Why I build these

Word of mouth gets you mentioned.
Google gets you hired.

Most owners I talk to tell me they get all their work from referrals. That’s a good sign. Here’s what the person who got that referral does next, and why I think every local business should have a site and a Google profile working for it.

  1. Someone recommends youA neighbor drops your name in a Facebook group, or a friend passes it along.
  2. They search your nameBefore they call, they type your business into Google to see who you are.
  3. They check you outReviews, photos of your work, your hours, and whether you have a real website.
  4. They make the callLooks legit: they call you.Nothing there: they call the next name.
Foundation, year one$643
$295 build + $29/mo. Website, Google Business Profile setup (or a tune-up of the one you have), hosting and monthly updates.
Every year after$348
For most of the businesses we build for, one or two jobs (or a few sales at the counter) covers that.
Not on this ticket

What I won’t do.

Every web company has a list of things they’ll sell you. Here’s mine in reverse.

  • Templates with your logo pasted on. Every site is built from your own photos and the services you actually offer.
  • Long proposals and discovery calls about calls. One 20–30 minute form, and a first draft in 1–2 business days.
  • Surprise fees after signup. The whole invoice is on the pricing page.
  • Holding your domain hostage. It’s yours. Cancel anytime and it goes with you.
How a build goes

From ticket to live.

01

You fill out one form

About 20–30 minutes on your business, services, area and photos. Answer it from your phone.

02

Draft in 1–2 days

Within 1–2 business days of getting your form, you see the actual site, built out with your info.

03

Revised till right

Nothing launches until you approve it. We go back and forth until it reads like you.

04

Live, then looked after

Hosting, maintenance, local SEO, and fresh content every month. Text me when anything needs changing.

Flat prices, no contract, and a site that’s yours.
