Small Business Website Cost: A Straight Answer
Website pricing for a small business is confusing, often on purpose — a lot of it is built to hide what you'll really pay over time. So here's a straight answer. With OKRA™, a website is a one-time cost: $399 for a custom website, $399 for an app, and $399 to rebuild an existing site, with a $100 refundable deposit to begin. You pay once, and you own it.
That first number is only half the story, though. What actually determines the cost of a small business website isn't the build fee — it's whether you're buying the site once or renting it forever.

One-Time or Every Month: Where the Real Cost Hides
The single biggest thing driving what a website costs you is the model. A subscription builder keeps charging month after month, long after the site is finished, for as long as you want to keep it online. A one-time build is paid once and then done. The monthly option can look cheaper at signup and end up costing far more over the years you actually run the business — while never becoming something you own.
What OKRA™ Charges, Plainly
No tiers designed to confuse you: a custom website is $399, an app is $399, and rebuilding an existing site or app is $399. A $100 deposit — refundable — gets it started. It's one-time, there's no subscription, and the finished code is yours, handed over with a Certificate of Ownership. That's the whole price.
What Actually Drives the Price of a Custom Site
Cost isn't arbitrary. It tracks scope — how many pages, whether you need forms or automation, how much custom work versus a stock template — and, above all, whether you walk away owning the result. A site built specifically for your business, that belongs to you, is a different thing from a rented template, and it's worth understanding which one a price actually buys.
Cheap Can Be the Most Expensive Option
The lowest upfront price often hides the highest long-run cost. A cheap monthly site you don't own keeps billing you, can't be taken with you if you leave, and frequently gets redone in a year or two when it can't keep up — meaning you pay again from scratch. Owning a solid site once is usually the more economical path for a business that plans to be around.
Pay Once, Own It
OKRA™ builds your site as a one-time custom project you own outright — no subscription, full code ownership, Certificate of Ownership at handover. The cost is what it is, up front and honest, and then it's yours.
Here's the straight version: a rebuild of a broken or dated site is a one-time $399, not a fee that quietly renews forever. If your business also needs an app, OKRA builds that as its own defined project rather than a bottomless plan. When the work is done the code belongs to you, full stop, formalized with a Certificate of Ownership, so you stop paying and start owning.
