1. The build — what we charge
Fixed prices, published. The setup fee is one time; the monthly is optional maintenance.
| Package | Setup | Monthly | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Storefront | $2,995 | — | 10–15 business days |
| Brand Launch | $5,995 | $199 | 20–30 business days |
| Supply & Operations | $9,995 | $399 | 30–45 business days |
| Growth Partner | $15,000 | $999 | 45–60 business days |
| Multi-Brand Platform | From $25,000 | Quoted | 6–12 weeks |
| Growth Marketing | — | $1,500–$3,500 | Ongoing |
2. Running the site — what it costs whether or not we are involved
These go to the vendors directly, not to us. A site built by anyone costs roughly this to keep online.
| Item | Typical cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Domain registration | $12–$40/yr | More for a premium or aftermarket domain |
| Hosting | $0–$20/mo | Vercel and Netlify free tiers genuinely cover a marketing site |
| Business email | $6–$12/user/mo | Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 |
| Transactional email | $0–$20/mo | Resend, Postmark, or SendGrid for form notifications |
| Analytics | $0–$50/mo | GA4 is free; Plausible or Fathom if you want privacy-first |
| CRM | $0–$100/mo | Free tiers are usually sufficient below a few hundred contacts |
| Booking tool | $0–$15/mo | Cal.com and Calendly both have workable free tiers |
| Error monitoring | $0–$26/mo | Optional, and worth it once you have real traffic |
Realistic total for a single-brand marketing site: $40 to $80 per month, plus the domain annually.
3. The costs that are not the website at all
This is the part that surprises people, and it is the reason we publish it. The professional services around a peptide business routinely cost more than the website, and none of it is money you can pay us. Budget for it separately or the site will sit finished and unlaunchable.
The ranges below are what operators commonly report. They vary enormously by state, by model, and by how complicated your specific structure is. Treat them as a planning figure, get quotes, and do not assume the low end.
Plan for these separately
- Business entity formation — $100 to $800 plus state fees
- Legal review of your model and site copy — $1,500 to $10,000+
- Trademark search and filing — $1,000 to $3,000 per class
- Commercial and professional liability insurance — $500 to $5,000/yr
- Accounting and bookkeeping setup — $500 to $2,500
- Payment processing setup for a high-risk category — $0 to $2,000 plus higher rates
- Product photography — $500 to $3,000
What actually moves the price up
Page count
The single biggest driver. Each additional page is copy, layout, review, and QA. Five extra pages is $750 as an add-on.
Original copywriting
Writing every page from an intake call versus filling in scaffolding. Included above Storefront; $1,200 as a standalone add-on.
Brand identity
Naming, logo, color, and type as a designed system rather than applying assets you already own. $1,500 as an add-on, included in Supply & Operations.
Integrations
CRM at $600, booking at $400, email automation at $900. Each is a real configuration job, not a checkbox.
SEO content
Ten researched, written, internally linked articles is $1,500 as a pack, or included in the Growth Partner.
Speed
Rush delivery is $1,000 and moves you to the front of the queue, cutting roughly a week. It buys queue position, not corners.
The cheaper options, assessed honestly
If your budget is genuinely under $2,995, do not buy from us. A Squarespace or Framer site at $20 a month, built by you over a weekend, is a perfectly reasonable way to validate whether anyone wants what you are offering. You will outgrow it, but outgrowing it means it worked.
The middle option is a freelancer, typically $1,500 to $8,000. This works well when you can write your own spec and your own copy, and it works badly when you cannot, because you will end up paying for revisions that are really you figuring out what you wanted. The variance in outcome is much wider than the variance in price.
Our pitch is narrow: a known price, a known date, and no project management on your side. If those three things are not worth the premium to you, one of the other options is genuinely better and we would rather you take it.

Questions
Frequently asked
How much does a peptide website cost?
Our builds are $5,995 to $25,000 depending on scope. Running costs are $40 to $80 per month plus the domain. Budget an additional $2,000 to $25,000 for legal, entity, trademark, insurance, and payment processing work that is outside our scope.
Why is the monthly fee separate from the setup fee?
Because they buy different things. Setup buys the build, which you own. The monthly buys hosting management, security updates, uptime monitoring, and a bounded amount of content editing. You can cancel the monthly and keep the site — it runs on your hosting account.
Are there hidden fees?
No. Every price on this site is what you pay. Third-party costs — domain, hosting, email, CRM — go to those vendors directly and we show you the numbers before you commit. The scope document lists every excluded item explicitly.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. The standard structure is $500 to reserve, 50% of the balance at project kickoff, and the remainder at launch. For the Growth Partner and Multi-Brand Platform we can split across the build period.
What is the cheapest way to get a professional peptide website?
The $2,995 Storefront, if you have someone who can deploy it and finish the copy. If you do not, the $5,995 Brand Launch is cheaper in practice, because the hours you spend learning to deploy are not free.
Do prices change based on my revenue or market?
No. The price is the price. We do not price on what we think you can pay, and we do not price on the size of your market.
