Pricing

$899 or $1,499 for the website, then $97 a month.

That is the whole price list. You pick Starter or Pro for the website itself, paid once. Then $97 a month covers hosting, security updates, up to 1 hour of changes and at least 8 new articles every month.

Nothing is due before you have seen your site. We build a mock of your actual business first, you look at it, and you pay by link only if you want it built.

The two websites

Pick the size. The monthly plan is the same.

Starter

$899 once, then $97 a month

Everything a customer checks before getting in touch.

  • Home page and a services page
  • An about page that says who you are and why to trust you
  • A contact page with a quote form that asks for what you need to reply
  • Built for phones, with your number one tap away

Paid once, when you approve your mock and want it built.

The monthly plan is the same on both. The only difference is how many pages the website starts with.

What is included

The website, then four things every month.

01. A custom website

Built around what you sell and the cities you cover, rather than a template with your logo dropped in the corner. Starter or Pro, depending on how many pages you want, with a way to get in touch on every one of them.

  • Loads fast, and reads properly on a phone, because that is where customers check you first
  • Your number and a quote form on every page, both working and tested
  • Written by us from what you tell us about the work, not stock filler
  • Changes during the build are free and expected. It is your site.

02. Hosting

Your site stays online and locked down and we deal with everything behind it. There is no second bill, no renewal notice to miss and no control panel you are supposed to log into.

  • HTTPS, so browsers do not warn people away from your site
  • Backups, and the software behind the site kept current
  • If it goes down, it is our problem and you do not have to notice it first

03. Up to 1 hour of changes a month

Email us what you want changed and we change it. Up to 1 hour of changes every month is part of the $97.

  • New services, new photos, new hours, a typo you spotted
  • A service you started offering, a city you started covering
  • Bigger work, like a whole new section, we will tell you plainly if it is more than an hour

04. At least 8 articles a month

Real pages about the work you do, written for the area you do it in. Each one answers a question a customer asks before they hire anybody: what does this cost, how long does it take, what should I ask before I pick someone.

  • At least 8 new articles every month, added to your site for you
  • Tell us anything you do not want on your site and we take it down
  • They are yours. Cancel and you can take a copy of all of them.

A site with dozens of pages about your work in your city is a more useful site than one with five. What any search engine chooses to do with that is not something we or anybody else controls, and we say more about that below.

05. No contract on the monthly plan

Nothing to sign, no minimum term, no notice period and no cancellation fee. Send one email and it stops at the end of the billing month you are in. The full detail is on the cancellation page.

What is not included

The things we do not do.

Worth knowing before you pay rather than after. If you need any of these, we are the wrong people, and we would rather say so now.

We do not promise you a position in search results

Nobody can promise that. Search engines rank what they rank and they change how they do it without telling anyone. Any company that puts a position in writing is either not being straight with you or is about to blame you when it does not happen.

What you are buying is a fast, current, well built site with new pages added every month, and an honest account of the work. That is the product. What the engines do with it afterward is outside anyone’s control, ours included.

We do not run your paid ads

Nothing we do touches Google Ads, Meta Ads, Local Services Ads, or any other advertising account. We do not set them up, manage them, or take a cut of your ad spend. If you already run ads, they carry on exactly as they are and your new site gives them somewhere better to land.

We do not do social media

No posting, no scheduling, no replying to comments, no reels. If social is where your work comes from, keep doing what you are doing. The articles we write are pages on your own site and they are not posted anywhere else.

We do not design logos or branding

Send us the logo you already have and we will use it properly. If you do not have one, we will set your business name in type and it will look clean, but that is a wordmark and not a logo. A designer will do that better than we will, and it is not what you are paying us for.

We do not build online stores

No shopping carts, no product catalogs, no card payments taken on your site, no booking system that takes deposits. This is built to get somebody to contact you, which is how most local businesses win work. If you need to sell products online you need a different kind of site and a different kind of builder.

We do not answer your leads for you

The form goes to your inbox and the number is your number. We do not run a call center, screen your leads or book your jobs. Somebody at your end still has to pick up, and honestly that part matters more than the website does.

Questions we get

Answered before you ask.

Why does it cost less than other quotes?

Three reasons, and none of them is that we cut corners on your site. Most of the work runs by email, so there is nobody on payroll whose job is meetings. There is no office and no account managers. And we build for one kind of website over and over, so the tenth small business’s site takes a fraction of the time the first one did.

The price is also not a starter rate. The $97 a month does not go up after three months.

Who owns the site?

The content is yours: every page, every article, every photo you gave us. Ask at any point, including after you cancel, and we send you an export of all of it at no charge.

The domain is yours too. If it was already yours we never take control of it, and if we registered one for you we transfer it into your account for free whenever you ask.

What you cannot pick up and move is the site running as-is. It is built on our setup, so putting it on another host is a rebuild rather than a file transfer. That is the honest limit and we would rather you knew it now than in the week you leave.

What if I want to leave?

Send one email and you are done. The monthly plan has no contract, no minimum term, no notice period, no cancellation fee, and nobody trying to talk you out of it.

It stops at the end of the billing month you are in. The website fee is not refunded, which is why you see the mock before you pay it. All of it is spelled out on the cancellation page.

Do I have to get on a call?

No. Everything can run by email, from the first message to the site going live. If you would rather talk something through, we are happy to jump on a call.

How do the articles get written?

From the work you actually do. When you start we ask you a short list of questions about what you sell, your area and what customers ask you, and the articles come out of those answers.

If anything in an article is wrong about your business, or you would rather not have it on your site, tell us and we fix it or take it down.

What if I already have a website?

Nothing happens to it. We build the mock alongside it, on a separate link, and your current site carries on exactly as it is. It only changes over when you say so, and if you never say so it never changes.

If the site you have is already good, we will tell you that instead of selling you another one. It happens, and it costs us nothing to be straight about it.

How fast does it go live?

The mock comes first, and you are not paying anything while you wait for it. When you approve it and pay, we build the real site from it.

Once the site is built, most of the remaining wait is the domain pointing at the new site, which is usually about a day. If you do not have a domain yet we register one for you.

What happens if I need something changed later?

You email us and we change it, for as long as you are on the monthly plan. New services, new hours, new photos, a typo. Up to 1 hour of changes a month is included, and if something is bigger than that we tell you before we start.

Your turn

See the site first. Then decide.

Send your business name and your city. We build a mock website of your actual business and email you the link. You have not spent anything and you have not agreed to anything, and you can decide with the thing in front of you instead of a price list.
