How much does a boutique website cost?
A site like this is $499 setup plus $99/month at ThapaWeb — hosting, security, monitoring, and one integration included. Full e-commerce with checkout moves to the Custom tier from $999, quoted upfront. Every price is published.
Isn't Instagram enough for a small shop?
Instagram reaches your followers; a website reaches searchers. When someone asks Google or ChatGPT for "boutiques near me," engines cite structured websites — hours, location, and categories in schema — not social profiles. Together they compound.
Can I sell online with this?
This demo shows a lookbook-and-newsletter presence. Full e-commerce — checkout, inventory, payments — is a Custom-tier build from $999 setup, scoped and quoted before any commitment.
What brings customers back to the site?
Fresh arrivals and a Friday email. Both patterns are on this page — in a real build the newsletter wires to Mailchimp or Klaviyo, and the arrivals grid is a five-minute update for the owner.
