Your website is more than a digital presence. It is the foundation your business is found on, judged on and called from. My Maine web design services cover the whole job: a custom WordPress site, built mobile first, set up to rank in local search, and looked after every month so it keeps working long after launch.
There is nothing to pay up front. Websites are a monthly plan with hosting, updates, backups, security and your edits included, so the price you see is the price you pay.

What every NorthView website includes
Every plan is built on the same foundation. These are not add-ons you discover later. They are part of every site I build and look after.
Custom WordPress design
Planned around your services, your towns and the customers you want calling. Built on WordPress, so it is yours to keep.
Built for phones first
Most local searches happen on a phone. Every page is designed for a small screen first, with a tappable phone number.
SEO groundwork from day one
Page titles, headings, schema, a submitted sitemap and Search Console are set up before launch.
Fast pages
Slow pages lose visitors before they read a word. Images, code and hosting are tuned so pages load quickly.
Built to turn visits into calls
One clear next step on every page, short forms that deliver, and proof near the ask.
Hosting, security and edits included
Hosting, SSL, updates, off-site backups, security and uptime monitoring and your edits are part of the monthly price.
Website plans and pricing
Three ways to start, depending on how your business wins work. Brochure and Growth sites are fixed monthly prices. Custom builds are scoped and quoted in writing before anything starts.
Brochure Site
For referral-led businesses with one service or a handful.
- Seven pages: your core pages plus your services
- Mobile-first, built on WordPress
- On-page SEO, analytics and Search Console set up
- Speed and Core Web Vitals tuning
- Migration from your existing site, handled
- Lead form and Google Business Profile linkup
- Hosting, updates, backups, security and your edits
Growth Site
For businesses that want work from search across services and towns.
- Everything in the Brochure Site
- Service and location pages built for local search
- Content strategy and keyword mapping
- Pages planned from keyword and competitor research
- Room to keep adding pages as you grow
Custom Website
For associations, multi-location businesses and directories.
- Scope agreed in writing, then quoted
- Member areas, directories, multi-location and integrations
- A website manager who knows your build
- Ongoing management quoted alongside the build
Brochure Site or Growth Site?
A Brochure Site suits a business that mainly needs to look credible to people who already heard about it. A Growth Site is built to bring in new work from Google, with a page for each service and each town you serve. You can start with a Brochure Site and upgrade to Growth later without rebuilding anything.
| Brochure Site | Growth Site | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly price | $175 | $275 |
| Pages | Seven: core pages plus services | Planned from keyword and competitor research, with room to keep adding |
| Service and location pages for local search | Not included | |
| Content strategy and keyword mapping | Not included | |
| On-page SEO, analytics and Search Console | ||
| Speed and Core Web Vitals tuning | ||
| Migration from your existing site | ||
| Hosting, SSL, updates, backups and security | ||
| Your edits | ||
| Upfront cost | $0 | $0 |
Nothing down and no setup fee. Twelve-month minimum, then month to month, and you own the site. Every plan, including SEO and review bundles, is on the pricing page.
Monthly plan or a one-time build?
A one-time build looks cheaper on a quote until you add hosting, updates and the hourly edits that come after it. A monthly plan spreads all of that into one price, with nothing down. Here is how the two compare over the first three years, using the typical figures from my guide to small business website costs.
What you pay over three years
Total spent, month by month, on a typical upfront build compared with a NorthView Brochure Site.
- NorthView Brochure Site, $175 a month
- Upfront build, $4,000 plus $100 a month care
Example figures. The upfront build uses the typical $4,000 build and $100 a month care from my website cost guide. On these numbers the two totals meet in the fifth year, and the Brochure Site never needs a large payment up front.
View as a table
| After | Upfront build | NorthView Brochure |
|---|---|---|
| Launch | $4,000 | $0 |
| 12 months | $5,200 | $2,100 |
| 24 months | $6,400 | $4,200 |
| 36 months | $7,600 | $6,300 |
How a website project works
Four stages, with your sign-off at each one. You are never waiting on a project manager, and you always know what happens next.
Discovery and strategy
We talk through your services, the towns you serve and the customers you want calling. You send your logo, photos of your work and a list of services. I draft the content and you fix what I got wrong.
Design and build
I design and build the site on WordPress, mobile first, with one clear next step on every page. You review it and sign off before anything goes live.
SEO and performance
Page titles, descriptions, headings, schema, a submitted sitemap and Search Console are set up, and the pages are tuned to load fast.
Launch and ongoing support
Brochure sites usually go live two to four weeks after we start. From then on, hosting, updates, backups, security and your edits are handled for you.
Why Maine businesses choose NorthView for web design
Custom web design fit to your business
No two businesses are the same, and your website should not read like everyone else’s. Your site is planned around the services you sell, the towns you serve and the customers you want calling, then written in plain language that sounds like you. If your current site is holding you back, a website redesign starts with an audit of what is working and what is not.
UX and SEO built in from the start
A good-looking website is only the beginning. Every site is built for how people actually use it and how Google actually reads it:
- Fast-loading pages that keep visitors from bouncing back to the search results.
- Mobile-first layouts with your phone number visible and tappable without scrolling.
- Clear navigation and one obvious next step on every page, so visits turn into leads.
- Search-friendly structure: page titles, headings, schema and internal links that help you rank in local search.
WordPress you own and can grow
I build on WordPress because you own it and it is portable. The design, content and images are yours, and you can edit pages yourself in the same visual editor I use, or just email me the change. As the business grows you can add pages, add services, or move from a Brochure Site to a Growth Site without starting over.
Ongoing website management and digital marketing
A website is a long-term investment, and launch day is the start of the work, not the end. Website management keeps your site updated, backed up, monitored and secure as part of the monthly price. When you are ready for more, the same person can run your SEO, reviews, Google Ads and social media.

- Review Management, $99 a month. Automated review requests by text and email, monitoring across 80+ review sites, and responses to your Google and Facebook reviews.
- Bundle either one with a website plan and it costs less than buying them separately. Every bundle is on the pricing page.
