How To Choose a Website Package?

Creating a website is one of the most important steps in building a successful business or personal brand — but with so many options out there, how do you know where to start? One of the biggest factors to consider is your budget, but that’s just the beginning.

Here’s a guide to help you figure out what direction makes the most sense for you — whether you're doing it yourself or hiring a designer.

1. Start With Your Budget

Your budget will help determine how much support, customization, and functionality you can afford when building your website.

Under $85?

If your budget is below $85, hiring a designer likely isn’t realistic right now — but that doesn’t mean you can’t get online. The best option in this case is to build your own site using a beginner-friendly website builder like Hostinger. Using my link down below, you can save %20 on your plan.

Why Hostinger?

• Affordable pricing

• Easy drag-and-drop builder

• Built-in templates

• Free domain (with some plans)

• Hosting included

You can create a simple, clean website on your own — no coding needed — and launch something you're proud of, even on a tight budget.

Budget of $85–$300?

At this price range, you can start working with a web designer and get a custom-designed, one-page website that looks professional and works across all devices.

👉 The Basic Plan I offer starts at $85 per page, and includes:

• A custom design

• Mobile responsiveness

• A contact form

• Basic SEO

• Two rounds of revisions

This is perfect for a starter site or landing page that gives potential customers a place to learn about your services and get in touch.

Budget of $300–$600+?

With a larger budget, you can build a more complete website (typically 3–5 pages) and add tools that help you stand out in search results, build trust, and even start marketing your business.

Consider upgrading to the Standard or Premium Plan, which include:

• Google Business Profile setup

• Better SEO

• Blog formatting

• Email collection

• Ongoing updates or marketing support

More investment = more opportunity to grow and convert visitors into customers.

2. Think About Your Goals

A website isn’t just about looking good — it should work for your business. Ask yourself:

• Do you just need a place to list your services and contact info?

• Do you want to appear in local Google searches?

• Are you planning to write blogs, send emails, or sell products?

• Do you want to build your brand and grow over time?

Your answers can help you decide whether a simple one-page site is enough — or if you need a more advanced, growth-oriented setup.

3. Consider Your Time & Skills

Even the best website builder takes time to learn. If you're busy running your business or not confident in your design skills, it may be worth investing in a designer to do it right — so you can focus on what you do best.

If you do go the DIY route, make sure you:

• Choose a clean, mobile-friendly template

• Use consistent colors and fonts

• Keep your content clear and focused

• Include a call-to-action (what you want visitors to do!)
