Your website is the first impression.

People judge in a blink. Most sites give them nothing to remember. Motion is how you win that blink.

Pricing · What we build

Custom websites, priced to move.

Every build is designed and coded around your idea. These are real starting points, and we come in under most studios working at this level.

The Launch Build

A focused custom build with ambient motion — as many pages as you need, built from a small set of custom layouts.

from $1,100

The exact figure depends on how many custom layouts it needs and how much motion it carries.

Up to 3 custom layouts · 3 rounds of revision · live in under a week

  • Custom design, built from scratch
  • Ambient background film
  • Scroll-driven motion
  • Mobile-perfect & fast
  • SEO, schema & breadcrumbs baked in
  • Analytics & conversion tracking

Our pick

The Signature Site

A richer build with background film and scroll-driven motion, and a standout interaction of its own, designed around your brand from scratch.

from $2,500

Up to 6 custom layouts · 3 rounds of revision · live in 1–2 weeks

  • Everything in Launch
  • Background film & richer motion
  • Motion & hover interactions
  • Copywriting & content help
  • Indexed on Google from day one

Essential care included free — managed hosting, security updates, daily backups and uptime monitoring, at no extra cost.

The Flagship

The full cinematic treatment — a 3D or interactive centerpiece, a custom CMS or client portal, and as many layouts as the site needs. For brands that want to lead their category.

from $4,700

Unlimited layouts · 3 rounds of revision · live in 2–3 weeks

  • Everything in Signature
  • 3D / WebGL centerpiece
  • Custom CMS or client portal
  • Dedicated SEO, GEO & AEO strategy
  • Backlink & authority strategy

Essential care included free — managed hosting, security updates, daily backups and uptime monitoring, at no extra cost.

Optional add-ons — e-commerce or online ordering from $900, a client portal or dashboard from $1,200. Only if you want them, and always quoted with the build, never after it.

Fair warning, before you book — in practice one person runs your build, with specialists brought in for film, photography and copy when a job needs them. If we’re booked, you wait. And if your total budget is under about $1,100, a site builder will serve you better than we will. We’d rather say that here than on a call.

Keep it sharp — Care & Motion plans

Completely optional — your build is finished and fully yours without one. Essential comes free with The Signature Site and The Flagship, so the top two builds launch hosted, backed up and monitored at no extra cost. Move up a plan when you want more hands-on, or stay where you are. Cancel anytime.

Everything we can build

One person, the whole stack. Tap any line to see why it matters for your site — mix and match, and if it lives on the web, we make it custom.

Design

Custom design, never a template

A template makes you look like every competitor using the same one. A custom design is built around your offer, so a visitor understands in seconds what you do and why you're the better call.

Brand-led art direction

Colour, type and imagery are chosen to fit your brand instead of a stock theme. It's what makes a site feel expensive. And expensive-looking brands get asked for pricing, not for discounts.

Copywriting that sells

Most sites describe. Yours needs to persuade. We write the words so every section answers the question a buyer is actually asking and points them to the next step.

Wireframes & clickable prototypes

You click through the layout before a line of code is written. Changes are free at this stage and expensive later. This is where we get it right.

Design systems & style guides

A documented set of buttons, headings and spacing rules. It keeps every future page looking like it belongs, and makes adding sections later fast instead of a rebuild.

Motion & 3D

Scroll-driven animation

Motion tells the eye where to go next, so people keep scrolling instead of bouncing. Time-on-page is one of the clearest signals to Google that your page deserves to rank.

WebGL & Three.js experiences

Real-time graphics running in the browser. The effect people screenshot and send to a colleague. It's the difference between a site that informs and one that gets remembered.

Interactive 3D product models

Let customers spin your product, change finishes and inspect details. For anything made-to-order it removes the biggest objection: not being able to picture it.

Ambient background film

Quiet looping footage that gives a page atmosphere instantly. It communicates craft and scale faster than a paragraph ever will.

Cinematic page transitions

Pages flow into each other instead of blinking white. It makes the whole site feel like one considered experience rather than a stack of documents.

Custom cursor & hover interactions

Small responses to the mouse that make a site feel alive and premium. Subtle, but it's the detail that separates a custom build from a builder.

Build

Custom-built, never a page-builder

No Wix, Squarespace or bloated theme. Your site is purpose-built code, which means it loads faster, ranks better, and you're never boxed in by what a builder allows.

Fully responsive on every device

Most of your visitors are on a phone. Every layout is designed for small screens first, so nothing is squashed, cut off, or impossible to tap.

Content management (edit it yourself)

Change text, prices and photos yourself without calling anyone or paying for it. Sites that stay current keep ranking; sites frozen at launch quietly slide.

E-commerce & online ordering

Take payment directly on your site. Products, deposits or online orders — with a checkout that matches your brand instead of a generic cart.

Booking, quotes & custom forms

The step where money actually happens. Forms are built for the fewest possible fields and route straight to you, so leads never sit in a portal you forget to check.

Client portals & dashboards

A private login where your customers track their project, approve work or grab documents. It cuts status-update phone calls and makes you look far bigger than you are.

Third-party integrations & APIs

Connect the tools you already run on. Booking systems, CRMs, payment or inventory — so your site isn't an island you have to re-type everything into.

Accessibility (WCAG) best practice

Proper contrast, keyboard navigation and labelling. It widens who can actually use your site, and accessible markup is the same markup search engines understand best.

Get found

Technical SEO & schema markup

The invisible layer that tells Google exactly what your business is, where it operates and what it offers. Without it you're asking search engines to guess.

Google indexing & Search Console

We submit the site, confirm Google has actually indexed it, and hand you the dashboard. A beautiful site nobody has indexed earns nothing.

