What an event website costs
You're probably running this on a volunteer budget. You should be able to see what it costs without a sales call. Every price is here, including the option to pay once and never get a yearly bill.
- $900 to start
- Season plans from $600 a year
- Or own it outright
Build it, one time
Three builds. Pick the size of your show.
A build is a one-time price for a site made for your event. Each tier includes everything in the one before it.
Most shows
Full Show Site
$2,400
The one most shows want
- Everything in Single Page
- Multiple pages, full itinerary
- Sponsor tiers and a logo wall
- Photo galleries
- Grounds map and FAQ
Show Platform
$3,500and up
When the site runs the show
- Everything in Full Show Site
- Online registration and entry lists
- Vendor and swap meet applications
- Announcement banner you post yourself
- Organizer dashboard with live visitor numbers
Sponsor tiers and a linked logo wall come with the Full Show Site. I don't sell a separate sponsor portal; a show this size doesn't need sponsor logins.
Optional: Signature
Want one that moves?
The same build with a motion design pass on top: depth, scroll-driven sections, headlines that arrive instead of just sitting there. It takes a few weeks instead of days, and it costs more than the tiers above. Have a look before you decide whether that's worth it to your show.
Add-ons
Bolt on only what your show needs.
Each add-on is a flat one-time price on top of any build. Registration, applications and the banner are what the Show Platform tier bundles.
-
Online registration and entry list
$700
If you already run entries through CarShowPro or something like it, I wire the site to it so every page drives entrants there. If you'd rather own the whole thing, I build the entry form into the site and the list comes to you.
-
Vendor and swap meet applications
$500
An application form for vendors and swap meet spaces.
-
Announcement banner with organizer login
$400
You post a notice and it shows across every page of the site the moment you post it. Useful when the date, the venue or the weather changes.
-
Raffle prize page
$250
A page for the prize lineup. It's a page, not a ticketing system.
-
Past-year galleries
$300
Last year's photos, kept online between shows so they keep selling this year's.
-
Social flyer generator
$400
A tool that builds share-ready social graphics right in the browser.
Keep it running, yearly
Your show is one weekend. Your website is twelve months.
That's why this is a season plan, not a monthly bill. You're not paying for edits in February you don't need. One yearly price keeps the site live, current, and ready when registration opens.
Off-Season plan
$600/yr
- Hosting, SSL, domain management
- Daily backups and monitoring
- Next year's dates and venue updated
- Stays live between shows

No recurring fees at all
Or own it outright
+$900 one time, added to the build price
Some committees can't carry a recurring line item, and that's fine. Pay once and the site is yours. I hand over every file, register the domain in your organization's name, and set you up on your own hosting account so nothing bills through me ever again.
What you get
- Every file, yours to keep
- Domain in your organization's name
- Your own hosting account, set up and running
- No invoice from me ever again
What you take on
- Your own hosting bill, usually $0 on the free tier
- Renewing your own domain, about $15 a year
- Changes are $250 per round whenever you want them
- Nobody's watching it if something breaks
Most shows still take the season plan, because dates move, sponsors sign late, and somebody has to change it. But if you'd rather buy it and be done, buy it and be done.
Terms and payments
See it before you pay for it.
I build the real, finished site first. You look at it on your own phone, click every button, take it to your committee. If they don't want it, you don't pay the balance and we shake hands. That's the whole risk.
Half to start, half when the site goes live. Season plans run a year at a time and renew only if the organizer says so.
-
Your organization owns the domain
It's registered in your organization's name, in your own account.
-
Money never passes through me
Entry fees and sponsor payments route through a processor your organization controls: Stripe, PayPal, or your existing bank.

Straight answers
Three questions organizers ask about the money
Our show is once a year. Why pay for twelve months?
Because the site works hardest when the show isn't happening. That's when people are deciding whether to come, sponsors are budgeting, and last year's gallery is doing your selling. A site that goes dark for ten months looks abandoned by the time registration opens. The season plan is priced for that reality: one yearly figure, not a monthly bill you resent in February.
Can I just pay once and be done with it?
Yes. Add $900 to the build and the site is yours outright: every file handed over, the domain registered in your organization's name, and your own hosting account set up so nothing bills through me again. Hosting is usually free at your size; the domain runs about $15 a year. When you need changes later, they're $250 per round. Most shows still take the season plan because dates move and sponsors sign late, but if a recurring line item won't clear your committee, this is a real option and I won't talk you out of it.
Who owns the site and the domain?
You do. The domain is registered in your organization's name, in your own account. I manage it for you, but I don't hold it hostage. If you ever want to leave, I hand off the files and help you move it.
Rather just talk it through?
Pick a time that works. Twenty minutes, no pitch: your dates, your venue, and what went sideways last year. Or read about who builds these sites, or look at the events side of Dispatch.
