The Truth About Website Costs: Why Flat-Rate Pricing Wins


One of the most frustrating parts of hiring a web designer is the quote. You get an initial price, but then come the add-ons: hosting fees, plugin licenses, "hourly rate" for minor text changes, and setup costs for email.


The Problem with Hourly Billing

When agencies bill by the hour, they are incentivized to take longer. A simple revision can suddenly cost you hundreds of dollars. This unpredictability makes it impossible for a small business to budget effectively.


 What is Flat-Rate Web Design?

Flat-rate pricing means transparency. You pay one agreed-upon price for a specific scope of work.

  • No Surprise Invoices: You know exactly what the investment is upfront.
  • All-Inclusive Features: Essential tools like hosting, SSL security certificates, and contact forms are included, not add-ons.

Investing in ROI, Not Billable Hours

At VelocityWebs, we offer clear, flat pricing for our complete website packages. This includes everything from the design to the Google Business Profile integration. We believe you should pay for the result—a high-quality website—not the minutes it took to click the mouse.
