What we do

Everything a small business actually needs. Nothing it doesn't.

No upsells you'll never use. No 80-page strategy decks. Just the handful of things that turn a Google search for your business into a phone call, a visit, or a sale.

Your First Website

Hours, location, services, photos, contact info — all the basics customers Google before they walk in the door. Designed to look great on a phone.

Restaurant & Menu Sites

A clean menu page customers can actually read on their phone, hours, directions, and a tap-to-call button. Toast or Square ordering links welcome.

Service Business Sites

For plumbers, electricians, landscapers, cleaners, and contractors. Lead-capture forms, service areas, and a "request a quote" button front and center.

Google Business Setup

We claim, verify, and optimize your Google Business Profile so when locals search for you, they find you first — with photos, hours, and reviews.

Updates & Edits

New menu? New hours? New phone number? Send us a text and we'll update the site within a day. Pay-as-you-go or a tiny monthly plan.

Hosting & Care

Optional $19/month plan covers hosting, backups, security, and small edits. No surprise renewals, cancel anytime, no hostage-taking.

How it works

Four steps. No surprises.

A clear, honest process so you always know what's happening, what's next, and what it'll cost.

01

Discover

A free 30-minute call to understand your business, your goals, and your customers. You'll leave with a fixed quote and timeline.

02

Design

We design every page in Figma so you can see — and tweak — exactly what you're getting before a single line of code is written.

03

Build

We build a fast, accessible, mobile-first site. Two rounds of revisions are baked in. We move quickly so momentum stays high.

04

Launch & Grow

We push to production, train you on the CMS, and stick around for 30 days of post-launch support — on the house.

Recent work

Why it matters

What your business looks like on Google.

Most of your customers are searching for you on a phone before they ever walk in the door. Here's what they see today versus what they'd see with a website.

Your Business — Facebook Page

"Last updated 2 years ago." Limited information. No menu, no hours, no way to take action.
The problem: Customers can't find your menu, your real hours, or a way to order. Many of them just keep scrolling — straight to your competitor.

Pricing

Honest prices. Less than other companies' deposits.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly.

How can your prices be so much lower than other companies?

Most agencies are built for big clients with big budgets. We're not. We've kept our process lean, we use proven tools instead of reinventing the wheel for every project, and we focus only on the things small businesses actually need. That's it — no catch, no shortcuts on quality.

How long does a typical project take?

Essential sites are usually live within a week. Standard sites take about two weeks, and Plus projects are typically up in three. We'll give you a fixed timeline before you pay a dollar.

Do I have to pay a monthly fee?

Nope. You can pay once, own your site, and host it yourself or with the cheap provider of your choice. Our $19/month Hosting & Care plan is completely optional — most clients take it because it's easier, but you're never locked in.

Do I own my website when we're done?

Yes — completely. You own the design, the code, the content, and the domain. If you ever decide to take it elsewhere, we'll hand everything over with no hassle.

What if I don't have a logo, photos, or copy yet?

That's normal — most of our clients don't. We offer simple logo design ($150), copywriting ($45/page), and we can take photos with a phone if needed. We'll never let a blank page hold up your launch.

I already have a domain or hosting. Can I use it?

Absolutely. If you've got GoDaddy, Bluehost, Squarespace, or anything else, we'll work with what you've got. If you don't have a domain yet, we'll help you pick one and get it set up.

How do payments work?

We ask for 50% upfront to lock your project in, and the remaining 50% at launch. We accept cards, ACH, Venmo, or a check — whatever's easiest for you.

What if I need changes later?

Easy. You can grab the $19/month Hosting & Care plan, which includes regular small updates. Or pay $25 per edit when you need one. Just text or email — we'll usually have it live within a day.
