Start with the website at $1,500 + $99/mo — live in 7 days, free if we miss the deadline. Add the upsells when you’re ready. 12-month minimum on monthly plans, then month-to-month with 30 days notice. You own everything.
Start with the website. Add what you need from there. Add-ons require an active website (with us or anywhere you host).

Here’s exactly what’s included and what isn’t. No gotchas.
The website goes live within 7 days of you sending content and giving sign-off. If we miss the deadline, the $1,500 build fee is refunded. Stipulations: content delivered within 48 hours of payment, one review call during the build.
The recurring covers hosting, updates, and a real human to call. After 12 months, month-to-month with 30 days notice. Stripe auto-charge handles billing — no chasing invoices, no late fees.
Your domain, your website code, your phone numbers, your customer data. If we ever part ways, you keep everything running and can hire any developer to maintain it. No hostage situation, no proprietary lock-in.
Not included in any tier — if you want managed paid ads, we quote separately based on your budget. We can start with organic only and add ads later once the site has indexed and the pipeline is full.
Hosting, SSL, domain renewal, 2 small content updates per month, email forwarding, contact form spam protection, uptime monitoring, monthly analytics check-in. Major redesigns and new pages beyond the original 20 are quoted separately.
For add-ons (AI receptionist, lead automation), some require third-party services like a phone provider or CRM. We’ll recommend the cheapest reliable tools and total third-party costs typically run $20–50/mo on top of the package price.
$1,500 build + $99/mo. First-year cost: $2,688. The site has to win you back ~2-3 jobs across the year (at typical small-business job sizes) to be net-positive.
| Job size | Jobs needed in year 1 to break even | Jobs to 3x your investment |
|---|---|---|
| $500 (per-visit cleaning, photographer mini-session, etc.) | ~6 new jobs from the site | ~16 jobs |
| $1,500 (typical trade or service call) | ~2 new jobs | ~6 jobs |
| $5,000+ (major project, multi-session work) | < 1 new job | ~2 jobs |
Most local-business websites pay for themselves in the first 90 days because they show up in Google for searches you weren’t getting before. The $99/mo recurring is the maintenance — your site stays current as your business does.
Real answers to real objections. If you have one that isn’t here, text me.
Up to 20 pages of hand-coded HTML, mobile-first, sub-2-second loads, schema markup, sitemap, working contact form, email forwarding setup, domain registration, and SSL. Built and live in 7 days. You own the code and domain. No templates, no page builders, no offshore handoffs.
If your site isn’t live within 7 days of you sending content and giving sign-off, the $1,500 build fee is refunded. Two stipulations: you have to deliver content (text, photos, hours, services) within 48 hours of payment, and you have to be reachable for one review call during the build. The clock pauses if either of those slows down. Otherwise, the deadline is on me.
Hosting, SSL, domain renewal, 2 content updates per month (text changes, photo swaps, hours/services updates), email forwarding, spam protection on the contact form, uptime monitoring, and a real human to call when you need a fix. New pages beyond the original 20 and major redesigns are quoted separately.
Two reasons. One: the build fee covers fulfillment cost, the recurring is the actual relationship — we’re committing to a year of being your support contact. Two: it filters out price-shoppers who’d churn anyway. After 12 months, month-to-month with 30 days notice. Stripe handles renewals automatically.
Any local business that doesn’t have a real website yet, or has one so old it’s costing them customers. Trades, service pros, studios, shops, food & beverage, mobile operators, solo professionals. The build process is the same whether you’re a roofer, a yoga studio, or a food truck.
After the 12-month minimum, give 30 days notice and you’re out. You keep everything — the website code, the domain, the customer data, the email list. Admin credentials get handed over. No hostage situation, no proprietary lock-in. You can hire any developer to maintain the site afterward.
Yes. The website is the foundation; AEO, AI receptionist, review automation, and lead follow-up are all add-ons that can be layered on whenever you’re ready. Every add-on requires an active website (with us or anywhere you host).
Fair question. Everything I build runs on documented, standard tools (Netlify hosting, well-known AI providers, common CRMs). If something happened to me, clients keep the working system and could hire any competent web developer to maintain it. No proprietary lock-in, no bespoke tech that only I understand.
Seven days from when you send content. The fastest builds (where the client has photos, hours, services list, and pricing ready to go on day 1) ship in 4–5 days. The 7-day deadline is the contractual ceiling.
It could be — Wix and Squarespace cost $20–40/month, and there are Fiverr designers at $200–600. The difference at $1,500 + $99/mo is: hand-built and fast (sub-2-second loads), real schema/SEO, contractually guaranteed delivery (free if late), and a real human on call when something needs to be fixed. The $99/mo is the support relationship — you’re paying for someone to be there.
Local agencies typically charge $5,000–15,000 for a comparable build over 4–12 weeks. AI-assisted hand-coding compresses the build cycle so the same quality ships in 7 days at a price small businesses can actually pay.
Yes — see our case studies for real small-business sites we built. Schema markup, reviews integrated, indexed in Google within weeks of launch.
Tell me about your business and I’ll send back a quote, a build timeline, and a sample of what your site could look like — usually within 24 hours. No sales pitch.
