Small businesses know they need a website — but many hesitate because of the high costs charged by big web design agencies.
Traditional agencies often charge $5,000–$15,000 upfront for a website. For a local restaurant, contractor, or shop in Florida, that price is often out of reach.
But there’s a new model: affordable monthly web design subscriptions, where businesses get a professional website without the huge upfront investment.
So, what’s right for your small business? Let’s compare.

If you’re a small business in Navarre, Pensacola, or Destin, chances are you don’t need a $10,000 agency site. What you need is:
A professional online presence.
A website that ranks locally on Google.
Affordable monthly costs that don’t drain your budget.
That’s where Brightline Web Design’s subscription model fits perfectly.
Big agencies have their place — but for most small businesses, they’re overkill. Why pay thousands upfront when you can get everything you need in an affordable monthly plan?
