Pricing & education

Clear pricing. Realistic expectations.

What a website costs, what it includes, what it can and can't do for your business, and what happens after launch — explained plainly, before you commit to anything.

No upfront website creation payment. Review and approve your completed website before paying.

Website creation

Two ways to get your website built.

Start from a professional design, or plan a custom website around your goals. Both include your first month of managed hosting and basic maintenance.

Starter Website

Starting at · one-time

$299

A professional, template-based website for businesses that need a credible, trustworthy presence online.

  • Up to five simple informational pages
  • Template-based professional design
  • Mobile responsive
  • Contact information and clear calls to action
  • Basic technical setup
  • First month of basic managed hosting and maintenance included
  • Scope and revisions subject to the agreed proposal

Custom Website

Scoped during consultation

Custom quote

For businesses that need more pages, more advanced functionality or a site planned around generating leads.

  • Up to 15 pages within the agreed project scope
  • Additional pages quoted separately
  • More advanced layouts and functionality
  • Custom integrations and forms where applicable
  • Conversion-focused planning
  • First month of basic managed hosting and maintenance included

This is not an unlimited-pages package. Complexity, integrations, custom features and content requirements determine the final proposal. Advanced projects with more than 15 pages remain available by custom quotation.

What may cost extra

Website creation covers the scope in your proposal. The following are not included and may require separate fees — custom integrations, premium software subscriptions and features outside the agreed scope may also incur additional charges. We'll always tell you before anything is added:

  • Domain registration and renewal
  • Third-party tools and licenses
  • Advanced SEO work
  • Ongoing content creation
  • Custom integrations
  • Premium software subscriptions
  • Out-of-scope features

How payment works

No upfront website creation payment

Your website is designed and developed before you pay the website creation fee. Once your completed website is ready, you'll have the opportunity to review it and request any revisions included in your selected package.

After you expressly approve the final website, the creation fee becomes payable. Your website will be published after payment is received and the necessary domain and hosting arrangements are completed.

  1. Choose & inquire

    Select a website package and send your inquiry.

  2. We design & build

    We create your website — no creation fee collected upfront.

  3. Review & revise

    Review the completed site and request the revisions included in your package.

  4. Approve

    You expressly approve the final website. The creation fee is then payable.

  5. Publish

    We publish after payment and the domain and hosting setup are complete.

Know what to expect

Not every website has the same job.

Understanding the difference helps you invest in the right thing — and avoid paying for promises no one can keep.

1Presence & credibility

A website that helps customers trust you

Many customers look a business up before they call. A presence website helps them confirm you are real, see what you do and reach you easily.

  • Shows who you are, what you offer and where you work
  • Makes it easy to call, email or request a quote
  • Supports referrals, ads and word of mouth

2Growth & lead generation

A website that is worked on over time

Using a website to attract new customers through search and other channels is an ongoing effort, not a one-time build.

  • Requires ongoing strategy and optimization
  • Depends on regular, useful content
  • Needs measurement to see what is working

Publishing a website is a starting point, not a guarantee.

A website on its own does not guarantee customers, search rankings or visibility in AI search tools. Organic growth can take six months or longer, depending on your competition, your market and many other factors. We won't promise a fixed timeline or result — we'll help you understand what genuinely moves the needle.

Our philosophy

Real businesses. Real experience. No empty promises.

Distinta's perspective comes from hands-on experience operating businesses in construction and software. We know what it's like to depend on customers finding and trusting you — so we focus on what a website can realistically do for your business, and we tell you plainly when something won't.

  • Transparency

    Clear scope, clear pricing, and no surprises added without asking you first.

  • Practical education

    We explain what your website can and can't do, so you can make informed decisions.

  • Realistic expectations

    No guaranteed rankings or overnight results — just honest advice and solid work.

Ownership & management

Your website, managed your way.

After your website is built, you decide who looks after it.

Build & Hand Off

We build the website, then deliver the agreed files, access and documentation so you or your technical team can manage it.

  • Handoff follows the terms agreed in your proposal
  • You choose your own hosting and providers
  • Ideal if you already have technical support

Build & Manage

We build the website and continue to host and maintain it for you under a separate ongoing service agreement.

  • Hosting and technical upkeep handled by Distinta
  • One clear point of contact for website care
  • Choose the level of support that fits your business
  1. Month one

    Basic managed hosting and maintenance are included with website creation.

  2. After that

    Monthly maintenance is optional. Continue with a Distinta care plan if it suits you.

  3. Or move on

    Transition to your own hosting according to the handoff terms in your proposal.

Domains, hosting and third-party infrastructure are not permanently free — after the included first month they are covered by a care plan, by you directly, or as agreed in your proposal.

Optional monthly care

Ongoing support, only if you want it.

Three optional monthly plans for after your included first month. Each builds on the one before it.

Your first month

New website creation includes the first month of basic managed hosting and maintenance only. Active Care and Growth Support services begin when you choose one of those plans.

Maintenance vs. SEO and marketing

Care plans keep your website running and include SEO reviews and recommendations at different levels. They are not full SEO campaigns, marketing management or advertising, and they do not guarantee rankings or leads.

Clearly defined support

Each plan covers a defined scope of work — not unlimited requests or consulting. Exact service limits, response times and exclusions are set out in your service agreement. Larger changes are quoted separately.

FAQ

Pricing questions, answered.

Straight answers about cost, ownership and what to expect. Still unsure? Send us a message.

Will a website guarantee me new customers?

No. A professional website helps customers find, trust and contact you, but no website can guarantee customers, search rankings or visibility in AI search tools. Results depend on your market, competition, offer and the ongoing work put into the site.

What does the $299 price cover?

The Starter Website starts at $299 as a one-time price. It covers a template-based professional design with up to five simple informational pages, mobile responsiveness, contact information and calls to action, basic technical setup, and the first month of basic managed hosting and maintenance. The exact scope and revisions are set out in your proposal. Domain registration, third-party tools, advanced SEO and ongoing content may cost extra.

Do I have to pay before my website is built?

No. Your website is designed and developed before you pay the website creation fee. You review the completed website and can request the revisions included in your package. After you expressly approve the final website, the creation fee becomes payable, and the website is published once payment is received and the necessary domain and hosting arrangements are completed.

Is monthly maintenance required?

No. The first month of basic managed hosting and maintenance is included with your new website. After that, monthly maintenance is optional — you can choose a Distinta care plan (from $59/month) or move to your own hosting according to the agreed handoff terms.

Do I own my website? What does handoff include?

If you choose Build & Hand Off, we deliver the agreed files, access and documentation so you or your technical team can manage the website. Exactly what is handed off is defined in your proposal. Hosting, domains and third-party services are not permanently free and remain subject to their own costs.

How long does SEO and organic growth take?

Organic growth commonly takes six months or longer, and depends on competition, your market, content and many other factors. We can't promise a fixed timeline or result — no one honestly can — but we'll be clear about what helps and what to expect.

How does the Bee Motion CRM maintenance discount work?

Customers with an eligible, active Bee Motion CRM subscription receive a 10% discount on Distinta monthly website maintenance. The discount does not apply to website creation or to CRM subscription fees.
