Website Cost FAQ
How much does a custom website cost?+
A custom small business website on DCS starts at $75/mo (Starter plan) and includes design, hosting, SSL, custom domain, SEO optimization, and monthly AI-assisted content updates. Adding online booking and payments raises it to $200/mo (Professional). Adding kiosk check-in and digital waivers raises it to $249/mo (Business). There are no setup fees and no annual contracts — your real cost depends on which features you actually need.
How accurate is this calculator?+
The calculator reflects published DCS plan pricing and the most common feature add-ons. The recommended plan is the lowest tier that supports every feature you have selected. Final pricing is confirmed in your quote and may vary for unusual requirements (large catalogs, custom integrations, multi-region hosting, etc).
Why is there no upfront design or setup fee?+
Design and build are part of your subscription. We use a custom-design pipeline (not a template) but amortize the build cost across the first months of your plan. There is no $5,000 invoice up front, and no annual contract that locks you in if it does not work out.
How is this cheaper than building it on WordPress or Squarespace?+
A DIY WordPress or Squarespace site looks cheap on the homepage ($15-$40/mo) but realistic costs add up: premium themes ($50-$200), booking plugins ($20-$80/mo), payment processing surcharges ($30-$100/mo), SEO tools ($30-$100/mo), security monitoring ($10-$50/mo), and your own time keeping plugins patched. Most small businesses end up at $150-$400/mo across tools — plus hours of their own time. DCS bundles all of it for one predictable monthly price.
What about transaction fees on payments?+
If you collect payments, the all-in fee is 3.9% + $0.30 per transaction (Stripe processing 2.9% + $0.30 plus a 1% platform fee). No monthly minimums, no statement fees, no PCI surcharges. Funds settle to your own Stripe account on your normal Stripe payout schedule.
Can I get an exact quote without filling out a long form?+
Yes. Use the calculator above to get a number, then click Get a Custom Quote. Your estimate and breakdown are pre-filled into the contact form so the conversation can start at "is this number right" rather than at "tell us about your business".
