I need you to look at this before I say anything else.
That's a live site I built. Private chef, artisan bakery, full booking flow, clean design, fully mobile responsive. And it cost the client $100.
People are usually shocked when I say that number out loud. The going rate for a single page site like this is normally $200 to $300, and I do build in that range too, depending on scope. But I also keep a $100 tier, on purpose, because I don't think everyone who needs a professional website should have to spend a lot of money to get one. Especially if you're a small business or just starting out.
So let me show you exactly what $100 got this client, and then I'll break down five types of websites I build at this price for people just like them.
The Project: Chef Marvv
Chef Marvv is a private chef and artisan baker based in Port Harcourt. He needed a site that felt premium, not like a template someone threw together in an afternoon.
Here's what the build included:
- A hero section with his branding and a clear call to book
- A signature services section covering private chef dining, artisan bakery, custom cakes, and event catering
- An about section telling his story and years of experience
- A booking section connected straight to WhatsApp so clients can inquire instantly
- Full mobile responsiveness, because most of his clients are finding him on their phones, not a laptop
No clutter, no pages he didn't need, just a clean, fast, mobile friendly site that makes him look exactly as premium as his food actually is. That's the whole philosophy behind my $100 tier. Simple doesn't have to mean cheap looking.
Five Website Types I Build at This Price
1. Portfolio or Personal Brand Website
For creatives, consultants, and coaches who need one clean page to represent themselves online. Home, about, services, contact, footer. Fully mobile responsive, sharp enough to make a strong first impression.
2. Small Business Landing Page
Product or service focused, built to convert visitors into action. A clear breakdown of what you offer, plus a WhatsApp or Instagram click to chat button front and center. The goal isn't more pages, it's more DMs.
3. Online Restaurant or Cafe Site
Like Chef Marvv, but for food vendors who want customers to browse the menu and prices before ever messaging. Saves you the back and forth and makes ordering feel effortless on any device.
4. Service Booking Site
Perfect for nail techs, service providers, or anyone who books appointments. Pairs perfectly with WhatsApp and a calendar link so clients can see your services and book directly.
5. Digital Catalog Site
Product photos, prices, DM to order. A clean, scrollable digital shop window so customers already know what you sell before they reach out.
Why I Keep This Tier Around
I could charge more for all of these, and for bigger builds, I do. But I know what it feels like to be building something from nothing with limited resources. If a clean, mobile responsive, professional website for $100 helps someone take their small business seriously, that trade is worth it to me every time.
If you've been putting off getting a website because of cost, this might be your sign.
