How it goes

  1. You fill out the form

    Takes two minutes. I call you back the same day, usually within a couple hours.

  2. Fifteen minutes on the phone

    What you do, who calls you, what you want the site to make happen. Send me photos and I'll handle the writing.

  3. You see it before you pay

    Draft in a few days. You tell me what to change, twice. When you're happy, it goes live and you pay the $750.

Tell me about your business

It's $750, flat, due when the site is live. Give me a straight answer — if it's not a fit I'd rather know now than after we've both spent an hour on the phone.

No cost to ask. Nothing due until your site is live.

Got it.

I'll call you at the number you gave me, usually within a couple of hours. Keep an eye out for a local number.

Questions I get

Is $750 really the whole price?

Yes. It's not a starting point and there's no upsell waiting at the end. The only things you pay for separately are your domain name, about $15 a year, and hosting after the first year, around $10 a month. Both are in your name, not mine.

What do you need from me?

Fifteen minutes on the phone and some photos of your work. That's it. I write the copy, you approve it. If you don't have good photos we'll figure something out — phone pictures from a job site are usually better than stock anyway.

How long does it take?

About a week from our call to going live, assuming you get back to me on the draft. If you're slow to reply it takes longer. That's the only thing that ever holds it up.

When do I pay?

When the site is live and you're happy with it. Nothing up front. If you look at the draft and decide you don't want it, you don't pay and we shake hands.

Do I own the site, or are you renting it to me?

You own it. The domain is registered in your name, the hosting account is yours, and if you ever want to move it somewhere else or hire someone else, you can. I don't hold anything hostage.

What if I want changes later?

Two rounds are included before launch. After it's live, small stuff like a phone number or new hours is free — just text me. Bigger changes like new pages I'll quote you, and it's usually not much.

I already get all my work from referrals. Why do I need this?

Honestly, you might not. But here's what happens now: somebody refers you, that person Googles your name, and finds nothing. Some of them call the next guy. A website doesn't replace referrals — it stops you losing the ones you already earned.

I have a Facebook page. Isn't that enough?

It's better than nothing. But you don't control it, it doesn't show up in Google search the way a site does, and plenty of people over 50 won't click into Facebook to find your phone number. A site takes ten seconds to give somebody what they need.

Can you do online booking or take payments?

Not in the $750. Booking software that syncs to your calendar and payment checkout are both separate builds with monthly costs attached. Tell me what you're after and I'll give you a straight number for it.

Will this get me to the top of Google?

No, and anyone promising that is selling you something. What it does do is make sure that when somebody searches your business name, or gets referred to you, they find a real site instead of nothing. I'll also connect it to your Google Business Profile, which does help you show up in local map results.

Who actually builds it — you, or someone overseas?

Me. It's a one-man operation, which is why it's $750 and not $5,000. You get my cell number and you're not going through an account manager.

What if I don't like it?

Tell me what's wrong and I'll change it. That's what the two rounds are for. If after that it's still not right, you don't pay and you owe me nothing.
