Pricing · 2026
$499. One-off.
No catch.
Most small businesses get pitched two options: $200 a month for a Wix site forever, or $5,000 upfront from a freelance agency. Neither makes sense for a shop owner. $499 is what the work is actually worth.

About the studio
A small studio
with one opinion.
Bragi Studio is run by Pedro, out of New York. The studio is built on one opinion: every small business deserves a website that fits them. Not a template the next shop down the block also has. Not a Wix drag-and-drop that subtly screams it cost $0 to make. Their own site, designed for their own shop.
We pick the palette and the type for the personality of the business. We use the photos they actually have, the reviews their customers actually wrote, the hours they actually keep. Every site looks like the shop that ordered it, not like every other Bragi Studio site.
Big design agencies charge $5,000 for this and take three months. Drag-and-drop builders charge $200 a month forever and the site never quite looks right. We charge $499 once, finish in a week, and the code is yours. That's the whole pitch.
Common questions
Honest answers,
no fine print.
How long does it take?
Three to five business days from kickoff to a live preview link. Connecting your existing domain adds a day or two on top, depending on DNS propagation.Do I actually own the site?
Yes. Once it's live, the code, the design, and the content are all yours. We host it on Vercel for you so you don't have to deal with infrastructure, but you can move it any time you like.What if I already have a domain?
We help you connect it. If you bought through GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains, Squarespace, anywhere, we'll walk you through the DNS records or just do it with you on a quick call.Can I edit the site myself afterwards?
Small content changes (text, photos, hours, contact info) are included for the first year. Just email and we'll handle them. Bigger changes (new sections, redesigns) are quoted separately.What if I don't like what you build?
We rework it. The $499 buys a finished site you're happy with, not a draft. If after the first revision round you still don't want it, you pay nothing.Do you do bigger projects? Online ordering, booking, e-commerce?
Yes, but those are quoted on top of the $499. The flat rate covers a brochure-style site with five to seven sections, a contact form, and mobile-friendly design. Online booking, Stripe checkout, and multi-page catalogs are extras.Where are you based?
New York. We work remotely either way, but we're in your timezone and we know the city.Why so cheap?
Local businesses get pitched $200 a month for a Wix site or $5,000 from a freelance agency. Neither makes sense for a small shop. $499 is what the work is actually worth at the scale we operate at, and a $499 spend is a decision a shop owner can make without a finance meeting.
