You're open.
The internet doesn't know yet.
We build the website, and we do the parts you'd dread — the domain, the hosting, the Google listing, the photos, the words. You answer some questions. We hand you the keys.

To see your design before deciding
Right now, a customer searching for you finds this.
Drag the handle. Left is a business with no site — a half-filled directory listing someone else wrote. Right is the same business, twenty minutes after launch.

The next three results all have websites.
A website isn't a brochure anymore. It's the first room your customer walks into — and right now, for a lot of good businesses, the lights are off.
We started this studio because the businesses we like best — the ones with a line out the door and no website at all — are the ones losing customers to whoever spent a weekend on a template.
You've got a business to run. We'll do the rest of it.
Most people who never get a website don't stop because of the design. They stop at the domain, or the hosting, or the third email about nameservers. So we took the whole list.
Buying the domain
Registered in your name, not ours. We just do the buying.
DNS and the nameservers
The part that breaks everything if one field is wrong.
Hosting and SSL
Set up, paid, renewed. The padlock in the address bar stays on.
Business email
you@yourshop.com instead of a Gmail address with numbers in it.
Google Business Profile
Claimed, verified, hours filled in, photos uploaded, linked.
Writing the words
We interview you for twenty minutes and write it from that.
Getting photos worth using
A shot list for your phone — or we come and shoot it.
Compressing every image
So the page loads on one bar of signal in a parking lot.
Making it work on phones
Tested on real handsets, not just resized in a browser.
Accessibility
Contrast, labels, keyboard navigation. It's also the law in most places.
Schema and metadata
The invisible markup that tells Google what you are and where.
The sitemap and search console
Submitted, indexed, monitored. You don't need to know what that means.
Form spam
Filtered, so your phone doesn't buzz at 3am for a fake enquiry.
Backups
Nightly. Restorable. You will never think about this.
Analytics
Set up to answer one question: is this thing bringing people in?
Privacy and cookie pages
Written, accurate, and matched to what your site actually does.
Sixteen jobs · All of them ours · None of them billed separately
And here is the entire list of what we need from you.
Twenty minutes on the phone
What you do, who walks in, what you wish the site would handle for you. That's the entire discovery process.
Whatever photos you already have
Phone photos are fine — often better than stock. Got none? Say so and we'll either art-direct a shot list or come and take them.
Your logo, if one exists
A napkin sketch, a sign photo, an old business card. If there's nothing at all, we'll design one and it's yours.
Everything a first website needs, and nothing it doesn't.
One build, one price, one point of contact. Here's what's inside every project.
Design that looks like your business
No stock template with your logo dropped in the corner. We start from your room, your product, your handwriting on the chalkboard — and build the type, color and rhythm out from there.
- Custom layout
- Real photography direction
- Type & color system
Built to be found
Local business schema, clean metadata, a real sitemap, and the Google Business Profile linked up properly.
- Local SEO
- Schema markup
Fast on a bad connection
Your customer is in a parking lot on one bar of signal. The page still loads before they give up.
- Sub-second loads
- Image optimization
You can change it yourself
Change the hours, swap a price, post today's special. No ticket, no invoice, no waiting on us.
- Owner editing
- 15-min handoff call
The parts that actually make money
Booking, quote calculators, online ordering, menus that update, forms that reach your phone the second they're sent.
- Reservations
- Instant quotes
- Lead alerts
We handle the boring parts
Domain, hosting, SSL, business email, backups. You get the logins in a document you own.
- Domain & DNS
- Hosting & SSL
- You own everything
Three sites you can actually click through.
These aren't screenshots or concepts on a slide. They're complete, working builds — press the buttons, filter the menu, get a quote. Each one was built to demonstrate a different kind of business.
These are demonstration builds by this studio, not client work — the businesses are invented. Everything you can press is real.
There are three ways to do this. Two of them are fine.
A website builder genuinely works if you have the weekends to spare. An agency genuinely delivers if you have the budget. We built this for the gap in between — and the figures on either side are real market ranges, not straw men.
| Do it yourself | This studio | A design agency | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | $0 | $1,450 – $5,900 | $6,000 – $35,000 |
| Ongoing cost | $15 – $50 / mo | $89 / mo, optional | $95 – $395 / mo |
| Your time | 30 – 60 hours | About 2 hours | 10 – 20 hours of meetings |
| Who writes the words | You do | We do | They do |
| Who sorts the photos | You do | We do, or direct you | They do |
| Domain, hosting, email, SSL | You figure it out | Done for you, in your name | Done, often billed on |
| Google Business Profile | You figure it out | Claimed and linked | Usually extra |
| Design made for you | A template thousands share | Drawn from scratch | Drawn from scratch |
| When something breaks | A help forum | Text us — same day | A support ticket |
| Time until it's live | Weeks, if you finish | 7 days – 3 weeks | 6 – 12 weeks |
Ranges for the outer columns are drawn from published 2026 industry pricing surveys. If you've been quoted something well outside them, that's worth asking about — in either direction.
Fourteen days, and you never guess what happens next.
The whole process, start to finish. You see the design before any money changes hands.
- 01Day 0
A twenty-minute call
What you do, who walks in the door, and the one thing you wish the site would do for you. No deck, no discovery invoice. Just the call.
- 02Day 3
A free mockup of your actual homepage
Within 72 hours you get a real design — your name, your words, your photos — not a template with a placeholder logo. If you don't like it, you walk away and it costs you nothing.
- 03Day 4–12
We build the whole thing
Copy, photography direction, menus, booking, quote forms, the lot. You get a private preview link from day one and three rounds of revisions to push it where you want it.
- 04Day 14
Launch, then hand you the keys
Domain, hosting, SSL, business email, Google Business Profile. Then a screen-share where we show you how to change your own hours — and a document with every login, in your name.
Four questions, two minutes, and we know what to build.
This is the whole brief. Answer it and we'll have enough to send you a real design — no meeting, no forms to print, no jargon. Point at the look you want and we'll take it from there.
What kind of business is it?
Pick the closest — we'll get the detail on the call.
One price, agreed before we start.
No hourly billing, no scope surprises, no invoice that lands bigger than the quote. Pay it once, or spread it across the year — same site either way.

After launch
The care plan — $89 a month, and genuinely optional.
Cancel any month you like. Cancelling doesn't take your site down and doesn't hold your domain hostage — it's registered in your name either way. We'd rather you stay because it's worth it.
- Hosting, SSL and domain renewals — handled
- Backups nightly, restore on request
- Uptime monitoring, and we notice before you do
- Security patches and software updates
- Small content changes — text us, it's done same day
- A plain-English traffic report every month
Everything people ask before they say yes.
Eighteen questions we get on nearly every first call, answered the way we'd answer them on the phone. If yours isn't here, ask it — we'd rather answer than have you wonder.
The number on the pricing table is the number. A Full Build is $2,950 once, or $349 a month for a year — and that includes the domain, the hosting, the SSL certificate and your business email for the first year, which most quotes leave off and bill you for later. After launch the only ongoing cost is the $89 care plan, and that's optional. There is no setup fee, no discovery fee, and no charge for the revisions.
