Small Business Website Design & Ongoing Management

See your new site live before you commit. Built from your business.
The Problem
Why most small business websites don't generate inquiries
Cluttered Mobile Experience
Most local service visits happen on phones. When menus are hard to tap and phone numbers are buried, visitors go back to Google and call someone else.
Slow Load Speeds
Outdated site builders with heavy plugins take 4+ seconds to load. Every extra second costs you visitors who never wait around to see your offer.
Forgotten & Outdated
Business owners don't have hours to update photos, hours, or staff bios. So the site goes stale — and stale sites lose trust and rankings over time.
What's Included
Everything your website needs — built, hosted, and managed for you
The $99/mo isn't just hosting. It's a complete managed website service. Here's exactly what that covers:
Custom Build & Design
One-time setup, then it's yours
Ongoing Management · $99/mo
Billed monthly, no long-term contract
No long-term contracts. The $99/mo covers hosting, security, backups, and unlimited edits — cancel anytime after your site is live.
Custom Build vs. Page Builders
Why a hand-coded site outperforms Wix, Squarespace & WordPress
We build on Wix, WordPress, and Shopify when that's the right fit for your budget. But when performance and conversion matter, nothing beats a custom build.
Custom Build
Hand-coded · Edge-hosted · Yours to keep
Page Builders
Wix · Squarespace · WordPress + plugins
We still build on these when budget or simplicity calls for it — but they're a trade-off, not the premium option.

Questions
Frequently asked
What does the $99/month actually cover?
Hosting on fast Edge servers, automated SSL, security patches, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and unlimited text and image edits. You're paying for us to own your website so you don't have to — not just a hosting bill.
Is there a setup fee for the build?
The custom design and build is a one-time setup cost, quoted after the discovery call based on your scope. The $99/mo management kicks in once the site is live.
What happens to my existing Google rankings?
We map every existing URL to its new equivalent and implement 301 redirects before launch. We preserve your search relevance — we don't gamble with it. Significant changes can cause temporary fluctuations, which is why we monitor after launch.
Can I just get a website without the monthly management?
We can discuss a build-only option, but most small businesses find that without ongoing management the site goes stale within months — and a stale site costs you leads. The $99/mo keeps it fast, secure, and current.
