Starting Investment
Fit the scope to the investment while keeping the tradeoffs clear.
QDS investment reflects the business condition, connected scope, content, integrations, interaction complexity, risk, accessibility, migration, stakeholders, testing, ownership, and support.
Website figures are typical project ranges rather than rigid checkout prices. Final scope, timing, and investment are confirmed through a conversation.
Refresh / Realignment
$2,500–$5,000 — Focused correction, modernization, messaging, UX, or brand alignment for an existing site.
Small-Business Rebuild
$5,000–$9,500 — A full-site rebuild with strategy, responsive design, conversion structure, SEO foundations, analytics, forms, and content architecture.
Strategic Corporate / Business-System Website
$9,500–$15,000 — Deeper UX architecture, stakeholder complexity, integrations, workflows, structured proof, and governance.
Advanced Interactive Website
$15,000–$25,000+ — Guided storytelling, custom visualization, advanced media, application-like behavior, or significant interaction engineering.
Complex Multi-Property / Web-App Systems
Generally $20,000+ — Custom scope for connected properties, portals, web applications, and substantial engineering complexity.
Scope and tradeoffs
QDS adjusts scope to fit an investment level instead of quietly promising more work than the budget can support. A smaller budget may mean a smaller phase, narrower implementation, or staged roadmap.
