How much does zebulon images charge for small business website setup?

Updated

zebulon images charges $35 per hour for website work, and states that the average cost to set up a new small business site is about $350. That average is the site owner's own figure for a typical small business build, so treat it as a planning estimate rather than a fixed package price — the final amount depends on how many hours your project takes. A redesign of an existing site is quoted separately.

What the website service includes

According to the site, the owner spent 15 years creating and hosting websites and now focuses on helping customers build sites with simple, inexpensive site builders (the page names WIX, Weebly, and GoDaddy as examples) or with WordPress. For the $35/hr rate, the service covers:

  • Setting up and populating a new small business site
  • Helping with a domain name if you need one
  • Turning the finished site over to you so you can update and keep it current
  • Ongoing help with updates if you prefer not to do them yourself
  • Quoting a redesign for an existing site

The stated model is build-and-hand-over: you end up with a site you can maintain yourself, with the option to pay hourly for updates later.

Who this fits

This is a reasonable option if you want a small business site built on a mainstream builder or WordPress, you're comfortable updating content yourself afterward, and you'd rather pay for a few hours of hands-on help than a large agency retainer. Because pricing is hourly, the cost scales with the scope you bring — a handful of pages and basic content will land near the $350 average, while a larger site or a redesign will cost more.

It's a weaker fit if you need a fixed-price package agreed up front, ongoing managed hosting, or a custom-built platform; the page describes builder-based and WordPress sites, not custom development.

How to get an actual number

  1. Decide what you need: a new site, a redesign, or hourly help with an existing one.
  2. Contact the business with your scope — number of pages, whether you have a domain, and whether you'll handle updates.
  3. Ask for a quote; redesigns are quoted individually, and new-site costs are estimated from the hourly rate.
  4. Confirm what's included before work starts, since the $350 figure is described as an average.

The other side of the business

zebulon images also does laser etching and laser cutting — personalized images, logos, and text on wood, polished granite, some plastics, and other materials, plus custom wood components from an on-site woodshop. Listed examples include granite pet markers in 6" x 12" and 12" x 12" sizes and wood plaques. Quotes and free samples are offered for these projects. If your interest is signage, awards, or promotional items rather than a website, that's the relevant service line.
