Cost guide · Creative & portfolio
What a creative studio website costs.
Your portfolio site is judged before a single image finishes loading. Typography, spacing, pacing, and the speed of the first gallery all tell a prospective client whether your taste can be trusted with their project. We treat the site itself as a piece in the portfolio, then get out of the way and let the work speak. For creatives and studios, a custom website from GEO Marketing Group starts around $3,500, most scopes are quoted near $6,000, and larger builds reach $12,000, with every project fixed in writing before work begins.
Quick answer
A creative studio website from GEO Marketing Group typically costs between $3,500 and $12,000, with $6,000 the planning midpoint most creative studio scopes are quoted near. The figure moves with page count, the features creatives and studios need, and connections to tools such as Pixieset, HoneyBook, Dubsado, Cloudinary, or Instagram. Every project is quoted to a written scope, and you own the finished site outright.

What moves the quote
The features creatives and studios usually need.
Each of these is real design and build work. Including one moves the quote toward the top of the range; deferring one, or already having it, moves the quote down.
- →Gallery and case-study layouts composed around your actual work rather than a stock grid
- →Responsive image pipeline that serves sharp, appropriately sized files to every screen
- →Project pages with the brief, the process, and the result in your own words
- →Services and process page, with starting rates if you publish them, to qualify inquiries before they arrive
- →Inquiry form that asks for budget, timeline, and project type, routed to your inbox or client tool
- →Publishing flow simple enough that a new project goes live without touching code
Integrations that add scope
Connecting the site to what creatives and studios already run on.
A handful of integrations is routine and priced into most scopes. A tangle of older systems takes more care, and we say so in the quote rather than discovering it later.
