WAYS TO GET A WEBSITE
There is no single right way to buy a website. Compare the same things each time: the scope, who does the work, what is billed again later, and what you keep if you stop paying anyone.
| Option | How it is priced | What to check before you choose |
|---|---|---|
| Build it yourself on a website builder | Usually a recurring plan with the builder platform | The time you will spend writing, building and updating; which features need a higher plan; whether you can move the site elsewhere later. |
| Hire a freelancer | Usually quoted per project or per hour | What is written into the scope; who writes the copy; who handles changes and fixes after launch. |
| A one-time package from a studio or agency (how we work) | A fixed price for an agreed scope | Exactly which pages and features are included; how many revision rounds; what happens after launch. |
| A monthly website subscription | A recurring fee for the site and the services bundled with it | What the fee includes; the minimum term; what you keep, and what happens to the site, if you cancel. |
| An agency with an ongoing marketing retainer | A build fee, a recurring retainer, or both | Which work is the build and which is ongoing; reporting; how either side can end the agreement. |
Every option can be the right fit for a particular business. Ask for the answers in writing, whichever you choose. Weighing a builder? Read Wix or Squarespace vs a custom site.
WHAT GOES INTO THE TOTAL COST
The build is one line. List every part, then ask which are one-time, which repeat, and who pays each provider.
The build
The pages, copy draft, design, mobile layout and launch checks agreed in the scope.
Domain name
Registered and renewed with a domain provider, at that provider's prices.
Hosting
Charged by the hosting provider you use, depending on the plan.
Third-party tools
Such as form, email, map, analytics or booking services, each with its own terms, fees and limits.
Tax
Applicable tax on our package price is disclosed before purchase.
Optional care and ongoing SEO
Updates, maintenance or SEO after launch, only under a separate written scope and price.
Your time
Gathering business details and photos, and reviewing drafts.
We don't publish figures for domain, hosting or tool costs here, because they depend on the providers and plans chosen. For your project, we disclose the required third-party costs before you pay.
BASIC SEO SETUP VS. ONGOING SEO
"SEO included" can mean very different things. Here is exactly what our packages cover.
| Where it applies | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Included in Starter and Pro | Page titles, meta descriptions and headings; a sitemap and indexing setup; internal links, and structured business data where it is useful. |
| Added in Pro | A service/keyword page map and internal-link structure; local and service-area optimization; Google Business Profile alignment; analytics and conversion setup. |
| Not included unless separately agreed | Ongoing SEO, monthly reporting, ads, new pages after launch and continuous updates. |
Basic SEO setup prepares your pages for search engines. Indexing, rankings, traffic, leads and revenue are not guaranteed.
WHAT YOU OWN AFTER HANDOFF
From our service terms, in plain language.
- After final payment, we transfer the completed project files and agreed account access, with a handoff guide that lists the third-party services, renewals and ongoing responsibilities.
- You own the original content and the custom work created specifically for your project.
- Pre-existing Iron Canyon templates, utilities and reusable components remain ours. You receive a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use and modify them as part of the delivered website.
- Third-party code, fonts, images and platforms remain subject to their own licenses.
- Your domain and hosting accounts stay under your control. Those providers' fees and transfer restrictions may apply.
- After handoff, you manage hosting, renewals, backups and maintenance yourself, or arrange separately scoped care. No ongoing Iron Canyon subscription is required.
WHICH WAY TO BUY
The right route depends on what you have more of: time or money.
If you have more time than money
Build it yourself on a builder and keep it simple. Our Wix vs custom guide covers when that works and where it falls short.
If you want one price and the files in your hands
Pick a one-time package with the scope in writing. That is how we work: see which package fits.
If you want someone running your marketing every month
Look at an agency retainer, and get in writing which part is the build, which part is ongoing and how either side can end it.
TIMELINE, REVISIONS AND PAYMENT
Most standard builds take about 10 business days once the required details, materials, access and approvals are ready. We confirm your project's timeline in writing. You don't need to be local: we work with contractors anywhere in the US, mainly by email, and build the site around your own service area. Our team brings more than ten years of construction work across New York City, Florida and Arizona. About Iron Canyon Co.
Agree the Scope
We confirm the named pages, features, costs and terms in writing. Production starts after you accept, pay 50% and complete the intake.
Build and Review
One agreed design direction and two consolidated revision rounds within the agreed scope.
Approve and Launch
The final 50% is due after your written approval, before launch and handoff. We correct covered defects reported within 30 days; see the workmanship terms.
