Websites & Managed Hosting

Websites built to explain the business, earn trust, and remain understandable to operate.

Timelines are planning ranges, not guarantees. Work begins after the required access, content, approvals, and initial payment are available. Provider delays, platform reviews, missing assets, scope changes, and client response time can extend the calendar.

First useful step

Send the current website or system, the business context, what is happening, and what matters most. Boho will review the visible situation and identify the smallest useful next step. A submitted inquiry is not an accepted project, quote, emergency response, or guarantee of availability.

This is a fit when

  • The business needs a clearer offer, stronger service pages, better mobile behavior, or a more useful customer path.

Start somewhere else when

  • The current website has a sound foundation and one focused improvement would solve the visible problem.

  • Substantial redesign or migration: usually 6–12 weeks. Large content inventories, custom integrations, provider dependencies, or delayed approvals may require more time.
  • Post-launch verification: normally 7–14 days for the checks stated in the project scope. This observation period is not a promise that every third-party system will process the launch within that time.

What Boho needs from you

Accurate business, service, product, location, and pricing information

What changes the price

Not every website qualifies for the starting price. Pricing increases with page count, unique templates, content work, service or location complexity, forms, integrations, ecommerce, customer accounts, migration, redirects, technical damage, accessibility requirements, approvals, and accelerated delivery.

Example deliverable

Approved sitemap and page plan

Standard managed hosting may be included at no separate hosting charge for an eligible website while the qualifying service relationship remains active and in good standing. Eligibility, platform limits, third-party costs, support boundaries, ownership, and exit handling are defined in the project agreement. This is not a promise of unlimited infrastructure or unlimited support.

A business website has a job.

It should explain what the business does, who it helps, where it works, why someone should trust it, and what the visitor should do next.

It should also behave like a durable business asset. It should work on mobile devices, remain readable at increased zoom, support , load efficiently, send inquiries to the right place, preserve important records, and avoid trapping the business inside an arrangement nobody understands.

Visual quality matters. A distinctive website can communicate confidence before a visitor reads a paragraph. But design must support the business. A beautiful page that hides the service, buries the contact path, or collapses on a phone is still a failed tool.

Choose the right level of work

Focused Website Improvement

A focused improvement is appropriate when the current website has a sound enough foundation to keep.

The project may address one to three high-value problems, such as:

  • An unclear homepage or
  • A weak contact or booking path
  • Mobile usability problems
  • Accessibility barriers
  • Performance issues
  • Broken
  • Confusing navigation
  • Search and crawl problems
  • Missing trust or ownership information
  • A high-value page that does not support the customer decision

Starting price: $750

New Website

A new website is appropriate for a new business, a new offer, a major repositioning, or a current system that cannot reasonably be preserved.

The work may include business and audience definition, planning, page structure, content support, visual design, responsive implementation, forms, search foundations, readiness, launch verification, and handoff.

Starting price: $1,500

Substantial Website Redesign

A redesign is appropriate when the current website no longer supports the business because of its structure, content, visual system, , technical condition, customer path, ownership, or maintainability.

A redesign should preserve useful content, , search value, forms, data, and brand assets where appropriate. “New” is not automatically better than “understood.”

Starting price: $1,500

Rescue + Redesign

A Rescue + Redesign combines provider exit, ownership and access work, migration planning, preservation, and a replacement website.

This path is appropriate when the business needs to leave a provider and the existing website is too fragile, unclear, expensive, or technically unsound to preserve as the long-term system.

Starting price: Determined through a specific quote using the website and migration scopes.

This service is a good fit when

  • The website is unclear, dated, slow, inaccessible, or difficult to use on mobile devices.
  • Important services, products, locations, or are buried.
  • The site no longer represents the business accurately.
  • The business needs a professional website but does not need an oversized custom application.
  • The current platform or provider makes ordinary changes unnecessarily difficult.
  • The business wants clearer ownership, , access, and handoff terms.
  • A redesign or launch needs search, redirect, analytics, and form considerations included from the beginning.
  • The business is willing to provide accurate information, review drafts, and make decisions.

This service may not be the right fit when

  • The request depends on copying a competitor’s design or content.
  • The business wants fabricated testimonials, projects, reviews, credentials, team members, or performance claims.
  • The project requires regulated, high-risk, payment, medical, financial, or security functions that have not received appropriate specialist review.
  • The desired budget cannot support a complete, functional, responsible version of the requested system.
  • Nobody is authorized to approve content, ownership, access, or launch decisions.
  • The project requires a large custom application better handled as a separately scoped custom system.

What Boho designs around

The offer

A visitor should understand what the business sells, which services or products matter most, and what makes the offer relevant without excavating the navigation.

The customer

The structure, language, proof, questions, and should match what the intended customer needs before acting.

The market

Service, location, category, and educational pages should reflect the real market rather than a generic template or a pile of variations.

Trust

The website should use real process, ownership, policies, operator information, examples, reviews, credentials, guarantees, and results only where they are accurate and supportable.

Customer action

Calls, forms, quote requests, booking paths, purchases, directions, and other valuable actions should be obvious, usable, and routed correctly.

The website process

1. Review the current business and website

Boho reviews the public website, business model, services or products, market, customer actions, current provider, visible technical condition, and available content.

2. Decide whether to repair, redesign, or rebuild

The recommendation should identify the smallest complete scope reasonably capable of meaningful improvement. A full redesign should not be recommended merely because redesign work is easier to sell than careful repair.

3. Map the structure

Boho defines the sitemap, page roles, customer paths, content responsibilities, internal relationships, and the information required for approval.

4. Design and build

The visual system and page structures are developed around the approved business requirements. Work proceeds iteratively with client review at defined decision points.

5. Verify and launch

Boho checks the approved pages, mobile behavior, forms, primary actions, links, where applicable, metadata, deployment, and other agreed launch conditions.

