Starting rates are published: hourly from $55, most project work from $150, websites from $650. The final number depends on scope, and you get it after a short conversation rather than a discovery-call runaround. What moves the number is the size of the job, whether copy and photography already exist, how fast you need it, and whether you want support afterwards. Everything is quoted flat and in writing before work begins.
Then that gets said on the first call rather than three weeks into a project. Sometimes the honest answer is that the work you need is smaller than you think, or belongs with someone else.
No. Many clients come with ideas, challenges, or uncertainty. Part of the role is helping you gain clarity.
The first step is a conversation about your goals, challenges, and opportunities, followed by a recommendation for the best next step.
Jpetrous Creative Services is based in Casco, Macomb County, Michigan, and works with businesses across Macomb, St. Clair, Oakland and Wayne counties and the wider Metro Detroit area. The studio is remote, so there is no walk-in office, and in-person kickoffs happen at your place of business.
A conversation first, then whatever brand assets and content already exist. If they do not exist, creating them becomes part of the scope and is quoted up front.
Jon Petrous does. Jpetrous Creative Services is a one-person studio: no account manager, no junior, and no offshore subcontractor. The person on your first call is the person doing the work.
Most small business websites built by Jpetrous Creative Services fall between $650 and $1,500, quoted as a fixed price before any work starts. What moves the number: how many pages you need, whether usable copy and photography already exist, whether anything has to connect to other software such as a CRM or booking system, how fast you need it live, and whether you want support after launch. A five page site for an established trades business with existing photos sits near the bottom of that range. A forty page site that needs copy written, a CMS structured for ongoing publishing and a HubSpot connection sits above it. You will know which before you commit, because the quote comes first and it does not move unless the scope does.
