The math, not the pitch

$149 a month,
is it worth it?

That is not ours to answer — it depends on what a sale is worth at your place. Put in the price of one ordinary sale, and the math does itself.

$149 is the whole bill — everything included. The number you enter is yours; nothing else is assumed.

What a site costs elsewhere

Prices taken from public pricing pages, checked September 5, 2026. The ranges stay ranges; the three-year totals are plain arithmetic on the listed prices.

Option Up front Monthly Who does the updates Contract Over 3 years
Bonne Enseigne $0 $149 We do — you send a message None ≈ $5,364
Freelance build + care plan $500 – $5,000 $89 – $179 The plan — content edits start at the $179 tier By contract ≈ $3,700 – $11,400
Local agency $5,000 – $30,000+ $95 – $195 The agency By contract ≈ $8,400 – $37,000+
Squarespace (DIY) $0 $25, or $19 paid a year ahead You do None month to month ≈ $900
Wix (DIY) $0 $24, or $17 paid a year ahead You do None month to month ≈ $860
GoDaddy (DIY) $0 $9.99 intro → $16.99 at renewal You do Billed a year at a time ≈ $530
Over 3 years = up front + monthly × 36, at the month-to-month price, before domain and extras. GoDaddy bills annually: its total counts one intro year plus two years at the renewal price. The freelance row adds a care plan to the build; only the $179 tier includes content edits.

We are not the cheapest: Squarespace or Wix runs $17 to $25 a month if you build and update the site yourself, and over three years our $149 × 36 comes to $5,364 — more than a starter freelance build.

The difference is who does the work. On the builders, you design, write, and update the site yourself, on your own evenings. The one plan on this list where someone else makes your content changes runs $179 a month — after you have paid to have the site built. Here: nothing up front, nothing to learn, and you stop with one message.

One more thing we don’t do: online ordering. If you need a cart, Wix or GoDaddy’s commerce plans are built for that.

The cost that never shows up

A customer who looks for you and finds nothing — or finds last year’s hours and drives over to a locked door — doesn’t write to tell you. He goes down the street, and you never know he came.

It’s the only line on this page without a printed price. It’s also the one that, month after month, costs the most.
