Service Pricing

Honest pricing for real work.

Straightforward rates for Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri businesses. No surprise invoices, no vague estimates — just clear scope and fair pricing for the work your site actually needs.

How pricing works

Fixed packages and hourly support.

Most projects use a fixed-scope package — you know exactly what you'll pay before work begins. Ongoing support and maintenance is available by the month or hour for clients who want continued help after launch.

Frequently asked

Pricing questions answered.

Do you require contracts or long-term commitments?

No. One-time projects are scoped and billed on completion. Monthly maintenance and SEO plans are month-to-month — cancel anytime with 30 days notice.

Are these rates specific to Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri?

Yes. Pricing reflects the rural Midwest market — fair rates for small businesses, farms, food operations, nonprofits, and local service companies in IA, IL, and MO. Not metro agency rates.

What's included in "one-time" projects?

The quoted price covers design, development, setup, testing, and a set revision window. Post-launch changes beyond that scope are billed hourly or through a maintenance plan.

How do I pay?

Invoices are sent through the JIJ client portal and paid via Stripe — credit card, debit card, or ACH. Deposits are typically 50% upfront for project work.

Can you work on a site you didn't build?

Yes. As long as the site runs on a platform JIJ supports (WordPress, custom PHP, cPanel hosting), we can help with fixes, updates, migration, maintenance, or a full redesign.

Is hosting included in website project pricing?

Hosting is billed separately on a monthly or annual plan. Most clients add a JIJ Starter or Business hosting plan alongside a website project. See the hosting plans →
