Are you looking to maximize your returns while minimizing costs? At Lime Goat, we specialize in building top-notch IR websites for public companies at a fraction of the cost of legacy vendors — without sacrificing quality, compliance, or features.
The Real Cost of an IR Website (And How You Can Save)
Most public companies are overpaying for their investor relations websites. Legacy IR website providers typically charge:
- $15,000–$50,000+ in upfront setup fees for templated, off-the-shelf IR website designs
- $1,500–$5,000/month in ongoing maintenance and hosting fees
- Per-update charges every time you need to make a change beyond their standard data feeds
With Lime Goat’s IR websites, most clients save 75% on monthly fees and up to 90% on upfront costs — for a fully custom, ADA-compliant IR website with the same integrations and data feeds.
What’s Included in a Lime Goat IR Website?
Our IR websites are not templates. Every IR website we build is custom-designed and includes:
- Real-time stock quote integration — live ticker, price, volume, and charting
- SEC filing feeds — automatic EDGAR integration for 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, DEF 14A, and more
- Press release feed integration — Business Wire, PR Newswire, Globe Newswire, or your distribution service
- Earnings calendar — past and upcoming earnings dates, webcasts, and replays
- Corporate governance section — board of directors, committee charters, bylaws, and code of ethics
- ADA/WCAG 2.1 AA compliance — required by the SEC under Reg FD, and increasingly enforced by courts
- Mobile-responsive design — your IR website works flawlessly on all devices
- Email alerts / investor notification system
Why Are IR Website Costs So High at Other Vendors?
Most IR website providers are built around a high-overhead service model — large account teams, rigid platforms, and contractual lock-ins that keep you paying whether you need updates or not. They charge for every content update, every new section, and every integration change.
Lime Goat operates differently. We’re a lean, experienced digital agency that has been building IR websites and corporate websites since the early days of investor relations on the web. We pass the savings directly to you.
ADA Compliance: Why It Matters More Than Ever for IR Websites
The SEC’s Regulation FD requires that material information be disclosed to all investors simultaneously. An IR website that is not accessible to investors with disabilities may constitute a Reg FD violation. Beyond regulatory risk, ADA lawsuits targeting IR websites have increased significantly in recent years.
Every Lime Goat IR website is built to meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, with ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance as your content changes. We don’t treat accessibility as an add-on — it’s baked in from day one.
Custom IR Website vs. Template: Which Is Right for Your Company?
Many IR website vendors offer only templates with your logo dropped in. While templates can be faster to deploy, they come with significant drawbacks:
- No differentiation from other public companies using the same platform
- Limited flexibility to match your corporate brand standards
- Proprietary platforms that make it hard to switch providers
Lime Goat builds fully custom IR websites on open platforms — which means you own your site, you’re not locked into a contract, and your IR website actually looks like your brand.
