Need a Website Without Spending a Lot?
Website options starting at just $5.99/month.
Sometimes you really do just need a website.
Maybe you’re starting a new business, testing an idea, creating a simple online presence, or you simply don’t need all the additional business technology available through the GSW Business Hub.
That’s okay. Get Started Websites offers affordable Website-Only options too.
But before you choose one, there’s something important you should know.
Before You Choose Website-Only
Will Your Business Need More Than a Website Later?
A low-cost website can be a great choice when a website is truly all you need.
But if you expect your business to eventually need customer management, better communications, automated follow-up, appointment tools, workflows, marketing technology or AI assistance, starting with the GSW Business Hub may save you from rebuilding or moving your website later.
With Business Hub, your website can become part of a broader business system rather than remaining a separate website.
Website + CRM
Keep customer and lead information connected to your business.
Communications
Connect customer communications with the rest of your business system.
Follow-Up & Automation
Reduce repetitive work and help opportunities avoid falling through the cracks.
Scheduling
Connect appointments and customer activity.
Marketing Technology
Add additional marketing capabilities as your business grows.
AI Assistance
Introduce selected AI capabilities when they actually make sense.

Perfect. Keep going.
Add More Later
Start Small. Add More Later If You Need It.
Choosing a Website-Only option does not mean you can never use other Get Started Websites services.
Your website can remain on the Website-Only platform while you add selected GSW services separately as your needs change.
Depending on what you need, additional communications, marketing, AI or other business technology may be available without requiring you to immediately move your website.
If your needs eventually become broader, we can also discuss whether moving into the GSW Business Hub makes sense.

Do It Yourself
The website-building software is designed to make creating your own website easier, even if you are not a web designer or technology expert.
The software guides you through the process and helps you build the pages you need, organize your website, add your text and images, and create the type of online presence you are looking for.
You can start with a simple design, customize it for your business, preview your work and make changes as you go. You remain in control of your website and can make your own updates when needed.
If you get started and decide you would rather have help, you can talk with GSW about professional website services.
Have GSW Build Your Basic Website
Prefer to have GSW put the initial website together for you?
Our basic professional website build starts at $299 and generally covers an initial website of up to five standard pages, such as:
- Home
- About
- Contact
- Services or Products
- One additional standard informational page
You provide the business information, finished written content, logo, photographs/images and other materials you want used on the website. GSW will use the materials you provide to build and organize the agreed pages within the capabilities of the selected website plan.
Copywriting, extensive content editing, custom graphics, advanced customization, ecommerce/store development, large product catalogs, special integrations and other work beyond the agreed basic website are not included in the starting $299 build price.
Additional pages or professional services can be quoted separately when needed.
The starting price covers the agreed initial website build. Ongoing website updates, maintenance and future content changes are not included unless separately purchased or specifically stated.
Planning an Online Store?
Professional ecommerce websites are custom quoted. Store setup can involve products, categories, images, descriptions, pricing, payment configuration, shipping, taxes and other requirements that vary significantly from one business to another.
Domain & Business Email
Don’t Forget Your Domain and Business Email
Your website is only part of your online presence.
GSW can also help you obtain a domain name and professional email for your business. These are separate from the Website-Only subscription and may use a separate account or portal.
We’ll help you understand what you need before you purchase anything.
Domain Names
Your business’s address on the web.
Professional Email
Use an address such as you@yourbusiness.com.
Microsoft 365
Professional email plus Microsoft productivity options when appropriate.
Moving to Business Hub Later
What If I Want to Move to GSW Business Hub Later?
You can.
However, a website built on a separate Website-Only platform may need to be recreated when moving to a GSW Business Hub website rather than simply transferred.
Depending on the website, migration or rebuilding may require additional professional services. The new website may also differ somewhat in design or functionality from the original.
If you already believe Business Hub is where you’re headed, talk with us before building the Website-Only version.
Starting in the right place may save time and expense later.
