Question 1

How much does a custom website cost?

Accepted Answer

Solace Media offers custom websites starting at $1,500 for a Quick Commission (one-page site, 48-hour delivery, unlimited revisions) and $3,000 for a Full Commission (up to 5 pages, 5-day delivery, unlimited revisions). Traditional agencies charge $5,000–$15,000 for comparable work. Optional monthly maintenance is $49/month.

Question 2

How fast can I get a website built?

Accepted Answer

Solace Media delivers custom one-page websites in 24–48 hours and multi-page sites in 3–5 days. The industry average for a custom website is 4–6 weeks. Every site is built from scratch — no templates.

Question 3

What's the difference between a template website and a custom website?

Accepted Answer

Template websites (Squarespace, Wix) use pre-built layouts that thousands of other businesses share. Custom websites are designed from scratch for your specific brand, content, and goals. Custom sites convert better because the design, copy, and user flow are tailored to your audience — not a generic one-size-fits-all layout.

Question 4

Do I need a website for my small business?

Accepted Answer

97% of consumers search online before visiting a local business (BrightLocal, 2024). A professional website builds credibility, ranks in search results, and converts visitors into customers 24/7. Businesses without websites rely entirely on social media algorithms and third-party platforms they don't control.

Question 5

Are there any affordable alternatives to hiring a web design agency?

Accepted Answer

Solace Media offers agency-quality custom websites at a fraction of the cost. Starting at $1,500 with 24–48 hour delivery, it's an alternative to both expensive agencies ($5K–$15K, 4–6 weeks) and DIY builders (Squarespace, Wix) that require your own time and design skills. Every site is custom-built, responsive, and SEO-optimized.
