Three real ways to get a website for a local business. Where another route costs less to start, the table says so.

Other routes: the studios’ own published prices and timelines. Each linked figure opens its cited source in our website cost guide and our timeline guide.

I’d rather show you than pitch you.

So we build your homepage first, on your real business, and send it to your phone. If it isn’t right, you owe nothing.

The person you talk to is the person who builds it. No committee, no hand-offs. Prefer to meet? We’ll come to your shop anywhere in the south metro.

How much does a website cost?

Websites start at $500, one-time, for a typical 5-page local business site. First we build a free preview of your homepage on your real business; love it, and it's half to finish, half at launch. Not for you, and you owe nothing. Care plans start at $97/mo, and every number is on our pricing page.

Why only $500?

A small local site doesn't need a committee, and we've built enough of them to know exactly what one takes. The person you talk to is the person who builds it, so you aren't paying for layers of hand-offs. We'd rather earn a long care plan than charge a big build fee.

How long does it take?

Days, not months, once we have your photos and details. V the Barber went live on his own domain 5 days after the first build, and Wishi Co.'s first version was up in 2. Here's how long a website takes, stage by stage.

How much of my time does it take?

About two minutes to answer four questions, then a look at your preview on your phone. After that we need your photos, prices and hours, and a quick yes or no on changes. You can do all of it between customers.

I already have a website. Now what?

Maybe a nephew built it, or you set it up on a website builder years ago. If it loads fast, reads well on a phone and brings in calls, keep it. If it doesn't, we build a free preview of your new homepage first, so you can put it next to your current site. You only pay, and switch, if the new one is better. Not sure? Run a free audit of your current site.

Isn't my Facebook page enough?

If every customer already knows you, a Facebook page can carry you for a while. Strangers searching Google want your hours, prices and a way to book or call, on a page you control. We wrote a whole guide on it.

Will I show up on Google?

Nobody can honestly promise rankings. What we can do is build the site the way Google reads it: fast, clear, with your services, city and hours in the code, and tied to your Google Business Profile. Every care plan includes on-site local SEO, like town pages for the places you serve, and our local SEO work takes it further with your Google Business Profile, listings and reviews.

Do you do SEO and ads too?

Yes. Once the website is working, we add local SEO and Google Business Profile work, Google Ads, Facebook and Instagram ads, social media and our CRM platform for follow-up. Packages start at $300/mo, and ad spend is paid directly to Google or Meta. See every service.

Is there a contract?

No long-term contract. The build is a one-time project, and the care plan is month-to-month: from $97/mo for hosting, security, updates, monitoring and 2 content edits a month, with extra edits at $30 each. Your domain name, your content and your photos are always yours.

See your site before you pay.

Four quick questions, then a free preview of your homepage on your real business. Love it, and we finish the build. If not, you owe nothing.
