Question 1

How much does a website cost?

Accepted Answer

A 1–5 page Website Launch starts at $499 plus $45/mo for managed hosting and care, and multi-page Business sites start at $1,500. Our Growth tier — 8 to 12 pages with advanced SEO, a blog, and lead capture — is $3,500, and full e-commerce or custom builds start at $6,000. Every project is custom-coded from scratch — no WordPress templates, no page builders. The price includes the full website build, SEO foundations optimized for both Google and AI search engines, managed hosting with 99.9% uptime, and ongoing support. We use fixed pricing with no hourly billing and no surprise invoices. Most agencies charge separately for SEO, hosting, and maintenance — at Minuswires, it is all included from day one. We serve startups, new businesses, and companies going through a rebrand across New Jersey and New York City.

Question 2

How long does a project take?

Accepted Answer

A 1–5 page Website Launch can go live in about a week. Most multi-page sites launch in 3 to 6 weeks from kickoff to go-live, and e-commerce platforms or web applications typically take 6 to 12 weeks depending on complexity. We are able to move faster than most agencies because our proprietary platform, Brandlism, handles SEO configuration, growth tracking, and lead generation setup automatically — so engineering time stays focused on building your product. Every project follows a structured process: discovery and strategy in week one, design and prototyping in weeks two and three, then development and launch. We do not rush quality, but we also do not let projects drag on for months. After launch, we continue monitoring performance and optimizing for growth.

Question 3

What makes Minuswires different from other web agencies?

Accepted Answer

Two things. First, you work directly with Mauricio — a senior engineer with 18 years of experience — not a salesperson who hands you off to a junior. Second, we don't just build your site and walk away. Every project includes our own growth system (we call it Brandlism) that keeps you showing up where customers actually look — on Google and the newer AI search tools like ChatGPT — and tracks the leads and traffic your site brings in. Most agencies bolt on a couple of SEO plugins and call it done; we build the site and the system that keeps it working, included on every project, with no lock-in. You own all of it.

Question 4

Do you just build the website, or do you help it grow?

Accepted Answer

Both. Every Minuswires project includes the custom website build plus an ongoing growth system. That means SEO optimization for both traditional Google search and AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. It also includes lead generation with contact forms, lead scoring, and pipeline tracking built into your site from launch. We provide content strategy with AI-assisted editorial calendars, a live growth dashboard showing traffic, conversions, and revenue metrics, and managed hosting with 24/7 monitoring. Our clients have seen results like triple-digit revenue growth within 90 days and six-figure new business traced directly to their website. We do not build websites and walk away — we stay engaged to help your business grow.

Question 5

I'm launching a startup — can you help?

Accepted Answer

Startups are our specialty at Minuswires. We help founders go from idea to launched product with a custom website, SEO, and lead generation already wired in from day one — so you are generating visibility and capturing leads from the moment you go live, not months later. You can start with a 1–5 page Website Launch for $499 + $45/mo or a multi-page Business site from $1,500, and every plan includes everything you need to launch: a conversion-focused website built with custom code, SEO configured for Google and AI search engines, lead capture forms with pipeline tracking, managed hosting, and a growth dashboard. We work with founders across New Jersey and New York City, and we understand the urgency of getting to market quickly. Most startup projects launch in 3 to 6 weeks.

Question 6

Do I own my website and code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You own 100 percent of your website, code, content, and data. There is no lock-in, no proprietary CMS that holds your site hostage, and no contracts that prevent you from leaving. We build with industry-standard technologies like React, Next.js, and Node.js, and we provide full documentation and source code access. If you ever decide to move to a different provider, you take everything with you — no export fees, no restrictions. We also provide your domain management credentials, analytics access, and hosting configuration details. We believe the best way to keep clients is to deliver great results, not to trap them in a walled garden. Our clients stay because they want to, not because they have to.
