What a website costs in Bend, by posted price
Most Bend designers quote per project, but a handful publish their numbers. These are straight from their own sites in October 2026.
| Who | Posted price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| MoonHouse Media | $1,500 to start, then $300 or $400 a month | WordPress site plus 2 or 4 social posts a month; the $400 plan adds ad management |
| Inspired Melissa | From $5,000; $1,500 per 10 hours after | Design, writing, setup and launch; her hourly rate is $189 |
| Just By Design | $6,500+, most $6,500 to $15,000 | Custom WordPress with SEO, schema and AI-search structure |
| Coulee Creative | Most projects $5,000 to $30,000 | Custom sites and Shopify stores, 4 to 12 weeks |
| Savy (bigger budgets) | Projects $15,000 to $75,000 | Full-service agency; see our hub for the all-in-one firms |
Budget rule of thumb: the build is the smaller half. Hosting, plugin licenses, updates and small edits usually run every month, so ask for the monthly number before you compare quotes.

WordPress, Shopify, Webflow or Squarespace?
WordPress
What most Bend designers build on. Flexible, cheap to host, huge plugin library. Needs updates or it gets hacked, so budget for maintenance.
In Bend: Hilary Popham, Laura Bowly, Inspired Melissa, Kate Miller, Just By Design, Bend Pro Web, MoonHouse
Shopify
The easy answer if you sell physical products online, ship gear or run a subscription. Monthly fees and app costs add up but checkout just works.
In Bend: Coulee Creative, Graphic Heart, Litehouse
Webflow
Design-forward sites your team can edit visually without breaking the layout. Higher monthly hosting than WordPress, fewer security chores.
In Bend: fare·well
Squarespace or Wix
Fine for a simple brochure site you run yourself. You can always hand it to a designer later; just keep the same page addresses or redirect them.

What a Bend business website needs that templates miss
Seasonal hours, front and center
Summer patio hours, winter closures, holiday weeks and smoke or snow days. Put a dated banner at the top and change your Google Business Profile hours the same day.
A page for each town you serve
If you drive to Redmond, Sisters, Sunriver, La Pine and Tumalo, give each its own page with real jobs or details there. One “we serve Central Oregon” line won't rank.
Built for phones on the go
Visitors look you up from a trailhead parking lot or a hotel room. Tap-to-call, a map link and your menu or price list should load first, not a full-screen video.
Booking that works with what you use
Tours, salons, restaurants and clinics live and die by online booking. Ask whether the designer has wired in your exact system before, not just “a booking plugin.”
Real photos of Bend
Stock photos of mountains that aren't ours get noticed. Your own crew, space and work beat anything generic. See the video guide for local shooters.
Redirects if you are replacing a site
Every old page address needs a 301 redirect to its new home, or you lose the Google rankings you already earned. Ask for the redirect list in writing.

FAQ
Questions Bend owners ask
How much does a website cost in Bend, Oregon?
From posted prices in October 2026: about $1,500 up front for a starter WordPress site with a small monthly plan (MoonHouse Media), $5,000 and up for a custom small-business site (Inspired Melissa, whose own estimate for Bend is $3,000 to $12,000), $6,500 to $15,000 at Just By Design, and $5,000 to $30,000 at Coulee Creative. Plan on hosting and updates every month after launch too.
Should I hire a Bend designer or use Squarespace or Wix myself?
If you have one location, a simple menu of services and time to write your own copy, a template builder is fine to start. Hire someone local when you need bookings or a store wired in, more than one service area, or you keep putting the site off. Inspired Melissa runs DIY website classes if you want help doing it yourself.
Which Bend web designers build Shopify stores?
Coulee Creative calls Shopify its specialty. Graphic Heart Design Studio and Litehouse also build Shopify stores, and Litehouse and Laura Bowly Design build WooCommerce stores on WordPress.
Who builds Webflow sites in Bend?
fare·well is the Bend agency that leads with Webflow, including SEO and accessibility work.
Do I need to worry about ADA website accessibility?
Yes. Accessibility lawsuits over websites are common nationally, and an accessible site is easier for everyone to use. Ask any designer how they test against WCAG. fare·well lists ADA/WCAG compliance as a service, and Kate Miller Design builds for public agencies that need it.
What happens to my Google rankings when I redesign?
They can drop if old page addresses disappear. Before launch, make sure your designer maps every old URL to its new one with 301 redirects, keeps your Google Business Profile link pointing at the right page, and resubmits the sitemap in Google Search Console.
Who owns my website when it is done?
You should. Register the domain in your own name, ask for admin access to the site and the hosting account, and get in writing that the design files and content are yours once you have paid.
How we checked
We read every designer's own website in October 2026 for services, location and any posted prices. We dropped two names from our old list: Bend Web Design (the site was down) and Norman (no Bend connection we could find). The custom app builders moved to our app development guide.
Updated October 21, 2026. Nobody paid to be listed here. Prices change, so confirm with the business before you sign anything. Suggest a fix or a business we missed.
