Black Bambu / Website services

Custom websites.
Built around your business.

We get to know your company, customers, and goals before setting the creative direction and building your website. For service businesses, creative portfolios, stores, and digital products, that groundwork shapes the offer, design, and path to inquiry or purchase.

New website projects from $3,500

No sales call required. Shawn reviews your brief and replies by email.

01 / Website options

Find your starting point.

Every new website begins with understanding the business and setting the creative direction. These starting points combine that foundation with different pages and features. We’ll recommend the scope after reviewing your brief.

Best fit
A business with several services or a body of work to showcase.
Core scope
Typically 10 pages: 5–6 unique page designs, with the remaining pages using a shared subpage layout. Prepared content is placed into the agreed pages.
Important limits
The sitemap, content volume, editing needs, and functionality define the final scope.
Typical additions
A larger body of content, more unique layouts, member areas, or custom integrations.

02 / Website option

Custom Platforms

From$8,800

Best fit
E-commerce stores, SaaS products, and larger websites with a content management system (CMS).
Core scope
Custom design and development around the customer journeys, content, and functionality agreed for your project.

03 / Website option

Launch

From$3,500

Best fit
A service business with a focused offer and one clear next step.
Core scope
One custom-branded page with sections for your offer, work, and next step, designed for mobile and desktop.
Important limits
One page. Its content and required functionality are agreed before the build.
Typical additions
More pages, booking, or other connected features.

Example sites open in a new tab. Their individual features are scoped separately from the starting options.

The initial investment includes understanding your business and establishing the creative direction, even for a single page. Once that foundation is in place, additional landing pages or focused updates can build on the approved work. We scope those additions separately; page count alone does not determine the price.

Unique page designs establish a layout; shared subpages reuse it with different content. Content population means placing prepared copy and images into those pages.

For Custom Platforms, we recommend continuing with Black Bambu for website development and marketing after launch, so the site can evolve alongside your business. This ongoing work is scoped and priced separately from the build.

02 / Build and ongoing costs

What’s included.
What costs extra.

Included in the build

  • A sitemap and organized content document before wireframes and design.
  • Custom-branded design and development for the agreed pages, on mobile and desktop.
  • Placement of prepared content into the agreed pages.
  • Search foundations: clear structure, page titles, and descriptions.
  • Staged reviews and approvals, testing, and launch support.

Scoped separately

  • Copywriting, photography, and new brand identity work.
  • Additional pages, layouts, content, or review rounds beyond the agreed scope.

Need help with copywriting, photography, or identity? We can scope that work with you and introduce local creative affiliates where useful. Roles and fees are agreed before work begins.

Search foundations also support how AI-assisted search understands your business. Ongoing SEO is separate; rankings and AI placement are not guaranteed.

Read the process and preparation guide

Human-led work, with AI assistance.

AI may support research, planning, coding, and production. Shawn directs the work, reviews AI-assisted outputs, and makes the final creative and technical decisions. Any project-specific restrictions are agreed before work begins.

Your judgment guides feedback.

AI can help organize your ideas. Send one consolidated, prioritized list with what you want changed and why it matters to your business. Review AI suggestions first so the feedback reflects your priorities.

Reviewing raw AI reports or adding revision rounds beyond the agreed scope is separate work. We’ll agree on any extra work and fees before proceeding.

04 / A few useful answers

Before you send
the brief.

Do I need finished copy and images to send a brief?

No. Send what you know. We organize the content into a clear, page-by-page document before designing the pages. We’ll confirm who supplies the final copy and images, and when they are needed.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes, with the editing tools agreed in your scope. You can manage content yourself or ask Black Bambu to handle updates. We recommend the setup and confirm any software fees and training during scope review.

Can you improve an existing website?

Yes. Share its address and what needs to change. We assess the existing site before recommending a rebuild or the right next step.

Is a strategy engagement or sales call required?

No sales call is required to start. A separate strategy engagement is not a prerequisite for every website. Your brief gives Shawn the context to recommend the work your project needs.

05 / Your website brief

Tell us what
you’re building.

Four useful details are enough to start. Shawn will review your brief and reply by email with a recommended scope and next step.
