Simple Website Monthly Payments
Fixed Prices, No Fees
With the traditional web design process, you’ll usually give the web designer / developer your business info and files; pay a large deposit (sometimes up to 50% of the entire cost), and then pay the remaining costs.
On top of that you may have to pay additional fees if the project ends up going beyond the original scope of work. And you have to handle your domain name and web hosting yourself, unless you’re willing to pay more money on a monthly basis.
Lower Upfront Cost
Every small business can benefit from a professionally designed website. But most small businesses and startups just don’t have the thousands of dollars it takes to afford a professional website built the right way.
Instead of paying the entire costs of your website upfront, Balloon Sites offers a simple pricing model – ‘Pay-as-you-grow’.
Pay Over Time
It’s like pay-as-you-go, except you start with a low fixed monthly price and, as your business grows over time, you can add more complex website features one-by-one for an additional low, always fixed cost.
When your website is completely up and running, you only pay for the first month of service at minimum, giving you the flexibility to free up your cash, and the freedom to focus on more important business tasks.

So what's the difference?
DIY Builders
DIY website builders are good if you need a really simple, small site with only a limited amount of features; and if you have the time and the knowledge to build it yourself.
Balloon Sites
Balloon Sites bridges the gap by offering agency level professional design at (slightly higher than) DIY prices.
Design Agencies
Design agencies will build your site for you with more custom and complex functionalities if you’re at that stage. However, this comes at a much higher price.
We strive to make your online business a hands-off experience by designing and managing your website so you can focus on the things that matter – sales, revenue, customers, marketing, etc.
What is Balloon Sites?
It’s our business to help you succeed over the lifetime of your online business.
We aren’t just building websites, we’re building an investment portfolio of small businesses. How well your business performs directly affects how well we perform as a business.
Not only do we design and build your site, we give you lifetime value by investing in your business over the long term, or short term – it’s really up to you.
