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.
The editable source template is $12 USD, with the ZIP delivered by email within 24 hours of purchase: https://buy.stripe.com/6oU4gA6SE9KPawh7hu4gg00
If you quote small websites, what input would make an estimator actually useful for your process?
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.

30+ pages, 3 weeks, and honestly one of my favorite projects in a while.
I'd been wanting to design something more tech-driven for a long time, and Gryd, a platform turning construction permit data into intelligence for insurers, lenders, and real estate teams, was exactly that.
Wireframes first, then UI across every page, fully responsive, with animation on the key screens, all built inside the brand the client had already set.
Case study's on my profile.
Clean design 😍
Most luxury eyewear brands sell frames. Very few sell the feeling of putting them on.
Orelux was designed to close that gap. Not just with product shots but with a world. Editorial campaign photography of real people wearing real confidence. A hero that says "See the World in Style" and means it before you scroll once.
The home screen sets the tone full-bleed lifestyle imagery, an in-app try-on preview, and an "Explore Collection" CTA that earns the click.
Three sections. Every reason to buy answered before the question is asked.
This is what luxury e-commerce looks like when the design respects the product as much as the person wearing it.
Does this feel like an eyewear website that converts browsers into buyers? 👇

This happens to me pretty often…
A client asks for a more modern website.
At first, it sounds like a visual problem. But once I look beneath the interface, I may find that:
→ The offer is difficult to understand.
→ The strongest proof is buried.
→ The navigation reflects the company, not the user.
→ The CTA appears before enough confidence has been built.
At that point, changing the layout won’t solve the actual problem.
The work becomes defining what users need to understand, what will make them trust the business, and what should help them take the next step.
The brief says redesign.
The project says strategy.
Fellow designers: what’s the most common problem you discover hiding behind a redesign request?
Always bad positioning disguised as a visual problem. Clients think they need new UI when they really need clear messaging and proof.
