Services
Website design services, start to finish
We design, build, launch and look after websites for small businesses and growing ones: new sites, redesigns, hosting, search and the content that keeps a site current. Fixed prices from $499, a free first draft, and you pay only when you launch.
Website design and build
A new site, designed around your business and built for phones, launched on your domain.
Tell us about your business in five minutes, by the short form or in a chat. We design the site, write the words for every page, write the page titles and descriptions search engines read, link your booking, ordering and review pages, and send a free first draft with screenshots and a private preview link.
You ask for changes in plain words until it's right, then approve, pay the launch fee once, and we put it live on your domain. A person on our team checks every first draft and approves every launch.

Free first draft
See your site before you pay anything. No card needed to start.
Fixed prices
No hourly rates and no surprise invoices: anything extra is on our price list and agreed first.
Yours to keep
Once it's paid for, the site and its files are yours, and a domain we register is in your name. Let us host it, or take it anywhere.
Website redesign
Have a site that's dated, slow or hard to change? Send us its address and tell us what to keep: the words, photos and pages people already find. We design and build the new site around them, at the same fixed prices as a new site, from $499. Your domain stays yours: we send simple steps to point it at the new site when you're ready to launch.
Hosting and care
Optional, monthly or yearly, and you can cancel any time.
The care plan keeps your site online and up to date: hosting, your domain's registration and renewal, 4 small edits a month (new photos, prices, hours, a short section) and support by chat and email, from the people who built it.
Without a care plan, we hand you the site's files once the launch fee is paid, and you take care of the hosting, the domain and updates yourself, or with whoever you choose.

Search engines and answer engines
Every site launches search-ready. Search care keeps working on how you're found.
SEO & AEO care works each month on how you show up in search results and in answer engines, the chat-style search tools that reply with a written answer: page titles and descriptions, the structure of your pages, clear answers to your customers' questions, structured data, search console checks and a short report. It's $249 a month.
Nobody can honestly promise a particular position in search results, and we don't. What we do is keep your site fast, clear and accurate, which is what both kinds of search reward. Read how to get your business on Google and what answer engine optimization is.
| SEO & AEO careSearch and answer-engine tuning every month: titles, descriptions, page structure, clear answers and structured data so search engines and chat-style search tools can read, quote and recommend your site, with search console checks and a short report. | $249 a month |

Content and your Google listing
Fresh content adds new pages, articles or updates every month from a short note or call, so your site keeps answering new questions. Google Business Profile keeps your Google listing's hours, photos and posts current, with replies to reviews. Extra edits adds more small edits a month on top of the care plan's.
Add-ons are billed with your care plan, renew with it and cancel the same way, at any time.

Questions people ask
Do you redesign existing websites?
Yes. Send us your current site's address and we use what's worth keeping as the starting point. A redesign costs the same fixed launch fee as a new site, from $499, and you keep your domain.
Can you write the words for my website?
Yes. We write the words for every page, on every launch. Or send us what you have and we'll shape it.
Do you do SEO?
Every site we build has search-ready page titles and descriptions and fast, phone-friendly pages. For ongoing work on how you're found, add SEO & AEO care to the care plan. Nobody can honestly promise a particular position in search results, and we don't.
What is answer-engine care?
It keeps your site easy for chat-style search tools to read, quote and recommend: clear facts, answers to the questions your customers ask, structured data and up-to-date details. It's part of SEO & AEO care ($249 a month). What answer engine optimization is.
Can you manage my Google Business Profile?
Yes, with the Google Business Profile add-on ($49 a month): we keep your hours, photos and posts current and reply to your reviews, so your listing matches your site.
Can I keep my site without a care plan?
Yes. Without one, we hand you the site's files once the launch fee is paid, and you host it, with its domain, wherever you like. With one, we host it, register and renew the domain, and make small edits each month.
