Contractor website pricing: $0 today, pay only when you sign off.
A contractor website from Pixel Studio costs $750, $1,500, or $3,500, fixed, with $0 due today. Payment runs like a draw schedule: you inspect each milestone, approve it, and the final payment waits until you sign off on the live site. Hosting is free for the life of the site.
No hourly billing. No deposit. If we miss a milestone by more than a week, the next phase is on us.
Three packages. One fixed number each.
Foundation

Every package: hand-coded build, 98+ Lighthouse, lifetime free hosting, and 100% ownership of the code, content, and design at delivery. Your only recurring cost is your domain, about $15 a year, paid to your registrar, in your name. See how the build runs.
Hit the number, or we work free. Then we refund.
- DiscoveryWe agree in writing on one number: your baseline and your 90-day target. Conversion rate for sites with meaningful traffic, qualified-lead volume for the rest. It goes in the contract.
- Day 90If we miss the target, we keep working at no charge, more fixes and more tests, for up to 90 more days.
- Day 180Still short, and we refund what you paid. You keep the site, the code, the content, and the hosting.
Three plain conditions, and that is the whole fine print: tracking stays installed and the baseline is measured before launch; the site isn't materially changed by others mid-measurement; leads get a response within one business day. Foundation runs simpler: pay on satisfaction plus the walk-away right. Exit at any milestone and keep everything made so far. Two clients have walked in 24 builds. They kept the work.
"You'd never pay a sub 50% before they show up. We don't ask you to either. Draws against inspected work, final payment after sign-off. You hold the retainage on us."
Yahya Malik, founder, Pixel Studio
Where does the $1,500 go?
The Site & Spec engagement, line by line. We'd rather you see exactly what you're buying than wonder. Approximate splits, fixed total.
What we don't bill for
Hosting, ever. The strategy brief if you walk. Calls and questions along the way. And any milestone we slip: miss by more than a week and the next phase is on us.
Does a $1,500 site pay for itself?
Run the math with your own numbers. Close a single one of those extra leads and, on almost any job in this industry, the fee is covered. Hammond's result is Hammond's: across the 12 builds with clean analytics baselines, average lead lift at 90 days is 3.4×, and lift typically starts within 30 days.

The money questions.
A contractor website costs $750 to $3,500 at Pixel Studio: $750 for a single-page Foundation site, $1,500 for the full multi-page Site & Spec build, $3,500 for Headquarters with a portal or store. DIY builders run cheaper and convert worse. Generalist agencies typically charge far more for the same scope. Every tier is $0 today, paid on satisfaction. Full numbers in the 2026 cost guide.
Three honest reasons keep our prices at $750 to $3,500. We only serve construction, so nothing gets re-learned on your dime. We hand-code static sites with no plugin stack or proprietary CMS, so there is no retainer to justify and hosting costs us almost nothing. And we are a small crew, not an office of account managers padding the invoice.
There is no catch on $0 upfront: we bill like a draw schedule instead of taking a deposit. Each milestone is invoiced only after you inspect and approve it, and the final payment waits for punch-list sign-off on the live site. You can walk at any milestone and keep everything made so far. Two clients have walked in 24 builds.
Final payment is not due until the finished site is live in front of you and you sign off, like a punch list. If we can't get it right, you exit at that milestone, pay nothing further, and keep the brief, the designs, and the code produced so far. You hold the retainage on us.
The Pay-On-Proof Guarantee is staged: fix first, refund second. During discovery we put your baseline and 90-day target in writing. Miss it at day 90 and we keep working free for up to 90 more days. Still short at day 180 and we refund what you paid, and you keep the site, code, content, and hosting. It covers Site & Spec and Headquarters.
Monthly cost after launch is $0 to us. Marketing-site hosting (CDN, SSL, backups, monitoring) is free for the life of the site on Pixel-managed infrastructure, fair use. Your only recurring bill is your domain, about $15 a year, paid to your registrar in your name. Portal, store, and AI-receptionist infrastructure is billed at raw provider cost with receipts, zero markup.
