Included With Every Package

These pieces stay the same whether you choose Starter, Essential, Professional, or Custom. The tier changes the size of the site and the tools behind it.

A Site That Fits Your Business

The layout is built around your services, proof, and calls to action. It is not a theme with your logo dropped in.

Fast on Phones

Most visitors are on mobile. Your pages need to load quickly, stay stable, and make the next step obvious.

Lead Paths and Simple Booking

Calls, forms, quote requests, and drop-in booking links or widgets are placed where people naturally look for them.

Advanced SEO Setup

The same advanced setup applies across the board: schema, metadata, sitemap setup, page structure, and launch checks.

Ownership

The code and site assets are yours. If you ever move to another developer, you are not starting over.

Launch Support

We handle launch checks and stay available for scope-related fixes after the site goes live.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers before you book a call.

About Costs & Billing

Starter is $499 for one focused page. Essential is $999 for up to 6 pages. Professional is $1,499 for up to 12 pages with lead management, a blog editor, and multiple admin users. Custom builds are scoped when you need CMS workflows, booking, payments, accounts, live reviews, or integrations.

Vercel hosting, SSL, backups, basic monitoring, bug fixes, and monthly status reports. It covers keeping the site running, not just renting server space.

Plan for hosting and maintenance. If a Custom build uses third-party tools, those tools may have their own fees. We call those out before you approve the scope.

We can add pages, sections, tools, and integrations later. The site is not locked into a template system.

Yes. Every package can include a simple booking link or embedded scheduling widget from a tool you already use. A custom booking workflow is different: that means building booking logic into the site, syncing availability, connecting payments, handling accounts, or automating data between systems. That level of work is scoped as Custom.

About Content & Preparation

Your services, service areas, logo or brand colors if you have them, and a few examples of sites you like. If you can explain what customers usually ask before hiring you, that helps even more.

You know the business, so you provide the raw details: services, photos, FAQs, reviews, and anything customers should know. We turn that into page structure and usable website copy.

Use what you have. Real job photos often work better than stock images. We will also tell you what to capture next: before-and-after shots, team photos, work in progress, and finished projects.

About the Build Process

Starter sites usually take 7-10 days. Essential takes about 10-14 days. Professional takes about 14-21 days. Custom work depends on scope and how quickly we get feedback and content.

No off-the-shelf theme for the customer-facing site. The layout is planned around your services, proof, calls to action, and the way your customers choose who to call.

Usually, yes. If the old setup is slow or boxed in by a builder, a rebuild is often cleaner than trying to patch it. We keep useful content and rebuild the parts that are holding the site back.

About Ownership & Control

Yes. The code and site assets are yours. We can host it for you, or help launch it on your account. If you move to another developer later, they are not starting from zero.

Professional includes a blog editor for publishing posts. A full CMS for services, locations, galleries, staff, offers, or custom page sections is Custom only.

A blog editor is for posts. A full CMS lets your team edit structured parts of the site, like service pages, locations, galleries, offers, staff, or reusable sections.

That is fine. We can package the code and assets so the next developer has a clean handoff. If needed, we can keep hosting the site until they are ready to launch it somewhere else.

You can. We will help launch it on your account and include 30 days of support around that transition.

About SEO & Results

The SEO foundation is advanced across Starter, Essential, Professional, and Custom: page structure, semantic HTML, schema, metadata, sitemap setup, performance work, and launch checks. Higher tiers add more pages and tools, not a better SEO foundation.

It helps, but Google Maps also depends on your Google Business Profile, reviews, categories, location, and competition. We offer Google Business Profile optimization separately because it is its own job.

Only with Custom. Smaller packages can still show selected testimonials or reviews you provide. Automatic syncing is Custom work.

Yes. A good site should help people find and trust you even before you run ads. If you do run ads later, the site gives those clicks somewhere better to land.

About Working With Us

You work directly with the founder. That means fewer handoffs, faster decisions, and a smaller project load than a large agency.

Yes. We can work with whoever handles your SEO, ads, or social. Our job is to give them a fast, clear site to send traffic to.

We start with the business, not a design trend. Your services, customers, proof, and local market shape the site.
