How did we compare GoVisible Web with other options?

Every price and timeline we show for an agency, a freelancer or a do-it-yourself builder comes from published guides, checked on October 9, 2026. We did not collect quotes, so these are typical ranges, not promises about any one company.

Guides disagree with each other. Where they did, we used the middle of the range, and we changed our own figures when the sources did not support them.

Where does each figure come from?

  • Agency price: $5,000-$15,000

    Two published small-business pricing guides give this range for a complete site. One of them runs a little higher at the top.

  • Agency timeline: 4-8 weeks

    Two guides on build time give four to eight weeks for a professional agency. Custom builds with photography and special features take longer, and we do not compare against those.

  • Freelancer price: $2,000-$7,600

    This comes from one guide that multiplies typical hourly rates by typical hours. Very cheap freelance jobs exist below this range, so treat it as a middle figure.

  • Freelancer timeline: 4-8 weeks

    An experienced freelancer building a full business site lands in the same range as an agency.

  • Do-it-yourself builder: $200-$1,400 a year

    This is the cost of paid builder plans. Free plans exist, but they carry the builder’s ads and web address. Your own time is on top of this.

  • Monthly subscription sites: $50-$150 a month

    We checked the pricing pages of four smaller providers. This is a small sample, not a survey of the whole market.

Why do some rows say “usually not” instead of “no”?

Some agencies do show a mockup first, and some subscription services let you keep your words and photos. A flat “no” would be wrong for those companies, so the tables say what is usual instead.
