A useful first answer to “How much for a website?” separates a base package, add-ons, and timeline instead of dropping a single unexplained number.
I built QuoteKit for freelancers and small studios who want to show that estimate before the discovery call. Visitors choose a package, extra pages and services, and a timeline; the indicative price updates in the browser. It is bilingual (EN/FR) static HTML/CSS/JS, with rates edited in one config file. The email button prepares a draft in the visitor’s own email app; there is no backend or automatic data collection.
Quick update: QuoteKit is now available directly on Contra at $12 USD: https://contra.com/products/57rAWFjr-quote-kit-bilingual-estimate-page-htmlcssjs . Purchases through that page include automatic access to the ZIP after payment. The Stripe link in my original post remains...
The package/add-on/timeline breakdown makes the estimator feel honest and actionable; I especially like that the number updates in-browser instead of hiding the logic. Asking which inputs make estimates useful is a smart next step for refining the flow.
I felt something was off with my own website.
Too plain. Not how I envisioned the brand.
So I added more creative touches and built a real story into it. Now everything makes sense.

That big bold wordmark with the corner brackets gives it so much more character. "A marketing site as good as your product" is a strong line too, says exactly what you do.
What happens when one website has to talk to two different people?
A client of ours teaches two audiences at once: expecting mothers who want a calm pregnancy, and women who want to become doulas. One brand, one site, two very different reasons to visit.
The usual fix is a hero that speaks to "everyone" and lands with no one. We designed it as a fork in the road instead:
1. Two doors in the hero. "I'm pregnant" and "I'm training to be a doula", side by side, equal weight. The visitor picks a path in one click, and the headline above them stays about the shared value.
2. One voice, two tones. The mothers' path is softer: fewer words, more room, gentle photos. The doula path is more structured: modules, certification, dates. Same fonts, same colors, different rhythm.
One proof section, split in two. Testimonials from mothers on the left, from doulas on the right. Each visitor sees people like them before the price.
Writing for everyone is writing for no one. Give each reader a door.
Have you ever designed a page for two audiences at once? How did you split it?
