you’re not looking for ongoing development and prefer a more budget-friendly approach, Cheapsites offers excellent value. We handle the initial setup and design efficiently and affordably.

For ongoing support, we provide maintenance packages starting at $500 a month, allowing you to benefit from professional service without the long-term commitment and additional costs of a full-time hire.

If you’re not satisfied with your website design, we’re here to help. For DIY services, you have full control to make changes yourself using the page builder tools we provide. For DIT services, you can submit revision requests through Trello, and we’ll work to address them one at a time, aiming for a design that meets your expectations.

With DIFY/Custom Site services, you’ll be able to request changes and adjustments through Trello as well, and we’ll make revisions based on your feedback until you’re happy with the result. If you have concerns about the design at any stage, we’ll discuss them with you and make necessary adjustments to ensure your website aligns with your vision.

How fast? The famous question we get all the time. We understand that timing is crucial when launching a new website, and we strive to deliver your site as quickly as possible while ensuring quality. The speed of delivery can vary depending on the service tier you choose and the complexity of your project. Here is a quick breakdown:

DIY: Once we receive your hosting information, you can have your site up and running in 24-48 hours. We use Namecheap for hosting, but if you use your own, just provide us with WordPress administration access, and we’ll have your layout set up within the same timeframe. If additional time is needed, we’ll keep you informed. Even though the layout will be uploaded, it is up to you to update the content on your site, to make it your own.

DIT: Your site can be completed in less than a week if there are few changes to the layout. You’ll have access to the site in 24-48 hours once we receive access to your WordPress dashboard. The more changes you request, the longer the process will take. We aim to handle all revision requests within 24 hours, one at a time, based on your Trello list. We’ll explain this process in detail during the discovery call. We are human, and this is a service, so please keep that in mind.

DIFY/Custom Site: The timeline is similar to DIT and depends on the number of changes you request. You’ll get access to your site within 24-48 hours once we have access to your WordPress dashboard. For an expedited option, we offer a Rapid Response (if we are at max capacity, we will let you know) service for $1,000, which delivers five pages quickly, though most customers find this unnecessary.

Most people come to us due to budget constraints, which is exactly why we launched Cheapsites. While many turn to site builders like Wix or Squarespace for DIY solutions, what sets us apart is the human guidance we offer alongside great technology. We provide the best of both worlds—a high-quality website and the expert support you need, so you don’t have to navigate it all on your own.

In 48 hours, our target is that you’ll receive a fully set-up version of your website based on the service tier you chose:

DIY: You’ll get a fully functional site with your chosen layout installed and ready for you to start customizing. This includes the basic setup, so you can begin editing content and personalizing your site immediately.

DIT: You’ll have access to a live version of your site with the premium layout installed. The site will be ready for you to review, and you can have us start making changes to the graphics, pictures, and wording. Your Trello board will be set up for managing further revisions.

DIFY/Custom Site: You’ll get access to a preliminary version of your site with the layout and initial setup completed. Depending on your custom requirements, this will include a basic structure and design, and you can start reviewing and requesting changes as needed. For custom sites, we will have an onboarding call to get to know more about your vision for your new site.

In all cases, except custom sites, we aim to ensure that you have a working version of your site layout within 48 hours, setting the stage for further customization and final tweaks.

You are responsible for providing and managing your hosting. Hosting refers to the service that stores your website’s files and makes them accessible on the internet. If you don’t have hosting set up, we can assist with the process or recommend options. For DIY and DIT services, you will need to either use our preferred hosting provider, Namecheap.com, or provide us with access to your chosen hosting service. If you select our DIFY/Custom Site service, we can also guide you through selecting and setting up hosting, ensuring everything is in place for your site’s launch.

To request design changes or revisions, the process varies based on the service tier you’ve chosen:

DIY: You’ll manage all design changes yourself using the page builder tools we provide. We offer video tutorials to guide you through making adjustments to your layout, graphics, and content. There are no additional steps for revision requests beyond your own edits.

DIT: Use Trello to submit and manage your design change requests. Create a list of changes, and we’ll handle them one at a time, aiming to complete each request within 24 hours. During the discovery call, we’ll show you how to use Trello for this process.

DIFY/Custom Site: Similar to DIT, you’ll use Trello to request changes. We’ll provide a preliminary version of your site within 24-48 hours, and you can submit your revision requests there. We’ll manage the revisions based on your feedback, working within the scope of the original layout and design.

Trello offers a ton of flexibility for requesting design changes. You can submit requests directly via Trello, share Google Docs or wireframes on Trello, or even record a brief Loom video if you prefer not to write out your briefs. Basically, if it can be linked to or shared in Trello, it’s fair game.

At Cheapsites, we aim to deliver a website that meets your needs and expectations. However, due to the high-quality nature of the work, there will be no refunds issued. We encourage open communication and detailed feedback throughout the project to ensure you’re satisfied with the result. If you have concerns, we’ll work with you to address them and make necessary adjustments to meet your expectations.
