SQUIRE has some exciting news to share! In our ongoing mission to better serve our local Burnsville adventurers and beyond, we have officially upgraded our pricing by rolling out a brand new website package system with clearly published pricing.Â
Let’s face it, the traditional custom website quoting process can feel like trekking through a time-consuming swamp, while getting bogged down by technical jargon and in-depth details. By introducing these pre-scoped packages, we are cutting through the red tape to provide total transparency and faster turnaround times, getting your new digital adventure started sooner than ever!
Find your custom website built by a local Burnsville web developer by following these three simple steps. First, you pick your website package. Then, you can add optional power-ups to address specific needs. Lastly, pick your Monthly Adventure Plan!Â
So how does this work? What we are selling are pre-scoped website packages. Put simply, this is a list of all that will be provided within the website build. The secret sauce here is the balance between providing enough details, structure, and boundaries for pricing purposes, while at the same time leaving room for the design elements of the build! This balance allows us to sell custom websites at fixed prices.Â
Perfect for adventurers who want to make a massive statement without the clutter, The One Page Banger is a high-impact, custom-designed powerhouse that stacks all your essential content into a single, seamless digital experience.

Power-ups are optional gear upgrades for your website and/or business, each addressing a specific need that you might encounter. If needed, we can just focus on your launch today. These upgrades can be unlocked and added to our adventure at any time! Costs and details vary, so click on the desired power-up for details.
Once your website is built, your adventure plan kicks in. These plans cover five key areas: monthly dev time, security, maintenance, backend systems, and reports. Our goal is to provide you with digital peace of mind, unlocking your time to focus on what you do best!
Built for agility and budget, the Skeleton plan focuses on solid “bare bones” essentials. Designed to be a low-cost option for testing new ideas or launching a new venture without the weight of any nice-to-have non-essential features.
Dev time - hourly rate
Level 1 Security
Level 1 Maintenance
Level 1 Systems
Reports - hourly rate
Upgrade to the Warden plan for a more comprehensive experience, unlocked by adding dedicated dev time and a monthly report. Effectively adding some “meat” to the Skeleton plan for early businesses that want to scale both faster and smarter.
Forged for those who want more, the Guardian plan adds “power armor” to beef up its abilities. This boosted tier delivers doubled dev time, thicker security, deeper insights, backed by larger systems without adding any maintenance bloat.
Eclipsed by none. The Archon plan brings “supernova” energy to your business with doubled dev time and top-tier deliverables across every category. Designed for bigger businesses with complicated needs to fuel ambitious projects.
The typical website build has three payment stages:
SEO is a large topic that is always changing based on search engine updates. With that said, we do include quite a few SEO deliverables in our builds. If you are looking for something more, we can connect and add them as deliverables to your build. We are also planning on adding varying levels of power-ups for even further customization. We are also experimenting with the new emerging field of AEO, which focuses on AI website optimization, and will be available via power-ups as well!Â
Here is what we include by default:Â
The amount of dev time you have access to varies depending on which tier of adventure plan you are using! This resource is as simple as it sounds: you have access to X amount of time each month. All you need to do is email us with your tasks, and we will tackle them and subtract from your monthly dev time.Â
Note: To help ensure consistent availability for all clients, hours are allocated per month and do not roll over. Also, if needed, access to additional time is available upon request.
Included in our Warden adventure plans and up is “Domain acquisition and management”. This means if you do not already have a domain (www.YourWebsiteDomain.com), we will provide you with some available options and acquire the domain that you select.
With that being said, we do put a limit of $30 on these new domain acquisitions, which will cover most domain options. If there is a premium domain that you would like that goes over the $30 included budget, then we can just talk about a small added cost to cover the additional funds needed.Â
At SQUIRE, we purchase and manage domains through GoDaddy’s platform and do need any existing domains for websites we build transferred to our account so that we can properly set up our CDN.Â
If you get a new idea that you would like to add to the build, just let us know, and we can talk things over! The two main factors are when this new idea is added and how much time is needed to create this new idea.Â
If we are still building the website, this new idea will likely be outside of the project scope, but we can see how we are doing on time, or explore options to expand the quote if needed!Â
If your new website is already live, shoot us an email, and we can take a look! We might be able to add this new idea within your monthly dev time.Â
This is a tricky topic!
We will never lock you out of the website if this is something that is important to you. But with that being said, as partners that genuinely care about your success, we highly recommend leaving the edits to us. With nearly a decade of experience, I have worked with many clients who wanted backend access and ended up accidentally introducing errors into the build, in some cases, crashing the whole website. There have only been two instances that I can recall where customers making their own edits worked out well.Â
If the website crashes due to something added, edited, imported, or removed by a non-SQUIRE staff member, then monthly dev time will be used to make the necessary repairs.Â
With that being said, if this is important to you, we can talk through some options and find a solution! It is possible for us to create accounts and “rope off” some areas of the website to help add guide rails in hopes of avoiding issues down the road.Â
If this is important to you, let’s talk about what you need to succeed, and we can figure out the best approach! ThanksÂ
While we do not recommend this option, it is something that we can do. Each situation is a bit different and will result in a higher build cost. This is due to a few reasons, such as to help make builds more affordable, some of the adventure plan funds are designed to cover a portion of the build cost over time, which wouldn’t take place if you do not sign up for an adventure plan.
There are also new complications we would need to consider when it relates to things like software licenses, server PHP versions, server bandwidth availability, where we build the project, how we migrate the project, and other similar tasks to consider.Â
The internet is a big space, and websites can go in so many different directions! If you have a need, idea, or question, please do not hesitate to reach out and ask. We love hearing about your ideas and can see if there is anything we can do to help you reach your goals!Â
Having second thoughts? We understand that jumping into a new adventure can be scary! Especially with all of the hollow promises out there. To help with this, we provide free, no strings attached, homepage mockups to help you better envision what working with us will look like!Â
We have new custom website packages, making getting started easier than ever!Â
