Websites built to move people to act.
A pretty website is not the goal. A site that moves donors to give, customers to call, users to sign up, and readers to subscribe is the goal. We design for the second one and refuse to ship the first. Nonprofits, SaaS platforms, personal brands, local services: the audiences differ, the discipline does not.

- Websites from $5,000 templated to $150,000+ enterprise, always audience-first.
- Every build starts by naming who the site is for and what they must do.

Work we've done along the way.
Guided teams, in their own words.

Dana WolpertCreative Nomads redesigned our nonprofit's website. We were impressed with the whole team! Most of our interactions were with Lei who was very thorough and responsive. The result of our collaboration is a beautiful website that accurately reflects our brand and explains our mission - we're so happy with the final product! Highly recommend.

Jordan FrancisI highly recommend Jason & his team for their exceptional work on our recent website rebuild. We needed a comprehensive digital facelift, and they delivered beyond our expectations. They seamlessly developed code in Shopify, which has been a lifesaver for us. The new design is clean, modern, intuitive, and aligns perfectly with the vision we had for our brand. It strikes the right balance between professionalism and youth culture without feeling overdone. The entire process was efficient, communication was clear and consistent, and the team truly understood our needs. If you're looking for professionals to elevate your web presence and create impactful results, this is the team to hire. 10/10. We actually hired them again for another project before we got done with this one!
The Creative Nomads approach.
- 01
Clarity first.
No wireframes until we know who the site is really for and what they need to do. Sites that try to serve everyone serve no one. The shortest sentence on the homepage is the hardest to write because of this.
- 02
Friction before fix.
We name what is broken about your current site in plain language. Then we design specifically against that list.
- 03
Distinctive, not decorative.
If a stranger could not pick your site out of a lineup of five competitors, we did not finish.
- 04
Built to hand off.
Your team has to be able to run it. Documentation, training, and a CMS that is not a tax to use.
Published tiers. No coyness.
Four published tiers. The right one depends on scope: pages, messaging needs, integrations, and stakeholder complexity.
- Templated build$5,000 – $12,000
Structured site on a proven template, customized to your brand. Best when messaging is already clear.
- Template + messaging strategy Recommended$20,000 – $25,000
Templated build plus full messaging strategy. The first step into our differentiator.
- Full custom + strategy$35,000 – $75,000
End-to-end strategy, brand work, and a fully custom build.
- Enterprise platform$75,000 – $150,000+
Custom platform engineering, multi-language, deep integrations, large stakeholder maps. For multi-department orgs.
Pricing is what it costs, not what we hope you’ll spend. Phased delivery is available for nonprofit budgets, we phase scope, not price.
Real outputs. Not a capability list.
The full list below ships with custom engagements. Templated builds include a focused subset, and we tell you exactly which pieces before you sign.
- Strategy doc
-
Positioning, audience profiles, the gap your current site has. Before we touch a wireframe.
- Custom or templated build
-
On Sanity + Astro, or WordPress where the team needs it. Built fast, built right, built to hand off.
- Conversion-mapped pages
-
Donor flow, lead form, booking path. Every page has a job and we tell you which one.
- Brand-respectful design
-
Distinctive aesthetic. No template-shop look. The site looks like you, not like every other agency.
- CMS your team can run
-
You publish your own changes. We documented it. No "submit a ticket" treadmill.
- SEO + AI-search foundation
-
Schema markup, internal linking, structured for both Google and the AI answer engines. Built in, not bolted on.
Asked before they hire us.

How much does a website cost?
Published tiers, no coyness. Templated builds run $5,000 to $12,000. A template plus full messaging strategy runs $20,000 to $25,000. Full custom with strategy runs $35,000 to $75,000, and enterprise platforms run $75,000 to $150,000+. If you need something live this week, AI Website in a Day is a flat $2,500.
-
How long does a website project take?
A templated build typically ships in a few weeks once content is in hand. Custom builds run 12 to 20 weeks on a standard timeline, and we publish a rushed option if you have a hard date. The scope calculator at creativenomads.com/scope gives you a real range in about two minutes.
-
Do you only work with nonprofits?
No. Nonprofits and missions are a deep specialty, but the studio also builds for SaaS platforms like Edstruments, personal brands, schools, and local service businesses. The discipline is the same everywhere: name the primary audience and what they need to do before any pixel earns its place.
-
What platform do you build on?
Modern static-first stacks (Astro with Sanity CMS) for speed and security, WordPress where your team already lives there, and Shopify for commerce. We recommend based on who has to run the site after launch, not on what we feel like building.
-
Who owns the website when it is done?
You do. Domain, code, CMS, content, analytics. We document the handoff and train your team, and if you want us to keep hosting and maintaining it, care plans start at $199 per month.
