“How much does a website cost?”

The real answer: it depends.

Websites aren’t products with a barcode. They’re shaped by your goals, systems, audience, integrations, and the realities of change during a project.

I’ve written about why fixed‑price quotes often create false certainty, and why adaptive pricing leads to better outcomes.

“Honestly, I feel like web developers are constantly being gaslit into thinking that complex over-engineered solutions are the only option. When the discourse is being dominated by people invested in frameworks and libraries, all our default thinking will involve frameworks and libraries. That’s not good for users, and I don’t think it’s good for us either.”
