Cloud Nine Labs | Custom Websites, Software & AI Since 2001

Q: What does a small business website cost?

Most small business websites land somewhere between free and $100,000, depending on what you need. Cost is driven by the number of pages and how much custom design and development is involved, whether you need custom content, whether you need a content management system or a static site, integrations and special features, how fast you need it live, and whether you want to be the brand that AI recommends. Contact us for your number.

Q: Do I own my website?

Yes, 100%. When we build it, it is yours. We can host and support it for you, or hand you the files to take wherever you like. No hostage situations, no fine print.

Q: Can you help my business get recommended by AI like ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Yes. It is called AEO, Answer Engine Optimization, and it is how you become the brand AI suggests when someone asks for a recommendation. We structure your site and content so AI engines can read it, trust it, and quote it.

Q: Can you fix or redesign my existing website?

Absolutely. We will scan what you have, tell you straight what is working and what is quietly costing you customers, then rebuild it right.

Do not take our word for it. Take theirs.

We had a meeting with the City last week, the Specialist said “I looked you guys up yesterday and saw that you have an awesome and legit web-site”. As of today, we have doubled our business in just 15 months.

Frequently asked questions.

What does a small business website cost?

Straight answer: most small business websites land somewhere between free and $100,000, depending on what you need. Here is what moves the number:

How many pages, and how much custom design and development
Whether you need custom content, or you will write it yourself
Whether you need a content management system, or a static site is fine
Integrations, bookings, and any special features
How fast you need it live
Whether you want to be the brand that AI recommends

No mystery quotes. No runaround. Want your number? Contact us and we will set up a time to walk you through it.

How long does it take to build a website?

A simple site can be up in a week or two. Custom builds start around six weeks and go up from there depending on size and complexity. We give you a real timeline before we start.

Do I own my website?

Yes. 100%. When we build it, it is yours. We can host and support it for you, or hand you the files to take wherever you like. No hostage situations, no fine print.

What does hosting and maintenance cost?

It depends on your site, but our hosting and care plans start at a low, flat monthly rate. That covers hosting, security, backups, updates, and a real human when you need one. Prefer to host your static site yourself? You can do that too. Your call.

Should my website be static or on a content management system?

Static sites are faster, cheaper, and more secure, and for a lot of small businesses they are all you need. If you plan to update content often, like a busy blog or a large, changing site, a content management system makes sense. We will tell you honestly which one fits, instead of upselling you into something you do not need.

Can you help my business get recommended by AI like ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Yes, and it is one of our favorite things to work on right now. It is called AEO, Answer Engine Optimization, and it is how you become the brand AI suggests when someone asks it for a recommendation. We structure your site and content so the AI engines can read it, trust it, and quote it. The smart move is to get in early, while your competitors are still figuring it out.

Do you write the content, or do I?

Either way works. For a free website, you provide the words and images. On paid projects, we can write all of it for you, brand voice and all, or tag-team it with you. You will never be stuck staring at a blank page alone.

Can you fix or redesign my existing website?

Absolutely. Rescuing tired, slow, or just plain boring websites is kind of our thing. We will scan what you have, tell you straight what is working and what is quietly costing you customers, then rebuild it RIGHT.
