The website, the applications behind it, the hosting underneath it, and the systems work in between.
Builds and rebuilds
The website itself.
Whether you're starting fresh or replacing something that looks like 2014, every project starts from a blank file. No WordPress themes, no drag-and-drop builders, no template with your logo pasted on.
Custom design. Shaped around your brand and your customers, page by page.
Mobile included on full builds. Desktop, tablet, and phone layouts ship together. Rebuilds can add mobile as needed.
SEO foundations. Proper meta tags, semantic structure, fast load times, and sitemaps so search engines can find you.
Project starting points
Priced plainly, quoted properly.
These are starting points, not packages. You get an exact number before anything begins.
And don't let a starting price scare you off. Nothing here is set in stone. Every project gets a quote scoped to what you actually need, and the number we name is the number you pay.
Resume or portfolio site
$250+
Full builds · mobile included
One professional place to send people. A resume or bio, selected work, credentials, and a simple contact path. Hosting and upkeep starts at $20/mo.
For personal and creative portfolios. Business, ecommerce, and custom app needs are quoted separately.
Basic business site
$2,500+
Full builds · mobile included
A polished site that looks credible, explains your services clearly, and turns visitors into calls. Typically 5 to 10 pages with custom responsive design, contact forms, SEO foundations, analytics, and launch support.
Best for local service businesses, solo practices, consultants, and small teams.
Website rebuild or platform move
$1,500+
Rebuilds & platform moves
For businesses on Wix, WordPress, or Squarespace that want the site rebuilt cleanly on our Cloudflare setup. Covers content review, page rebuilding, redirects, forms, analytics, and launch support.
Usually less than a ground-up build when the structure, copy, and images already exist.
Rebuild mobile add-on
$750+
Rebuilds & platform moves
Adds mobile and tablet layouts to a rebuild: responsive sections, mobile navigation, tap-friendly buttons, and device testing across the pages in scope.
Custom business or e-commerce site
$5,000+
Larger builds
For businesses with deeper content, online sales, or a site that has to do more than look good. Expanded structure, lead capture, product and checkout basics, integrations, and performance tuning.
Web-based application
$5,000+
Custom software
Client portals, dashboards, booking systems, and internal tools built around the way your business actually operates. Built on Cloudflare Workers, the same platform behind our hosting, with user accounts and data-backed workflows served fast from the edge.
Priced per project once the workflow, data, and integrations are defined.
AI-integrated application
$6,000+
Custom software
Document search, intake and form processing, summarization, drafting help, and custom tools that work with the information your business already has. AI built into the workflow rather than bolted on.
Scoped per project; model and usage costs billed separately. Sometimes the right answer is AI, sometimes it's simpler automation. We recommend whichever fits the problem.
Domain, email & DNS setup
Price by service
Systems & support
Registering domains, connecting them to your site, setting up professional email, and configuring DNS, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC so your mail lands.
Automation & integrations
Price by service

Connecting the tools you already use: forms to spreadsheets, payments to invoices, bookings to calendars, plus small scripts that take repetitive work off your plate.
Systems & network support
Price by service
Systems & support
Hands-on help when something breaks or needs setting up: workstations, networks and Wi-Fi, printers, software configuration, and account or access issues.
Data, backups & migrations
Price by service
Systems & support
Moving data between platforms, setting up reliable backups, recovering files, and getting content off an old system cleanly onto a new one.

Let's talk
Systems & support
If it's technical and it's on your plate, tell us what you need. Pricing is negotiated based on the service, scope, and time involved.
Pick the level of help you want after the site is live. Most of our job starts after launch: hosting, monitoring, security, backups, and the changes that come up.
$99/mo
Starter
For a stable site that needs reliable hosting, protection, and a light monthly touch.
Routine changes are text, image, menu, link, and small content edits. Larger sections, new pages, and redesign work are quoted separately. Prefer an outside host? We can work with that for a coordination fee.
Doesn't fit a tier? We'll build one.
Higher traffic, multiple sites, custom integrations, or frequent new pages. We scope what you actually need and agree on a flat monthly rate before anything starts.
Most businesses never add up what they pay across scattered tools. Here's what the Growth plan replaces:

And you're not managing any of it. One team, one bill, one place to go when something needs to change.
Website partner
You don't have to become the web person.
You could hand an AI a prompt and have a website by the end of the afternoon. Sometimes that's genuinely the right call, and we'd tell you so. But it won't set you up on secure hosting, keep backups you can roll back to, or pick up the phone when something breaks. We do.
Cortex is for the owner who would rather run the business. We build the site with you, run it on reliable infrastructure, and stay close enough to help the moment something changes.
Built for your business. Custom design and structure around your services, customers, and goals.
Same team after launch. The people who built the site handle the updates and fixes that come later.
Managed hosting. Your site runs on Cloudflare's global network for speed, security, and reliability.
Room to grow. When you're ready for a portal, an automation, or an integration, it's the same team and the same system.
