onedaywebsite.ca started out doing Wordpress sites for $299 back in 2011. It turns out that going for the cheapest also means the cheapest and heaviest complaining clients. We now charge $5k yearly as a base, but we not only convert static sites over to Jamstack (from wix/wordpress/squarespace) but we help with business and conversion throughout the year (SEO, SEM, optimization). We've never advertised in over a decade, it's all through word of mouth referrals. Entertainingly, our website sucks, but again, we've never got a customer through the website yet, but if things ever slow down we'll likely work on that, "eating our own dog food"...
