How Much Does Full-Service Web Design & Management Cost in 2025?
Whether you’re launching a new brand, Starting a store/restaurant, refreshing an outdated site, or just tired of trying to figure out WordPress— you’re probably asking the same question:
“How much does it cost to hire someone to design and manage my website?”
Spoiler: There’s no one-size-fits-all price. But don’t worry — we’ll break it down simply.
In this blog, we’ll walk through the three most common pricing tiers for full-service web design and management in 2025, what you get at each level, and how to choose the right one for your business.
What Is “Full-Service” Web Management, Anyway?
Before we get into costs, let’s define the term.
Full-service web management means you’re not just getting a designer to make your site look good — you’re getting a partner to build, manage, and grow your online presence over time.
This can include:
• Website design and development
• Strategy and branding alignment
• Monthly updates and maintenance
• Performance and SEO optimization
• Content help (like blogs or landing pages)
• Technical support when something breaks (because it will)
The level of service scales with your goals — whether you need a streamlined presence or a fully managed digital partner, full-service web management adapts to fit your business.
So, How Much Does Full-Service Web Design Cost?
Here’s a simple breakdown of what businesses are paying in 2025 — and what they’re getting in return.
1. Essentials Tier: Entry-Level Presence
$750 – $2,000 one-time, $45-$75 monthly
Best for: Side hustlers, solopreneurs, artists, or first-time business owners.
If you just need to get online quickly and professionally, this is where most people start. You’ll get a basic website that covers the essentials — something you can share with clients, add to your bio, or link from your social media.
It’s great for launching — but may feel limiting as your business grows. But don’t worry, you can upgrade.
“You don’t need it all upfront — just the right people to grow with.”
2. Next-Level Presence: Strategy, Style, and Support
$2,500 – $10,000 one-time + monthly plans from $95–$750
Best for: Service providers, growing local businesses, small teams, and personal brands.
This tier is designed for business owners who are ready to turn their website into a powerful tool — not just a digital placeholder. It goes beyond design to support real, long-term growth.
With the Growth Tier, you get a Custom, mobile-friendly website that reflects your brand and serves your goals — whether that’s bringing in leads, making bookings, selling products, or building credibility in your space. But it doesn’t stop there.
You also get access to:
• On-demand updates and content support
• SEO optimization to help you get found on Google
• Monthly reporting to track performance
• Ongoing technical maintenance and security
• Strategic guidance as your business evolves
It’s ideal for businesses who want to stay focused on their work — while knowing their online presence is being managed, updated, and aligned with their goals at all times.
“From first impression to ongoing success — we’re with you all the way.”

If you’re a business owner looking to delegate your website and focus on your actual work — this tier is for you.
3. Premium Tier: Full Digital Management
$15,000+ one-time + $995/month and up
Best for: Large-scale businesses, agencies, eCommerce brands, or high-traffic websites.
Branding strategy, advanced integrations, SEO campaigns, content production, analytics dashboards, and an expert team at your service — often including dedicated project managers and marketing consultants.
Great for companies who need their website to work as hard as they do — but it’s more than most small businesses need (or should pay for) when starting.
“Your outsourced digital team — everything handled, end to end.”
