Let’s Talk About Budget - Without the Awkwardness

Talking about money can feel weird.
Like… “first-date splitting-the-check” weird.

But when it comes to websites, budget conversations don’t have to be uncomfortable.
In fact, they’re super helpful – for both of us.

💰 Why Budget Isn’t a Dirty Word

Let’s flip the script:
Budget doesn’t mean “how little can I spend?”
It means how can we get the best results with the resources you’ve got?

Whether you’re working with $500 or $5,000, knowing your range helps me:

  • Recommend services that make the biggest impact
  • Suggest tools that are a smart fit for your goals
  • Build a plan that respects your time and money


It’s not about limiting your vision – it’s about shaping it to fit your real-world needs.

🧩 What I Do With Your Budget Info

When I hear your budget, I don’t mentally assign a number of hours and call it a day.

Instead, I start thinking through:

  • What matters most to your business right now
  • Which features will give you the most value
  • What we can prioritize now and phase in later


The goal isn’t to cram everything into a number – it’s to make that number work smarter.

🙃 What Happens When People Don’t Talk Budget

Here’s what I’ve seen happen when someone says, “I don’t really have a budget in mind…”

  • They get overwhelmed by options
  • They receive quotes that don’t match their expectations
  • They delay the project – or give up altogether thinking it’s out of reach

It doesn’t have to be like that.
Even a ballpark is better than guessing.

🧠 Real Talk: I’m Not an Agency (That’s a Good Thing)

I don’t charge $100+/hour like some agencies.
I don’t upsell for the sake of it.
I don’t do surprise invoices.

What I do offer is honest pricing, clear scopes, and flexibility that makes sense.

If you’re not sure what’s possible with your budget?
That’s okay – we’ll figure it out together.
