What you pay to build it, edit it, and keep it running.
Three separate choices, each with its own price. Pick the website you need, add an editing tool if you want to make changes yourself, and decide how much help you want after your site is live. Choosing one never locks you into another, and none of them locks you into us.
Your website

| What it is | What it does | What it costs |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Keeps your website online | About $20 a month |
| Web address | Your yourbusiness.com name | A small fee once a year |
| Editing tool | Lets you change your own words and photos | Free for most small businesses |
Your website runs on accounts in your name, so these companies bill you directly. None of this money goes through us, and you always see exactly what you pay.
Edit it yourself
Want to change your own words, photos, or hours without waiting on us? We set up an editing tool in your name, connect it to your website, and show you how to use it. It is a one-time add-on to any website.
Change what is already on your pages: words, photos, hours, menus, services, and posts. Includes a walkthrough and a short how-to guide.
Everything in Editable Content, plus the ability to add brand-new pages yourself using building blocks designed to match your site. Whatever you add will still look like your business.
| Website | Editable Content | Page Builder |
|---|---|---|
| Launch | +$400 | Not offered on a one-page site |
| Grow | +$400 | +$800 |
| Scale | Included | +$400 upgrade |
Founding rates shown. The editing tool runs on Sanity, a trusted service, and we set it up on its free plan in your name. For most small businesses, there is nothing extra to pay.
After launch
Your website should not be forgotten the day it goes live.
Many web designers hand over the website and move on. Then a form stops working, a link breaks, or your hours change, and nobody notices until a customer does.
Care is our monthly help plan. We keep your website working and up to date, and when you need something you cannot do yourself, you call us instead of figuring it out alone.
Care is optional and separate from your website price. Pick a plan based on how often you expect to make changes, not on which website you bought.
Every Care plan includes
- Changes you send us, up to your monthly hours
- We watch for broken links and forms, and fix security problems
- Regular backups, and we restore your site if something goes wrong
- Help with your editing tool, and fixes if an edit breaks something
- Answers within one business day, at no extra charge
- Your requests go to the front of the line, and extra time costs less
Steady
For websites that rarely change. A seasonal menu, new hours, or a new photo now and then.
Active
For businesses that make changes often. Events, specials, and new services.
Partner
For businesses that count on their website to bring in work. New sections and steady improvements, not just upkeep.
Fixes and updates for pre-existing sites
Not ready for a new site? We can fix what is broken and make the changes you need on the one you have. Every job starts with a Site Review, so you see a price for each fix before we touch anything.
Site Review
We go through your site page by page and give you a written report covering what is broken, what is at risk, and a set price for each fix. You decide what gets done and when.
| Fixes from your review | Set price | Each item is quoted on its own, so you can do the urgent ones now and save the rest for later. |
|---|---|---|
| Changes as you need them | $85/hour | One-hour minimum per request, then billed in 15-minute steps. |
| 5 hours, paid ahead | $375 | That is $75 an hour. Use it within 90 days. |
| 10 hours, paid ahead | $700 | That is $70 an hour. Use it within 90 days. |
Nothing you spend with us is wasted. If you decide on a new Mainline site within 90 days, your Site Review comes off the price, and so does part of what you have spent on fixes. Your review also holds a Founding Partner spot for you during those 90 days.
We back up your site before making changes, and you keep every login. Work on online stores, payments, and plugin updates is quoted separately. Care plans are for sites we build. Founding rates apply only to websites we build, so the prices in this section are our standard prices.
Questions people often ask.
Does my Care plan have to match my website package?
No. A one-page website that changes often might need Partner, and a large website that rarely changes might only need Steady.
If I can edit my own website, why would I want Care?
The editing tool lets you change what is on your pages. Care covers everything else: new kinds of sections, things that break, and the weeks you are too busy.
What does the founding rate lock in?
Your lower price on your website, the editing tool, and Care, for as long as you stay with us. It is a permanent discount, not a limited-time deal.*
*Founding rates apply only to websites we build for you, not to fixes or updates on a pre-existing site.
Can I add the editing tool later?
Yes, for the same price. It is quicker to set up while we are building your website, so let us know early if you think you will want it.
Can I upgrade to a bigger package later?
Yes. You only pay the difference, at your founding rate.
Do you work with businesses outside Jacksonville?
Yes. We work with small businesses in all 50 states, and everything is done remotely. If you would like to meet in person, we can travel for a fee.
What if my project does not fit any package?
Custom websites start at $1,500. Tell us what you need and we will give you a clear quote.
