Donaldson Studio · Joshua Tree

$98 Website.

Built in one hour.

Bring us your business. We’ll turn it into a clean, modern, professional website — with you — in about an hour.

$98. That’s it.

Love it or get your $98 back.

An account is required. Subscription costs are paid separately to the platform.

The Obvious Question

Seriously. Why only $98?

Because we’d rather earn your trust than sell you a giant project.

We’ve built a highly standardized process around Base44 that lets us create excellent websites dramatically faster than a traditional agency. Instead of keeping all that efficiency as profit, we pass a huge amount of it directly to you.

We want the first experience someone has with Donaldson Studio to feel almost unfair in their favor. You give us $98. We give you something that could easily feel like a $500 website.

If we do our job right, the reaction should be: “Wait. That’s all this cost?”

That’s how we earn the right to work with you again.

The Promise

There is almost nothing to lose.

We stand behind the work. If we finish your website and you genuinely aren’t satisfied with what we built, tell us.

We’ll refund the $98. No drawn-out argument. No weird contract. No hard feelings.

We would rather lose $98 than have somebody leave Donaldson Studio feeling like they didn’t receive exceptional value.

How the Hour Works

One focused session. One website. $98.

01

Sit down with us

Tell us about the business, show us what you’ve got, and tell us what you want customers to do.

02

Get your account ready

Your website lives in your account, so you keep control of the platform your business is built on.

03

We build

We create the site right there using our standardized Donaldson Studio process.

04

You refine it with us

We make the important adjustments together — not weeks of emailing revisions back and forth.

05

You’re live

You leave with a real website and a clear path forward.

One focused session. One website. $98.

What You Get

A real website. In your account.

We Specialize

We specialize. Period.

We chose to specialize instead of trying to be mediocre at every platform on Earth. That means a repeatable process, consistent architecture, faster builds, easier support, and far less technical nonsense for you.

You own and pay for your own account. Donaldson Studio builds the website. Simple.

The Attitude

You need a website.

We know how to build one.

It shouldn’t cost you a fortune.

Let’s get it done.

We don’t want your trust before we’ve earned it.

Give us an hour. Give us $98. Judge us by what we make.
