What a contractor website costs: what to pay for and what not to
We do not give a market average because we have no reliable source. At Fuse Web Design our bands are $999 to $2,000, $2,000 to $5,000 and $5,000 and up, depending on scope (not a quote). Costs we can verify: Google Workspace email on the Starter plan is $7 per user per month (November 9, 2026), a Google Business Profile is free and SSL certificates can be free. Before you pay, ask who owns the domain and the site, what each monthly fee is for and whether a contract locks you in.

Costs we can verify (official sources)
“All plans billed monthly” · “All prices $USD”
In short: plans are billed monthly and prices are in US dollars. Starter: $7.00 per user per month as of Nov 9, 2026 (not counting the promo).
“Yes, creating a Business Profile and listing your business on Google is free.”
In short: creating a Business Profile on Google is free.
“Let's Encrypt is a Certificate Authority that provides free TLS certificates”
In short: TLS certificates (the padlock on your site) can be free. Ask what any fee for it covers.
“Cloudflare Registrar does not mark up domain prices at all.”
In short: this is one registrar's own claim. We do not state a domain price: check the renewal price at the registrar before you buy.

No promises
A website helps people find and call you. No one can guarantee a Google ranking or calls.
What to look at in a quote
Who owns the domain?
It is best if it is registered in your name and email, and you hold the login. This is advice, not a legal rule.
Who owns the site?
Ask whether the files, photos and text are yours and whether you can take a copy if you leave.
What is each monthly fee?
A Google profile and an SSL certificate can be free. Ask for each line to be explained.
Is there a lock-in contract?
Read the minimum term and the cost to cancel. Get it in writing.
What about edits and renewals?
Ask how many changes per month are included, who pays for the renewal of the domain, hosting and email, and at what price.
Summary
- Domain in your name
- A copy of your site if you leave

Frequently asked questions
How much does a contractor website cost?
It depends on the scope. At Fuse our bands are $999–$2,000, $2,000–$5,000 and $5,000 and up. We do not give a market average or a quote without knowing the job.
Will I own my domain and website?
It is best if you do. Ask in writing who the domain registrant is, who holds the login and whether you can take a copy of the site.
Should I pay monthly for SSL or my Google profile?
Both can be free. If you are charged for them, ask what the fee covers.
How much is business email?
Google Workspace Starter is $7 per user per month billed monthly (November 9, 2026). Other options exist and prices can change.
