Custom Development
Quoted by scope
Work outside a package: $140/hour
Some paths start free.
The free first step depends on the problem. We don’t force every customer through the same scan or consultation.
Free Accessibility Scan
An automated first pass that surfaces obvious accessibility issues and helps determine whether a full audit is warranted.
Free Ownership & Risk Review
A 45-minute review for an existing app or digital property: domain, DNS, hosting, repository control, credentials, and backup status.
No code access required for the initial review.
Free Subscription-Website Homepage Mockup
For businesses considering Website as a Service, we can show the direction for the homepage before they commit.
Custom development begins with a free consultation rather than one of these diagnostic scans.
Managed website plans
One plan family, two ways in: we build a new site as part of the plan, or we take over the website you already own after a review.
We build it as part of your plan
The build is the onboarding stage of the monthly plan rather than a separate upfront project.
We take it over and handle it
Same plans, after a review of what we’re taking responsibility for. Major repair work, if required, is identified and quoted before we do it.

How the monthly allowance works
Each plan includes a set amount of update time. We track the actual time used, so a quick change doesn’t consume a full 30-minute block. The allowance resets each month, so send changes as they come up rather than saving a backlog.
If you need more than your plan includes
Move up to a plan with more included capacity, or we quote the larger work separately in writing. Either way your monthly plan continues.
Two ways in, one plan family
If you need a website, the build is part of the plan. If you already own one, we review it, get it organized, and manage it going forward on the same plans.
Ownership and cancellation
A website you already own stays yours, including improvements we make while managing it. If we build your site on a subscription, you’re subscribing to the managed Bright Bridge platform — and you can purchase full ownership at any time for a written buyout price. Plans are month to month, your domain can remain in your registrar account, and if you cancel without purchasing the site we provide the agreed portable copy plus your own assets.
Audit, remediate, then monitor where needed.
Each stage has its own scope and economics. Monitoring is a separate service for sites Bright Bridge does not fully operate under Website as a Service.
Website Accessibility Audit
$2,500
Standard scope: up to approximately 50 unique pages/templates. Larger properties receive a scoped quote after the free scan.
Delivery: 10 business days from the scheduled audit start.
- Automated sweep across the covered site
- Human review of automated findings and false positives
- Hands-on testing of key templates and critical user flows
- Keyboard-only testing
- Screen-reader testing
- Forms and error handling
- Zoom/reflow
- Contrast and visual checks
- Prioritized WCAG findings
- 30/60/90 remediation roadmap
- Fixed-price remediation proposal
- Human review/sign-off
If Bright Bridge performs the remediation, the full $2,500 audit fee is credited toward the remediation work.
Accessibility Remediation
Typically $10,000–$25,000
Remediation is quoted from the audit findings and depends on the number, severity, and type of issues involved. The full $2,500 audit fee is credited toward the remediation when Bright Bridge performs the work.
- Theme/template code
- Semantic structure
- Navigation/focus management
- Forms
- Components and plugins
- Content accessibility
- Media
- PDF/document work
- Verification and retesting
Typically $10,000–$25,000, quoted by scope.
Government documents & PDFs
Scoped after document inventory and triage.
Government accessibility work can also include inventories of public documents, triage, HTML conversion, PDF/UA remediation, human QA, and monitoring for newly published documents.
Technical accessibility review and remediation; classification decisions are documented and confirmed through the appropriate client/legal process.
Ongoing Accessibility Monitoring
Monitoring is for websites Bright Bridge does not fully operate under Website as a Service. Website as a Service subscribers do not purchase a second accessibility-monitoring plan for the same Bright Bridge-managed website — accessibility monitoring is built into that managed service.

Verify before cutover.
Where appropriate, Bright Bridge replicates the application into client-controlled accounts while the existing environment continues running. Cutover happens only after the new environment is verified.
From $2,000/month
Production applications require a different level of support than a business website. App maintenance includes monitoring, updates, written response commitments, and development capacity.
