Ask a Question
How much does a typical project cost?+

Packages start at $6,500. Most clients invest $8,000–$15,000 for complete digital infrastructure (website + CRM + automation). Every project is scoped before anything starts — you'll always know what you're getting and what it costs.

What are the ongoing platform costs?+

All accounts are in your name — you own everything. We never mark up platform costs. Here's what you'll pay directly:

• Email (Google Workspace): $6–18/user/month
• Domain: ~$15–50/year
• Website (Squarespace/Webflow): $16–65/month
• CRM (HoneyBook/Dubsado): $20–99/month
• Automation tools: Free–$29/month

Most clients land at $80–120/month total.

How long does a project take?+

• Website only: 2–4 weeks
• CRM + Website: 4–6 weeks
• Complete infrastructure: 6–8 weeks

Every project gets a custom timeline during our initial discovery call.

What if I'm not tech-savvy?+

That's exactly why we exist. You don't need to understand the technology — that's our job. We explain everything in plain language and train you to manage what we build independently.

Do you use AI tools in your work?+

Yes, thoughtfully. We use AI to accelerate custom coding and speed up implementation. But every system is human-designed, human-tested, and tailored to your specific needs. AI helps us work faster — it doesn't replace strategy, oversight, or the relationship-first approach that makes our systems actually work for you.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?+

Yes. Every project includes 30 days of post-launch adjustments. For ongoing support, maintenance, and strategic partnership, we offer Care packages starting at $500/month — including proactive monitoring, regular updates, and priority support.

Who do I actually work with?+

The same people you talk to in the first conversation are the people who do the work. No project managers. No junior handoffs. You have a direct line to the person building your system.

What platforms do you work with?+

We're platform-agnostic — we recommend what's right for your workflow. Platforms we know well: Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, HoneyBook, Dubsado, Google Workspace, Zapier, Make, Notion, Airtable, Stripe, and Calendly. If you need something not on this list, we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

What's the relationship with Hive Forma?+

Hive29 is the creative build team within Hive Forma LLC. Hive Forma handles strategy, secure infrastructure, and operational leadership for larger creative agencies and studios. Hive29 handles the design and development work — websites, CRM builds, applications, and brand. The two work together for clients who need both.
