How Much Does a Website Redesign Cost in Reno?
A practical guide to Chris Hill Consulting’s pricing and project scope.
For a custom website redesign through Chris Hill Consulting, a useful planning range is $3,000–$10,000+. The final quote depends on the number of pages, services and locations the website needs to cover, along with technical complexity, custom features and animation.
This is Chris Hill Consulting’s pricing, rather than an average of what every Reno agency charges. A focused site with fewer pages and a straightforward contact form is more likely to fall toward the lower end. Multiple services and locations, more extensive content, or custom functionality can move a project toward the higher end or beyond. These are scope examples, not fixed price tiers.
New or revised copy is included. Your proposal defines the pages, features, responsibilities and investment before work begins. Payment is typically split 50%/50%, with the milestones set out in the proposal.
What changes the cost of a redesign?
Page count is part of the answer, but it does not describe the whole project. When I scope a website design or redesign, I look at what customers need to understand and what the business needs the website to do.
Services, locations and content
A business with one clear service needs a different structure from a company with several services and regional teams. Each additional service or location can introduce questions about eligibility, availability, contact information and the next step.
Existing content may need editing, combining or replacing. The amount of writing and organization affects the scope, and you will need to confirm that business details and service descriptions are accurate.
Features and the editing experience
A straightforward contact form is different from an estimate process that needs detailed information and routing to the appropriate team. Booking tools, ecommerce, custom interactions and animation also change what needs to be designed, built and tested.
If you want to edit pages yourself, a content management system gives you an editing dashboard. That requirement should be part of the scope from the start.
Moving from the old website to the new one
Useful pages, existing page addresses, forms, account access and hosting arrangements need attention alongside the new design.
That may mean keeping existing page addresses, redirecting changed pages to relevant replacements, moving content and checking the inquiry process after launch. A proposal should make this work visible so you can compare more than the appearance of the finished site.
Where does the $1,500 website package fit?
My $1,500 one-page website package is a separate, fixed-scope option for a straightforward small-business website.
It includes one marketing page plus a Privacy Policy page, copywriting, mobile design, SEO foundations, a contact form and launch. There is no editing dashboard; multiple service pages or custom functionality require a broader scope.
See the package page for content limits and payment terms. Hosting, domain registration, paid software and ongoing support are separate.
What real projects show about scope
Two websites can both need a redesign while presenting very different problems. My work with Sierra Pallet and Humboldt Moving & Storage illustrates why I scope the work around the business.
Sierra Pallet: making a quote request useful
For Sierra Pallet’s redesign, the work included clearer product and service information and a quote form shaped around commercial buyers.
The form asks for pallet type, quantity, timing and delivery location. The redesign kept useful existing page addresses and used the company’s existing hosting. Testing uncovered a form delivery problem that needed a separate repair and confirmation that inquiries reached the right inbox.
A form that looks finished still needs to reach the people who handle the request.
Humboldt: connecting services, locations and teams
The Humboldt Moving & Storage project brought together moving services, regional information, planning resources and estimate requests in WordPress.
The content needed to reflect actual service boundaries. For example, Reno/Sparks visitors needed an accurate distinction between interstate or international moving and moves entirely within Nevada. The work also included keeping important existing page addresses working, sending visitors from retired pages to relevant replacements, directing estimate requests to the right team and adding custom visual features.
What is included after launch?
My redesign projects typically include 30 days of basic post-launch monitoring to check for bugs, confirm forms work and check that analytics tracking is accurate.
For your longer-term budget, separate the redesign fee from:
- Hosting and domain registration.
- Paid software or third-party services.
- Ongoing maintenance and content updates.
- Additional pages or features.
- Continuing SEO and marketing work.
Your business can retain control of its hosting account and pay the provider directly. I identify relevant third-party costs and responsibilities in the proposal.
An ongoing website care arrangement establishes what happens after that period, including agreed updates, support and improvements.
How to compare website redesign proposals
Before comparing totals, check whether the proposals describe the same work. A lower price may reflect a smaller scope, more content work assigned to you, or fewer responsibilities after launch.
Use these questions to make the differences clear:
| Area | What the proposal should clarify |
|---|---|
| Pages and copy | Which pages are included? Who writes the content and confirms business facts? |
| Features | Which forms, integrations and custom interactions will be built and tested? |
| Existing website | Which URLs and content will be retained? Who handles redirects and migration? |
| Reviews and changes | How does feedback work, what revisions are included, and how is additional work approved? |
| Launch checks | Who tests mobile layouts, inquiry delivery and the agreed analytics setup? |
| Ownership and handoff | Who controls the domain, hosting, files and editing access? |
| Ongoing costs | What is paid separately, and what support is included after launch? |
You do not need to make every technical decision yourself. You do need a clear explanation of what each provider will deliver, what you need to supply and how the work will be checked.
Do you need a full redesign?
A redesign is not always the best use of your budget. A website with a sound structure may need clearer service pages, a better contact process or a focused technical repair.
If you are still deciding, start with the distinction between a redesign and targeted improvements. Understanding the problem helps you choose the right size of project.
Start with a scope you can understand
For an initial conversation, bring your current website, the services and locations it needs to cover, and the problems you want to solve. Mention any editing requirements, custom features or deadlines that matter to your business.
The website planning checklist can help you organize those details.
From there, I can help define a suitable scope and explain the investment behind it.
