Best AI website builder, or a proper quote? Cost it first, from your own figures
Stagenix is for the business that is paying for its own website: the salon, the practice, the law firm, the contractor, the storage operator, the club. Before you pick a builder, a template or an agency, the worksheets on this site cost the build from your own figures, on the page, with no account: how many pages, who designs them, who writes them, what the features add, and what it costs to run each month. Then the paid plan keeps the record of the project so the quotes, the page map and the launch list are never in three inboxes again.
Stagenix Pro is $24 per month for the whole team, billed monthly.

Scope, quote, move, launch
A website project is one record, and it is usually spread across three inboxes
-
The pages, the features and the content owners, written down before anyone quotes
Most website quotes differ because they are quoting different sites. A scope with a page count, a feature list and a name against every piece of content is what makes two quotes comparable, and it is the document almost nobody writes first.
-
Every quote filed against the scope, with its date and its total
A quote is only meaningful against what it was quoting. Holding each one against the same scope shows where a builder, a template and an agency actually differ, and what each one left out.
-
The old page, the new page and the redirect, for every page you have
A migration loses rankings and enquiries when a page disappears with no forwarding address. The page map is the whole plan: every old URL, where it goes, and who checked it on launch day.

Should you just hire an agency to run the whole project?
If you are commissioning a large bespoke site with custom development, integrations and a content team, hire an agency and let its project manager run the record. Stagenix is for the business that will pick a builder, a template or a small studio, wants the scope, the quotes, the page map and the launch list held in one place, and is not going to pay a project manager to hold them.
| Stagenix | A full-service web agency running the project | |
|---|---|---|
| What you are buying | A record of the scope, the quotes, the migration page map and the launch checklist | The build itself, with design, development, content and project management in one contract |
| How it starts | You open it and write down the pages; the free worksheets need no account at all | A discovery phase, a proposal and a signed statement of work |
| How it is priced | $24 per month for the whole team, billed monthly, cancel from your account page | Quoted per project against the scope, usually with a deposit and staged payments |
| What it does not do | It does not design, build, host or market the site, and it gives no legal opinion on what the site must carry | Covers the build and often the hosting, at a cost a small business rarely needs for a templated site |
No agency price is stated here, deliberately: web agencies quote per project against a scope rather than publishing a rate, so any figure would be invented. This hub's own price is the one figure on the page, and it is an estimate recorded in research/data/saas-products.tsv (basis: estimated) rather than a benchmark against a published tier.
The answer is yours. Keeping it is Stagenix Pro.
Upgrading turns the worksheets into the record of the project. The scope becomes a document with pages, features and content owners; every quote is filed against it with its date and its total; the migration plan holds the old page, the new page and the redirect for each one; the launch checklist is ticked with a name and a date. Export is always available, so the record is yours whether or not you stay.
