Published Rates and Pricing

The most common question we hear is “How much does it cost to develop a website?” Because every website is unique with an infinite range of requirements, it’s next to impossible to answer that question without first gathering the parameters of the project. The first step is a consultation — over the phone or in person — to flesh out the specifications on both functionality and design.

Following the consultation, we write up an estimated price range for the requirements plus any optional tasks. Because we develop WordPress websites in a modular fashion, we quote individual tasks by breaking down the whole into more easily digested pieces. The formal estimate is emailed for review and feedback.

If you’re unable to proceed with everything at once, you have the option to pick which pieces you want now and which you want to add later. The great thing about WordPress is we can continually add new functionality and templates as you grow.

Although it’s difficult to answer the proverbial question, we have nothing to hide and will always be up front with pricing. We aim to hit the estimated budget within +/- 10% and give you progress reports throughout the project, including a heads-up when the budget is closing in. We don’t like surprises and figure you don’t either.

WordPress design and development

We’re not the cheapest game in town when it comes to developing a WordPress site. We’re also nowhere near the most expensive. Crack-Ajax charges middle-of-the-road rates for top-rate service and quality of craftsmanship — the best value you’ll find in this business.

Hosting, maintenance and security

Crack-Ajax provides fully managed, WordPress-optimized hosting that includes everything you need. We also offer comprehensive maintenance and security for your WordPress site to make sure it’s always up-to-date and secure. Pay monthly, quarterly, or annually — whatever works.

Note: Hosting account setup and configuration requires a one-time fee of $199.

AI services for small business

AI-powered chatbots with lead capture, content optimized for AI answer engines, and custom workflow automation built for your business. All AI tools we build run on infrastructure we manage — no third-party SaaS subscriptions on top of the rates below. See our AI services pages for what’s included.

Note: Larger custom AI builds are typically quoted as fixed-price after a discovery call. Ongoing AI service maintenance and monthly retainers are quoted individually based on scope.

Additional services

We offer several additional services based on hourly rates. We also offer recurring monthly services such as blogging, social media posting, and reputation management. Recurring service rates are quoted based on your specific needs — contact us and we’ll get you an estimate right away.

All work performed outside our normal business hours (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Mountain Time, Monday through Friday) is billed at time-and-a-half of the published rates. See our Terms and Conditions for full details on payment and billing.