Entry
Around $2,000/month
Approximately 72-hour critical response
Mid
Around $3,500/month
Approximately 24-hour critical response
Top
Around $5,000+/month
Approximately 4-hour critical response
Higher levels include stronger response commitments and more engineering capacity. Final terms are documented before service begins.
Custom Development
Custom websites, web applications, mobile applications, portals, business-specific workflows, integrations, and other engineering work are scoped based on what actually needs to be built.
Project pricing
Quoted by scope
Significant custom projects receive a written scope and quote before work starts. If a $199/month subscription website would solve the problem instead, we’ll say so.
Published engineering rate for work outside a package: $140/hour
Custom work + ongoing care
Support is defined with the project.
Custom projects launch with an ongoing care arrangement defined in the proposal so the work is not simply abandoned after launch.
The written custom proposal controls the support terms and any recurring price.
Clear terms, before you buy
The terms reflect the service you are buying rather than pretending every engagement works the same way.
- Monthly plans
- Recurring plans are month to month unless a written proposal says otherwise.
- Out-of-scope work
- If something falls outside the included plan or approved project scope, we tell you what it will cost before starting it.
- Third-party costs
- Paid third-party licenses, advertising spend, paid stock/media, specialty software, or other external costs are not silently absorbed into the plan unless specifically listed as included.
- Managed website cancellation
- Plans are month to month. The managed website platform is part of the subscription rather than a purchased custom build, so if you cancel without buying the site, we provide the agreed portable copy plus your own assets. Your domain can remain in your registrar account.
- Buying your site outright
- Subscribers can purchase full ownership of the website at any point. We provide a written buyout price, and once it's paid you own the complete transferable website covered by that agreement.
- Client-owned existing sites
- A website the client already owns remains the client's existing asset while Bright Bridge provides care.
- App takeover
- Safe Landing is designed to place critical application accounts and infrastructure into client-controlled accounts.
- Custom projects
- Ownership and ongoing-support terms are defined in the written project agreement.
Different work, different
pricing — always explained first.
A subscription website has published monthly pricing. Accessibility and App Rescue begin with productized assessments. Custom engineering is scoped in writing. Work outside packages has a published $140/hour rate. What never changes is that we explain the pricing model before doing the work.
The details people
ask before they start.
Why do you publish your prices?
Because you shouldn’t need a sales call just to understand the basic economics. Productized services have published prices, and custom work is scoped clearly before it begins.
Is every page manually tested?
Yes. Presence starts at $199/month with $0 setup for a qualifying subscription website. The initial website build is part of the subscription rather than a separately purchased website project. Local is $349/month and Growth is $549/month.
Can you manage a website I already own?
Yes. The same website-plan structure can apply after a review of the site. If it needs major repair or migration before normal care makes sense, we’ll identify and price that work first.
How much is the accessibility audit?
$2,500 for the standard scope of roughly up to 50 unique pages/templates. It includes automated site-wide testing plus hands-on testing of key templates and critical flows, human review, prioritized findings, and a remediation proposal. If Bright Bridge performs the remediation, the full $2,500 is credited toward that work.
How much does accessibility remediation cost?
It depends on the audit findings. Current projects typically fall around $10,000–$25,000, with the $2,500 audit credit applied when Bright Bridge performs the remediation.
Do Website as a Service customers also pay for accessibility monitoring?
Not for the same Bright Bridge-managed subscription site. Accessibility is part of our build and monitoring standard for that service. The separate $300/$750/$1,500 monitoring product is primarily for sites Bright Bridge does not fully operate under Website as a Service.
How much does App Rescue cost?
The initial Ownership & Risk Review is free. The Production Readiness / Takeover Assessment is $3,500. Stabilization commonly falls around $15,000–$50,000 depending on the app, and ongoing app maintenance starts around $2,000/month.
What does custom development cost?
Custom projects are quoted by scope because the work can vary dramatically. For work that does not fit a package, Bright Bridge publishes a $140/hour engineering rate and estimates the work in writing first.
Are monthly plans long-term contracts?
The published Website and accessibility-monitoring plans are month to month. App and custom-project terms are documented in the applicable proposal.
