Who we build for

Good fit for

Small businesses that need a professional web presence without an agency price tag.

  • Small retail stores moving from Facebook-only to a real website
  • Professionals who need a clean, credible online home
  • Businesses with an outdated site that's costing them customers

How it works

Four steps from here to live

We build the mockup first and handle everything technical. You handle the content.

Step 1

We build a mockup

Before you pay anything, we put together a homepage preview on a private link. You see the direction before you commit.

Step 2

You approve the quote

Review the scope and terms, then approve by typing your name. No lawyers, no PDFs.

Step 3

Send us your content

Photos, logo, and the text you want on the site. We handle layout, SEO, mobile, and domain setup. Target: 14 business days from when we have everything.

Step 4

Review, revise, launch

Revisions included (1 round on Starter, 2 on Core). Once you approve, the site goes live on your domain. Core site files are yours on final payment.

What is included

Everything in one build

One flat build. Nothing sold separately.

Up to 5 pages

Home, About, Services, Contact, plus one more. Extra pages $75 each.

Technical SEO

Meta titles, structured data, sitemap, robots.txt, and Google Search Console submission.

Mobile-ready & accessible

Responsive on every screen. Built to WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards.

Contact form + SSL

Secure form straight to your inbox. HTTPS included from day one.

Domain setup

Registered in your name. We handle DNS, SSL, and routing.

Hosting included

AWS S3 + CloudFront. Fast, reliable, covered in your monthly hosting. You never deal with a control panel.

Sound familiar?

Real conversations that turn into projects

These are the situations we work on every day.

"We haven't touched our site in five years."

Still loads, but looks dated and doesn't work on phones. A clean, modern site signals trust — especially to customers searching on mobile.

"We're running everything through Facebook."

Facebook is rented land. A site with proper SEO setup gives you a home base you control — one Google can actually find and index.

"Our site doesn't show up on Google."

Old sites often lack structured data, a sitemap, or proper meta tags. Technical SEO setup is part of every build. Rankings still depend on content and competition — we'll tell you that upfront.

"We got quoted $3,000 and still don't have a site."

We show the mockup first. You see it before you pay anything. No long discovery process, no deposit to start a conversation.

Ownership

You own it on final payment

On Core, site files transfer to you on final payment. On Starter, your content and domain are always yours — upgrade to Core anytime to own the files.

Site files

All the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Take them anywhere, host them on any platform.

Your domain

Registered in your name from day one. We provide the transfer code whenever you want it.

Your content

Photos, text, logos — always yours. We never claim rights to anything you provided.

Questions

Do I pay anything upfront?

Not on Starter or Core Monthly — nothing is billed until your site goes live. Core flat is half at approval and half at launch.

Can I cancel Starter?

Month-to-month has a 3-month minimum. After that, cancel anytime with 30 days notice. The 12 and 24-month plans lock in a lower rate for the length of the plan.

Do I own my website?

On Core and Core Monthly, your site files are yours once paid off (upfront on Core, after 12 payments on Core Monthly). Starter is a subscription — we run the site for you. Your content and domain are always yours, and you can upgrade to Core anytime.

Is the domain mine?

Yes. Registered in your name from day one. If you ever leave, we transfer it to you once your account is settled.

What if I need more than 5 pages?

Extra pages on Core are $75 each. Starter covers 1 to 2 pages. Need more? Move to Core for $397 and your remaining Starter term is waived.

Will this get me on Google?

Every site gets technical SEO setup so Google can find and index it. Rankings depend on your content, competition, and time. Pairing your site with a Google Business Profile helps local customers find you.
