Direct answers before a sales call.

Presence is $900, Booking is $1,500, and Storefront starts at $2,500. Each package page states the included scope and the items that need separate pricing.

The payment schedule is stated in the proposal before work begins. I do not hide payment timing until after a client agrees to the project.

The estimator currently uses $150 for each page beyond the package allowance and $350 for copywriting help when your content is not ready. Platform fees and unusual migration work are separate.

Only an approved scope change should change the price. I describe the addition and its cost in writing before doing work outside the agreement.

The planning ranges are 3 to 5 business days for Presence, 5 to 7 business days for Booking, and 7 to 14 business days for Storefront. The start date and review pace still matter.

Start with the free audit or a direct email. I use that context to discuss fit, then put the agreed pages, features, responsibilities, price, and timing in writing.

The client supplies accurate business facts, prices, hours, policies, photos, and approvals. I shape the page structure and edit core copy within the written scope.

The proposal states the review points and included revision scope. I collect changes against a working preview so decisions stay attached to the page being reviewed.

I will identify the affected milestone and confirm a revised schedule. I do not publish incomplete or unapproved business information to preserve an old date.

You own the client account, domain, and business content identified in the agreement. The agreement also identifies any reusable design system code or licensed platform material.

That depends on the selected platform. Hosting cost, account ownership, renewal responsibility, and access are documented before launch.

The client should control the domain account. I can help connect it, but launch includes confirming owner access and renewal details.

Your business accounts and editable content remain accessible according to the agreement and platform terms. The handoff records access, recurring costs, and practical next steps.

I build on Astro, Shopify and WordPress as coded sites, and I design a custom skin on Squarespace or Webflow. Shopify is the one I reach for when you are selling products. The platforms page lists what each one costs to run and the honest trade-off on each, and my price is the same whichever you pick.

Yes. The handoff covers the routine content the owner is expected to manage, including the relevant account access and editing path.

No ongoing service is assumed unless it appears in the agreement. Platform subscriptions and required renewals still continue with their providers.

Send the page, device, and steps that produced the problem. I will separate a build defect from a platform change, expired service, or new request before quoting any work.

Yes. Copy, prices, hours, photos, services, and similar business content stay owner-editable where the selected platform supports them.

The build is checked against current performance and accessibility requirements before launch. Later content, apps, and platform changes can affect those results and need periodic review.

Joseph is the owner and your direct contact at Upstream Web Designs. The site does not present a larger agency team that is not there.

The current packages fit focused business sites, appointment paths, online storefronts, and evidence-based redesigns with an owner ready to supply accurate content.

The studio is based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Email the project context and location so I can confirm whether the working arrangement is a practical fit.

The audit gives both sides a concrete website problem to discuss. You can keep the review and make the changes yourself without committing to a project.

I do not publish manufactured reviews or imply client proof that has not been verified. The work page labels operating proof and self-initiated concepts separately.
