Template sites all end up looking the same because they are the same. We build yours from scratch for a small one-time fee, then keep it fast, secure and up to date for a flat monthly — from $800 to build and $100 a month.

Most small-business sites fail at one of three things: they look generic, they're painful on a phone, or nobody can find them. We fix all three in every build.
We start from your work, your photos and your customers — not from a layout twelve thousand other companies are already using.
Most of your visitors are standing outside your door on a bad connection. Hand-written code loads in about a second, where a builder site takes five.
Every page ships with the titles, descriptions and local business markup search engines need, plus your Google Business Profile connected properly.
No mystery, no radio silence. Here's exactly what happens between the first call and your site going live.
We ask what your business does, who you want walking through the door, and what your current site is failing to do. You leave with a fixed price and a date, whether or not you hire us.
We map every page, write the first draft of your copy, and agree what each page is meant to get a visitor to do. Nothing gets designed until this is signed off.
You see the real thing in a browser, not a flat picture of it. Revision rounds are built into the price — two on Spark, three on Anvil, as many as fit the window on Bespoke — so we never nickel-and-dime you for edits.
Hand-coded, wired to your forms, booking tools or payment provider, then tested on real phones, tablets and desktops before anyone else sees it.
We put it live, hand you every login, and walk you through updating it yourself on a recorded call. Then we check in at 30 days to see what the numbers say.
Close enough to sit down at your counter and see how the place actually runs — which is where the good ideas come from. We cover about an hour in every direction, and work remotely beyond that.
Nearly every studio wants five thousand dollars before they start, and nothing at all afterwards. That suits the studio. It is why so many small-business sites are three years stale and nobody can log in to fix them.
From $800 for a custom, hand-coded site. Half to book your slot, half on launch day once you have seen it and approved it.
From $100. Not just a server bill — it includes real change work every month, so the site still says the right thing in two years.
The arrangement only works if you stay because it is worth staying. So there is nothing holding you in but the work.
Hiring anyone to build a website is a leap. We have arranged ours so the risk sits with us, not with you.
The monthly is the catch, and we print it in the same size type so you can judge the two together. The build fee alone does not cover our time on a project — the care plan is what makes it work for us, and it is what puts a properly built site in reach this month instead of next year. The build itself is the same hand-coded, custom-designed work either way.
Spark is $800 to build then $100 a month. Anvil, which most businesses want, is $1,200 then $175. Bespoke — stores, bookings, multiple locations — is $1,900 then $300. That works out at $2,000, $3,300 or $5,500 across the first year, and less after that. Every figure is on the pricing page, because you should not have to book a call to find out whether you can afford us.
No. There is no minimum term and no cancellation fee — 30 days' notice and the monthly stops. You own the design and the code, and the domain is in your name from day one, so if you leave you take the whole site with you and we will help with the transfer at no charge. What stops is our hosting, the maintenance and the monthly edit time.
Fast hosting, SSL, your domain renewal, daily backups, security patches and uptime monitoring — and then the part most care plans leave out: real change work. Thirty minutes a month on Spark, an hour on Anvil, three hours on Bespoke. New prices, new photos, updated hours, a seasonal banner, a new staff member. Anything that breaks because of how we built it is fixed free the whole time you are with us.
Free with every care plan. Watch your build come together, see how much edit time you have left this month, send us a change, and pull down any invoice — without writing an email.
Every stage, with the private preview link as it comes together.
Exactly how much of this month's included time you have used.
One form, straight into our queue, no email thread.
Every receipt and invoice, downloadable any time.
Thirty minutes on a call and you'll leave with a fixed price, a timeline, and an honest answer about whether you need a new site at all.
