Design, build, domain, hosting, HTTPS, and search setup — handled in one
pass instead of strung out across a month of revision rounds. You own the site outright.
No monthly platform fee, no template you have to work around.
From the moment we have what we need to a live, indexed site. Not a
best case — it’s the pace we work at. See the note below.
$20–50$0–5/MO
License fee → hosting
Wix, Squarespace, and GoDaddy charge $20–50 a month for a license
to use their software — stop paying and the site stops working. That line item goes away.
What replaces it is commodity hosting you buy direct: free at this size on most providers, a few
dollars a month if it grows, and never marked up by us.
100%
Yours to keep
You own the domain, the hosting account, and the code. Nothing is held
hostage if you decide to take it elsewhere.
About the 48-hour turnaround: the clock starts once we have
everything the build needs from you — copy, images, logo files, domain or registrar access, and
any booking, payment, or scheduling accounts we need to connect. It does not start at signing. If
something is still outstanding we’ll tell you exactly what, and the 48 hours begins when the
last piece lands.
What’s Included
Every build ships complete.
Not a design file and a list of things you still need to arrange. A working site,
pointed at your domain, findable in search, on the day it goes live.
01
Design
A system built from your existing brand — colors, type, and layout
that match what your customers already recognize from your door, your truck, or your paperwork.
02
Build
Lean, modern code engineered for speed and reviewed line by line. Fast on
a phone, which is where most of your customers will see it first.
03
Launch
Domain, hosting, and HTTPS configured and pointed correctly. If you
already have a domain somewhere, we handle the move.
04
Findability
Search tags, structured data, sitemap, and social previews configured
before launch — not bolted on later as an upsell.

Often a separate SEO contract
Subscription vs. Hosting
Two different bills, and only one is avoidable.
This is the part website builders tend to blur, so it’s worth being plain
about. A platform subscription and a hosting bill are not the same kind of charge.
What most small businesses pay now
A platform subscription
What it is
Rent for software. The editor, the templates, and the servers are bundled into one monthly
charge, and you are a tenant on their system.
What it runs
Roughly $20–50 a month for a business plan — and it climbs when you add a store,
remove their branding, or connect a domain.
If you stop paying
The site goes dark. There is no working copy to take with you, because what you built only
runs inside their platform.
What you’d pay with us
Hosting
What it is
A commodity — storage and bandwidth for files you already own. Dozens of providers sell
the identical thing, and they compete on price.
What it runs
A business site this size usually fits inside a provider’s free tier. If it outgrows
one, a few dollars a month — billed to your account, never marked up by us.
If you stop paying
You move the same files to another host and carry on. The site itself doesn’t change,
because you own it.
The one bill nobody avoids: the domain itself, around $15 a
year. You pay that wherever your site lives and whoever builds it — and with us it stays
registered in your name, not ours.
Proof
Built for businesses with nothing in common.
A nurse-practitioner-owned wellness clinic in Tennessee. A grading and excavation
contractor. A 130-year-old Colorado ranching association. Different industries, same approach:
understand where the business creates value, then build a site that strengthens it.
