  • Monitoring and recovery checks where the site's systems support them
  • First-line diagnosis and practical repairs when an existing page or feature stops working
  • Async help by email or a shared workspace

Full redesigns

Fixed prices, with useful starting points.

These bands are grounded in prices Stoa has actually proposed—not teaser rates. Scope, content volume, migration, integrations, and organizational complexity determine the final fixed fee; population alone does not.

  • Community nonprofit

    A focused information site with a manageable content library; recent proposals landed at $12K and $16K.

    $12K–$16K

  • Compact civic site

    A township, small district, or single-purpose public site with a narrow service set.

    $8K–$14K

  • Town, small city, or public program

    More departments, content migration, forms, documents, and public-service workflows.

    $12K–$24K

  • Mid-sized city, county, or district

    A broader organization with deeper navigation, records, integrations, and governance needs.

    $24K–$35K

  • Large city or complex multi-site organization

    Large content systems, multiple audiences or sites, substantial migration, and custom tools.

    $40K–$50K+

Project payments

A sane payment rhythm.

For new direct nonprofit and private projects up to $20,000, Stoa’s standard schedule is 50% at the signed agreement to reserve the work, 25% at design approval, and 25% when the site is launch-ready. Invoices are due within 15 days; final payment is due before launch.

  1. 50%Reserve and begin
  2. 25%Approve the design
  3. 25%Launch-ready, before launch

Larger direct projects use four milestones: 30% at the signed agreement, 25% at design approval, 25% at working-build and content-migration completion, and 20% when launch-ready.

Public contracts follow the agency’s required milestones and payment terms, commonly Net 30 after acceptance. ACH or bank transfer is preferred for project invoices.
