You’re going to hate this answer: it varies. 

Pricing depends on a number of variables, including complexity, size, functions (e-commerce, membership areas, etc.), content creation services, optimization requests, and so much more.

But keep in mind, Merrill Creative Solutions designs top-notch, customized websites that get businesses found online and convert browsers to buyers with incredible reliability. Our services behind the scenes are priceless, and we are positive you will be thrilled with your results. We aim to help businesses grow and business owners reach that next level of success and abundance, whatever that looks like to them. Plus, we won’t create something we wouldn’t put our name on and showcase to other potential clients. We want to be proud of your website, too!

If you still want a more figure-y kind of answer, you can expect to invest $2,500 minimum on our most “basic” website, which is still miles ahead of what most agencies consider basic. We also offer interest-free financing options, so don’t hesitate to ask!

You’re going to hate this answer, too: It VARIES.

We have a process in place to streamline building your site as much as possible, but how long it take to actually compete the site depends on a lot of the same elements that determine cost: size, content creation, customization, functions and third-party integrations, etc. 

We get as much of this information as possible from you up front, in our Discovery step, just to make sure we have everything we could possibly need to move seamlessly through the project. We want you to have your beautiful new website just as quickly as you do. But we also want to it be accurate, functional, and finalized* when it’s launched live. We can’t do that if we rush the process or skip steps. Well, we can, but at an additional premium. 

They are both!

At MCS, we create visually pleasing sites that are user-friendly AND focus on conversion.

It’s great to share lots of information with your visitors, but is that information encouraging visitors to purchase your goods or services? Can they navigate to your online store to purchase? Can they sign in to their member account? Do they know the value of what you offer? Are they engaged and excited to visit again? 

These are crucial questions to consider, and they are top of mind when we’re designing your website.

This is what we call “scope creep,” and it happens EVERY time. While we like to be flexible and responsive to your needs, we also like to deliver what we promise within the time frames and budgets we have presented. If you ask us to add new features to your website while we are building your site, will most likely ask why.

If we all agree that your new request will help us achieve our collective objectives without disrupting the timeline or budget, we will be more than happy to oblige.

If your new feature is something you would like to add to your website but is not directly tied to your original objectives or deliverables, we will suggest you schedule it for a second iteration of the website once it has been launched. This will require a new proposal.

We absolutely love helping business reach their goals. We have done a lot of work with clients of trusted partners like business coaches, agencies that offer only some of the services we do, and even companies that offer their own website design. 

However, we have found that white labeling work becomes difficult, especially for services like ads management or lead generation, when there is someone between the client and us. 

Instead, we offer an attractive referral program for partners who want to consistently send work our way. Reach out to us for more information.
