Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing
How much does a website from Keybridge Web cost?
Custom WordPress websites from Keybridge Web start at around $11,000. That includes custom design, development, SEO fundamentals, security, and training on the CMS. Projects with member portals, e-commerce, or complex integrations cost more and are scoped before work begins.
How much does website maintenance cost?
Keybridge Web offers three maintenance plans: Silver at $235/month, Gold at $355/month, and Platinum at $825/month. All include WordPress core and plugin updates, security monitoring, and backups.
Why do custom websites cost more than Squarespace or a template?
A template gives you a layout; a custom build gives you design decisions made for your organization, functionality built to your workflows, and a team accountable for the result over years, not weeks. For organizations where the website does real work — memberships, donations, lead generation — the difference compounds.
Process & timeline
What is Keybridge Web's process?
Every project follows an eight-step process: Discovery, Design Concepting, SEO, The Work (development), Quality Control, Launch, Training, and Ongoing Support.
How long does a website project take?
Most Keybridge Web projects take 8–10 weeks from kickoff to launch. Complex builds with member portals or heavy integrations typically run three to four months. Rush timelines are available at a premium — Keybridge Web has launched quick-turnaround microsites in a matter of days.
Will we be able to update the site ourselves?
Yes. Every Keybridge Web site ships with a WordPress CMS configured so non-technical staff can edit content, and training is a standard step of the process — not an add-on.
