> WEBSITE_BUILDERS_TO_OFFER_CLIENTS

When building sites for local businesses, these platforms let you deliver fast results at low cost:

• Framer - best for modern, design-forward sites. Fast to build, looks premium.
• Webflow - full control over design, great for custom builds. Steeper learning curve.
• Squarespace - easiest to hand off to clients for self-management. Great templates.
• WordPress - most flexible, huge plugin ecosystem. Good for SEO-heavy sites.
• Wix - fast and client-friendly. Works well for restaurants and service businesses.

> PRICING_GUIDANCE

Typical pricing for local business websites (one-time cost):

• Starter (1-page site): $300 – $700 - hours, location, contact form, Google Maps embed
• Standard (3-5 pages): $700 – $1,500 - home, about, services, gallery, contact
• Premium (custom): $1,500+ - booking systems, e-commerce, SEO optimization

Don't underprice. Small businesses expect to pay for professional services. Charging too little signals low quality.
