Guardian Solutions provides website design and SEO for Glenwood Springs businesses. A website project pays for the agreed build. Ongoing local visibility, site support, and broader SEO need their own budgets and responsibilities after launch.
Guardian is based in Colorado Springs and collaborates through Zoom. Start with a free website and SEO audit and 30-minute consultation to discuss the current site and the work you need, with no purchase obligation. Implementation is separate.

Set the website budget before adding monthly services
Guardian’s published website design pricing starts at $2,500 for a starter website, with business websites at $5,000–$10,000 and custom projects at $10,000+. The final proposal depends on the pages, content, functionality, and work required.
Design work includes business discovery, research, content, responsive design, and development. Confirm the project deliverables, review rounds, launch checks, and continuing costs in the itemized proposal. Hosting, ongoing support, and marketing have their own agreed scope.
You may not need a rebuild. Guardian offers focused WordPress support and Joomla support for existing sites. Share the site and problem so repair and redesign can be assessed.
Choose what continues after the website project
Local-profile management
The published local SEO plan costs $495 per month for one location, with no long-term commitment. It includes research for 10 local keywords, Google Business Profile optimization, weekly Google posts, a Q&A strategy, review tools and monitoring, directory syndication, and monthly heatmap ranking reports.
At the published rate, 12 months would total $5,940 if you choose to continue for that long. This is a budgeting calculation, not an annual contract or a combined website-and-SEO quote. A website build, repairs, additional locations, and expanded service-area content are separate.
Continuing work on website content and search performance
Guardian’s custom SEO can include service-page improvements, keyword and competitor research, internal links, technical optimization, and reporting. Discuss this scope when the website needs ongoing content or technical work beyond local-profile management. Pricing depends on the website, competition, and agreed effort.
Make the post-launch budget complete
Before approving a website and marketing proposal, identify these continuing costs and the person or provider responsible for each:
- Keeping the site running: hosting, software renewals, updates, backups, and support. Ask what is covered and what creates an extra charge; do not assume the build price includes continuing care.
- Changing the site: new services, revised pages, forms, and other requested changes. Confirm whether each belongs in support, an agreed SEO scope, or a separate project.
- Attracting customers: local-profile activity, website SEO, and any paid advertising. If advertising is part of your wider plan, account for ad spend and management separately rather than including them in the $495 local SEO fee.
For a first-year budget, add the agreed website cost, each recurring service for the number of months planned, and any separately quoted work. Leave unquoted support or advertising costs visible as unknowns instead of treating them as zero.
Use Guardian’s website portfolio to review completed design work and client testimonials to learn about the working experience. Portfolio appearance does not establish future traffic or inquiry results.
Discuss the website and the months that follow
Send the current site, the changes or new features needed, and any existing hosting, support, or marketing arrangements. We can discuss the appropriate Guardian service without assuming you need every service at once.
Questions before choosing Guardian
Does a new website include ongoing SEO?
A website project and continuing SEO are separate scopes. The design proposal should state the launch work, while any recurring local-profile or website SEO agreement should identify its own deliverables and price.
Can I stop the local plan without ending website support?
The published local SEO plan has no long-term commitment. Website support is a separate service. Confirm the cancellation process and the terms of each agreement before starting rather than assuming one service controls the other.
Will the monthly report show bookings or sales?
The local plan includes heatmap ranking reports, which show search visibility. Bookings, qualified inquiries, and sales require separate evidence and agreed measurement. Neither a new website nor SEO guarantees those outcomes.
