Patchlamp, an agency, a website builder, or doing nothing.

Every way a small business on the Wasatch Front keeps a website, with what each one costs, who makes the change when you need one, and how long it takes.

Every price below was read from that company's own pricing page on 2026-09-28, the Utah shops' on 2026-09-29, and each row links the page it came from. Where a company publishes no price, the row says so and links the page that says so. Nothing here is a guess of ours, and prices change — check the link before you decide.

The Utah shops

11 Utah shops with a published monthly plan, one by one.

Each one sells a site kept for a monthly fee with changes in it. Every cell was read from the shop's own page on 2026-09-29 and links that page; where a page says nothing, the cell says so.

Patchlamp

One-time services stand on their own. Plans include a usage allowance; a new website is bought separately. Every plan and every number is on /pricing, which is where these come from.

A local agency or a care plan

Utah shops' own pages, shop by shop in the table above, every cell linked to the page it came from.

A website builder you drive

Their AI builds the first draft; after that the changes are yours to make, and GoDaddy's prompts run on credits.

Read from: Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy (reported).

An all-in-one local marketing suite

A platform, not a person: the site, the review requests and the inbox are yours to run.

Read from: Thryv, Podium, Podium (reported price).

A freelancer or the nephew

A good build. The problem is the change you need on a Tuesday night.

Read from: Project Cost Estimator, 2026.

Doing nothing

Of the 5,865 independent businesses we checked from Ogden to Santaquin, 1,227 have no site of their own: 857 none at all, 181 a dead link, 132 a Facebook or Instagram page, 54 a free builder address.

Which one is you

We are not the cheapest, and we are not for everyone.

Buy a builder

If you enjoy the editor and you have an evening free every time the hours change, a builder is cheaper than us and always will be. Nothing we do beats free labour you don't mind doing.

Buy an agency

If what you want is a designed brand, a campaign and a strategy meeting, hire people who do that. We keep a site current; we are not an art department.

Text us

If the real problem is that the change never gets made — the hours from last summer, the price that went up in March, the photo of the old van — then the thing to buy is a number you text, and someone whose job it is to answer.

The numbers say most owners are in the third column: 1,227 of the 5,865 independent businesses we checked from Ogden to Santaquin have no website of their own at all (2026-09-28). Check what yours shows, or read the numbers for the trades, creatives, makers and shops, nonprofits or restaurants.
