Updated September 2026

The short answer: Kanyon Studio builds San Diego websites starting from $700, quoted flat from your brief, on Webflow, Shopify, Wix, or Squarespace. Design, build, mobile optimization, schema markup, Google SEO, AI search optimization, and launch are included in every project. The exact number depends on scope, and it comes back within 24 hours.

Why the number is quoted rather than tiered

Two five-page sites can be completely different jobs. One is five straightforward sections with copy the owner already wrote. The other needs a booking flow, a CMS, new photography and a migration off an old platform without losing rankings. Charging both the same either overcharges one or underprices the other, so every project is scoped and quoted flat instead.

What actually moves the price

  • Scope. How many pages, and how much of the site is a repeating template versus a custom layout.
  • E-commerce. Product catalogs, payments, and shipping logic add real build time.
  • Content. If copy and photography need to be created, hiring a studio that also shoots product photography saves a second vendor.
  • Migration. Moving off Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress means preserving URLs and redirecting anything retired, which is real SEO work.
  • Integrations. Booking flows, payment processing, CRM connections, and custom functionality are quoted on top.

What is included in every build

  • Custom design, not a template
  • Mobile optimization and speed tuning
  • Schema markup and technical SEO
  • AI search optimization: llms.txt, structured content, and citation-ready pages
  • A platform you can edit yourself without a developer
  • Launch, redirects, and search console setup

What a project looks like in practice

A simple launch site with hero, services, proof, pricing and a booking path is the entry point at $700 and typically goes live in two to three weeks. A standard small-business site with home, services, about, portfolio and contact plus a blog CMS runs higher and takes about four weeks. A multi-service site with location pages and full content structure takes four to six. Full stores and large catalogs are quoted after a free consult.

Why a site built to be found is worth pricing like a hire

A template site that never appears in Google or ChatGPT costs you every customer who searched and did not find you. A site built to be found earns visits every day it is live. See the full web design service, run the free AI-readiness audit, or book a build.
