Additional Services


À La Carte Services

These are optional services you can add any time — before or after launch. They are not part of your package build. Each is priced separately because not every client needs them.

Google Search Ranking Articles
From $399From $349

Starter — 8 Articles   $399  ·  $349 w/hosting
Growth — 15 Articles   $798  ·  $749 w/hosting

Or just $35/month — one article per month added to your Milestone Hosting invoice. No upfront commitment, and every article moves you higher in Google search.

Google ranks websites that consistently publish in-depth, relevant content on their topic. Not occasionally — consistently. It’s how Google determines whether your business is a credible authority worth showing to searchers. Each article runs 1,500–2,000 words, targets a specific keyword your customers are actually searching for, and is written to earn that ranking.

  • Keyword research & targeting
  • SEO-optimized title & meta description
  • Strategic internal linking
  • Header hierarchy (H1, H2, H3)
  • Natural, readable copy written for humans first

The Starter package gets you on Google’s radar. The Growth package is where real search visibility begins. Most clients see meaningful movement within 90–120 days.

SEO Content Writing
10¢/word

The words on your core pages — Home, About, Services, Contact — written to rank. Keyword research, strategic placement, and copy that reads naturally while performing in search. This covers page-level copy only; blog articles are a separate service.

A standard page runs ~600 words (~$60).

Article Transfers and Posting
$10/article$7/article

You write it, we handle the rest. Each article is proofread, formatted for the web, and published with full SEO treatment:

  • Spell check & light proofreading
  • Header hierarchy (H1, H2, H3)
  • Meta title & description
  • URL slug optimization
  • Image SEO (alt text, file names, titles)
  • Categories, tags & internal linking
  • Featured image setup

Applies to articles beyond what's included in your package. Volume discounts for 10+.

Google Business Profile Setup
$150$125

Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a local customer sees. We set it up completely — categories, service areas, hours, photos, and description — so you show up on Google Maps and Search.

One-time setup only. Google's verification process (handled by you) is required before the profile goes live.

Additional Webpages
$350/page$300/page

Need more than your package includes? Each additional page is fully designed, mobile-optimized, and SEO-ready — all sections scoped for that page included. The same standard as every page in your build, not an afterthought.

Copywriting and stock photos available as add-ons. Pages requiring e-commerce, booking systems, or custom functionality may be quoted separately.

Photo Gallery
$45 + $2/img$35 + $2/img

Show your work, your space, or your products in a mobile-friendly gallery with lightbox viewing. Great for contractors, restaurants, photographers, retailers — any business where seeing is believing.

Base fee covers setup and gallery build; images billed per upload.

Conditional Logic Forms
$120$100

A smart form that adapts in real-time — showing or hiding fields based on how each question is answered. Perfect for quote requests, service inquiries, or multi-step applications. Includes up to 10 questions; $7/question over 10 ($5 w/hosting).

Real-Time Website Chat
$179$149

Let visitors reach you the moment they're interested — no phone call, no waiting for an email reply. Live chat converts hesitant visitors into paying customers, especially for service businesses where a quick answer closes the sale.

One-time setup fee. Powered by Tawk.to — free subscription, no recurring costs.

Email Marketing Integration
$100$75

Your website visitors are potential customers — an email list lets you stay in front of them long after they leave your site. We connect your website to your email marketing platform, set up your subscriber list, and configure a signup form so you start building your audience from day one.

  • Mailchimp, Kit, or similar platform setup
  • Subscriber list configuration
  • Signup form designed and embedded
  • Confirmation & welcome email configured
  • Form connected to your existing contact page

One-time setup. Email marketing platform subscription handled separately.

Advanced Performance Optimization
$30/hour

Every Milestone build ships at 90%+ Lighthouse on mobile and desktop — that’s already included. This is for clients who want to push beyond that baseline. We target 92%+ on mobile and as close to 100% as the site allows on desktop. Mobile is significantly harder than desktop due to device limitations and network constraints, so 92%+ puts you ahead of the vast majority of websites on the internet.

Most optimizations complete in 1–2 hours.

Security Audit
$125$100

For websites built by someone else. Every Milestone build is already hardened — this is for clients bringing an existing site who want to know what was left unprotected. We run a full security sweep and fix what we find.

  • SQL injection & XSS vulnerability check
  • Authentication & session security review
  • Security headers audit (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options)
  • Form input validation review
  • Sensitive data exposure check

Findings report included. Hourly if remediation work is required.

Logo Design
$149 · $199 animated

A professional logo built for the web — clean, scalable, and delivered in SVG and PNG formats so it looks sharp everywhere from your website to your business cards.

