Website design & development
A website that brings in customers.
We design it, write it and build it, so it says what you do in plain words, loads quickly and can be found on Google. Then you can edit it yourself.
How much does a website cost with Bytecrest?
Websites start at $4,900 as a fixed price. That covers custom design, copywriting for every page, the build, technical SEO and 30 days of free fixes. A larger site, more custom features or an online shop with many products costs more. You get the exact number in writing after a free 20-minute call.

What changes when one team writes, designs and builds your site

Written for buyers
Copy that answers what people ask before they book, not a list of buzzwords.
- ◐
Built for speed
Static pages served from a global edge network, so there is no slow server to wait for. You can test any page for free on Google PageSpeed Insights.

How it works, stage by stage
We write before we design, because words decide the layout. Each stage ends with your sign-off.
Map it
A free 20-minute call about who you sell to and what they ask before they buy. Then a page plan and a fixed price in writing.
Write it
We draft every page in plain words, and you mark it up like a document. Agreeing on the words is usually the slowest part, so we do it first.
Design it
Mubashir designs the pages around the words, for desktop and mobile. You review them and ask for changes before anything is built.
Launch it
Sajid builds the site, connects your domain and analytics, sets up redirects and checks it in Search Console. We record a short walkthrough so you can edit it yourself.
What a $4.9k starting price covers
The starting price is for a complete marketing site. Here is what is inside it and what moves it up.
In the base price
- Custom design for desktop and mobile
- Copywriting for every page
- The build, domain set-up and analytics
- Technical SEO and a simple way to edit text and pages
- Launch ad set and 30 days of free fixes
What adds cost
- More pages
- Each extra page needs its own words and design. A ten-page site costs more than a five-page one.
- Custom features
- Booking, quote forms, member areas or calculators need extra build time.
- A large shop
- An online store with thousands of products is outside what we take on.
- Ongoing content and ads
- AI ads and growth is a separate monthly plan from $2,500 a month.
Not in the price: your domain name and any paid tools you choose to connect. Hosting on Cloudflare or Vercel is usually small for a marketing site. See the full cost breakdown.
How to choose: freelancer, studio or agency
For a website the biggest risk is mismatch: a designer who has not read the copy, or copy written after the layout is fixed. One team avoids both.
A freelancer
Lowest price, and fine for a simple site. The risk is the hand-off: design from one person, copy from another, a developer from a third, and nobody owns the speed or search setup.
Good if the site is small and you can write the copy.
A studio like Bytecrest
One team writes the copy, designs the pages and builds them together, then checks speed and search basics before launch. You get a fixed price and one contact.
Good if you want a site that is ready to sell, not just to look at.
An agency
Brand strategy, campaigns and content on top of the site, priced for companies with a marketing budget. More than a startup site usually needs.
Good if the site is part of a wider brand project.
Who this is for, and who it isn’t
We’re a good fit if
- You’re launching a product or a service and need leads
- Your current site is slow, dated or says too little
- You want design, words and build from one team
We’re probably not if
- You need a large online store with thousands of products
- You want a template filled in for a few hundred dollars

Yes. We set up simple editing for text, images and new pages, and record a short walkthrough video for you.
Q. Do you do SEO?
Every site ships with technical SEO done properly: fast pages, clean URLs, titles, schema markup, a sitemap and Search Console. Ongoing content and ads are a separate monthly plan from $2,500 a month.
