Websites for Denver-area small businesses
Ridgewright Studio designs and builds websites for local businesses on the Front Range. One price, paid once. You own the design, the code and the domain outright the day it launches. No monthly contract, no care plan you have to keep paying for. If you'd rather not think about hosting, there's an optional $59 a month plan that handles it.
Pricing
Every site is custom designed, written with you, built to load fast on a phone, and handed over with everything you need to run it. Half is due at kickoff, half at launch.
Single-location shops, salons, trades and anyone who needs a clean 5-page site that works on a phone.
Most shops, salons and trades
Restaurants with menus, clinics, contractors. For businesses that change their content often and want forms that bring in work.
Restaurants, clinics, contractors
Multi-location or busier businesses that need integrations, more pages and a site built to rank.
Multi-location and high-traffic businesses
Compare all three example sites side by side. Prices are fixed in writing before we start. Need more pages? $150 each, quoted up front.
In every build
A one-time price only works if you can actually run the site afterwards. So the handoff is part of the product, not an afterthought.
Plain, fast, modern code with no platform fees and nothing that expires. Any web developer can pick it up later; so can you.
Domain, hosting and form inbox are set up in accounts you control. We never hold your keys.
Free SSL, global hosting, images optimized, and no plugins to patch. Static sites don't get hacked the way WordPress sites do.
Page titles, descriptions, structured data and your Google Business Profile all set up so you show up on the map when people search nearby.
Clear type, strong contrast and big tap targets, so hours, the menu and the phone number are easy to find on any phone.
A one-page edit guide, a recorded walkthrough, and logins to everything. Plus a warranty: anything broken in the first 30 to 90 days is fixed free.
After launch
There is no required monthly plan. Host it yourself for free, or let us keep it running for $59 a month. Either way, changes are priced per request so you only pay when you need something.
We deploy the site to a free hosting account in your name and walk you through it. Your only ongoing cost is your domain, about $15 a year.
Best if you or someone on your team is comfortable logging into a dashboard a few times a year.
Hosting, monitoring and backups handled by us, with no human time you have to schedule. Cancel anytime; the site is already yours, so we just hand over the files.
Best if you never want to see a hosting dashboard. The plan keeps your site online; fixes and changes are priced per request.
Send a note. Published prices, no retainer. We take on requests as our schedule allows and confirm by email first; accepted requests are done within five business days. Because you own the site and every login, any developer can work on it too.
| Request | What it covers | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Change | Update something already on the site: text, prices, hours, a photo, a holiday notice | $60 ($50 on hosting) |
| Change pack | Five changes to use any time in 12 months | $250 |
| Addition | Something new within the existing design: a section, gallery, form field, FAQ | $150 |
| New page | A new page designed and written to match your site | $300 |
| Project | Redesigns, integrations, online ordering. Quoted in writing before we start | $125 / hour, quoted |
| Fixes | Anything broken that we built | Free during warranty, then $60 |
How it works
Tell us about the business. We send a homepage mockup built for you before you pay anything or sign anything.
Choose Essentials, Growth or Premier. We send a two-page agreement with the fixed price and the page list, and you pay half to start.
We write, design and build. You review on a private link and send revisions. Most sites are ready in 10 to 15 business days.
We go live on your domain, connect your Google profile, hand over the accounts and the guide, and you pay the second half. It's yours.
Questions
Yes. When the final payment clears, the design, code, content and all the accounts are yours. There's no license, no lock-in and nothing that stops working if you never talk to us again. If you move to another developer later, they get clean, standard files.
Most website subscriptions bundle hosting that costs a few dollars with "unlimited updates" most businesses rarely use, then charge $150 to $300 a month forever. We'd rather build you something solid, hand it over, and charge only when you actually need something. If you want hosting handled, that's $59 a month and you can cancel anytime.
Yes, on every tier. On Essentials, your menu and hours live in a Google Sheet: change a price or mark a dish sold out from your phone and the website updates within minutes. On Growth and Premier, the menu syncs straight from your Toast, Square or Clover, so you change it once at the register and the website follows within about 15 minutes. If your POS ever stops answering, the site switches on its own to a backup copy of the menu in your Google Sheet, so it never goes blank, and switches back when the POS returns. (Toast sync needs Toast's RMS Essentials plan or higher; on Toast's basic plan we use the spreadsheet instead.) Photos and new pages are a quick change request.
Anything we built that stops working is fixed free during the warranty (30, 60 or 90 days by tier). After that, you can request a fix as a $60 change, or have any developer handle it, since you own the site and hold every login. Because the site is static, with no database or plugins, there's very little that can break on its own.
Through systems you already own. Reservation requests go to your email or phone, or we embed your OpenTable, Resy, Tock or Toast Tables widget so guests book real open times. Online orders use your Toast, Square or Clover ordering: they print in your kitchen and the money goes straight to your merchant account. We never handle your payments. No point-of-sale ordering yet? We'll set up Square Online, which has a free plan.
Hosting with SSL on a global network, uptime monitoring with alerts, backups of your site files, your form inbox, domain renewal reminders, a one-page report every month (how many people visited, viewed your menu, tapped to call or order, and whether the site stayed up), and $10 off every change request. It keeps the site online; it doesn't include fixes or changes, which are priced per request. It's for owners who never want to log into a hosting dashboard.
Half of the fixed price at kickoff, half at launch, by card or bank transfer. The price is written into the agreement and doesn't change unless you add pages or scope, which we quote first. Prefer a payment plan? Ask; we can split the build across three months for a small fee.
