01 / Focused website engagements

A website
with a job to do.

We design, write, and build websites that get small businesses more calls, bookings, and inquiries.

03Clear ownership and handoff from day one

02 / Three ways to engage

Start with the outcome, not a page count.

Every business needs something different, so we scope each site around what yours needs to do.

01Website package

03Website package

Custom

For when you need more than a marketing site.

Memberships, booking, online stores, or integrations with the tools you already use — where a template won’t cut it.

Timeline · depends on the build

  • Figuring out exactly what you need
  • Design built around how people use it
  • The app and integration engineering
  • Moving over from your old site
  • A plan for what to update after launch

Prices are starting points. Your quote depends on page count, content, and integrations.

03 / How we work

No relay race between a salesperson, a designer, and an anonymous build team.

The person planning your site is the one designing and building it, from the first call through launch.

  1. 01

    Plan

    We learn who your customers are and decide the one thing the site should get them to do — call, book, or buy.

  2. 02

    Design

    You see the pages, words, and look of the site early, while it’s still easy to change.

  3. 03

    Build

    We build it to work on every phone and screen, with forms, analytics, and search basics set up.

  4. 04

    Launch

    We test everything, connect your domain, go live, and hand over the logins and notes you need.

04 / Ownership, without ambiguity

Built to become part of your business — not a hostage situation.

01

Your assets remain yours

You own your domain, brand, business content, photography, and the final approved website content.

02

Accounts stay portable

Where possible, production services are created in or transferred to accounts you control. Third-party fees are paid directly by you.

03

No mystery lock-in

Ongoing care is optional unless a proposal explicitly requires managed infrastructure. We document the exit and transfer path before work begins.

04

Scope is written down

Payment milestones, revision boundaries, content responsibilities, launch criteria, and post-launch support are defined in the proposal.

05 / The practical details

Questions worth answering before a proposal.

If your question is not here, put it in the inquiry. Clear constraints make for better work.

How much does a website cost?

Launch sites (one page, or up to four) usually run $499–$899. Growth sites, with service pages, reviews, and an FAQ, usually run $1,499–$2,499. Booking sites start at $1,499 and online stores at $2,499. Custom builds are quoted after we talk. Optional hosting and care plans start at $39/month. You get a written quote before anything starts.

Do I own the finished website?

You own your domain, brand assets, approved content, and the project deliverables described in your agreement. We also make hosting, platform, license, and transfer responsibilities explicit before work begins so ownership is never a surprise.

Is monthly care required?

Not by default. Some businesses want us to manage hosting, monitoring, updates, and ongoing improvements; others want a documented handoff. If a project relies on managed infrastructure, that requirement and its cost will be stated in the proposal.

Who provides the copy and images?

We shape the site narrative and can edit or develop copy within the agreed scope. You provide the source expertise, factual claims, and brand assets. Photography, illustration, or larger copywriting needs can be included or coordinated separately.

Can you work with our existing site or platform?

Often. We first assess whether the current platform, content, analytics, and domain setup are assets worth preserving or constraints worth replacing. The recommendation is based on the next few years of use, not on selling a rebuild by default.

Do you build booking, ecommerce, or member experiences?

Yes, when the platform and operating model are a good fit. Custom and third-party functionality is scoped separately, and platform, payment, app, and transaction fees remain visible client-paid costs.

What happens after launch?

Every launch includes an agreed support window, account and documentation handoff, and a clear list of next opportunities. Ongoing care or iteration is available when it adds value, but it is not assumed.

What do you need from me?

Someone who knows the business and can answer questions within a few days. Share what you do, who your customers are, and any photos or content you already have. We handle the rest.