  • 3 initial concepts
  • 2 rounds of revisions
  • Final files in SVG, PNG, and transparent PNG
  • Animated version available — logo comes to life on page load

Animated logos delivered as SVG animation or lightweight CSS — no heavy video files.

Stock Image Sourcing
$15 each

Finding a photo that actually fits your brand isn’t as easy as it sounds. Searching through countless websites and thousands of free-use images to land on the right one — right tone, right subject, right feel — takes time. And if it misses the mark, we have to start all over again. Every image is hand-picked to match your page, your audience, and what you’re trying to say.

Most pages need at least 2 images. Multi-page sites add up quickly.

Provide your own professional images/photos and this charge doesn’t apply.

Back-End Administrative Portal
$199

The secure foundation that powers your administrative tools. A password-protected portal where you log in to manage invoices, track income and expenses, or run any other back-end feature — built with security at every layer from day one.

  • Secure login with bcrypt password hashing
  • Session management and rate limiting
  • CSRF protection
  • Administrative shell ready for any add-on service
  • Required for the Stripe Invoice & Payment System and Income & Expense Tracker

One-time flat fee. Own it outright — no recurring costs.

Income & Expense Tracker
$349

Track every dollar in and every dollar out — no monthly subscription, no accounting platform to learn. A custom-built dashboard where you log income and expenses, see your running balance, and know exactly where the business stands. You own it outright.

  • Income and expense entry with categories
  • Running balance and summary dashboard
  • Full transaction history at a glance
  • Stripe payments auto-logged as income when paired with the Stripe Invoice & Payment System

One-time flat fee. No subscriptions, no recurring costs.

Stripe Invoice & Payment System
$249

Send professional invoices by email and get paid online. Your client receives an invoice, clicks the payment link, and pays by credit card — the money lands in your account without a single phone call.

  • Invoice creation and email delivery
  • Stripe-powered payment link — clients pay in one click
  • Automatic receipt sent after payment
  • Payment tracking so you always know what’s outstanding

One-time flat fee. A Stripe account is required (free to create). Stripe charges 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction.

Email Deliverability Setup
$100

Required when sending email from a custom domain address (e.g. info@yourbusiness.com). Without proper authentication, invoices and contact form notifications land in spam — or don’t arrive at all.

  • SPF record configured in your DNS
  • DKIM key generated and published
  • DMARC policy set
  • Delivery tested and verified before launch

Optional add-on: DNS migration to Cloudflare — faster propagation, simpler record management, and easier troubleshooting if deliverability issues come up later. No extra charge when bundled with this setup.

Not needed if sending from a Gmail address — Gmail handles deliverability natively.

Custom Web Programming
$50/hour$45/hour

Unlike a static website, a PHP/MySQL application has business logic running behind the scenes — user authentication, database queries, conditional workflows, and server-side processing. It’s programming, not page-building, and the complexity is an order of magnitude higher. Small projects — a customer login portal, an invoicing system, a quote builder, a booking tool — typically run $150–$500. Anything beyond that scope gets a full custom quote.

¹ One free hour of HTML maintenance per month ($30 value). Updates mean changes to existing content only — new pages, sections, or features are billed separately.

Pricing Questions


Still Have Questions?

Common questions about our packages, revisions, and how it all works.

Scope. The Cornerstone is a single-page scrollable site — a complete online presence in one clean layout. The Keystone adds up to 5 separate pages. The Milestone goes up to 8. Every package is built to the same standard; the only difference is how much room you have to work with.
No — but most clients choose to. Our hosting runs on a dedicated VPS, not the overcrowded shared servers most hosts put small businesses on. That means faster load times, better uptime, and a server we manage completely so you never have to think about it. You also get same-day priority support, free monthly security updates, automated backups, and 2 business email accounts included. And hosting with us saves you $200 on your build plus unlocks lower rates on every add-on. If you’d rather host independently, we’ll deploy your finished site to your provider for a one-time $60 fee.
After you review the completed site, you send us your changes in one list — that’s round one. We make every change on that list, you review again, and send any remaining tweaks — that’s round two. Changes beyond two rounds are billed at $40/hour.
Yes. Additional pages, photo galleries, live chat, analytics, custom forms — everything in our à la carte menu is available at any time, before or after launch.
Yes. Clients with a credit score of 650 or higher can finance with 1/3 down at project start and a 15% finance charge on the remaining balance — up to 12 months. Mention it when you request your quote and we’ll walk you through it.

★★★★★
"Switching to Milestone Web Design was one of the best decisions I've made for my business. My old web guy would take days just to reply — now I get updates at no extra charge — usually within a day. But the real story is what the new site has done for my business. I'm getting more calls, more quotes, and more jobs than I ever have. It's paid for itself many times over. Highly recommend."
