You already have a website
Keep the name. Keep the photos. Move the rest.
Switching does not mean starting over. The business name, the words and the pictures are yours and they come with you. The site gets rebuilt to work on a phone, the domain transfers into your own account, and you end up holding the files.
What a website costs around here
No survey, no average — just the three bands a Dayton owner actually lands in.
- ~$20–40/moA builder you run yourself. Cheap, and every change is your evening.
- ~$100–300/moA local shop or a freelancer on retainer. The common band around here.
- $300+/moAn agency bundle — a site, plus “SEO”.
That middle band is rent on a site that should already be yours.
$39 a month, or $399 a year. The domain transfers. You own the files.
What moving actually involves
- 01You send me the address. I read the site and tell you what is worth keeping.
- 02I rebuild it phone-first — same name, same words, same photographs, laid out so it reads on the device people open it on.
- 03The domain transfers. You are the registered owner. Nothing goes dark while it moves.
- 04You get the files. Whatever happens later, the site is a folder you have a copy of.
No transfer-out fee, ever. If you leave, you leave with the domain and the site.
