We build websites. Properly, in code.
Designed, built, and kept running in San Diego.
Hand-built. From $500.
Written from scratch, in code. No WordPress, no page builders, no themes, and nothing that breaks when a plugin updates itself overnight.
Designed for the phone first.
Where nearly everyone will actually see it.
Ours to keep running.
Hosting, security, and updates at $49/mo, 12 month minimum term, and a person who already knows your build.
Your site's care plan begins at checkout. After 12 months it continues month to month, and you can cancel anytime.
Websites
Three sizes, and one of them is yours.
Every one is custom-coded. The tier is how many pages and how much machinery sits behind them, not how good the site is allowed to look.
Landing site
$500
plus $49/mo, 12 month minimum term
A single page that does one job.

- Written with us, not filled into a template
- Mobile-first, and fast on a phone on a jobsite
- Contact or enquiry form wired up
- Domain setup included
Business site
$1,000
plus $49/mo, 12 month minimum term
Up to five pages. The one most businesses need.

Premium build
$1,500
plus $49/mo, 12 month minimum term

The care plan
Site Care and Hosting, $49/mo

Bigger than three tiers
Custom or e-commerce build, From $2,500
Advanced scope, quoted after we understand it. Tell us what it has to do and we will tell you what it costs before you commit to anything.
Self-fulfilled. We design, build, and host your e-commerce store; you handle all fulfillment, inventory, and shipping of what you sell. The Collective does not fulfill for e-commerce website clients.
Graphic and brand design is priced separately, per piece or from a credit pack. Moving a site you already have costs less than building a new one.
E-commerce
You run the business. We run the store.
Built for you, not by you.
Shopify hands you a theme editor and a help center. We design and build the store around your brand, your products, and how you actually sell. You never touch a template, a plugin, or a settings page. Your first job on launch day is announcing it, not finishing it.
One price, not an app stack.
A working Shopify store is rarely $39 a month. It's the plan plus a reviews app, an email app, a shipping app, each with its own subscription, until the stack costs more than the plan. What those apps sell separately, we build in: live UPS rates at checkout, real order management, clean product pages, lead capture. One build price, $49 a month for hosting, security, updates, and content edits. That's the whole bill.
12 month minimum term, then month to month.
Faster to live, faster to change.
No learning curve, no evenings lost to theme documentation. You send products and photos; we build. After launch, changes are a text to us, not a weekend in an editor.
A real commerce backend, not a page with a buy button.
Checkout, live carrier rates, order tracking, and fulfillment tooling run on the same platform that processes orders for our own stores every day. You ship your own products; the machinery behind the sale is already proven.
A person, not a ticket queue.
You know who built your store and you can reach him. Veteran owned, San Diego based, and your store is our reputation.

Project overview
A month-long walking challenge needed a home that could tell its story and sell its collection in the same place. We designed and built the site here, in code, and it went live on its own domain in time for October.
Two more things we do.
Graphic and brand design.
A wordmark, a logo, or a full brand kit. Priced per piece or from a credit pack.
Bring the site you already have.
Move it here as it stands for $250, with a redesign for $750, or start it over at new-build pricing with the transfer free.
Selling, rather than a site
Want to sell something? That depends who you are.
We run free storefronts for youth baseball and softball leagues, and only for them. For everyone else selling online, the answer is an e-commerce website: we design, build, and host it, and you handle fulfillment, inventory, and shipping.
