How it works

A short call about your business, your customers and what you want people to do on your site.

Starter sites are ready in about a week; Custom sites are designed from scratch in two to three weeks.
03
Take your Starter site and go, or let us host, secure and update it with a dashboard showing who’s visiting and calling.
Yours, not rented
Website builders rent you a template and a subscription you can never really leave. We build something that’s actually yours: your design, your content, your domain in your name. Stay because we take great care of it, not because you’re stuck.
Your client portal
No chasing emails or guessing whether the site is working. See your payments, your customers and your requests in one private place.
Client loginPay invoices, update your card and download receipts any time.
See who called, asked for directions or messaged you, and where they found you.
Change hours, post a special, or request a bigger update in a few clicks.
Your data is yours. Each business sees only its own account.

Questions
Starter is for businesses that want a professional website without a monthly bill. We build a polished one-page site with up to five sections on our proven layout system, styled with your logo, colors, photos and words. When it’s done, we hand it over: you get the complete code, a simple guide, free hosting set up in your own name, and 30 days of free fixes. Custom is for businesses that want something designed from scratch and looked after every month: up to five pages, two rounds of revisions, signature touches like video and galleries, and a care plan that includes hosting, updates, backups, a customer insights dashboard and edits.
It’s yours to run. The site lives on a free hosting account in your own name (we use reputable providers that allow business sites at no cost), and your domain points to it. For 30 days we fix any problems with our work for free. After that, you have three options: keep it as is and pay us nothing; add Basic Hosting for $19/month and we’ll keep it online, secure and updated; or add any care plan for the full experience, including insights and edits. If you just need a change now and then, we’ll do it at $75/hour, always quoted before we start.
You do. We register new domains in your name, so you are the legal owner on record, and we take care of the technical setup and renewals while you’re a client. If you already own a domain, you keep it exactly where it is; we only change the settings that point it to your new website. Your domain is your business’s address online. It should never belong to your web designer.
Website builders are a great fit if you enjoy doing it yourself. With most of them, you rent a template shared by thousands of other businesses, spend your own evenings building and updating it, and can’t take the site with you if you leave. With us, real people design the site around your business, build it, and either hand it over to you or keep it running for you. There’s no cut of your sales, the stats are privacy-friendly, and you own what we make. You also get someone who knows your business by name.
No. You pay the build fee, the monthly plan you choose (if any), and your domain name at our cost, usually about $10–20 per year. Sales tax is added only if Maryland law requires it, and it’s shown on your invoice before you pay. Anything outside your package is quoted in writing before any work starts, so you’ll never get a surprise bill.
The numbers that actually matter to a small business. How many people visited, and more importantly how many of them called you, asked for directions, sent a message or emailed. You’ll also see where visitors came from (Google, Google Maps, Instagram and so on), which pages they looked at, what devices they used, which towns they’re in, your busiest days and hours, and how fast your site loads. We add plain-English notes like “Calls are up 18% this month, mostly from Google Maps.” The dashboard is included with every care plan.
