Is $500 Too Expensive? Let's Do The Math

One new customer per month pays for your website. Here's why it's actually the cheapest marketing you'll ever do.

We Understand the Concern

$500 is real money. Especially for a small business where every expense matters. We completely understand wanting to be careful with your budget.

But let's look at the actual numbers - because when you see the math, $500 starts to look very different.

The Simple Math

How Many Customers to Break Even?

Restaurant: Average bill $25-50 → 10-20 customers to pay for website

Barber/Salon: Average service $15-40 → 12-33 customers to pay for website

Mechanic: Average job $100-300 → 2-5 customers to pay for website

That's not per month. That's TOTAL. Forever.

Compare to Other Marketing Costs

Facebook Ads$100-500/month

$500 = 1-5 months of ads that stop working when you stop paying

Flyers/Printing$200-500/batch

$500 = 1-2 batches that get thrown away

Yellow Pages Ad$1,000-3,000/year

$500 = half the yearly cost for something almost nobody uses anymore

Your Website$500 once

Works 24/7, lasts for years, brings customers while you sleep

The Cost of NOT Having a Website

Lost Customers You'll Never Know About

Every month, people search for your type of business online. They don't find you. They go to your competitor. You'll never know how many customers you lost because they never contact you.

If just ONE customer per monthgoes to a competitor because they couldn't find you online, that's:

  • Restaurant: $600-1,200/year lost
  • Salon: $480-960/year lost
  • Mechanic: $1,200-3,600/year lost

Why We're This Affordable

You might be wondering: other website companies charge $2,000-5,000 or more. Why are we so much cheaper?

Simple: we specialize in small local businesses. We've built systems that let us create beautiful, effective websites quickly. We don't need to charge enterprise prices for small business needs.

Our goal is to help local businesses succeed online. We'd rather help 100 businesses at $500 than 10 businesses at $5,000.

Zero Risk to Try

Remember: You Don't Pay Until You're Happy

We build your demo website first. You see exactly what you're getting. Only if you love it do you pay the $500.

Don't like it? Don't pay. Simple as that.

The Real Question

The question isn't "Can I afford $500?"

The question is: "Can I afford to keep losing customers to competitors who have websites?"

One new customer per month.That's all it takes to make this the best $500 you ever spent.
