Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is included in your web design pricing, and are there recurring costs?

    Every build is a one-time, project-based price. No monthly contract is required to get a website. Each package on this page lists exactly what's included and what isn't.


    Recurring annual costs are cloud hosting, your domain registration, and any licensed photography or video.


    Monthly maintenance (from $800 a month) and local SEO (from $1,100 a month) are optional too, and both are priced on this page.

  • How does the payment schedule work?

    Every website build is billed by project phase, so you always know what triggers an invoice.


    10% holding deposit: due only when you book ahead. It locks your start date and is credited toward Phase 1.


    60% at Phase 1: due when the project begins (50% if you paid the holding deposit).


    25% at Phase 3: due when we move into build.


    15% at Phase 4: due 15 days before launch. The site goes live once it clears.


    Rush projects are the exception: they're paid in full up front.


    The Recruit Package is the other exception: it's paid in full before work begins. If you book ahead, a 10% holding deposit locks your date, and the balance is due at the start.


    Payment is by major credit card, and a 3% card fee applies to each payment. Texas sales tax is added where it applies.


    Black Anchor Design is an independent shop, so I don't offer in-house financing or long monthly payment plans. If you need to spread the cost, PayPal's Buy Now, Pay Later is available at checkout, and their terms apply.

  • Do you offer discounts or incentives for paying upfront?

    Yes, two kinds. They can't be combined, and both run through December 31, 2026.


    Paid-in-full discount. Pay 100% at contract signing and take 5% off The Commander, 8% off The Captain and The Master Chief Diver, or 10% off The Vice Admiral and The Fleet Admiral. You also get first pick of the next open start date, and onboarding starts within 3 business days: agreements, access, and your kickoff call. Your build begins on your reserved date.


    Service discount. 15% off for active military, veterans, law enforcement, and first responders. Verify through ID.me, show your ID on our call, or send a copy of your paperwork. No upfront payment is required: the 15% is deducted from the project price, and the standard payment schedule applies. 


    For rush projects, the paid-in-full discount doesn't apply because full payment is already required. The 15% service discount still applies to the project price, not the rush fee.


    The Recruit Package is a flat fee, and no discounts apply, including the paid-in-full and service discounts.

  • Who actually builds my site? Do you outsource or use offshore teams?

    I do. The person you talk to on the first call is the person who writes your strategy, designs your pages, builds the site, and answers your emails after launch.


    That matters more than it sounds. Most of what goes wrong on a website project happens in the gaps — the designer who never heard what you said on the discovery call, the developer who built exactly what the mockup showed but not what you meant.


    For large projects that need extra hands, I have a team of specialists I've worked with for years — photographers, industry copywriters, developers for custom integrations. I bring them in openly; I stay in charge of the work, and you'll know who they are. As a seasoned designer and brand strategist, I don't work with junior designers, and I don't hand your project to anyone I wouldn't trust to put my name on it. Nothing is white-labeled or passed off as mine when it isn't.

Two Project Slots Open Before Year-End

I have room for two more projects before year-end. To finish this year, start by November 15. Ask your accountant how a website fits into your taxes.
