Questions I often get
What does a monthly marketing partnership include?
A monthly partnership means the marketing work happens every month, not whenever there is time left over. Depending on the level, that covers strategy, website management, SEO, content, design and marketing leadership. There are four levels starting at $1,000 a month, and the scope is written down before we begin so you always know what you are paying for.
How much does it cost to work with Storyteller Studios?
Monthly partnerships run $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 and $5,000+ a month, and all four are published on the services page with a line-by-line comparison. Out-of-scope work is $100 an hour. Larger projects such as websites, rebrands, photography and video are quoted separately. No hidden rates and no quote required to see a price.
What happens if I need something outside my monthly scope?
It is billed at $100 an hour, and you will know before the work starts. Out-of-scope requests get flagged and authorized up front rather than turning up as a surprise line on an invoice.
How much does a new website cost?
Websites are quoted as their own project with their own scope, never billed hourly against a retainer. A simple single-page site starts around $800. Most small business websites land between $3,500 and $8,500, depending on page count, custom design, e-commerce and how much of the copy and photography we produce for you. Larger custom or CMS-driven builds are quoted individually. A $4,000 website should never quietly become 40 hours at $100, so you get a fixed price and a defined scope before anything begins, whether or not you are on a monthly partnership.
If I have you build my website, do I have to pay the monthly plan to have you maintain it?
No. A website build and a monthly marketing partnership are two separate purchases, and you can have one without the other. Simple single-page builds start around $800, most small business sites land between $3,500 and $8,500, and larger custom or CMS-driven builds are quoted individually. Moving an existing website to a new host or server is a separate add-on quoted on its own, because that work depends entirely on what the old host is willing to hand over. When your site launches, it is yours. Some clients take the keys and run it themselves. Others keep us on monthly so the updates, backups, SEO and new content keep happening without them having to think about it. That is a choice, never a condition of the build.
Do you build on Squarespace, Webflow or WordPress?
All three. Most studios pick one platform and make every client fit it. We build and manage on Squarespace, Webflow and WordPress, so the question is what your business actually needs rather than what we happen to be comfortable with. WordPress sites are managed on Flywheel hosting.
Can you take over a website another company built?
Yes, and we do it often. Inherited sites usually need stabilising before they need redesigning. Connect Medical Clinic came to us as a legacy WordPress build with caching so unreliable that staff could not trust their own edits, and that got fixed before anything was redesigned. A rebuild only happens when it is genuinely the right call.
Do you offer SEO?
Yes, as part of a monthly partnership rather than a one-off project. That means keyword and ranking tracking, technical fixes, local search visibility for North Dakota businesses, and content built around what people are actually searching for. You get it reported monthly so you can see what moved and what did not.
Do you manage social media as well?
Yes. Content planning, design, scheduling and reporting, with everything queued for your approval before it publishes. Nothing goes out in your name that you have not seen. Diamond Truck Equipment went from nine Facebook followers to nearly five hundred in six months on exactly that approach.
Do I need to be in Dickinson to work with you?
No. We are based in Dickinson and work with businesses across western North Dakota including Bismarck, Beulah and Beach, and remotely with clients further out. Being local means we can show up in person when it matters, which for photography, events and strategy sessions it usually does.
Who actually does the work?
Kacie Froelich leads every account and does the strategy, design and build work, with a small team supporting operations and content. You are not handed off to someone junior after the first conversation, and you always know who you are talking to.
