What a Website Costs on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 2026

What people here actually pay

A Biloxi contractor, a Gulfport clinic, and an Ocean Springs shop are not shopping the same catalog as a SaaS founder in Austin. They need a site that loads on a phone in the casino parking lot, shows the hours, and makes the next call obvious.

Here is the menu we publish on saltmarshdigital.com. We are based in Gautier. We do this work in Harrison, Jackson, and Hancock counties every week.

• One-page site — $1,500 one-time, 5 business days, you own it. Who you are, what you do, proof, call, hours. Hosting year one.
• Business website — from $3,500 (up to 6 pages; $400 per extra page). About two weeks. You own it. 50% to start, 50% at launch.
• Care Plan — $150/month add-on for owned sites. Hosting, backups, monitoring, 30 minutes of edits.
• The Care Plan — $150/month after launch. Hosting, backups, monitoring, security updates, and up to thirty minutes of edits. Month to month. Cancel and keep the site. Facebook ads are an add-on at $250/month per active campaign, plus what you pay Meta.
• Custom software — Scoping Sprint $2,500, credited if you proceed. Builds typically start at $10,000.

Why a $299 template still costs you

A template is cheap until someone on Pass Road searches your trade and lands on a page that looks like every other page. They bounce. You never hear about it.

The other hidden bill is ownership. If a freelancer built it on their account, you do not have the login. If an agency rented you a site, you find out when you try to leave. Our answer is the boring one: every site we build is yours outright — domain, files, hosting account. The Care Plan is a service on top of a thing you own, not a lease on a thing you do not.

What the business website is for

The business website is not a prettier Squarespace. It is strategy, design, Google Business Profile, on-page SEO and AEO, and lead tracking for established service and storefront businesses — the ones people look up before they call. Photography is in house and quoted per shoot.

We only onboard two clients a week. That is capacity, not a countdown clock. If you are a newer shop that just needs to be findable, start with the one-page. You can upgrade later. We will credit recent project work when the next level makes sense.

How to choose without a sales call first

If the next step is a phone call and you have one location, a one-page site is enough. If you have services, a team, and a story, buy the business website and add the Care Plan so it stays right. If you want more calls than word of mouth brings, add Facebook ads. If the spreadsheet is the business, that is custom software.
