Cost & scope
What it costs, what is inside the number, and what changes it.
What does a project cost?
Most asked
Flat, transparent packages starting at $2,000. You get the figure before work starts, so there is a budget you can plan around rather than an hourly estimate that drifts.
What is actually inside a package?
The whole sequence: discovery and strategy, Figma design reviewed together, a responsive and SEO-ready Webflow build with clean semantic structure, browser and device QA, launch, and hands-on one-to-one CMS training at handoff. The full engagement is written out as twelve numbered deliverables, and nothing appears in a quote that is not on that list.
What changes the price?
Scope. Page count, how many CMS collections have to be modelled, whether e-commerce is involved, and how much motion the build carries. What never changes it is the number of hours it took us. That is our problem, not a line on your invoice.
Do you build e-commerce?
Yes. Jobe's Hats is an e-commerce build (faster product pages, cleaner collection logic and a checkout path with nothing in the way), and the client reported +50% sales and +40% revenue after launch.
Can we buy one piece rather than the whole thing?
Yes. The six services are quoted separately and flat, so a migration, a search engagement, a performance pass or a motion pass can each be bought on its own. Where two or more are scoped together, they are quoted as one figure rather than stacked as two.

Timeline & process
How long it runs, in what order, and what we need from your side.
How long does a Webflow build take?
Most asked
Most projects run four to eight weeks end to end, across discovery, design, build, QA and launch. Timelines hold because the sequence is the same every time.
What happens after we get in touch?
You get a reply within one business day, then a consultation to establish what the site actually has to do. What comes back after that is a flat quote in writing. Only once that is agreed does step one, discovery and strategy, begin, so nothing is being built while the scope is still moving.
What do you need from us?
Your goals and whatever traffic data you have, one decision-maker, brand assets, final copy and images for the pages in scope, a short review pass on your own devices, DNS access or the person who holds it, and analytics access so post-launch iteration runs on real numbers. Timelines slip on that column far more often than on ours.
Who will we be working with?
Devdwell is a 100% remote team, one dedicated group with synchronised communication, so there is no account layer between your brief and the people building against it. A Webflow Premium Partner operating since 2022.
The six steps, in orderStart a projectMeet the teamWhat clients say
Platform & migration
Moving to Webflow, keeping what you have earned, and whether it is the right platform at all.
Will moving from WordPress to Webflow hurt our search rankings?
Most asked
No. Migrations include a full redirect map and parity checks, so every ranking is preserved while the site gains speed and a CMS your marketing team can actually use.
Does the site go down during the move?
No. Everything up to the DNS cutover happens on a staged Webflow build while your current site stays live and untouched. The switch itself is the only moment anything changes, and the redirect map is already in place when it happens.
Which platforms do you migrate from?
WordPress is the most common, and it has its own page. Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, Custom code follow the same discipline, an inventory, a redirect map built from a crawl of your own site, and parity checks before the switch. Only the export step changes.
How do we know Webflow is the right platform for us?
You might not be, and that is a conversation worth having before a quote rather than after one. There are 7 straight comparisons written out in full, including what the other platform is genuinely better at.

Speed, search & motion
The numbers a build is held to, and the honest limits around each of them.
How fast will our site be?
Every build is held to four numbers before it is allowed to go live: Lighthouse 99/100, LCP 0.9s, CLS 0.00, Uptime 99.9%. Those are pass conditions rather than aspirations, and where a live site needs the deeper version, asset budgets, font strategy and render-path cleanup are their own engagement.
Is SEO included, or is it extra?
Every custom build ships SEO-ready, schema markup, heading structure, clean code and fast load times are part of the build rather than an upsell. The separate engagement is the deeper one: an audit of a live site, crawl hygiene, content architecture and the internal linking a build alone does not produce.
Do you guarantee a position on page one?
No, and nobody honestly can. What is committed to is the work and the measurement: crawl hygiene, schema, architecture and internal linking, checked against index coverage and judged on organic traffic and conversions rather than on rankings alone.
Does animation make the site slower?
Not when it is built to a budget. Only transform, opacity, clip-path and filter are ever animated, never a layout property, motion never sits in front of the first paint, and there is a reduced-motion path and a no-JavaScript path that both still read as a finished page.

After launch
Who owns the site once it is live, and what keeping it alive actually involves.
Can our team update the site without a developer?
Most asked
Yes. Every launch includes hands-on one-to-one CMS training, and the build is structured with clean, semantic components your team can extend on their own.
What happens after launch?
Most asked
Ongoing maintenance, uptime monitoring and dedicated troubleshooting on a retainer. Issues get resolved, not logged and forgotten.
What does a retainer actually cover?
Uptime monitoring continuously, with alerts that reach a person. Content edits, CMS entries and small fixes shipped weekly. Once a month, a read of real traffic data and one change made against it, with the launch numbers re-checked on live pages. And dedicated troubleshooting whenever you need it, from the team that built the site.
How is support billed, are we locked in?
Monthly, quoted on scope, and cancellable. It runs month to month with no minimum term, and it is priced in writing before the first month the same way project work is quoted as a flat package.
Do you keep improving the site, or just keep it running?
Post-launch success is a step in the process rather than an afterthought: ongoing monitoring, support and iteration against real traffic data. A site nobody touches after launch decays at exactly the speed of the market around it.
