The problem
Built once. Not rebuilt every two years.
Most small business sites load slowly on a phone. The hours are wrong. The contact form goes to an inbox nobody checks. Somewhere there's a stock photo of a handshake.
That isn't a taste problem, it's a construction problem. A site assembled from a template inherits every compromise the template made. We draw yours from what your business actually does, then build to that drawing.
What every build includes
- One builder
- The person who designs your site is the person who builds it. No account manager relaying messages.
- Custom design
- Drawn for your business. Not a theme with your logo dropped in.
- Built for phones
- Designed on a phone screen first, because that's where your customers are.
- Speed
- Pages that load in about a second on a truck's cell signal.
- Found on Google
- Page structure, local listings, and the technical work search engines look for.
- You own it
- Domain and hosting in your name, admin access is yours, and if you leave you take the site with you.

Replacing an existing site
A rebuild is priced from the same three tiers — replacing a site costs about what building one costs. What's different is the work around it: moving your existing content, mapping every old page to its new address, and keeping the rankings you already have. That's included, up to the page count of your tier.
If your site works and only looks dated, say so. Sometimes the honest answer is a smaller job than a rebuild, and we'll tell you that before you spend anything.
After launch
The site is yours the day it ships. Running it costs what it costs anyone: your domain renews at roughly $15 a year, and hosting runs anywhere from free for a simple site to about $25 a month once you add booking, payments, or a content system. Those accounts are in your name, and you pay the registrar and host directly.
If you'd rather not deal with it, we'll take it on. Hosting and security, $45 a month — hosting, SSL, backups, uptime monitoring, and security updates. Full care, $145 a month — all of that plus an hour of changes each month and priority turnaround. Anything beyond that, or without a plan, is $95 an hour.
Both are optional. Plenty of clients host it themselves and call us when something needs doing. There's no retainer either way, and nothing owed to us to keep your site up.
How a build goes
We talk
Half an hour on the phone or a video call about what your business does and who calls you.
We plan
You get a page-by-page plan and a fixed price before any work starts.
We build
Design and writing together, with a link you can watch it come together on.
We launch
We move it live, submit it to Google, and hand you the keys in your name.
Work we take
We build for businesses where the phone ringing is the point. If your customers find you on a phone and decide in thirty seconds, we're a fit — wherever you are.
