Frequently asked questions
How much does a small business website cost?+
A custom small-business website from Bizfloo is a flat one-time fee starting at $250 for a Starter site, $350–$500 for a Professional site with bookings and payments, and $500–$1,000 for an Enterprise platform with portals and AI. There are no monthly platform fees — optional hosting + maintenance starts at $30/month if you want it managed.
What's the difference between a custom website and a Wix or Squarespace site?+
Custom sites load 3–5× faster, rank better in local search, and aren't locked behind a monthly subscription you can never cancel. With Wix or Squarespace you rent the platform; with Bizfloo you own the code, the database, and your customer data outright.
How long does it take to build a small business website?+
Most Starter sites launch in 1–2 weeks. Professional builds with booking and payments take 2–4 weeks. Enterprise platforms with custom portals run 4–8 weeks. We start the day intake is approved, and you see the in-progress site on a live preview link before it ships.
Do you work with small businesses outside Raleigh, NC?+
Yes. Bizfloo is headquartered in Raleigh but we build for small businesses across the United States — restaurants in Florida, contractors in Virginia, salons in Texas, e-commerce brands shipping nationwide. Everything is delivered remotely with weekly check-ins.
What features should a small business website have?+
At minimum: a clear homepage, a contact form with phone/email, a service or product catalog, mobile-responsive design, basic local SEO, and Google Analytics. For most service businesses we also recommend online booking, online payments, a Google reviews module, and an admin portal to update content yourself.
Will my website rank on Google?+
Every Bizfloo site ships with technical SEO baked in — proper meta tags, sitemap, structured data, page-speed optimization, and mobile-first design. Long-term ranking depends on content + backlinks, which we cover with the optional Marketing plan ($250/mo).
Can I edit the website myself after launch?+
Professional and Enterprise tiers include a built-in admin portal where you can update text, add services, manage bookings, and post photos. Starter sites use simple structured content that we update for you (1 round/month included for the first year).
