“A website in seven days” shouldn’t mean an undefined fixed price.
I price the week by scope:
• $4,500 — launch site: up to 5 pages, form or booking flow, responsive build, basic SEO/analytics, and deployment • $6,500 — growth site: up to 8 pages, CMS, richer forms, one integration, and launch QA • $9,000 — focused AI site/MVP: up to 6 app screens, auth/data setup, one bounded AI workflow, one integration, and acceptance testing
The clock starts when the brief, content, assets, and client-controlled access are ready. If the scope is larger or unclear, it begins with a $750 diagnostic instead of an unrealistic promise.

The readiness line matters as much as the price. Starting the clock only after the brief, content, assets, and client access are ready keeps a seven-day promise from turning into unpaid waiting.

Exactly—readiness is the boundary that makes a seven-day promise honest. I use a Day 0 checklist so missing inputs are visible before the clock starts, then the week stays focused on delivery instead of chasing content or access.
