How the Borg Sites Estimator Prices Your Project

What the Borg Sites Estimator Is and How It Works

The Borg Sites estimator is a free, no-pressure tool that gives you a clear price for your website project. It considers factors such as the number of pages, design type, and features to provide a detailed estimate.

A walkthrough of the questions and why each one affects the price will help you understand how the estimator works. The questions are designed to gather information about your project requirements, and each answer moves the estimated price accordingly.

For example, choosing a custom-themed design will increase the price compared to a template-based design. Similarly, adding features such as a blog or e-commerce functionality will also affect the price.

The Pricing Models: One-Time Builds and Monthly Plans

Borg Sites offers a range of one-time build options, including Spark, Orbit, Galaxy, and Nebula. Each option includes a range of features and inclusions, such as template-based design, custom-themed design, and fully bespoke design.

The Spark option is priced at $750 for up to 5 pages, while the Orbit option is priced at $1,800 for up to 10 pages. The Galaxy option is priced at $3,900 for up to 15 pages, and the Nebula option is custom-quoted for unlimited scope.

In addition to the one-time build options, Borg Sites also offers monthly site plans, including Spark Lite, which is priced at $12.99/month for a simple site of up to 3 light pages.

Monthly Site Plans: Spark Lite and Borg Care

Spark Lite is a monthly site plan that includes hosting, security essentials, and daily backups. It is suitable for simple sites with up to 3 light pages.

Borg Care plans, on the other hand, offer a range of features and inclusions for growing and busy sites. The plans include hosting, security essentials, and daily backups, as well as additional features such as WAF managed rules, advanced bot management, and priority support.

The Borg Care plans are priced at $29/month for the Lite plan, $79/month for the Pro plan, and $199/month for the Max plan.

Add-ons and Extras: What's Included and What's Not

Add-ons and extras are available to enhance your website project, but are not included in the base price. These include features such as extra pages, logo and brand identity kits, professional copywriting, and SEO launch packages.

The prices for these add-ons vary, with extra pages priced at $120 per page, logo and brand identity kits priced at $450, and professional copywriting priced at $90 per page.

It's essential to review the add-ons and extras carefully to ensure you understand what's included and what's not, and to choose the ones that best fit your project requirements.

Reading the Price Sheet: Understanding the Numbers

Understanding the price sheet is crucial to calculating the total cost of your project. The price sheet includes the one-time build price, monthly site plan price, and add-on prices.

It's essential to review the usage allowance and overage rates, as these can affect the total cost of your project. The usage allowance is the amount of resources allocated to your site, and overage rates apply if your site exceeds this allowance.

By carefully reviewing the price sheet and understanding the numbers, you can make informed decisions about your project and avoid unexpected costs.

What to Do Next: Getting Started with Your Project

Once you have a clear understanding of the price of your website project, you can get started with the build process. This involves working with the Borg Sites team to design and build your site, and choosing the features and add-ons that best fit your project requirements.

It's essential to prepare for the launch of your website by reviewing the final design and content, and testing the site to ensure it meets your expectations.

By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth and successful launch of your website.
