You talk to the person building it
No ticket queue, no account manager three time zones away. You get my cell, and I meet clients around the island.
Frontline Web Designs is Tanner Mosher, a Maui firefighter in Wailuku who builds custom websites for small businesses across the island, with one-time prices posted before you ever call. If you're comparing Maui web designs and Maui web designers, here is what a build costs, who it's for, and how Frontline stacks up against other designers who post their prices.
$300 to $500
1 to 3 custom-designed pages
$800 to $1,500
Up to 5 custom pages
$2,000+
Unlimited pages, e-commerce
Deposit is 50% of the package's starting price, applied to your final invoice. If the finished site is not something Tanner is proud of, he does not charge the balance. Most sites are delivered in about a week, and they are built to be fast. On the live Real Estate on Molokai site, a test measured July 26, 2026 recorded a 0.7-second load (see Real Clients). Optional care is on the website maintenance page; full details are on Pricing.
Every number below was read on the designer's own page on October 30, 2026, and is quoted as posted. Frontline wrote this table and is listed as one row. Scope differs a lot between plans, so read what each price includes.

Some Maui designers, including Maui Web Designs and Maui Growth Co., quote after a conversation rather than posting a price. That is a normal way to work and not a red flag.
This is arithmetic on each designer's lowest posted price, before Hawaii GET. It is not a quote, and scope differs.
The full method is in what Maui web designers charge. For one-time builds against monthly plans, and what each designer says happens to your site if you leave, read Maui web designers compared.

Kahului businesses can get a custom site without driving far: Frontline is based next door in Wailuku. Endless Imaginations Floral Designs, a Kahului florist with more than 20 years on Maui, has a site built around weddings, lei and sympathy flowers, made to order. If you're looking for a web design company in Kahului that posts its prices, the three tiers above are the full menu. See the live Kahului build on Real Clients.
Frontline is a Wailuku web designer, based here. 417 Autoworks, a family-owned collision and paint shop in Wailuku, was renting its old site from a white-label platform and could not find its own login. The rebuild is theirs outright, on their own hosting. Their Google review reads: "Easy to work with and very quick to respond!" Meeting in person in Wailuku is easy to set up.
Frontline builds websites for businesses across Maui, including Kihei. Kihei shops, rentals and service businesses get the same flat tiers, a free sample before you pay, and a site you own. I meet clients around the island. Ask for a free sample homepage to see what your Kihei site could look like first.
Neizman Bros, two Lahaina-grown brothers painting homes and commercial units across Maui, have a site built around their prep, protect and paint process, with film of the work. In Olowalu on the Honoapiilani Highway, Olowalu Coffee Co's drive-thru trailer has its whole board online with prices by size. Ikaika of Neizman Bros wrote: "He responded to questions very quick and was able to take my ideas and bring them to life!"
Local designers include Frontline Web Designs (Wailuku), Keahinetics, Maui HD (Kahului), Digital Reach (Wailuku), HawaiiWebSEO (Kihei), maui-seo.com, SmallBusinessWeb.Design, Adelle Brianne LLC (Kahului), Maui Web Designs and Maui Growth Co. They differ mostly in pricing model: one-time builds, monthly plans, lease-or-buy, or a quote after a call.
As of October 30, 2026, Frontline posts one-time builds from $300, Keahinetics posts $50 to $125 a month plus setup, Maui HD posts $200 to $700 a month, maui-seo.com posts leases from $99 a month, HawaiiWebSEO posts plans from $574 a month, Adelle Brianne posts $497 setup plus $49 or $99 a month, and SmallBusinessWeb.Design posts $4,500 to $9,500 for most five-page sites. Digital Reach and several others quote after a first call, which is a normal way to work.
Compare total payments over 36 months, not the first month. At posted starting prices before Hawaii GET, Maui HD's $200-a-month plan comes to $7,200, a maui-seo.com lease from $99 a month comes to at least $3,564, and Frontline's $300 Starter plus its optional $75-a-month care plan comes to $3,000. Monthly plans bundle hosting and edits and can suit seasonal cash flow, so check what each price includes.
It depends on the designer, so ask before you sign. Frontline says your site and domain are yours, and its care plan can be canceled anytime with a full hand-off; Keahinetics says you own your domain and content and will get your site files if you leave. Maui HD hosts the site on its servers while you're on a plan and hands over files for a one-time fee, and maui-seo.com leases can be bought after 24 to 36 months at a price based on the site's value then.
Get a posted or written price, find out who actually does the work, and ask who owns the site and domain if you stop paying. Then load a real live client site on your phone to judge speed and design yourself.
I'm Tanner: a working Maui firefighter and website designer who builds for local businesses between shifts. No templates, no mainland agency you can never reach. Based in Wailuku, serving all of Maui, with sites from $300 quoted up front.
Real Estate on Molokai came to me with a site their customers gave up on. I tore it down and rebuilt it: island photography instead of stock, listings and MLS search on page one, loading in 0.7 seconds in a July 26, 2026 test. It is live today, and it is one of several real builds for island businesses.




Get a free sample homepage for your business, or send me your current site and I'll tell you straight what's working and what's costing you customers. No charge, no pitch, no catch.
I'll get your sample started and be in touch within one business day.
Rather talk it through first? Call or text (808) 658-0487. A Maui firefighter answers, not a call center.
A Maui business is not a mainland business with palm trees. Your customers, your busy seasons, and even your internet speeds are different, and a site built on-island is built for that.
No ticket queue, no account manager three time zones away. You get my cell, and I meet clients around the island.
Lean pages load fast, even on the spotty cell service your customers are actually on when they look you up.
Real on-page SEO and clean local markup in every build, so nearby customers searching on Maui actually find you.
Every build is custom, but here are a few of the trades and industries I build for most on the island.
Every Maui site I build comes with the same standard, whether it is a $300 starter or a premium build.
Lean, no bloated builders. Built to load fast, which visitors and Google both reward.
Mobile-first and tested on real devices, because that is where most of your customers see you.
WCAG AA contrast, keyboard navigation, and screen-reader structure built in from day one.
A flat quote before any work starts. You will never hear "it depends" twice in one call. Comparing us against other quotes? Here is what Maui web designers charge in 2026.
Wherever your business is on the island, I can build for it. A few of the towns I work with:
Builds start at $300 for a starter site, $800 for a business site, and $2,000+ for a larger premium build. Every quote is given up front, so you know the number before any work starts.
Yes. I'm based in Wailuku and I'm a local firefighter, so meeting around the island is easy to arrange. Plenty of the work also happens by phone and email if that is simpler for you.
Most small-business sites go live in about a week, as long as you have your info ready to go. You see it first and approve it before it launches.
Yes. Your site and your domain are yours, always. If you already have a domain, you keep it and your content.
You tell me about your business and I build you a real sample page first. You see it before you pay anything. If it is what you wanted, we finish the site together. If not, you owe nothing.
Every build includes an on-page SEO foundation: clean structure, fast load times, proper titles and local markup. That plus a complete Google Business Profile is what gets a Maui business found in local search and the map pack.
I'm Maui-based and love working with island businesses, but I build and manage sites for clients across the United States too.
