Guides
Guides written to be useful before you hire anyone
Guides covering the questions that come up before a project: what it costs, whether AI search changes anything, why inquiries are not arriving, what to do with an AI-built app that stalled, and how to move or choose a domain. Each includes checks you can run yourself today.
The guides
How to compare website build and repair quotes
What a build or repair quote includes, which decisions move the price, and how to compare scope using Wilde Digital’s published USD rates.

.agency or .com for an international service business?

How these are written
- The question is answered in the first section, not after a thousand words of preamble.
- Every price is Wilde Digital's own published starting rate, with its date and basis. No market averages, no borrowed vendor statistics.
- Platform claims are traced to the platform's own documentation where one exists.
- Each guide includes something you can do yourself, including the questions to ask competing suppliers.
- Where a figure was never measured, the guide says so and tells you what to measure instead.
