Pricing
Two ways to get it. Both simple.
Most clients start with $0 down. Some prefer to own everything from day one. Either way, the price is the price — no hourly invoices, no surprises.
Founding Client Website
$0down to start
$97/mo · months 1–3(founding rate)
$179/mo · months 4–12(standard rate)
One 12-month agreement — the rate step is written in upfront, no re-signing at day 90. After 12 months it’s your choice: stay month-to-month and cancel anytime, or take full ownership and run the site yourself.
Everything a small business needs online — designed, built, hosted, and maintained for one monthly price you see in full before you sign. No build fee, no surprise invoices, no calling a developer for every change.

Founding bonus
Agent-Ready — show up when someone asks ai to find you.
More people every day ask ChatGPT or Google’s AI to “find a local business that can do this today” instead of scrolling results. Agent-Ready structures your site so those AI tools can actually read it, trust it, and recommend you by name.
Free for our first 10 founding clients in exchange for a case study — limited spots remain. After the founding cohort, Agent-Ready becomes a paid add-on.
$0 upfront means exactly that: if we don’t deliver a site you’re proud of before launch, you walk away owing nothing. The full rate schedule — $97/month for months 1–3, then $179/month — is written into the agreement upfront, along with every deliverable and deadline. No hourly invoices, no surprise line items.
Buy-outright projects: 50% upfront, 50% at launch. Care plan begins on go-live.
FAQ
Questions we hear all the time.
How It Works
What every site includes.
Custom Design, Never a Template
Every site starts from a blank page and your brand — not a theme thousands of other businesses already use. If you can sketch it, we can build it.
Hand-Coded and Fast
No WordPress, no page builders, no plugins to break. Hand-written code means your site loads instantly, ranks better, and never nags you about updates.
Everything Handled For You
Hosting, domain, SSL, edits, and support are all included. Need a change? Email us and it's done — no tickets, no hourly invoices, no touching code.
From first call to launch.
Call
A 15-minute conversation about your business, your customers, and what your site needs to do.
Design
We design your site around your brand and send you a preview to react to — before anything is built.
Build
Hand-coded, mobile-first, and tested. You see progress at a real URL, not screenshots.
Launch
Live in 2–4 weeks on your domain. After launch, edits are one email away.
Founder
Brian Jones
Founder, DFPP Agency
I'm a builder, not an account manager. DFPP isn't just a name — it's short for Desire, Faith, Planning, and Persistence, the four things that got this agency off the ground. Here's what each one means to how I build.
Desire
It started with a simple frustration: watching small businesses get quoted five figures and six-week timelines for a website that should take days. I wanted to build something better — and prove a solo builder could do it right.
Faith
I believed a small business deserved a website as good as anything a big agency ships, without the big-agency price or runaround. That belief is still the compass, even when it means turning down shortcuts that look good today and break tomorrow.
Planning
Every project starts with a plan, not a template — the pages, the performance budget, the SEO structure, the maintenance plan, mapped out before a single line of code. A fast launch that falls apart in six months isn't a win for anyone.
Persistence
DFPP Agency runs on persistence as much as skill. The person who designs, codes, and maintains your site is the same person who answers the phone — no hand-offs, no account managers. I'm based in Kansas City, but the businesses I build for are all over the country.
Beyond the website
Business Automation Suite
Online booking, Automated appointment reminders, Quote-to-invoice workflows — one integrated system for $149/mo + $199 setup. Replaces $150–$400/month in separate tools, no per-user fees. An optional add-on; custom workflows beyond the suite are scoped on a call.
Real Estate Listing Films
Cinematic property films built from the photos you already have — no shoot required, 48-hour turnaround, from $349.
SEO Retainers
Already have a site that isn't ranking? Quarterly audits, competitor analysis, and content briefs as a monthly service.
