Custom websites for restaurants, practices, shops and studios. Each one is designed from a blank page for one business, then handed over to you.
$1,000 for up to five pages, paid once. That’s less than a year on Squarespace’s top plan, and the design is done for you.

Off the rack
Website builders are good at what they sell, which is tools. Most people pick a template, fill in the boxes, and end up with a site that looks a lot like the template.
That’s fine for plenty of businesses. It’s a problem when the way you do things is the reason people choose you. So we start with the business, the room, the menu, the way you talk to clients, and cut the site to fit.

How each one was designedWho you’ll work with
Nimblor is a small studio, so you deal directly with the people designing and building your site.
You’ll get a written scope before you pay anything, a design to react to, a working site to try, and the keys at the end: code, logins and a page of instructions.
How a project runsRent a website,
or own one.
A pay-monthly service designs your site and charges you for it every month. A builder rents you the tools and leaves the design to you. We design it, build it and hand it over, for one fee.
- Pay-monthly web service
- $4,644
- Designed for you, but rented. Stop paying and the site usually goes with it.
- Nimblor
- $1,000 to $1,720
- Designed, built and yours. The range is your hosting, from free tiers to $20 a month.

Builder prices are Squarespace and Wix plans billed annually. Pay-monthly and agency figures are typical published 2026 ranges, not quotes; yours will vary. If you enjoy building it yourself, a builder is a fine choice.
When a photo
isn’t enough.
For Aster we modelled the lamp in Blender and wrote a small WebGL viewer for it. Turn it around, look at how the arm meets the shade, swap the finish. No plugin, no app.
Motion and 3D are quoted on top of the base site. They take real time to do well, and not every business needs them.
One price,
in writing.
Pick the website. Add editing if you want to make changes yourself, and care if you’d rather we looked after it.
The website
Custom design and build. Up to five pages, one visual direction, two rounds of revisions and 30 days of fixes.
Edit it yourself
A content admin for the parts you change often, with preview, publishing and history. Two staff accounts and a recorded walkthrough.
Leave the upkeep to us
Monitoring, monthly maintenance and backup review, plus up to an hour of small edits or troubleshooting.
Half to book, half when we agree it’s finished. Hosting, your domain and any third-party services are billed to you directly, in your name. Original 3D, advanced motion and custom integrations are quoted separately. Full scope

Fair questions.
Is it really custom for $1,000?
Yes. No themes and no page builders. We keep the price down by keeping the scope tight: up to five pages, one visual direction and two revision rounds. Bigger projects get their own quote.
What will I pay after launch?
Hosting and your domain, billed to you by those providers. For a small site, hosting runs from free tiers to around $20 a month, and we’ll give you the exact figures before you book. Care is optional at $199 a month.
Can I update it myself?
Add the content admin and you can edit the agreed text and images, preview changes and publish them, with two staff accounts. If you’d rather not, care includes an hour of small edits a month, and anything bigger gets a quote first.
Do I own it?
Yes. The source code, configuration and accounts are yours, and you can remove our access whenever you like. You don’t need to keep paying us for the site to stay up.
How long does it take?
We agree the schedule in writing before you pay anything. The biggest factor is usually how soon the copy and photos are ready.
Do you build online stores?
Custom commerce is scoped separately. The Aster study shows how we like to present a product.
