Fishing guide sites are priced by how many kinds of trips you run and how much an angler needs to know before committing to a date. A single boat and a single species is a short build, while a guide with several seasons and trip lengths needs more room. The deposit and calendar are connected to what you already use.
The price at a glance
Most fishing guides fit Launch Website: $399 one-time for up to 5 pages, plus Website Care at $30/month for hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly performance checks, A/B testing and up to 30 minutes of small edits each month. A typical fishing guide site covers Home with a booking button, Trips, Species and seasons, Gallery and Book.
What changes the price for a fishing guide
- ✓Trip types — Half-day, full-day and multi-day outings each need their own description of length, group size and what the day looks like on the water
- ✓Species and season pages — Explaining which fish run when, and how each is targeted, takes research and writing but answers the question every angler asks first
- ✓Catch gallery size — A gallery of real catches proves you put people on fish, and more photos mean more optimizing so pages still load fast on a dock
- ✓Booking and deposit setup — Connecting a booking form or a deposit tool through Square or the one you already have adds configuration beyond a basic contact page
What keeps you in the smaller plan
A guide with one boat, a few trip lengths and a handful of photos does well with a home page, a trips page, a species and seasons page, a small gallery and a booking form. You can keep the species list to the fish you actually target. Simple and honest beats a page for every fish in the region.
Costs that sit outside the website
- ✓Booking tool plan — If you use a scheduling or deposit app, its subscription and processing fees belong to that provider
- ✓Photography — Strong catch photos are worth planning, and a day of good shots on the water costs separately
- ✓Licenses and permits — Your guide licensing and insurance are your own to maintain and are not part of the website
- ✓Domain and email — Your own web address and email are paid yearly outside the site
When it makes sense to step up
Step up if you run multiple boats or hire additional guides, if you offer lodging or package trips, or if you fish more than one body of water that each deserve their own page. Gift certificates and group charters with different pricing structures also call for extra pages.
