Flat-Fee Web Development Pricing

Our flat-fee pricing covers specific, standard work that is part of our day-to-day. This includes:

  • Setting up a WordPress plugin like Gravity Forms or Advanced Custom Fields
  • Making DNS updates
  • Setting up a Google Workspace plan
  • Setting up a third-party email system like Sendgrid
  • Doing an automated import from one Wordpress installation to another
  • Migrating hosts

Web Development Project Rates

For projects, we bill out our quote by each of the 4 stages. Each project comes with hosting and monthly maintenance with options to exceed the allotted maintenance at a discounted rate. When renewal time comes, you can renew at discounted rates or disconnect with us (with no hard feelings). If you choose to host yourself or elsewhere, we’ll be happy to provide you with all the files and information you need to make your transfer successful. We’ll also work with the continuing dev team to make sure everything is set up correctly.

Schedule Your Free Consultation

Projects are done in phases according to the following schedule:

  • Wireframing & Functionality
  • Content Import & Integrations
  • Testing & QA
  • Deployment

Projects include these benefits:

  • 1 year of free hosting
  • 1 hour of maintenance/month
  • Additional development hours available for a discounted rate
  • Reduced hosting renewal costs & bulk-purchase discounts

Website Maintenance Rates

We offer website maintenance packages for existing and new partners. Our monthly website maintenance package includes website backups, website software updates, and server software updates. 1 hour of out-of-scope work is included monthly with each package to cover simple updates to text, images, and functionality. Hourly rates for maintenance partners are discounted.

Website Emergency Rates

Hourly rates mostly cover emergency repair & debugging. This type of rate is typically reserved for the middle-of-the-night “my site went viral on Reddit and my server crashed!” calls. This rate will also be applied for tasks that are limited in scope but not covered by our flat-fee rates.

Our History

In 2015, our founder, Nate Northway, started developing Tumblr themes for his personal blogs. Shortly after, he started a small business and built an e-commerce store to power it. After these early experiences with development, he started taking paid gigs for smaller sites, mostly about local/neighborhood events. After the first sites paid out, he decided to go to school for web development while continuing to freelance.

2016

NNDesign was officially started. In these early times, we built our agency by networking with talented individuals to round out our offerings.

2017

We partnered with a marketing agency that specialized in digital strategy for industrial manufacturers and became their developers.

2018

We started donating work to local non-profits & charities, starting with a website for a music festival to benefit an LGBTQ+ initiative.

2019-2023

We continued donating websites, working with agencies, and building our network.

2024

We relaunched our brand to represent a renewed focus on clarity & simplicity.

2025

We relaunched our website & fully assembled our team of developers, designers, engineers, and strategists.

Beyond 2025

We've dedicated ourselves to driving success by implementing a set of standards and beliefs that drive our company, developed over 10+ years of experience and mentorship.

Our Standards

We hold our standards high and operate based on these principles. This is the core of our business and it’s what makes us and our partners successful.

Our websites are fast, responsive, and accessible.
Our websites are not gimmicky,don’t need explanations for how to use, or change default behavior

Unless the purpose of the website or brand specifically calls for it.

Websites we build are owned by the organization they represent, not the agency that built them

This also applies to services, platforms, and integrations related to the website.

Websites without the core pages (home, about, contact, privacy policy) don’t pass the sniff test - our websites have these core pages
Website owners need to know the worth of the website - we tie traffic to the marketing initiative it’s built to achieve

Usually income, but sometimes other metrics

Our websites are developed by agencies and freelancers, not AI or “all-in-one” programs/platforms
Our websites are not inundated with fluff and the popular technology of the age - they survive trends
Management of our websites is not bogged down with technical knowledge

Anything that’s not common knowledge is documented or standardized so that management can survive individuals.

Our philosophies

We believe in your success
We believe that you are our partner, not just a client
We believe that our varied experiences and backgrounds complement each other and come together to give you best-in-class service and results
We believe in open communication

This means that you can call us, not just email us or contact us through ticketed support (though these options are also available).

We believe that you should know the cost of things, and we believe that you should pay for it directly

We should not be paying your CRM platform bill and invoicing you for it later with a profit margin - your billing relationships should always be direct.

We believe in diversity, equity, and inclusion

This means that we provide opportunities for all to work with us, work for us, and be hired by us. When evaluating a partner, employee, or vendor, we don’t discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexuality, religion, economic status, criminal history, immigration status, nationality, or political affiliation. We hope you do the same.

What Our Partners Are Saying

Facility Now

Nate is not a mere architect of code; he is a digital sorcerer, manipulating the elements of design with an otherworldly finesse. The visuals transcended the boundaries of aesthetics, pushing the envelope of what the mind could conceive. Color schemes bled into one another, creating a synesthetic symphony that resonated in the deepest recesses of my consciousness. 10/10, would Nate again.

Bound Couriers

We reached out to Nate to build our website shortly after we started our business. Nate is not only great with website design but also has a lot of industry experience with courier work. His combination of skills led to a great end result. He has also consistently maintained our website on the day-to-day, making changes upon our request.
