A small shop, an honest price, and my full attention.
Big agencies hand you a heavy template, a junior account manager, and a surprising invoice. With Ascent you get a fast, modern site, a flat price, and one person who actually knows your project.
A typical WordPress or Wix build is slow and plugin-heavy. Your site is modern code on a global edge network, so it loads in about a second and holds up on any phone.
Most shops keep you renting their platform. Your domain is in your name and your site is plain code in a repository you own. Nothing here can be held hostage.
A complete five-page site is $500 outright, plus $30 for any extra page. No mystery invoices, no padded retainers, no agency markup. You know the full cost before we start.
Every package includes a walkthrough on running your own site, so you can change your hours, swap a photo, or post an update through a clean editor, with no developer call and no extra fee every time something small changes.

Answers before you ask.
How much does a small business website cost?
A complete five-page website is $500, paid once. Additional pages are a flat $30 each. There are no monthly retainers required and no surprise invoices, you know the full cost before any work begins.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most websites launch in about two weeks. Your part is roughly two to three hours total, spread across one discovery call, sending over a few materials, and a quick review. The rest is handled for you.
Do I own my website and domain?
Yes. Your domain is registered in your name and your website is plain code in a repository you own. Nothing is rented or locked to a proprietary platform, so you are never held hostage to keep your site online.
What makes Ascent different from a bigger web design agency?
Ascent is a one-person studio, so you work directly with me from the first call to launch, never a sales rep or a junior. You get personal attention and a fair flat price, instead of agency markup and account managers.
Can I update the website myself after it launches?
Yes. Every build includes a walkthrough on running your own site through a clean editor. You can change your hours, swap a photo, or post an update without calling a developer or paying a fee for small changes.
Where is Ascent Web Design located?
Ascent is based in Medford, Oregon and serves small businesses across Southern Oregon, the California Bay Area, and worldwide.
