Web Design
Websites built to rank, not just look good.
I build fast, custom websites for local service businesses, priced flat so you know the number before I start. Three tiers, no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
How much does a website cost with Stoughton Media?
Three flat-rate tiers: $750, $1,800, and $3,000. You pick the tier, I quote nothing extra. The price you see is the price you pay.

Which web design tier is right for me?
If you just need to be online and found, start with Foundation. If you want a custom site that actually pulls leads, that's Presence. If you're going after a whole market with trade and area pages, that's Authority.
Most local service businesses land on Presence. It's the first tier with a fully custom design, live reviews, and lead capture, which is what turns a website from a business card into something that brings you work. Foundation is the honest choice if budget is tight and you just need a clean, fast site that ranks for your name. Authority is for when you're ready to dominate: separate pages for every trade and every area you serve, plus a blog set up and ready to feed Google fresh content.
What about hosting and upkeep after launch?
Optional. I offer three recurring plans after any build. None are required at checkout, and you can add or drop them whenever you want.
| Plan | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Care Plan | $75–100/mo | Hosting, backups, uptime monitoring, security updates, and small edits. |
| Content Plan | $300–400/mo | 2 blog posts a month, written in my voice. |
| Content Plan+ | $500–600/mo | 4 blog posts a month, written in my voice. |
How long does a website take to build?
It depends on the tier and how fast you get me content and feedback. I'll give you a realistic timeline before we start, then hit it.
I move fast on my end. The one thing that speeds a build up or slows it down is how responsive you are with content and approvals, so I'll tell you exactly what I need from you up front and we set a target together. No rigid, one-size timeline, just a straight answer for your project.
Keep going
Where to next
No pitch. No pressure.
Let's build something that earns its keep.
Tell me a bit about your business and I'll record a free video audit of your current site, or your competitors' if you don't have one yet, and show you exactly what I'd build.