Breadcrumbs & site architecture

A clear structure so both people and crawlers understand how your pages relate. It also earns those tidy navigation trails in search results.

Local SEO & Google Business Profile

For anyone selling in a service area, the map pack is the real front page. We align the site and your profile so you show up where nearby customers look first.

Backlinks & authority building

Google ranks you partly on who else vouches for you. We work on earning real links so you climb for terms you can't win on page content alone.

AI-search optimization (AEO & GEO)

People now ask ChatGPT and Google's AI for recommendations. Answer-engine and generative-engine optimisation are the same job under two names: structuring your content, schema and entity signals so you're the business those answers cite, not the one left out.

Industry landing pages

A dedicated page for each type of customer you serve. It's how you rank for the specific search someone actually types instead of competing for one generic phrase.

Launch & grow

Domain & hosting setup

We handle DNS, hosting and the whole go-live so nothing breaks in the switch. And you keep ownership of every account.

SSL, speed & Core Web Vitals

The padlock and the load time. Slow pages lose visitors before they see anything, and speed is a direct Google ranking factor.

Analytics & conversion tracking

You see how many people arrived, what they did, and how many turned into enquiries. So decisions come from numbers rather than a hunch.

Email & SMS lead notifications

New enquiries hit your inbox and phone the moment they land. Speed of reply is one of the biggest factors in whether a lead closes.

Ongoing edits & new sections

Your business changes; the site should too. New services, new photos, new pages added whenever you need them.

Monitoring, backups & support

Uptime checks, daily backups and a person to call. If anything goes wrong it's caught and restored before it costs you customers.

Websites we built

Custom sites that make people stop.

Every project below is a real, live website we designed and built from scratch — no templates, no themes. Three of them you can open and judge for yourself; the fourth is private at the client's request, and stays that way.

Private commission A wedding website

A private wedding website

A Signature build for a couple who asked that their names, the address and the site itself stay off this page. So there is no link and no screenshot here, and there will not be one. If you want a wedding site that never surfaces in a search result, that is a thing we build and a request we keep.

  • RSVP
  • Schedule & travel
  • Private by design
  • Mobile-first

The couple asked three AI assistants what their site should have cost

  • Claude est.$9k–$14k
  • Perplexity est.$16k–$25k
  • Our price$2,500

Run by the couple on their own device and reported to us 19 August 2026 — we didn’t see the prompts. The $2,500 is what a build like this costs today — The Signature Site.

Testimonials

What clients say after launch.

“Webs by Spider did an excellent job creating the new website for Silver Leaf Landscaping. They took the time to understand our residential and commercial landscaping services, the customers we serve, and the areas we work throughout Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita, and Southern California.

The new website is modern, professional, mobile-friendly, and much easier for potential customers to navigate. Our landscaping services are clearly organized, the project photos stand out, and visitors can quickly request a quote or contact our team.”

“We gave Web-Sites By Spider our vision and they moved fast. Our new site was live before we expected it. Quote requests jumped immediately, and more of them closed. Clients kept telling us the site made us feel like the obvious choice.”

Questions

The things people ask before they hire us.

Short, straight answers. If yours isn’t here, ask — you’ll get a reply within one business day.

How much does a custom website cost?

A focused custom build starts at $1,100, a richer one with background film and scroll motion at $2,500, and the full cinematic build with a 3D/WebGL centerpiece and custom CMS or client portal at $4,700. Most studios doing motion-led work start around $20,000, so these are deliberately priced under the market.

How long does it take to build a website?

Most sites go live in 1-2 weeks. That covers custom design, build, motion, content and launch, including getting the site indexed on Google.

Do you use templates or website builders?

No. Every site is custom-built rather than assembled in Wix, Squarespace or a theme. That means it loads faster, ranks better, and is never limited by what a builder allows.

Is SEO included?

Yes. Technical SEO, schema markup and breadcrumbs are built into every tier, and the site is submitted and confirmed indexed on Google at launch. Higher tiers add backlink and authority building plus AI-search (AEO) optimisation.

Can I edit the website myself after launch?

Yes. Content management is available so you can change text, prices and photos yourself. If you would rather not, a Care & Motion plan from $25/month covers ongoing edits, hosting, backups and monitoring.

Can I get a custom website on a small budget?

Yes. A focused custom build starts at $1,100, and the exact figure depends on how many custom layouts it needs and how much motion it carries. That is a custom-built page, not a template with your logo dropped on it: custom design, ambient motion, mobile-first, SEO and schema, analytics, plus hosting and SSL set up in accounts you own. After launch you can host it yourself or hand it to us on a Care & Motion plan from $25/month. A full multi-page site is a different product and starts at $2,500. Studios doing motion-led work usually start around $20,000. We come in under that because we run lean: no account layer, no sales team, no office, and modern tooling instead of billing you for the slow way.

How does the website design process work?

Four moves. 1) Discovery: a short call to understand your brand, goals and what unforgettable means for you. 2) Design: a cinematic direction with type, colour and motion, mocked up so you can feel it before we build. 3) Build and motion: fast, animated and purpose-built, where the interactions and film come alive. 4) Launch and grow: we ship it, get it indexed on Google, and wire up SEO, breadcrumbs and analytics, then keep stacking backlinks and authority so it climbs while it converts.

What industries do you build websites for?

Any industry. There are dedicated pages for restaurants, manufacturing, law firms, retail and e-commerce, med spas, gyms and fitness, real estate, home services and trades, and weddings and events, and we build everything from one-page launches to full e-commerce.

Still got one? Ask us directly — you’ll get a real answer, not a brochure.