6. Document and hand off

The final record explains the affected systems, verified ownership, providers, accounts, completed work, relevant access guidance, recurring costs, maintenance needs, open risks, and recommended next steps.

Where usable analytics data exists, the handoff may include an initial . Where it does not, Boho provides measurement-readiness guidance rather than fabricating history.

Pricing

Initial public website review: Free

Focused Website Improvement: Starting at $750

New Website: Starting at $1,500

Substantial Website Redesign: Starting at $1,500

The $750 starting improvement applies to a bounded project addressing a small number of priority problems while the existing website remains in place.

The $1,500 starting website or redesign applies to the smallest complete scope, generally a simple one-to-five-page public website with one primary customer action, limited templates, client-supplied or lightly edited content, standard responsive implementation, basic accessibility treatment, search foundations, a simple contact path, launch checks, and basic handoff documentation.

Not every website qualifies for the starting price. Pricing increases with page count, unique templates, content work, service or location complexity, forms, , ecommerce, customer accounts, migration, redirects, technical damage, accessibility requirements, approvals, and accelerated delivery.

See the detailed Pricing & Scope Guide

When an eligible paid website-planning or redesign review leads to a qualifying , substantial redesign, or focused implementation project in the same category, Boho credits 100% of the eligible one-time review fee toward the larger engagement, subject to the published credit conditions.

The credit normally requires full payment of the review, substantially the same business and website, acceptance within 90 days, and research that remains materially usable. It has no cash value and does not apply to third-party costs, priority premiums, recurring hosting, or unrelated work.

Pricing notice

Public prices are general planning guidance in U.S. dollars, not quotes, binding offers, warranties, or commitments. Starting prices apply only to the smallest complete scope described. Final scope, price, timing, deliverables, exclusions, dependencies, ownership, licensing, support, service levels, and third-party costs are determined only through a specific written engagement.

Hosting, email, ownership, and exit

Hosting

Eligible websites may be hosted at no separate Boho service charge while a qualifying implementation retainer remains active, current, and in good standing.

Project and reporting-only clients may purchase eligible standalone hosting or managed website operations separately.

Email

A proposal may include a defined business email service. Depending on the scope, that may mean custom-domain routing, aliases, forwarding, transactional website messages, stored mailboxes, domain , migration, filtering, or administration.

“Included email” does not automatically mean every email function. The proposal must state the provider, mailbox or routing scope, storage, sending limits, retention, support, third-party licenses, and exit treatment.

Ownership

Boho generally prefers client ownership of durable business assets, including domains, major platform accounts, analytics properties, , approved content, and project deliverables, subject to any disclosed platform or licensing limits.

The final handoff should explain:

  • What the client owns
  • What Boho manages
  • Which providers are involved
  • Which recurring costs exist
  • How the website is deployed
  • How forms and analytics operate
  • What maintenance is required
  • What happens when hosting, maintenance, or the client relationship ends

  • Ownership and handoff examples
  • Public tools
  • Build notes
  • Changelogs and limitations

Concepts are labeled as concepts. Owned properties are labeled as owned. Neither is presented as a client case study or a guarantee of commercial results.

Questions before scope

Frequently asked questions

Clear boundaries make the next decision easier.

Can you really build a website starting at $1,500?

Yes, when the project fits the stated minimum scope: a small public website, limited pages and templates, straightforward functionality, prepared business information, client-supplied or lightly edited content, and no major migration, ecommerce, or custom integration. Larger or more complicated projects receive a different quote.

How do I know whether I need a redesign or a focused repair?

The free initial review is designed to help make that decision. Boho should recommend repair when the existing structure, platform, content, and ownership remain useful. A redesign is appropriate when preserving the current system would retain the same underlying problems or cost more than replacing it responsibly.

Is copywriting included?

Only when the written scope says so. The minimum website assumes client-supplied or lightly edited content. Boho may separately scope page planning, editing, copy development, research, or content migration.

Is SEO included in a website project?

A responsible website build should include basic search foundations such as structure, metadata fields, , redirects when required, useful headings, and measurement readiness. Ongoing , content development, market research, and ranking improvement are separate unless expressly included.

Do you build ecommerce websites?

Boho may accept ecommerce or payment-enabled work after reviewing the catalog, checkout, tax, shipping, payment, account, transaction-email, data, security, platform, and support requirements. Ecommerce does not qualify for the $1,500 minimum.

Which platform will you use?

The platform depends on the business, editing needs, functionality, ownership, performance, integrations, budget, and long-term operating requirements. The proposal should identify the platform and explain the reason for the recommendation.

Will the website be accessible?

Boho designs and tests toward accessible use and the stated project standard, but no provider should casually claim universal or permanent compliance across every page, device, , , third-party component, or future content change. Any formal certification or specialist legal review must be separately scoped.

Is hosting included?

It may be included with a qualifying implementation retainer when the proposal expressly says so. Otherwise, eligible hosting is separately scoped.

Is business email included?

A defined email service may be included when stated in the proposal. The proposal must distinguish routing, aliases, transactional messages, and stored mailboxes, together with provider costs and limits.

Will I own the website?

Ownership and licensing depend on the platform, third-party components, and written agreement. Boho generally prefers client ownership of durable assets and documents any limits before work begins.

How long will the project take?

The specific quote states the schedule. A small site with approved content and one decision-maker can move more quickly than a content-heavy, migration-heavy, ecommerce, or multi-stakeholder project. Client access, content, approvals, and provider cooperation affect timing.

What happens after launch?

The client receives documentation and handoff. Ongoing SEO, hosting, managed website operations, content, and later improvements may continue under a separate approved scope. Clients who do not continue monthly may receive practical maintenance and DIY guidance appropriate to the project.
